A Message to Hannah Hart

Dear Hannah Hart,

Hi! I am Morgan, a fifteen year old girl who loves your videos! I have been watching your youtube videos for a good two years now and all I can say is you are the most punderful person I have ever seen (see what I did there). I have decided to write to you because you own a humor filled youtube channel that I love. I look up to you a lot. Since you probably haven't read my blog let me fill you in. I'm writing this blog for my English class. This blog, as confuse as it may be, is about sharing my life. I like to share my experiences and hopefully humor. I feel as though this is what your youtube channel is about. You share your drunk and sober wisdom with the world in a humorous way.

Hannah being an amazing person.

Now I know some people may say that it is inappropriate for someone my age to be watching videos where someone gets drunk and then tries to cook. But you do a lot more than that. I cannot watch one of your videos without laughing out loud. You make the best puns and give the best advice. And recently you started doing this thing called Have A Hart Day. You volunteer with other people and have been giving your time to help so many people. Not only have you been physically going out and helping people. You have also helped so many people with your advice. Your videos inspire and help so many people. You spread the message of how important it is to be yourself. You let people know that they are good enough and that they don't need to change.

Along with doing all these amazing things you also have a huge presence in the LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bi, Transgender, and Queer)  community. So many people of all ages look up to you for this I being one of them. I am not personally gay or bi, but my sister is. It means a lot to me that there are people out there like you who spread the message of gay being okay. You just being out and open about your sexuality helps so many people and gives hope to people out there.

Hannah Hart you are such an amazing person who has accomplished so much. You have your own book, you have starred in a movie, and you have met the president. These big feats cannot measure how amazing you are because there is so much more. I look up to you in so many ways and am so happy I found you on youtube. Never stop making videos or spreading your humor. And I hope you now that I and many others considered you the QUEEN OF PUNS! If you are reading this thank you so much! I hope that my blog would make you laugh like you make me laugh. I tried to be just as punny as you are. Until next time!

Afternoon Tea With Grandma

Hey there people of earth! (a.k.a who ever is reading this) It has not been too long since my last post but I would like to think a lot has happened. First of all, I added a new widget to my blog. It is just a list of 5 things; I plan on changing it once a month or when ever I get bored with the current one. This month’s is 5 Reasons To Be Happy! I just thought this would be something amusing for you to look at! 

Lake Louise Banff, Canada
Ok good, now that we are all clear let’s talk about something else that has happened recently. My grandma is in town! (YAY!!!) My grandma lives in Arizona so I only see her once or twice a year. I have been super lucky to be able to have seen her multiple times this year! I love her and try to make the most of my time with her. Hint: She is probably going to be reading this so . . . HI GRANDMA!!! Anyway the reason my grandmother is town is that my parents decided to go to Italy without me or my sister! Like what the heck man. So while they are away in the land of purses and amazing food my grandmother is watching my sister and I. Since my grandma is here we try to make the most of it by going to high tea. Even if this was only my second time I loved it. The first time I went to tea was in Canada this summer at Lake Louise with family! (picture for reference) The Lake and tea was gorgeous there and super fancy! (Warning, I love taking photos of food and fancy things so, there will be a lot of pictures.)

Pretty table setting
So at one pm on October 4, 2015, we went to the Grand America for High Tea! It was incredible! Anyway we arrived at the hotel, and we sat down at a cute little table with a couch and chairs. The table was set beautifully. The first thing the waiter did was put a little jasmine flower bulb in a glass with hot water. She then explained that it would rise and then bloom.  This was one of the coolest/prettiest things I have ever seen. The flower was incredibly cool to watch bloom.

Then we order our teas. I ordered the Organic Spiced Berry tea. This was amazing and one of the best teas I have ever had. Once we order our teas we started with the first dish.  Strawberries and creme chantilly, which basically is a fancy way of saying thick whipped with strawberries. This was truly simple and I do have to say not tremendously fancy. This does not make it bad because come on who doesn’t love thick whipped cream with berries? We were off to a great start.

Then we got our second course. (I’m not quite sure if I should call it a course or not. Oh well!) The second course was mini sandwiches and scones. I forgot to take a picture of this because I was just to excited to eat them. There were five different types of mini sandwiches. A cucumber with cream cheese and an olive slice on a piece of bread. A small piece of bread with egg salad garnished with a mini slice of tomato and chives. Then there was a bun with steak and other yummy stuff (sorry I forgot what was on it, all I know was that it was really good.) There was also a mini ham sandwich with swiss cheese. And finally, a mini bread loaf stuffed with lobster salad. They were all extremely good.


Yummy sweet treats
After we all ate the mini sandwiches we ate our scones. These are my absolute favorite. When you have scones at high tea they typically bring you three different spreads. A vanilla clotted cream, strawberry jam and lemon cream. All I can say about the scones is that I would perfectly fine if I showed up to tea and they only gave me scones. They are just that good. After that they brought out the desserts. Yes, the main food at tea from my past experience is that it's all sweets. Now I am not complaining, but it can be a lot. And when they brought out the dessert tray I almost died. I mean look at this! On the top you have three different homemade gum. Then on the middle plate there were citrus madeleines and strawberry jam filled cookies. The cookies were one of my favorites. Finally, on the bottom plate was French vanilla macaroons, a vanilla tart with raspberries, and a white chocolate mouse in a chocolate shell. It was all so amazing! I didn’t even get a chance to try them all! Everything was all to good, so I decided to save the mouse for later!

In the end, Afternoon Tea will always be one of my favorite things to do! If you live in Utah I would definitely recommend going to the Grand American. Click here for more info Afternoon Tea at the Grand American. I really hope that this can become a tradition that I have with my grandma and that I can do with my kids when I am older. It is a fun way to get dressed up and eat awesome food while feeling super fancy. I hope I can do this again and encourage everyone to try and go! Until next time!
