Where's Edgar?

This weekend my friend and I decided to try ear candles. You take a special candle, it is hollow and made out of beeswax. You stick it through a paper plate and into your ear. You then proceed to light the candle and this causes a suction of your ear.

The ear wax heats up, melts and gets sucked up into the hollow candle. The walls of the candle have a special powder like substance that mixes with the wax to help keep it in place and harden it again. You cut off the ashes of the candle as it melts. At the end you have a wad of wax in the hollow of the candle and you can hear so much better.

There is a lot of controversy around candling. Health Canada says DO NOT DO IT! However, my friend and I have heard otherwise. We found it nice and beneficial. We are going to candle our ears a few more times this year. Hope you enjoyed the pictures and I will continue to keep you posted. Have a good day!

Hello Everyone!
On Wednesday I was told that the parcel containing Manwell had arrived. Sarah, Edgar and I were so excited.

Sarah opened it up and revealed Manwell. He is so cute and small. His wings even flap!


I think that he is going to have wonderful adventures. We are going to start a fad with traveling buddies :D
