Food life hacks

Hey, everyone, it's Alisa! Today I wanted to make life hacks for food. Because I love food and erring my food easier is perfect!!

Did you know you could poke a cupcake sheet through the Popsicle stick? When the Popsicle melts and drips, it will drop on the cupcake sheet and not your fingers.

 If by any reason your baked goods have  dried, you could put bread on it! The cookie absorbs the bread's moisture and they are good as new.

Mix up the classic Pb&J by blending it in a blender. Add some bread/milk in and you're good to go.

Make flat burger patties by putting your thumb in the middle of the patty.   Instead of the patty cooking round, it will grow flat.

You could make the best water by adding fruit in there. (Cucumber, Lemon, Mint). The water will absorb your fruits and make you some cool infused water or tea.  You will also get the benefit of extra health and vitamins in your water. 

These are more advanced life hacks but that's ok. They are still really good life hacks that you never heard of. :)

DIY Chapstick

To kick off my DIY blogs, I am going to do another DIY blog.DIY stands for doing it yourself because it is very easy. Today I am going to teach you to do an easy lipbalm.

Materials 
Container
Wax (like beeswax, vaseline, or protoliem jelly)
Any flavouring you want

Procedure
Melt your wax and pour it into your container. Add any flavouring you like to your container. These are literally the only instructions there are. It's that easy.

To make it personalised, you could add anything you want (that's reasonable). You could add colouring, sparkles, or any spices you want! You could also make a label and make it cute and personalised.

I'm in love with this DIY because you control the amount and what you want to put inside our chapstick. It's also super easy, and way cheaper that buying chapstick all the time because you have the ingredients to make more than one. I hope you make this DIY 
Peace, Alisa <3

Charger problems

Who's charger is it?
Are you not able to figure out whose charger is whose? Well, you don't have to worry anymore. All you need to do is just personalize your charger.
First grab some strong glue like mod posh. Then take anything you want to decorate with like glitter or stickers.

I don't recommend washi tape because it's hard to wrap it around perfectly. But if you want to use tape or ribbon go ahead.

You could also use beads, jewels, bows, and stickable objects. Out your glue all over and stick your thins on. Now you won't jar to worry about taking someone else's charger. Or if someone else is taking yours.

This also works well on earphones or any other cord you have.
Idea: give this as a gift or use this as a party/hang out activity. It's really cute and a fun idea to pass time. :)

Chanukah

Hello! Welcome to my blog this week :)
Today I will be blogging about Chanukah and how I celebrate it.
This particular Chanukkah my family and I  went to the new Cosco near my house and looked at the lights that were decorated on the trees.
We bought a huge bag of mnms because my family and I  have a tradition of  playing a game. The game is that there is a bowl of mnm's and all of us have mnms. We take the dreidel and spin it. If it lands on a nun (Hebrew letter) we get no mnms. If it lands on gimmel we take three from the large bowl.
We eat jelly doughnuts which are delicious, and a cake my dad bought. We then lighted the candles and exchanged gifts. 

My sister gave me a chapstick and two lipglosses, she is so sweet to get me a gift, especially things   I like. My mom gave me a stuffed giraffe/owl because I collect stuffed animals like the giraffe. (TY Beanie boos) 
I also got some stuff from my grandma and perfume from my dad. 
This Chanukah has been a lot of fun and memorable. :) Thank you so much for reading my blog and have a nice day. 

The giver

Hey everyone today I wanted to to talk about the book The Giver. I finished the book yesterday and it was such a good book. The book is about a community where everyone is the same and the community is all about perfection. There is no emotions, feelings, or differences. Except the giver and Jonas, who have all the memories of the past. Like colors, feelings, and emotion. 

Jonas is selected to be the receiver and goes every day to get memories like anger, happiness, and other emotions. He goes through pain and sees beyond, sees stuff that the community doesn't have the ability to see.

That is basically the summary of the book and I totally recommend it. This book teaches us what we have and to be thankful for it.  We learn that life is nothing without emotions and differences. 

The community style is called a utopian society, where everyone is the same. Obviously, this book is fiction, there's no way a utopian society could work in life. First of all, most of the people in the world could see colors. Colors are such a beautiful thing in life, and I don't think anyone would want to get rid of that. 

Especially our special talents, I don't think people would want to get rid of that. Or our feelings, feelings is a very important part in life. It's important to have emotion, and feelings. Therefore, I don't think a utopian society would happen.

Question: Have you read The Giver? If you have did you like it? If you haven't do you want to?
