Hellloooooo, LUVVIES!!!!    I've missed you.....have you missed me??    Lots going on this lovely month of May....as I stated in the last blog post, lots of transitions for me right now.   And a couple of exciting, "out of my comfort zone" things this month....my friend Kimberley Plumley got me a spot on "The Show" on Shaw cable doing a little stint on cleaning!   It was so much fun...of course I was a little nervous, but it was so cool to see a show being produced from "behind the scenes".     And I did something WAY out of my comfort zone, which I need more of.   I'll post the link so you can watch it when it's ready...xoxoxo
I'm feeling SO much lighter (mentally AND physically) since I decided to simplify my life a little.....I'm feeling so much more relaxed, and with that comes a greater focus!   YAY!!!
Today was an AWESOME, SUNNY, HOT day.....wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!   The very favourite kind of day for a nomadic beegan princess....xoxo
I was going through my storage last night, and found some cacao butter I hadn't used yet, so I decided to play with it today.    The recipe I came up with was "Sunny Day Chocolate"....after all, people make "Sun Tea", right????   Why not "sun chocolate"????
WHEEEE!!    Here are the delish results....

Good morning, luvvies!!   xoxoxo       I'm on the move again....as a house-sitter, I do that a lot!     Today I am doing the final "move-out" from my friend Laura's place and off to a new adventure!!     I've realized this time that I really need to "simplify"......I had SO MUCH STUFF with me at Laura's!    Understandable, as I had a couple of trade shows I took part in while staying at her place.    I was selling cleaning products AND some live food goodies in the form of "buckwheat toast" and various scrumptious flavours of granola......I love creating in the kitchen!!   Both food AND goodies to clean with....xoxoxo
I've decided it's time to really shift gears and simplify for awhile though....I'm neglecting one of my most important goals, and that's to get MYSELF in the best shape EVER!   For those who don't know, I'm studying to be a personal trainer.    I decided my life was really missing a key element, and that is a regular fitness regime.   Also, one of my goals is to help people achieve optimum health and becoming a trainer would tie it all together quite nicely!   I am active every day and cleaning is a workout in itself, but I really want to take it to the next level.     I have been "raw" for five years now, and I'm curious to see what I can achieve physically.   In my 20's I was super fit....lots of weights and working out, but my diet was AWFUL!!   I was vegetarian, but a "junk food" vegetarian!    Breakfast for me would be Jolt cola (remember Jolt cola??  It's a wuss compared to some of the "energy drinks" being marketed now!  Poison...), a big slap of "cheese toast" with butter or a butter-like product and......a cigarette!!!   Yes luvvies, I used to smoke.   Not for a long time, but probably about 6 years.   ICK!   I figure if I can be as fit as I was with such an awful diet I should see AMAZING results combining optimum diet and exercise!   Excited to see where it takes me.   My goal in my fifth year of being "raw" is to have it be my fittest, healthiest yet...WOOOOT!
