New Kingdom | Poetry (video)

Video, Poem originally posted March 31, 2020 - New Kingdom 

The subject of the heavens is expressed through different mediums, and I am not exempt from this subject of expression. I am to acknowledge where my gift comes from. 

This poem was written during the pandemic when everyone was doing their part to keep the collective entertained online. For many of us, connecting online was all we had. 

Several months after I shared this poem I was mocked for being "a good person". In that moment, I was completely taken back. I came to the realization that I am all that I have. I am and will forever be the closest "person" that I will ever have a relationship with.

Roasted Red Pepper Hummus | Lifestyle (video)

I don't think I will ever buy premade hummus from the grocery store again. Now that I have the key ingredients at home, it just wouldn't make sense. The amount of hummus you receive in those thin round containers is laughable. You run out of hummus and still have a lot of pita chips left. The amount of hummus that one can of chickpeas makes is like buying two containers of hummus from the grocery store. 

The recipe is simple. You measure all the ingredients and blend them until smooth. I'm not sure it's assumed in the video that I drained and rinsed the chickpeas. I didn't just dump the can of chickpeas in the blending container. It's not shown in the video, so I thought I would add that detail to my blog. I received more views than I anticipated from this video.

I hope you enjoy your hummus.

Blue Moon Almond Smoothie | Lifestyle (video)

Welcome,

The idea for this smoothie came along after trying to figure out how to use the unnecessary amount of rolled oats that I have. I don't enjoy eating rolled oats in the morning, and I'm over trying. I've decided to put it in a smoothie to get the benefits of eating oats. I admit this smoothie is a bit what I like to call on the "rich" side. It's probably one that you would make once in a blue moon. The ingredients can be adjusted, so you're not feeling like you need a nap after drinking it. I thought about adding nutmeg. I could do without the banana and adjust the almond butter to one tablespoon. However, this recipe is a base for many different smoothies. I have to experiment more. I hope you enjoy your smoothie.

*update, I'm now using Torani vanilla syrup instead of vanilla extract.

Thanks, 

Ms. Casila

Lemon Ginger Tea | Lifestyle (video)

Welcome,

This blog wasn't originally a poetry blog.  You won't be seeing any haircare product reviews or tutorials on this blog, but I want to add other relevant content to expand my audience.  Think of everything "cozy" that you might need as a writer or reader.  I have a few ideas for new content that I could incorporate to spice things up.  I hope you enjoy your cup of tea. 

Thank you,

Ms. Casila
