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!

ASMR - Tingles Everywhere

I have a lot of problems with my anxiety that gets so bad that I can't even leave the house. It also disrupts my sleep and I get pretty sleep deprived. I take enough pills already, and I didn't want to tack an addictive sleeping pill on top of everything.

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

Jellies and Bobbles and Fractals, Oh My!

It's been a long time since I've worked on anything art related. It's been hard to come up with new ideas and stay motivated. However, I did sort of recently play around with Apophysis 7X (you can see my other project with this program here ) to create 3D flame fractals and had a blast. So I wanted to post a few of pieces that I worked on. Click on a picture for a larger view.
