Have A Great Weekend



Happy Friday, and first day of summer. Today is the first day of summer, which is perfect because the weekend is just around the corner. During summer nobody wants to be in the kitchen for more than 20 minutes especially if you have a small kitchen. I decided to come up with a simple recipe that would take less than five minutes. This recipes is simple, and not expansive at all. Even better, I made a little video. 

Among the things i love about summer is gardening, however this year I don't have my balcony to garden on because currently it's being worked on. However, I do have a great big window in my kitchen, which is where I am going to garden this year. So far, I have only one plant so far, tomato. Over the weekend I might go morning gardening shopping for planets. 


INGREDIENTS 
  • 1 avocado 
  • 1/2 French lentil

So its 2014!!!

It feels like its been forever since I blogged ... oh wait it's 2014 and the last time I blogged was 2013 so it has been forever since I blogged. Happy New Year!! I feel like the boy who cried wolf when it comes to keeping my promises about blogging, so given my poor inability to keep my promises regarding blogging I am not going to give you guys the old speech of “I promise I am going to blog more this year” however, I am going to TRY to write more.  So, lets address the big elephant in the room, yes I am talking about New Years Resolution! if I said I did not have one I’d be lying. I am no different from anyone else out there so, like all the ordinary people who took it upon themselves to set new goals for 2014 so did I. Given that it is 2014, this is my 2014 manifesto: 1. Do what you love, and do it often 2. Be Honest with yourself 3. Let yourself be Vulnerable 4. See as much as you can of what’s right in front of you 5. Treat yourself like you want other

Sunday Challenge Pose: Grasshopper

Image
Yesterday I had the most amazing practice or it felts like the most amazing practice in a while; I've recently decided to do all of my practice at home because I am currently unemployed and cannot effort going to a studio every day, so instead I have decided to take control of my practice by doing an hour of yoga everyday starting with simple asana flow sequences than doing challenging poses. Yesterday I decided to do a semi-challenging pose that I haven't done  in a while and I was surprise by how easy the pose has become, all it took was just practice. This is one of those really challenging but great arm balance that requires using pretty much every aspect of you body which I absolutely love because you are not just working on your legs, but also you arms, hips, upper body etc.. It require both open hips, deep twisting and upper body strength, which is something I absolutely lack. The key to this pose is finding a place where you are comfortable and build from there; b
