How To Get Rid of Hiccups

Last night, I had  the hiccups really bad out of no where.  Being that it was  1:00am, the only  remedy I knew that  usually works for me to to swallow  a spoon full of sugar.  Now, I am thinking   of Mary Poppins lol.  I'm   love that song by the way.  Anyways,  I didn't want to have some sugar this late of the night.  So I finally  decided to Google  on  hiccups and I found this article  on  Squidoo. Basically, right after the  hiccup, I  need  to exhale and inhale where I am holding my breath. Then  swallow that air  slowly.   I must admit when I read the article, I  thought it was  too simple  for it to work.  The result  ended being it actually  worked.  The first two times  I did this technique it wasn't going away  but that was because I was laughing at  the concept while I  was doing it. But  I must admit when I took it seriously,  it started to  slowing  go away.  I will say it took me 3  attempts to get this  down... but it was gone.   This is technique really amazed me.  Now, I  can remember to this the next time  have  hiccups. I just thought I share this   link with you because it worked for me. And Yes, I stole the little bear picture, he was so cute I just had to have him, I love cute bears :)   So tell me, what other techniques have  you tried to get rid of hiccups? has it worked for you?  How often do you get hiccups?  Here's the link for the technique: How To get Rid of Your Hiccups

4th of July Buttermilk Pie

 My  first  attempt at  making  buttermilk  pie  for the family bbq.  It wasn't completely   flawless when I tried the  test  pie the night before because the bottom of the crust was  not  cooked all the way.  I  found out that   it was probably due to the cookie  sheet  I used. I was thinking it be eaiser to  take the pie out with a cookie sheet than  just directly out  of the oven.  Well my dad  told me  if the first pie  was having  problems its possible that  the cookie sheet was  blocking  the heat from going directly to the bottom of the pie.  It's probably why the  crust was not  fully cooked the first time.

So on a last minute attempt because both pies were  half way done, I  took out the pies  then I placed them back in  the oven on the rack.  I think I  was a bit nervous here because I  was not sure if  the  pies would be fully cooked.  My dad was  joking to me about how I always rely on the Universe to make my  desserts taste  good lol!!! Actually, its true because I was always  think of the  last minute things to create for the first time to family events.  I ended  up cooking the  pies  for an extra 30 minutes in oven compared to  what the  recipe stated, the buttermilk looked was already golden brown so I took it out. I  did pray over the  pies asking the universe to make it  delicious lol.  Mean while my mom's spirit was laughing and teasing me again  and I told my mom "Come on Mom, you're up there now so please make my  pie delicious!" ;)

The end result... a  perfect pie, crust came out beautifully the balance of cream fruit and custard  just worked.  Fresh heavy cream was the way to go. I dont like super sweet desserts so this really worked and my entire family loved it.  And you know what was super cute? A 10 year old girl at the party was  staring and waiting so  patiently for my pie.  My aunt gave her the first slice too. She was super happy, said it was delicious!  Heck she waited  to eat a slice before she  went up stairs to take a bath. Too bad  she fell asleep in the bath tub lol. Someone  had to wake her  up ;)

  Did  you think I leave without  giving  you the recipe?  Nah, wouldnt do that to you guys so here is the link for it. The only thing  I  changed was instead  of  1 cup of sugar  I did  3/4 cup of sugar otherwise it worked out great! The Universe  helped me again, so thank you  Spirit and my  mom up there to help me make such an awesome dessert!

Here's the recipe link: Buttermilk pie

Anime Expo 2012

This  one has nothing to do with my  creations but I just thought I share some  photos  on FB  for  my  Anime  Expo. It was  great  even though i went  completely by myself I did  enjoy it.  I think for the first time I actually took the  time to  take  cos-players and they really put  effort into their  costumes.  Some characters were  really weird  but i found them interesting  enough to take them. So if you haven't  visit my facebook  page, check it out as i will have an  album  of the shots I took of them... Tell me what you think of their  costumes.

Otherwise, I  went on Sunday and  got to see  a concert. I  That was pretty good, i guess I was  waiting for the Fate Zero  Opening song.  She sounded  better than  the original song too...too bad that  I didn't know the other songs she was singing at the concert.

I also debated on either anime  music video contest or the Naruto Shippuden Live action so of course I went with the Live action Film... needless to say it was well worth the wait and  definitely something I  wish  people took the to do the work. Great  fight scenes all the way around but then they are looking for donations to continue the work which i understand since its  very costly in what they are they are trying to bring into the film.

My only complaint would be the fact i missed the voice actor i wanted to see from fate zero  Sadly, his panel  was  on  Saturday but nevertheless the two events I mainly went to were worth it.  Anyways,  I thought I show you a few pics here  and of course there is a whole album of face  book for you to enjoy, but here are a  couple of my favorites...  Anyone else  an  anime fan? And if anyone  is looking to get into anime  I  definitely  recommend Fate Zero which finished recently, a total of only 25   episodes but its definitely one of the best anime I have  seen to date!

