From within the ashes, there will rise a smoke

Hello my lovely readers! It has been a long, long time since I have posted. I decided that I would love to get this blog back up and running. I'm going to keep a majority of the old posts, but some have gone.

This blog will cover a wide spectrum of things, from some game and product reviews, to talking about mental health, technology and sharing some of my artwork. So not too different! I'm excited to start writing about mental health in general and my journey.

I hope that any of you that still read, and any that come by in the future, will enjoy what I post!

SweeTARTS Soft & Chewy Ropes

Am in love with the SweetTARTS Soft & Chewy Ropes. I'm a sucker for Twizzlers, so when Smiley360 gave me the opportunity to tries these, I hopped on board and received the Cherry Punch flavor. They taste fantastic.  The outside tastes like a normal cherry flavored rope candy, but the inside is filled with a tangy Cherry Punch filling. And unlike other rope candies, they are not tough or waxy, just a chewy, smooth texture with a nice kick. They come in a pack of 8, and are only 45 calories per rope to boot. Definitely worth getting again! Please note that while I received this product for free from Smiley360, the opinions are my own.

Smiley360 Review: Kikkoman Juicy Bird Project

So recently, I was chosen for Smiley360's " Kikkoman Juicy Bird Project ". In this we were to brine a chicken or turkey using Kikkoman Soy Sauce. Although I received these items to review for free, this is entirely my own opinion. I also apologize ahead of time for my usually horrible pictures as my cell phone has trouble in low light. I think it's time to start using a proper camera! "Experience the taste of umami in your meals with Kikkoman Soy Sauce . Try cooking with this dynamic sauce in traditional Asian dishes, mainstream American foods, classic Mediterranean dishes, Caribbean cuisine, or even to brine poultry." I've never brined poultry before, so I was excited to participate. I received not only 2 coupons for a free bottle of Kikkoman Soy Sauce, but a 5 gallon brining bucket as well. First, here's the recipe that was recommended: Kikkoman Chicken Brine Recipe Ingredients 2 cups Kikkoman Soy Sauce 2 Gallons water 1...

Pizza Dip

I love dip. Probably a lot more than I should. I stumbled upon a few recipes talking about pizza dip, and thought it was a fantastic idea. However, I found a lot of them lacked exactly the spice that I wanted, so my friend and I came up with our own version. I love this recipe because it doesn't take a lot of time to prepare, and takes even less time to cook. Which is a plus in my book. You can serve it with chips, crackers, or my favorite: sliced french bread. Pizza Dip Ingredients 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened 1 cup pizza sauce 1/2 tsp garlic powder 1/2 tsp onion powder 1/2 tsp basil 1/2 tsp Italian spices 1/2 tsp parsley 1 tsp sugar (optional) 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese Sliced black olives Pepperoni slices    Instructions Spray a microwave safe dish with non-stick spray. In a separate bowl, soften cream cheese by microwaving it for 30-45 seconds (or leave it out to soften for a bit beforeha...
