Hippie Fashion For the Summer

Middle Earth

My new plant, Saffron, she is a schefflera and she loves her new home in a groovy watering can, vegan comfort food - baked bread in the oven with vegan cheese, red peppers, and tomatoes, a long bohemian keychain I made with beads and straw..looks way cool!! A pretty giraffe I thrifted, "Exploring Space" painting I did a while ago, and two hippie pics. My computer died last week and its taking me this long to learn the laptop..its not been easy, I just figured out how to upload photos today. Ummm..yeah, I'm also relearning to play Bohemian Rhapsody on the piano since loving the film so much and reconnecting with Queen's awesome music! It seems like we are permanently stuck in winter..too much snow storms lately and there is a family of deer living around us, love that we are so close to nature, like middle earth.

Kundalini Yoga Meditation

I still heart dreadlocks even though I don't have them anymore..Nibbana..words of wisdom..some of my fav. photos..nature, zen, my fav. song ever is Sweet Lullaby by Deep Forest (I did modern dance to this piece a while back on stage wearing green top and earthy coloured yoga pants with leaves pinned to the legs and using Limon technique..I really miss my modern class a lot!!).
Kundalini Yoga: sit comfortable with a straight back, close eyes looking between the eyebrows is your third eye, inhale deeply through the nose, hold breath and silently repeat the following mantra 3 times:
HEALTHY AM I..HAPPY AM I..HOLY AM I..
As you exhale, repeat mantra out loud 3 times..to end, inhale deeply, relax breath and sit silently for a minute or two, then inhale deeply and stretch up to the sky, fingers interlaced and pull the spine up..then relax..this is amazing when you have too much stress in your life, it really helps you feel better and more motivated..

Summer Daydreaming

I really can hardly wait for the summer to come!!! I'm at the point where I'm having the winter blues, so I usually put on images that make me happy instead of staring at snow and ice all day..yuck!!

Happy Boo Valentine!

Spirit of the Earth

Went thrifting on Monday and got 2 retro wrapping paper..the one on the left looks very 70s,found this amazing picture of an African lady dancing..very bohemian! and I got this groovy sun/moon yin-yang gift bag to hold a special b-day present (I actually found an amazing shell with wooden bottom to hold my stones/crystals in). And these bamboo tealight holders with plant print that actually comes out on the wall..soo groovy!!

The Ice Storm

This happened on Wednesday..my classes were cancelled, everything basically was closed down, we had no food so we were luckily able to order veggie pizza. Stayed inside all day..it wasn't exactly fun so I decluttered the kitchen..will post on that another time.

Boho Bedroom + Sticky Fingers

My new bedskirt..I finally got one!! Yeah i found the white lace bedskirt thrifting..yay!! Now my bed looks complete and I put on my Indian duvet cover and I love all the colours..very summery! I can't wait for spring to get here..I miss my dreadlocks..its been 7 months now without them.  I only kept one dreadlock.  These guys sitting on the grass playing authentic music makes my life even groovier!

Bohemian Shelfies

When the weather is really bad outside and I can't get out, the next thing to do is declutter my shelves and thats what I've done over the weekend..I couldn't get to class today coz of the snowstorm..grrrrr!! Really long crappy winter again!! Anyways, I'm really happy with the results of my room! I got a new vase on Friday from Pier1, it was on sale so I was happy to find it! Its light pink/turquoise ceramic and I think the grass stems look really amazing in it. And I've been listening to soothing sounds of the jungle while I do my zen yoga..it really helps to relax.

Vegetarian Comfort Food

This is my fav. food I've been eating lately..I'm becoming more and more health conscious and been searching for sites on better living and I think that is my main goal for the new year, it's to become aware of what I put into my body..no more chips and junk food!! Please check out Tiana's page..life of goodness
What I eat is spinach salad with vegan cheese, a scrambled egg with pepper, and pepper cashews, they are so good!! And also cashews lower cholesterol, so there are health benefits there. I did put salad dressing on it which is also vegan.

Closet Decluttering

I spent hours yesterday decluttering everything..I found a lot of things to give to charity. my scarf collection and belts..the finished closet filled with hippie/boho clothes..I'm happy with the result! Like I mentioned a while back, I'm going back to what I love the most..being who I am..a flower nature animal lovin' hippie with Indian and tribal prints etc..
