Expectation Of Change

@mushroomalice Hello everyone. Long time no chat. I hope you are healthy and keeping well. I’ve been MIA on here since Valentine’s Day. I’ve been keeping busy though, doing lots of journaling and reflecting, arts and crafts, cleaning and organizing (what else is there to do right now, let's get real) . Right now all of us are being faced with copious amounts of CHANGE with the pandemic in full swing. Sure we could talk about the pandemic and how it’s impacting us but let’s get real, that’s all anyone is talking about. Today I want to talk about personal change and the expectation that is associated with it. I turned 25 last September. I’m at an age where everything around me is constantly changing . It’s been almost 3 years now since my boyfriend and I moved to Alberta from Ontario. At that time I didn’t really know what my timeline was and if I’m being honest I still don’t. If you are confused when I say my timeline this is what I mean. I’m constantly asked by friends ...

Victim Of Self Doubt

                  @mushroomalice      I feel that I am taking longer and longer to write my blog posts. Well not just writing them but editing and posting them. This is closely linked to today’s topic of self doubt. The past month or so I have struggled with motivation and found every possible way that I could to put off posting on my blog as I doubted my own ability to write. I have had so much positive feedback about my blog and I am beyond grateful for that. Today I want to discuss something that I personally feel victimized by (raise your hand if you’ve ever felt personally victimized by Regina George).      They say that history repeats itself and I believe that this is true not only for the world but our own unique history. How many times have you said you won’t ever do something again and well you end up doing it again. Perhaps we didn't learn our lesson the first time or we doubted o...

Ask The Astrologer Maxine!

      Calling all Astrology lovers (and even those who know nothing about Astrology)! I am beyond excited to share an interview that I did with an amazing Astrologer , Maxine. I connected with Maxine through Instagram about a year and a half ago. I was looking to get a birth chart reading done and a close friend of mine recommended Maxine. I was completely overwhelmed and had no idea what to expect but she made the entire process so easy! Maxine is such an inspiring human! She has been kind enough to answer some questions that I had about Astrology. She also cleared up some misconceptions that people have about Astrology , so please read on! image by @indg0 _________ Tell us a little about yourself?   I am Maxine. I live in a tiny NYC apartment with my love. I am passionate about connecting with others! I love to uplift and empower others-- whether through Astrology , writing, etc. I also love to practice yoga daily, have been vegan for 6 years, love writing p...

The Perfectionist

  Hello everyone. I’ve been MIA for a bit. If I’m being honest I’ve had a bit of writer's block. There are a bunch of topics that I want to discuss however when I write about something I need to feel 100% confident in the content that I am posting all over the web. I’ve also been going through a bit of an emotional rollercoaster. I figured this topic would be a great way for me to get some things off of my chest and hopefully help you guys understand perfectionism at its best and worst moments.  What exactly is a perfectionist ? Well it’s actually a really hard thing to explain. The reason that I say this is because the idea of perfection is something that can be viewed differently to each person. But a quick explanation is someone that refuses to accept any standard short of perfection . Do you ever do something and then instantly regret it? ME TOO. Well I do this a lot. You would think that with being a perfectionist nothing could possibly go wrong right? NO...

Big Nose Girl Living In A Shady World

From reading the title of this blog post you’ve probably guessed it, I’ve got a big nose. This blog post is not meant for me to gain sympathy from you folks but more to raise awareness in regards to self esteem and confidence.       I am a little upset. When I was originally writing this post the system that I use to write auto-saved after I hit undo on something and my entire post got DELETED (sad Jess) . I truly hope that I was able to get everything brought over from my previous attempt at this post. Enough with my drama-lama and enjoy!      I got my big nose from my dad's side of the family. My dad has a big nose and so does my grandma. Actually I think that quite a few of us on that side of the family have rather large noses. It’s not just the size of our noses that are different from others but rather the shape. The actual term for the shape of my nose is roman, hook or aquiline. This shape is looked at as differe...

Growing Up Means Owning Up

           There is an expression, young and dumb. I wouldn't say that I was 'dumb' but maybe stubborn, rude and petty (lol) . I spoke about how I don't feel like a grown-up in one of my recent blog posts Do You Consider Yourself A Grown-Up?  I may not feel like a grown-up however this post will explain a bit more in detail about how I've grown and become a tad more aware of my actions. I've had falling outs or confrontations with many people, actually 3 of my closest friends and I had falling outs but now we are closer than ever! The explanation for being so close to these friends again is all in the title of this blog. Y es boys and girls, growing up means owning up!        When I was younger I placed a lot of blame on other people, my friends, spouses and even my family. I moved to Alberta about 2 years ago from Ontario. I came to Alberta with a few skeletons in my closest to say the least.      About 3 years ago I...

Traditions Are Fading

           With each day that passes more technology is being developed and integrated into our everyday lives. As much as I am all for new technology that will make my life easier I still like to kick it old school and do some things in a rather traditional way.       Amazon has changed the way that I purchase many items. Since I moved across Canada Amazon Prime has aided me in purchasing many gifts for family members without paying the hefty cost of shipping. I pay $7.99 CAD a month for an Amazon Prime membership and after just one purchase it pays for it's self (and some) compared to the cost of shipping by standard post all the way to Ontario.      I love getting packages in the mail (maybe a little too much).  I think that many people are like me in this way and also enjoy getting stuff in the mail. As much as the cost of shipping is killer I do enjoy sending stuff through the  traditional mail method. I li...
