Happy bEARTHday to me!

 Happy Earth Day to everyone!! 

Today is probably my favorite holiday. Not only is it celebrating the EARTH and Mother Nature in all her beautiful glory... 

but it is also my Birthday! 

I turn 24 today. A year away from 25, which is half way to 50, which is half way to 100, which is how old I want to live to. Wow, time sure does seem like it's flying by when I put it in those terms.

Peace & love yo.
And a duck face- go ducks! LOL

I woke up this morning and did some yoga after my ritual morning lemon water, 

a short meditation, ate some left over curry for breakfast, showered and now ready to get outside in what is supposed to be a nice day today and hangout with friends before spending the evening with my boyfriend :) 

I didn't really make any special plans for my birthday. 

I don't hold any high expectations around birthdays anymore. The only thing I cared about, was that it be a stress-free day. And so it shall! 

The progressive, sustainable world I want to someday live in. How beautiful!

Celebrate Earth Day with love and gratitude, 

for all that Mother Nature has generously blessed us with! 

I will be. 

Sacred Sisters gathering

Last weekend I joined some lovely ladies from Sacred Sisters for a gathering in the Owen Rose Garden to gather in a sober, vibrant space full of the feminine divine to welcome Spring into our lives. 

We had an opening circle, a meditation guided by my good friend Fiona from Red Rose Wellness who teaches Zumba and beginning bellydance, yoga lead by the local yoga instructor & sweetheart Aricha, a potluck full of health conscious foods, and a closing circle full of love and gratitude. I left feeling uplifted, ready to welcome Spring and all the changes that come along with it. 

And I was able to capture Lyla and her beautiful baby daughter enjoying some mother-daughter time! You can't help but have a smile on your face around such an adorable, well behaved baby.

I'm already looking forward to next months Sacred Sisters gathering :)

Cuteness Overload

I present to you.... drum roll please.... cuteroulette.com

The best way (okay maybe not best, but a fun way) to waste your time. 

My morning has consisted of watching countless videos full of cuteness today! 

I'd say I am up in the late 20s already with the amount I've watched so far.

I have really been wanting a pet lately,
and know I will want one even more when my boyfriend moves to Spain late this Summer. 

Ideally I would want a puppy or kitten. But becauseI'm not sure where I will be in the next few years
 and don't have the time and energy I would want to provide for it and train it, I will just have to wait.
I at least want a fish or little turtle to greet every morning and chat to while eating breakfast,
and before going to bed.  =)

Just look at those puppy eyes!
