A Delicious Green Day.

I'm feeling in a photo mood. I don't feel like typing away and photos are far more interesting then anything I have to say anyway, so I'll just leave you with some foodie delights. Sorry everything is veggie.

What do I do when I accidentally order an insane (what was I thinking!) amount of organic fresh produce? Pull out the juicer and throw together a fabulous juice!

1 Carrot, 2 stocks of Celery, 1 huge Kale leaf, 1 green Apple, and an Orange (didn't use in the end)


Ohayo Juice is created! Absolutely pure goodness! You can't go wrong with fruit and veggie mix. 
Perhaps I'm delusional, but these sort of juices make me feel pretty on the inside and out :)


More greens throughout the day. 

Carrot Pate Spinach Salad - Roughly process a carrot, 1/4 avocado, tsp balsamic vinegar, tsp of olive oil, and dried oregano. I was pleasantly surprised to have created a delicious pate.


Sometimes the strangest combination's turn out wonderfully. Depends if you like natto though.


Trip down memory lane. Running through vineyards in Champagne. Oh, I miss this place! I want to live in France! I really do! Beautiful places to run and champagne = perfect place!


Time for a perfect preworkout snack - a date. I better go get my sweat on now. 

 
I notice I like to use the word "perfect" a lot. 

Have a happy, healthy, and PERFECT day everyone.

New Toy/Baby!

 Yay! Motozo and I have a new baby in the house! Lookie Look! A new camera! This time a proper DSLR! We spent a good few weeks looking over different models, reading reviews, and getting recommendations etc. Since  my dad and sister, both photography buffs, own a Canon, I of course am bias and deciding for a Canon over Nikon was a no brainier. I thought I had my mind made up to for EOS Kiss X4, but at the shop Motozo and I decided to get a grade up :)  It took us almost 2 hours at the store, going back and forth between different models. Oh, it was a tough decision! We finally settled on the 60D and I'm VERY happy with it. Although, its slight heavier then the Kiss X4, I think we made the right decision.  The nobs and placement of buttons are more user friendly on the 60D and we got a great deal for 2 lenses.


 It'll take me awhile to figure out how to use the camera to its full potential. So here are just a few random practice shots(unaltered) from yesterday mainly of my food hehe. 

 Lotus


A short but fast run. 12k under an hour.


Refreshing green smoothie. Extra dark today because of the frozen blueberries. YUM! 


 I love that Kaki's (persimmons) are in season now!


Lunch, left over salad.


Home made chocolate. 100% cacao sweetened with maple syrup and shredded coconuts


Homemade vegan blueberry muffins with a light coconut oil spread. MMM! The coconut oil made this muffin magical! 


Anyone want to come over and have blueberry muffins? I have lots in my freezer still.
