Hello luvvies!!    Late night for me again, but I'm having fun creating goodies for the All Sprung Out event in Nanoose Place tomorrow!     Here are pics from tonight's endeavours......I was mostly packaging tonight and getting things organized.

On the left is an assortment of yummy live food items; buckwheat "toast" and an assortment of granolas. ( Cashew cacao, buckwheat/coconut and keylime/coconut/macadamia).    On the right is packages of my lovely tub 'n' tile "icing"......a smooth, creamy concoction that cleans tubs, tiles, sinks and counter-tops beautifully and without scratching!  :)
Off to bed I go.....tomorrow's going to be FUN!!!!
Sweet, cinnamon-scented dreams to you...

Hi all!     It's going to be a bit of a late night for me.....I went into Nanaimo and picked up a few things to perk up my table a bit and have a few more things to get, but I'm so looking forward to Saturday!!!    Tonight I will be packaging up granola and buckwheat "toast" and playing with signage.....my table is quite little, so I won't have a lot of room for signs.   Here are a couple more pics of the goodies you can expect to see at my table!!   xoxo

On the left is a nice pile of the buckwheat "toast".....I love it SO MUCH!   It's so satisfying and yummy....I don't think I'll ever get tired of it.     The picture on the right has bottles of lovely, yummy smelling furniture polish.....it's safe for treated leather too!    I've used it to spot clean leather sofas and clothing, and it works like a charm.   Completely safe and non-toxic to use, unlike commercial furniture polish, which is one of the most toxic "cleaners" you can have in your home!!!    
Sweet dreams luvvies......off to work I go!

Here are some pics of some of the goodies I'm taking with me this Saturday...

The picture on the left is a batch of yummy coconut/walnut granola.....so crunchy and SWEET!   On the right is two jars of peppermint "Tub 'n' Tile Icing".....a yummy treat for your tub or sink!   It works like a charm, and replaces icky chemical abrasive scrubs you might normally use.     I will post more pics as the week goes on......Good night for now, sweet ones!   xoxoxo

Hello, luvvies!!!!!!!   I don't know about you, but I'm certainly ready for summer time and HEAT!!    My body is craving heat.   I'm finding that the increase in exercise is helping....gets the circulation going and I feel SO good after!   It feels great to feel like I actually WORKED for the yummy goodies I whipped up in the kitchen.   The weather's been a little nutzo lately...I had to chip my way into my car this morning, then we saw a mixture of snow/rain/sun/snow for the duration of the day.  I decided I really needed to get out on the trails today; just as I was about to grab my toque and head out, it started to snow again!   I couldn't find my brown "Island beanie" toque I like to run in, so I wore my special white one with the black sparkly butterfly.    Lo and behold, the sun came out and STAYED out for the duration of my 10k!    YIPPEEEE!!!    I've decided that it is a magic hat......xoxoxo

Okay, confession time......I am missing a key element in my healthy life-style, and that is regular FITNESS!   I've found it really difficult what with all the moving around and all to stay on track with my workouts.   Sooooooo......I decided today's the day to get serious and figure out a work-out routine for myself.    I'm studying to be a personal trainer, and I really want to "walk the talk!"    Plus, I just FEEL better when I work out!    After all, the human body is designed to MOVE!      If you really want overall health and wellness, you have to include movement in there somewhere.....
I started off the morning with a 10k walk/run....I'm living back near my favourite trail, and it was such a joy to get outside and close to nature again!    The weather hasn't been the greatest and it was sooooooooooo tempting to stay all snuggled up in my warm cozy bed, but I was so thankful that I got out this morning.   I did a LOT more walking than running, but I know how important it is not to over-do it and risk injury.   My legs have to get used to running again.....I know it won't take long though!    I find that my body heals and adjusts REALLY quickly.....I attribute  that to my healthy diet, of course!   :D
I went into the gym this evening and did a nice easy pace on the stair-climber and then did an upper body workout for about an hour.....no huge weight, just getting my brain used to that kind of workout again.    It felt so good....I was like a kid at the playground!   Now that everyone out there in "blog reading world" knows I'm working on a fitness routine, there are NO excuses!    I will keep you posted as to the kinds of workouts I'm doing along with the "foodie" things......
Thanks for reading, luvvies!!!!!      Maybe we can all inspire one another.....
