It’s been strange (and also lovely) getting back to “normal” post-show and having some time to just be. My life is usually pretty hectic, but it’s nice to be able to go and come as I please and spend time with the people who are important in my life.
On Friday I grabbed some yummy lunch at Camros Organic Eatery
before heading to the Total Health Show to volunteer at the IHN booth. 
It seems like only yesterday that I was at that show a year ago, dreaming of attending the school. It’s amazing how much difference a year can make as I spent a few hours singing the praises of the school to prospective attendees as a student!
It was great to chat with other students as well as Jennifer, who is an IHN graduate, has her own practice and is also the school’s Trade Show Manager. Very inspiring!
I bounced around the show checking out the other vendors and picked up a few goodies including some Taste of Nature samples
raw chocolate sweetened with alternative sweeteners (like dates and agave)
and some goodies from Living Libations
I opted for the Lavish Abundance spray and Healthy Gum Drops. So far I am in love with both of these products. It was especially interested to talk with the sales gal as I had just taken a workshop in essential oils, so I had a new appreciate for their super high quality products. So happy to add to my collection!!
I then headed up to Fresh to grab some dinner with my sweet friend Ashle
I love this girl! We became friends during musical theatre school, but our friendship really blossomed once we had both graduated. We’ve both been incredibly busy as of late, so it was wonderful to close down the restaurant chatting about everything under the sun whilst munching of delicious food! 
I opted for the macro greens bowl over brown rice with some vegan caesar dressing, which I really enjoyed.
On Saturday I had planned to go to a cottage with my roommates, but thanks to the rain we opted to stay home. I ran some errands with Matthew and returned to find Drew cooking and an impromptu feast was born!
On the menu: 2 curries (1 Ashley friendly), spinach salad with lots of veggies and some tempeh, roasted red peppers with JD’s secret 7 herb blend, roasted purple yams with mango chutney and rice. 
Not bad for something that was totally unplanned and thrown together. It was delightful! So much delicious food with really great company and conversation. I have to say that I’m loving my apartment and my roommates. I feel really comfortable and living with 3 guys is a lot of fun (especially good considering it’s been more than 12 years since I’ve lived with girls!) The resident kitties Judas 
and Jesus
are pretty hilarious as well. I can’t wait to bring Iris home early this week so I will feel completely settled and ready to move forward. Much discussion was had about feasts to come in the future, which will definitely be posted on the blog. Stay tuned!
How was your weekend? Did the rain put a damper on your plans?

I missed you by a day! J and I hit it up on Saturday and I know Jennifer very well, took my 'post school' classes with her. And you know I love the living lib. peeps. They have the sweetest stuff and Elana is delightful!
The rain didn't daamper my weekend as I slept through the rain Sunday :-) Down to a sprinkle when I was ready to run so a good weekend. I agree it's weird for awhile when you've been doing something for a long time and then all of a sudden you aren't!
Around here the rain moved through during the week. I worked a bake sale on Saturday and went to my grandmother's 81st b-day on Sunday. Good times had by all. PS- LOVE the kitty names! hahahahaha
