detox

Always feel better after hot yoga - not sure if it's because of serene quiet as i lay in shavasana in the warmth or the fact that I sweat buckets - there's something satisfying about getting completely drenched from a workout, heat assisted or not, and all you can focus on is how it feels in the here and now.

I had almost forgotten how much I like it - it seems a waste to spend time in a heated room when it was gorgeous out there but then the gloomy rain has driven me back.  I'm a little rusty and had trouble with holding some poses, but hopefully as i get back into it in the colder months I will regain some ground.

And my fav instructor Matthew always have the best soundtrack - i love that it's not the kind of music that pops into mind when one thinks of yoga (instrumental sitar and all) but just a really relaxing mix of songs I've heard here and there.  I hope he will be sharing his playlist.

I wonder why it's so difficult to be honest to myself about myself... and why am I not the only one who has to pay the price for all the times I've buried my head in the sand...

Let's go to the ex!



I finally got to check out the CNE and literally spent the whole day there with awesome friends :)

Learned a couple things at the ex:

Always specify which entrance to meet at because we passed by at least 3 before we found our friends

Always bring cash so you can bargain - and yes - always bargain!  We scored a gorgeous statement ring for less than half of its listed price

Always leave the heavy purchases at the end so you don't have to walk around with it for the whole day

Always buy less food than you think you can stomach - because there's always something else that looks equally yummy than what you've gotten




And ramen at santouka was the perfect way to end the night

Irresistible find at WalMart



Is it weird that I hadn't been able to pay with this pack of brightly colored sharpies once I laid eye on it??  I don't know what I'm gonna do with all these markers yet but I'm sure to have fun experimenting!
