I had to sit and think hard about this post. There was a lot of wavering on whether or not to post a wish/gift list given the state of the world. It somehow seemed inappropriate, yet when I thought more about it, there is nothing wrong with wishing. Perhaps I’m reading more into it than is necessary. I don’t want it to come off as selfish. I also don’t want anyone to think that I’m promoting going out, especially with the current goings on. If you have the resources to shop online, practically anything can be delivered. Deliveries can also be made to you loved ones, which is convent, especially now. If you are curious about my (admittedly short) list, read on.
Continue ReadingBlogmas, Day 2: Content
Sometimes it can be difficult to come up with a topic that is original, or at least sounds less repetitive. I will have a post on gifting. Even though this blog is relatively small, I’d like to think that (even a little bit of it) provides some sort of value and/or entertainment. Some of the content that will be featured relates to WoW’s Feast of Winter Veil. I’ll also have some gift and wrapping ideas. I’m hoping to have a video posted soon, and would love for you to join me. We might even be able to get a Winter Veil stream going as well as a livestream as the holiday approaches.

This December we are brining back 31 Days of Blogmas. Each day will be a new topic, rambling, recipe, etc.

Another month has gone by, and we’re almost to a new year. I’ve started to do a pantry clear-out to use up everything we have. It’s so easy to overbuy, and even with a stricter stay-in that started yesterday, we have plenty of dry goods and shelf-stable items. Even though I’m low-waste, I’ve put that aside in favor of keeping with safety guidelines. Also, side note, if you are feeling guilty about accumulating more waste than normal, don’t. You can’t help the current state of things, and an increase in waste materials is to be expected. You are doing the best you can. Enough with that. Let’s crack on!
Continue ReadingPeriod Talk: FLEX Cup
I bought the small FLEX Cup a couple of weeks ago when it was on sale. The one thing about silicone is that it collects lint like crazy, hence why there is some on the cup. I always wash cups before using them, and you should too. Anyway, here are my thoughts on the FLEX Cup. Disclaimer: All opinions are my own. Always consult your physician before trying out products like these and others. This is not a sponsored post.
Continue ReadingGratitude in November 🍂
Being grateful should apply regardless of the time of year. Since November is synonymous with “giving thanks” I figured I’d start a list. I’m only 11 days behind (where did the weeks go?), so here goes. Also, I’ll be updating this post as the month rolls on. In WoW, Pilgrim’s Bounty is just around the corner, so we will have a small spread. I have a zero-waste giveaway planned for the holidays– more on that later. What else? I suppose that’s all for now. What is on your grateful/thankful list?
Continue ReadingCatching Glimr *NEW Battle Pet*
There is a new battle pet for all of you collectors out there: Glimr. Glimr is reminiscent of the new Funko Pop that you can check out here. When the announcement was released that a new battle pet was found, one of my guildies and I went to Northrend to start the quest chain. Before you get started, this week is Darkmoon Faire, so head over to get the buff. You won’t need it, but it doesn’t hurt to have it. You will also want some gold because you will fatigue and die…unless you’re lucky and don’t. I died twice. You may also want a water mount since the majority of the quests will have you, not only fatigue, but place you deep in the icy waters of Northrend. Another item that is optional, but can come in handy, is having an extra under water breathing elixir. You are given three Elixir of Water Breathing after exchanging a scale with King Mrgl-Mrgl. If you have the Underlight Angler with Underlight Blessing, you can equip to be able to breathe under water. This only comes in handy for non-combat travel.
Continue ReadingHalloween + Shadowlands NEW Launch Date 🎃
In case you missed it, Blizzard has announced a new date for the release of Shadowlands: 11/23/2020. This comes after they pulled the original date, set for October 23rd, in favor of (hopefully) providing a better experience. I’m really excited to see what new pets, toys, and mounts will be available and how everything in the World (… of Warcraft) falls into place. You can view the story trailer here. Will you be joining us in the Shadowlands?
Continue ReadingHallow’s End 2020
Hallow’s End is one of my favorite holidays. From October 18th to November 1st, you can participate in one-time quests, dailies, apple-bobbing, and trick-or-treating. There are various inns that have Candy Buckets that you can loot for Tricky Treats.
Continue ReadingLow-Waste & Guilt
We are living in very interesting times. Just when grocery stores were opening up to the idea of customers bringing their own containers and bags in, we are hit with a pandemic. Scientists are still finding out new elements of it, which is why certain statements have changed over time. Due to safety concerns, most places where I live no longer accept personal packaging for bulk bin products nor reusable bags brought from home. Unfortunately, this is our new “normal” for the time being (strictly regarding grocery shopping).
