About Citrus Fruits

-

Citrus Fruits are amazing fruits to eat, especially on a cold winter like this. 

I love eating citrus fruits. They feel refreshing to your soul and adds so much energy to the day. Grapefruits are one of my favorites, I incorporate by eating it (when it becomes on sale), and use it if I need a boost of energy and focus. 

Lemons are amazing when it comes to putting it in dishes. I use it to put it in Nuoc Nam (a type of Fish Sauce from Vietnam, used in many common dishes such as; Spring Rolls, Bun Xeo; a type of pancake with mung beans, Bun Cha; vermicelli with meat patties, etc.) or squeezing in with hot water in the morning to boost my immune system.

Citrus fruits are packed with lots of antioxidants and vitamin C. It's a great way to refresh your home, by adding it to natural cleansers for dirty tables, for instance, or a great natural repellent for certain pests and bugs (because of how sour the smell is and the strong scent deters them from coming in). 

I love having Citrus fruits around the table, some might say its a great centerpiece of any table including having friends over for a tea party, a housewarming (for a brand-new house), or Thanksgiving dinner with loved ones. Just a fruit basket with citrus fruits can really liven up, make people smile and wow your guests. 

It's also fun to look at pictures of it.

Citrus Fruits!

2024

As 2024 draws to a close, I want to wish everyone love this Holiday Season.  This year, I had been hit with several rejections, failures, and breakable moments. Some of wish I'll share below.  I remember coming into this year with hopefulness, glee and the excitement for whats to come. The place I'll go, the people I'll meet and other things that excite me.  That wasn't the case this year. I took out a loan from a loaner company back in 2023, because I needed to pay off the expenses from that year; food, vacations, etc. I had this mindset of 'You only live once, live it while you're young'. That mentality cost me everything. I took out a personal loan thinking I'll pay it all back with the amount they'll give me.  After looking at my bank accounts, I realized I needed to do something about it.   Also, the anxiety of telling your parents and loved ones, confessing to this situation and releasing all the tension and scarcity is painful. Not realizing t...

Ella Clarens is a great friend of mine who we used to work at Nordstrom in 2021.  Oddly enough, we met at different departments, she was working at a different department and I was working as a Holiday Village - creating custom-made Santa bags, selling ornaments, replenishing items, and don't get me started on how many gift wrappings we would need to do by December 24th. It was insane!  I met her because when my department wasn't busy, I usually talk with her about life, work, and her passions.  Picture from: Freddy from Ego Eros Studios Lately, I found out that she is also a musician who released a couple of songs, "ELLANATION", "BIRTHDAY PARTY", and in December 2021, "ICONIC".  Nowadays, she writes her own newsletter which talks about her music, life and her past as a reporter for the Calgary Herald. Also, she spotlights on different people from around Toronto, showcasing talent and interviewing people.  Sign up for her newsletter here:  https://...

First Electric Streetcar in Canada

On May 3rd, I wanted to check out this wonderful (and free!) Museum with a coffee shop nearby, and you would not believe where the first Canadian Electric Streetcar took place in.  Windsor, Ontario. Yes, Windsor, Ontario was the first-ever Electric streetcars that we 'in-use' in Canada. This was back in the mid-1800s, more specifically in 1886.  First Electric Streetcar in Canada Once the city decided to refurbish the vintage streetcars that were used, they coated in fresh paint, updated signs; hanging billboards that were used back in the 60's, and all signs and keep maintenance at bay. They were focusing on making it, not only keeping it looking like a nostalgic piece of work, they tried to innovate the streetcar.  They placed it on a track, with heavy equipment and careful delicacy to ensure the parts are kept in pace, they can reopen it in for all Windsorites (aka city of Windsor citizens) and the rest of the world to open. Me with the streetcar The background behind ...
