Tea Exchange coming up!

Hey everyone!
So I have decided to host a tea exchange! I'm not sure how many of my readers enjoy tea though, but I thought I'd give it a shot. ;) I participated in a tea exchange a little while back, and I got a wonderful friend doing it. So, here's how it'll work: if you are interested in participating, please email me at earthykatie@gmail.com. I'll give you all the details after you email me. ;)

The basics are: I'll pair you up with somebody, maybe somebody near your own age (so maybe you can make a friend through it. ;)) and you'll send them some tea, but the person you're sending the tea won't be the same person who's sending you your tea. Then you can make two new friends through this experience.
Does that make sense? ;)
Any age may join.
So if you're interested in participating, email me. :)
Please share! I'd love to get to know my readers better. ;)
Have a great day!
~Katie
P.S Please email me by November 19th. That's 2 weeks away. Thank you!

Which one do you prefer?

Hey everyone! So today, I decided to answer some which one questions. A friend of mine over at her blog, A Noble Calling, did it on her blog, and I thought it looked like fun! So here it goes: Be warned, it's a long post! ;) I was going to number the questions but my computer acted up and decided to put dots instead. :) There are 80 in all.

 

   Coffee or tea? Tea, definitely. I've never had coffee before anyway. Tea has so many different flavours too!

  Black and white or color? Most of the time colour.

Drawings or paintings? Probably drawings. At the same time though, I really like a few paintings I've seen before. Like the Starry Night Sky. That one's my all time favourite. :)

Dresses or skirts? I like both, but most of the time, skirts are my favourite.

Books or movies? I like both. Books, in my opinion, give a lot more details than a movie does though.

Pepsi or Coke? Pepsi definitely. I don't really like coke.

Chinese or Italian? Italian!

Early bird or night owl? Night owl definitely. I love to stay up late.

Chocolate or vanilla? Vanilla. I'm not that big of a chocolate fan, unless if it's a chocolate bar. :)

Introvert or extrovert? Both. I'm an introvert normally when I meet new people, but when I get to know them better, I'm definitely an extrovert.

Hunting or fishing? I don't hunt or fish.

Winter or summer? Oo, hard decision! Both are unique in their own way. :)

Spring or fall? Probably fall.

Rural or urban? Rural. I live in the city though.

Cake or pie? Cake!

Ice cream or yogurt? Oh, I can't decide! I love vanilla yogurt, but ice cream is delicious too!

Ketchup or mustard? Ketchup

Sweet pickles or dill pickles? Neither! No pickles for me. :)

Comedy or mystery? Probably comedy.

Boots or sandals? I love both!

Silver or gold? Silver

Checkers or chess? I'm not a big fan of either, but if I had to choose one, I would say checkers.

Board games or video games? It depends. I like both!

Honey mustard or BBQ sauce? BBQ sauce

Baseball or basketball? Neither really.

Crushed ice or cubed ice? I prefer cubed.

Skiing or snowboarding? I haven't done either. If I had to choose one I would try though, it would be skiing!

Bracelet or necklace? I like both, but I prefer necklaces.

Fruit or vegetables? Both!

Sausage or bacon? Neither. I'm a vegetarian. ;)

Scrambled or fried? Scrambled

Dark chocolate or white chocolate? Oo, hard! I like both. I guess it just depends what mood I'm in.

Antique or brand new? Both!

Dress up or dress down? I'm both. I like dressing up sometimes, and then sometimes I just like wearing jeans and a t-shirt. :)

Cats or dogs? Cats

Pancakes or waffles? I like both, but waffles are better!

Washing dishes or doing laundry? Hmm...probably doing the laundry.

Snakes or sharks? If I had to choose one, then snakes.

Orange juice or apple juice? Orange juice is my favourite.

Pen or pencil? Pen. You don't have to sharpen a pen. ;)

Peanut butter or jelly? Peanut butter.

Adventurous or cautious? I would say I'm more adventurous at times.

Saver or spender? If I'm saving up for something, then a saver.

Glasses or contacts? Glasses

Laptop or desktop? I'm good with both. I'm writing on a desktop right now.

Internet or cell phone? Internet

Call or text? Both. I really like calling my friends because you can have a better conversation, but texting is sometimes easier.

