happy friday..

Snow is taking a long time to melt but I'm starting to see spring popping up a little..and I want to talk about sustainability now that things are going to get bad..I recommend shopping local at the grocers..I love the salad I got which comes from a farm in Guelph Ontario..the price is great & the quality is amazing!!!!!! Also got other things proudly Canadian made..can't wait for the outdoor markets! And in order to eat healthier, we have been avoiding products that are ultra-processed! products that have a long shelf-life like ice-cream, cookies, deli stuff, hot dogs etc..these are not good for you coz they have emulsifiers..read ingredients, if its too much & you never heard of most of them, its bad for you..also staying away from sugary stuff like carbonated drinks & switched to sparkling water instead..read up on ultra-processed foods..its shocking how much it lowers life expectancy etc..

furball..

Even cats hibernate in winter..Marley is so cute curled up in a tight ball!

snow daze & matcha..

I hope this is the last snow & spring is on its way! Even in the huge snow piles, we went out in nature but the wind was too strong & frigid cold, so didn't stay long outside..made my own matcha mango latte (you can get matcha powder at the Bulk Bin but I only took small quantity coz its so pricey!)..its delicious! & boosts energy levels..my new rings - blue stone (Shiny Company), boho moon (ebay), & daisy (thrifted)..and drinking lots of lime water (lime is good for breaking down kidney stones & also good for the heart!

masala idli cafe..

Ate these last night..authentic South India moist rice cakes with split matpe beans, chick peas, curry leaves & coconut..this wasn't that spicy at all which I really liked! Definitely will buy this again! So delicious!! I love coconut anything.

solar plexus..

This is located in the center of the abdomen that controls self-expression and confidence, and how you relate to yourself..it is your strength, and your stamina in life..when I'm doing modern dance, we always do sun salutations which is a great way to balance the 3rd chakra & create vital energy throughout your body..it just makes you feel really good about yourself!

health break foods..

Got a few healthy snacks..Tasty Snax purple sweet potato & rice chips in sea salt & black pepper (this is plant-based - anything plant-based is good for the hair, gluten-free & oven baked) - very spicy but tastes good! (from Bulk Bin)..Oasis berry pomegrenate elderberry juice (great for the heart) - not too sweet & it tastes good! Harvest Snaps red lentil crunchy loops sour cream & onion - love this one a lot!! not a heavy onion-y taste (from Bulk Bin)..Madmix sorghum millet puffs cream n onion chips - totally my most favorite snack of the bunch!! It's got a hint of curry-like taste which is always a winner! & its packed with whole grains (from Indian grocers)..Soan Cakes - super sweet but tasty (from Indian grocers)..Coconut Burfi - wow this was the best!! Not overly sweet, but super moist & coconut-y with almond bits (from Indian grocers) & Hamam soap (they use this a lot in Morocco - made with olive oil) - have not tried this yet. The mandala sticker is from Thrive Mind Body & Soul.

butterfly place road trip..

The roads were finally clear of snow & ice & we were able to go on a road trip to the Butterfly Conservatory place..it felt like it was summer inside..what a contrast of environments..it was so much fun in the shop! Also did a snow hike..wow, so much snow has fallen again..its been like that throughout the whole winter..yuck!! I was able to find a patch of grass! And some groovy rocks! I got this big beautiful pink monarch butterfly magnet for my room.
