Taking some time

February 21, 2013

Two things I’ve really been enjoying this week. Taking some time for myself and cooking.

Yesterday I left the house with the intention of signing up for a few trial yoga classes. The studio was closed but right next store was a tea shop. I ordered a pot of tea and spent the next hour and a half reading magazines and drinking tea. It was lovely.

After my relaxing time at the tea shop I came home and started on dinner. The main course was a concoction of vegetables we had in our fridge with tempeh and garlic chips to top it off served or quinoa. The side was roasted sweet potatoes with maple syrup and toasted sesame seeds. I also threw together a salad with oranges, apples, pecans and a dressing of balsamic vinegar, olive oil, fresh squeezed orange juice, salt & pepper, and a dash of hot sauce.

The rest of our friend visit

February 18, 2013

Last week I shared a little about our visit from friends. Today I’m wrapping it up. We finished up our trip by doing a bit of wine tasting, showing them one of our favorite farmer’s market (had brunch), and took them to the beach at Discovery park.

Taking some time to just enjoy

February 5, 2013

I mentioned the other day that my shop celebrated it’s 2nd anniversary. I planned a little happy hour with Walker and 2 of my friends here in the city. We went to Poco Wine and Spirits (a first for all 4 of us). We shared a bottle of wine and just relaxed while laughing and enjoying each others company. It was very low key and intimate gatherings are my favorite so it was perfect. Here’s to making sure year 3 is even better yet!

(Also sorry about these photos-we were having a lighting issue-so it goes)
