The Minimalist Yogi

Hiya beautiful people, hope you've all had an amazing week full of adventures and great memories!!!  If you recall from my last post, I said I was spending the weekend trying different recipes which is what I did, and I must say I am very PROUD of the end results.

Hiya everyone, happy weekend! unlike everyone, my plan for the weekend is to cook, I came across this great recipe for lentil and cannot wait to try it, i'll keep you guys posted.  With that done, lets talk about FOOD! so a lot of you may not know this, but I had the pleasure of living in Egypt when I was little.

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...
