Happy Easter!!

Hey guys! So, yesterday was... EASTER!! One of the best holidays of all times, next to Christmas, in my opinion.


I absolutely LOVE Easter, because every year for as long as I can remember, me and my family have this tradition where me and my brothers will wake up super early, and find a plastic egg at the end of our beds with a slip of paper with a note like 'Where do you put your shirts?' and we'll look in our dressers and another egg will be there, with another little clue, and more and more, leading up to our Easter basket, which was filled with candy and gifts! 

Then we'd spend all morning hanging out and playing with our new stuff.


This Easter was the BEST. Our cousins who like us, had moved just a few months ago from New York, but to South Africa had come and spent the weekend, and we went over to their house after our basket hunt that morning, where we had lunch, played games and then went on a long hike. When we came back, we stayed in a room while the parents hid a bunch of chocolate eggs all over the yard, and went on a hunt!


SO much chocolate!! But now I have a canker sore from all the sweets... :(


Also, of course I was able to appreciate the TRUE meaning of the holiday, behind all the gifts and sweets. May Jesus live on!


I hope you guys enjoyed your holiday, and if you don't celebrate Easter, I hope you enjoyed the day!

So let's talk about MUSIC

Hey! So today I wanted to talk about my lovely journey through music! 🎵   I have always loved music, pretty much since I was born.  I remember when I was 3-6 or something like that, I would put on my rainbow fairy wings and gather my family in the living room to sing for them. I would ask, 'Should I sing about a house, butterflies, a hill or a rainbow?' and I'd make up little stories while singing.  I mostly just listened to the songs my parents would play around the house when I was young, but then, when I was 6/7 I would go to my best friend, Imani's house sometimes and we'd play music on their family computer and dance and sing.  My favorite artists at that time were Meghan Trainor, Selena Gomez and Shawn Mendes. I would listen to their songs on repeat over and over again.  Then, I stopped listening to music as much and just had a big gap. During the summer before 5th grade, I believe, I started listening to music again, and started loving Camila Cabell...

Are dogs REALLY allergic to Chocolate?

-
  So, here's the big answer: Dogs are technically allergic to chocolate, but it depends on the type of dog, and chocolate. Some dogs would be completely fine if they snarfed down a whole chocolate bar! Others would likely face seizures and possible death. Why would some dogs even be allergic to chocolate in the first place, though? Well, it really depends on the dose of chocolate. Chocolate contains two things that are toxic to dogs: a thing called theobromine  and caffeine , which are basically identical, and belong to a group of chemicals called methylxanthines.   I know it sounds complicated, but basically for dogs chocolate = toxic chemicals. Sometimes it is fine if your dog eats some chocolate, and sometimes even a bunch of chocolate! But if it is pregnant, young or has some sort of health problems, keep away!!  In general, it is definitely  not recommended to feed your dog chocolate, (because who wants to take the risk of having their dog die bec...
