The Minimalist Yogi

Not long time ago I was smitten and enamoured with drinking coffee daily, like many out there I wake up every morning on my way to work or school a got to my favourite cafe and order my medium dark roast coffee. Later in the evening heading home I'll stop by the coffee place and buy another medium-medium. But then after a while I realize that the coffee did not have the same affect that it used; instead of being wake a and less stressed I found my body being tired and my stressed level which is high  normal tripled. This is when I realized my body was trying to tell me to stop drinking coffee, so four months ago I decided to go cold turkey and just stop drinking coffee, and I feel great. So now instead buying coffee on by way to work or class I buy my medium lemongrass.

          I generally tend to hate special days like mother's day or father's day because I think we shouldn't have to wait for a specific day to tell us to treat our mother's like a queen because I think it should be something that we should strive for everyday. Regardless, I am willing to accept this day, so Happy Mother's Day!!! Mother’s day is the day to thank your mother for everything, and regardless of your relationship it is important to put all differences aside, and thank her because if it was not for her you would not be here today.

Quality Time: if you don’t get a lot of time to spend some quality time with your mother, I would recommend spending some time your mother. Go for brunch, lunch, tea, shopping or tea. 3....

S o I haven't had a long bath in years, and today I had the pleasure of taking a 5 minutes bath and I feel AMAZING. I know taking a bath is not the best way of taking a shower because of the amount of water used. But Every now and then a long bath is a good idea because it contains a lot of benefits. A long bath goes a long way because it r elax muscles, calm your mind, detoxify, moisturize, stimulate circulation and clear your lymph system. A long with a great bath I had the pleasure of having an organic green ginger tea. Green tea is one thing drink beside water that every person should drink once a day before starting their day. Green tea has great health benefits, it can reduce the risk of cancer, ease the pain of rheumatoid arthritis, boosts immune system, and helps to fend off infections, and among others.  Happy Hump Day

One of my favourite places is Bridghead, I am bridgehead girl and will always be. Bridgehead is a fair trade coffeehouse based in Ottawa, they carry organic teas, and goods. Also they have vegetarian and vegan food. Some of my favourite things about bridgehead is the music, they have a great playlist which is composed of indie, alternative to jazz. Also, the food, the food there is amazing, every time I go there they always have something new and delicious.Such as the following, red quinoa with red cherry tomato, raisin oatmeal cookies, carrot cake, vegan granola brand and vegetarian pate, these are some of my favourite things to eat there. Drinks wise, one of my favourite drink is chai latte, their chai latte is delicious compared to Starbucks. Also green tea with lemon infusion and Odwalla drinks, my favourite is superfood. Last thing that I love about Bridgehead is the atmosphere, very warm and welcoming.