Love Thyself More

The Love Thyself More candle is a combination of self love and healing energies all into one candle. White wax in the candle creates a healing energy that helps heal ourselves. Sometimes we are just way too hard on ourselves that we can't see how wonderful we are. In fact, we usually cant accept the beauty in our own self. The pink layer is for the self loving energy that we need to feel secure in our own self and see that we are just as important. In fact, our number priority should be taking care of our self first. While others might consider this as a selfish act, it is not true. Self love plays a important role in our daily lives. The more we love our self, the more we will understand who we truly are on the inside. When we can understand our own self then we can see more possibilities of what we really need in our life. This helps encourage us create what we want in our life.

When I first did this candle on myself I was a bit moody but I also came to the realization that I was hurting myself way too much and it was accepting the fact that I no longer needed to go there. After all, the past is the past, and if I want to change I needed to realize that I am in control of making these changes in myself. While it can be a bit intense for me, it actually lifts off the negative energy out my body. I tend to feel lighter and not worried about what others may think of me because in all honesty it really doesn't matter. What matters is what I think and what I think is best for me in the choices that I make for myself. It is my life , and I can create what I want but I have to believe in myself first before I can manifest anything I want in my life. If I don't believe in myself, how can others believe in me? How can others radiate to me if I don't see my own inner beauty? The main thing is whenever I need that pick me up of loving my own self more, I jump right into lighting this candle for myself. Over the course of lighting this candle more, I have noticed that I am able to be more honest with myself. Hence, I am not moody anymore when I light this candle. I appreciate the healing and self loving energies doing the work for me. I love myself and believe in myself completely.

Treat yourself better every day. See your inner beauty, and love everything about who you are. Even if its hard to release some of the negativity and have faith in your own self , this candle can help bring out the best in you. After all you deserve it!

Cleansing Candle

What could a simple white cleansing candle do? Believe it or not, this cleansing candle packs a pretty good punch of cleaning the energies around you. That is why its included with clearing oil because it simply does that. This is one of the very first candles I made and believe me when I was taught this I even thought there is no way something this plain could do the trick but boy was I wrong! It really does do a nice clearing that you can feel the energy moving along. I personally love this candle as its one of my favorites.

Clearing Candles are great for getting rid of negative energy that is around you. It helps even take out the negative energies in your energetic system as well. Once the negative energy is lifted in the surrounding areas, the positive energy comes in. Because the clearing candle cleanses the space around us , we are able to feel the positive energy surrounding us more which makes it even more refreshing.

It's always a good idea to do some type of cleansing. Clearing the space before you do any type of candle magic is great because that means the next candle you light has a bigger effect. It gives it more of a positive feeling so whether you are casting a spell on yourself or anyone else, it emphasizes the strength of the next candle burning and really puts the energy out there for it to work the way it needs to. Always take the time to cleanse when you feel its time to do some sort of clearing. Even after so many candles burning you want to make sure you are clearing the energy around you and sending the energy out into the universe for them work with it.

For an added boost, I would burn some white sage and blow it around the home. Then light the clearing candle right after that. I find that doing that really gives it a strong cleanse of the space. So its good to experiment with what works for you here. Give this candle a try, you'll be surprise what a how a simple candle like this works! See  link here: Cleansing Candle

Transformation Candle

Well I have to say after putting up the shop a few weeks on Etsy , it has come to my attention that people are making the Transformation Candle as their #1 favorite of what they are seeing so I thought I share a bit about this candle for those that want a bit more detail this item :)

First, in all honesty I love and hate this candle at the same time lol. Honesty, who really wants to face their own self issues? It's hard to work on it alone because we sometimes aren't in the mood to deal with our issues. After all, its no fun either... so why deal with it right? But deep down we know that eventually we have to face what is deep in our soul and be more real with our own self. The benefit of this candle is that whether you know the issue or not , it will come out your system. I have done this candle several times already and it works great alone! But if you are super moody and light this candle watch out because it really kicks you into gear to face what is surfacing up. Yes, you get moody, its that black wax with the Dark moon oil that gives it a pow that you need. It's why I have put a caution in my listing to warn you of the effect of bringing out of the moodiness. Of course I have counter balance the black with the white... you know like ying and yang ;)

The white wax is for healing.. once you get all moody and you accept your deepest issues, the healing takes place... You start accepting you who you truly are, the good, the bad, and the ugly. The healing actually blocks you from hurting yourself emotionally. Instead of hurting yourself, you will begin to make those changes in your own self that you have been afraid to do all this time. It also gives that lift of any negative thoughts or feelings that been lingering in you. I call it the transformation candle because when you are your worse enemy, and you know it, then the next step is to make the transformation in yourself.

Transformation in our own self is the stage of healing the core of our soul. It's the most important step to do. Once we let go things that no longer serves us, we start feeling lighter and happy with our own self. When we can do that, we can manifest what we really want in life and not be afraid of it.

So take a chance on this candle. It wont bite you, it will just be real with you so it can help heal yourself.
