The Minimalist Yogi

          H i everyone, hope you've all had a beautiful weekend full of memorable moments and people. Over the weekend I've decided to blog about other things beside food and food on this blog. By other things that means DIY projects, health advices, environment, and just things that will make you live a healthy and beautiful life. With that said, lets talk DIY projects. I've recently developed this obsession with thrive shopping which I am proud to admit becuase I used to be one of those people who just shopped at a high end stores and spent $50-60 for a shirt or sweater. But then I realize that what I buy at an expansive store for $50 I can get at a second, or thrive store for $6 dollars. You'd be amazed at what threat, and needle can do. So over the weekend I had the opportunity to go to this vintage store (second hand store) and got this really cool pants, but as always it was too big and looked like PJs. So instead of  not buying pants, I've decided ...

Hola, hope everyone is having a great start to the week. So today started pretty bad, but ended with a bright rainbow. First my alarm clock decided not to go off, of all the days, when I have an interview, to top the morning it was raining outside. However despite rocky start, lunch was amazing. I had spinach and tofu filled samosa, sided with Vegan lemon bar which I must say is AMAZING!!!. Its my first time trying it and I must say I LOVE IT!!!!! I think this will be my next recipe to try, I am not big on baking despite working in a bakery department because of my previous experience with baking. But, I am willing to take the challenge and try it. To end the end, when after finishing work, I came out to a BEAUTIFUL RAINBOW! I am not sure when I'll try baking the Vegan Lemon bars so, in the main time, if you guys want try the recipe here's a link,  Savvy Vegetarian  or you go visit your local Herb & Spice Shop to buy

Nothing says summer like rain. Just When I am about to enjoy my sunny day of DIY and laundry mother earth decided to cry, and now all I can do is nothing. But it gives me the chance to blog so its win win situation. So lately I've been really into gardening which I don't know why. However, I have a theory that the knowledge of planting something and then seeing it grow over the course of time makes me feel proud of myself because I feel like I've achieved something.  So far I have three plants, which are still alive which I am so proud of. The first is Cinnamon Basil, Green bell pepper, and unknown. As always I am being green here, so instead of using a gardening pots, I decided to use Starbucks and Bridgehead cups which looks pretty cool. Also Today had the chance to do my laundry, and unlike the majority of the population I don't use machine to dry my clothes, but I hang dry it. Hang drying your clothes has great benefits, like you can save money, reduce CO...