Curly hair or straight hair? I would say in between. I have wavy hair.

Shower in the morning or shower in the evening? More like the afternoon.

Spicy or mild? Spicy, definitely!

Oreos or Chips Ahoy? Oreos!

Truth or dare? Dare!

Stripes or solids? Most of the time, solids.

Bagels or muffins? Muffins :)

Whole wheat or white? I like both.

Bright colors or neutral tones? I like both.

Be older than you are or younger than you are? I just want to be my age. :)

Raisins or nuts? Raisins

Picnic or nice restaurant? Nice restaurant

Black leather or brown leather? If I had to choose, then black.

Long hair or short hair? I prefer my hair long.

Fiction or non-fiction? Both

Math or English? I hate math! Definitely English.

Morning or Night? Night

Full House or Family Matters? I haven't watched either.

McDonalds or Burger King? Neither. I don't eat there.

Baked or Fried? Baked most of the time.

Hamburgers or Hotdogs? Again, I'm a vegetarian. :)

Rain or Snow? I like both.

France or Italy? I can't choose!

13 random facts about me! ;)

Hey everyone!
So I realized, you guys don't really know that much about me, so I've created a list of random facts about me so you can get to know me better.

1. I am a vegetarian.
2. My dream is to one day travel to Alaska, and see the aurora borealis.

3. I have green eyes.
4. I love to write letters to my penpals.
5. I love super spicy food, and put fire sauce all over mexican food.

6. I love to drink tea (I've been thinking, would anyone be interested in me hosting a tea exchange with you guys? Do you even drink tea? :))
7. My favourite colour is purple.
8. One of my favourite movies is Frozen (my favourite character is probably Elsa, but I really like Olaf and Anna too.) ;)

9. I love Krispy Kreme doughnuts! Mm mm! :)
10. I love astronomy. I love to learn about anything and everything in space. But sadly I live in the city so you can't really see the stars that well or see the milky way. :/

11. I'm weird, silly, and clumsy.
12. I'm the only person in my family with red hair.
13. I absolutely love cats! I even have cat leggings. If you refer back to fact 10 about me, you'll notice that I like astronomy. The cats on the leggings are jumping through space. I told you I was weird. ;)

Here's a pic of my leggings. ;)

Announcement: Orange day outfits!

Hey everyone!
I have an announcement to make!

Here's how it'll work. If you have a blog, then comment below and I will go over to your blog and contact you through email. If you don't have a blog, then comment below with your email address. Sound good?

Orange Fishtail bracelets for orange day

Hey everyone! So today I have a tutorial on how to make an orange fishtail bracelet. I am specifically making these for orange day coming up. :)
I don't have a video because I didn't have enough room on my phone to make one, but I do have a few pictures and I hope those are helpful.

You don't really need this many bands, I just grabbed a handful.

If you notice, you can see my shadow taking the picture. :P

This is how you start off. Just take one of the bands and make sort of a figure 8 on your fingers.

Then on top of that figure 8 add two more bands.

Ok, so then you take that figure 8 band and pull it over top of the other two bands.

Does that make sense?

Then add another band and pull the bottom band over again.

You keep doing this until you get the desired length.

Then all you have to do is hook the S hook to both ends.

 

Pull the bottom ring over the top rings like seen in this picture. ;)

 

This is the finished product.

Do you like them?

Do you understand how to make them? If you don't I can go into more detail and help you. :)

Have a great day!

Mug exchange goodies

Hey everyone! So recently I participated in a mug exchange through a blog I read, The Enchanting Rose! It was lots of fun, because I got to know 2 new girls. :)
Today I'm sharing with you my goodies I got from Margaret-Sophie!
 

I just love this mug! It is so cute, and I love how it has a little spoon to stir my tea. :)

I really like all the flowers on it. It's so me.

Isn't this washcloth so cute?

 

I really like all the colours on this cloth! They're all so different, yet they go together so well.

 

Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of the hot cocoa, apple cider, tea, biscotti, or dark chocolate she got me because I was so excited to eat them, I didn't think of taking pictures beforehand. ;) 

Thank you guys for stopping by! I had so much fun participating in this mug exchange!

Have a great day!
