2018 Nature Days

Because it's spring, it's time to acknowledge that we need to take good care of our environment for the sake of all forms of life. That's why Earth Day exists. The Pixie Hollow equivalent is Nature Days which is usually held at around Earth Day. There's usually Kit quests about taking care of the environment. But in 2010, there was also a Tinkerbell quest and a beach cleanup in Palm Tree Cove.

Here are some tips to play your part in taking care of the environment:
  •  See if you can participate in a beach cleanup, or you can simply clean the beach by yourself. Even if it's not on the beach, pick up any trash you see\
  • Reuse trash if you can. It could save money too 
  •  If a location is close enough, walk or ride a bike. It's also a fun way to get exercise and go outside, and you're making the air cleaner at the same time
  • Plant a seed in an empty milk or juice carton. You won't just be growing something, you'll be reusing the cartons 
  • Plant your own indoor or outdoor garden. It would be fun to start a gardening journal too. 
  • Only turn on the faucet when necessary and try to take showers instead of baths because showers save water
  • Turn off electronics when you're not using them (I have an activity idea after this list)
  • Try to switch to a florescent lightbulb; they save energy
 A great thing to do during Nature Days is to brainstorm a bunch of ways you can help the environment.

As for the activity; I like to spend weekend nights without lights. What I like to do is use a candlelight jar; which is a jar I put simple heart and star stickers on, spray painted, removed the stickers and put a fake candle in. I think it looks really pretty. You can also use battery powered lights.

Here are some other nature related activities (from Kit quests):
  • Make up a new animal and draw a picture of it
  • Learn about endangered species and why they're endangered. Write what you learned in a journal and maybe you'll find a way to help save those animals
  • Draw a nature themed picture
And here's a badge for helping the environment!

 Fly with you later!

Snowflake's Pixie Postings-March 2019

Before I proceed with this thing, I have an announcement to make! At around the dawn of the new year, I posted that I'd no longer be doing event posts here, only monthly horoscopes. So for the second half of 2017 and all of 2018, I did event related posts here in an inconsistent pattern, but for a few months I posted every week. I decided to stop the event blog posts because I've already done all the event nostalgia stuff and I was kind of bored of doing those things so frequently. But I realized that life needs more excitement and festivity. I've loved holidays as a child, and I still celebrate most of them even as a teenager. But some have faded away from excitement like Valentine's Day. At school I've overheard a few people complaining about how many holidays aren't as fun anymore. This got me thinking on how to bring them back. I started my event blog in the first place to bring back the joy of Pixie Hollow's events, because they used to be the highl...

Snowflake's Postings-April 2018

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!!!!! Haha! Belated April Fools (I meant to post this yesterday)! Okay...the reason why I did this "joke" is because April 1st was originally the new year. In fact, April Fools Day on the mainland originated when the new year changed when the calendar changed, but some still thought April 1st was the new year, because there was no social media back then. Any way, let's begin the April post. April Events If you didn't already guess by the banner, April is Pink Moon month this year. The pink moon rises in Pixie Hollow every year sometime between February and April. This moon is a representation of spring and hope. While it is a myth that fairies grant wishes, they've still brought hope and belief to children since ancient times, and they used to use pink pixie dust to help inspire children.Pink pixie dust is created from the pink moonstone (similar to the blue one, but a bit less rare and doesn't require a scepter). Even th...
