Bake Sale and Yoga love

by Lori and Michelle on January 27, 2010

Hey friends,

*for those of you who have emailed us or left us a question in the comment section we are working on getting back to each and every one of you soon :)

How is everyone? Everyone spreading the word about the great bake sale that is happening on The Chic Life!!!! It is a great cause to raise money for Haiti!

Now onto the fun stuff… food!

Yesterday morning started with our a delicious green smoothie

Don’t worry we did not have another green smoothie instead our mid-afternoon snack was this mouthwatering chocolate lovers delight

Pure Bliss! We love our raw cacao and carob! A girl can never have too much chocolate ;)

Now this snack is going to be hard to beat?!?!

But….

Is 3pm too early to have a drink?!?!

Just kidding. This is just our water kefir. Though we like to put in our wine glasses it helps make us feel classy and proper ;) We love it! Another great afternoon snack in our opinion! Great way to pump up our good bacteria!

Dinner was a little different for the both of us!

I had a very simple yet classy dinner – a mix of fermented veggies and sauerkraut mixed in a jar with lots of tahini about 2 tbsp worth :) Heather seriously made eating out of a jar so much fun! Thanks girl!

My favorite condiment at the moment – TAHINI (always saves the day)

Seriously raw tahini and raw fermented veggies go great together! Perfect marriage of flavors in my opinion!!!!

Lori wanted to be a little different! GASP! She was craving something a little warm.

Lori had a mix of her fermented veggies and sauerkraut though made a creamy veggie mash on the side!

Topped the fermented veggies with some hemp seeds. A little ‘healthy fat’ booster to the meal!

She just might share the recipe with you all ;) It is not your average mash!!!!

The remaining of the evening was boring! We just drank lemon water :) Nice!

Workout:

Morning routine. Really enjoying our morning yoga sessions. We did try some yoga studios last week that we mentioned before though due to money reasons can’t go all the time. So we decided to create our own ‘yoga class’ at home and we do it almost every morning.

We get our yoga inspiration from these great ladies Averie, Heather, Jenna. Also my yoga love started with my friend Gina where we both fell in love with it while at 105 degrees and I know that Whit, Lori and Stephanie are all falling in love with yoga as well :) Look Averie at all the yoga love going around :) Hopefully soon Lori and I will be as good as you ;)

Lori and I have really been enjoying our yoga sessions every morning! We are realizing that it is a journey and a practice not something you become good at overnight. Yoga really helps calm us down and brings awareness to ourselves. It really has been strengthening not our body but also our minds :) Love that! I highly recommend incorporating some form of yoga into our daily fitness routine! Your body and mind will thank you for it!

Time for us to go watch some Oprah while we do some work. Going to be a good show today. Check it out.

And remember about the Haiti Bakesale!

Till next time,

Michelle

So, you like the basil in smoothies, I’ve noticed… honestly, I’m scared to try it. It sounds good… but I’m still hesitant. I’ve tried cilantro, and really, it’s not my thing…
But that avocado pudding. Wow. It looks way better (and mousse-ier) than regular- don’t you just love raw foods creations!?

Right on with the yoga-loving! It’s a MUST.

Lori, yeah basil is great in smoothies especially with bananas ;) Sorry you did not like cilantro, it can be a little hard for some. It took us a while to fall in love with it. We like limes with cilantro. Eventually your taste buds will learn to love the different greens! Promise!

I’m going to make sure & catch Oprah today, too. Lovely food from two lovely ladies, as always! You two make my day.

Aww thanks Nikki! :)

Malted Chocolate avocado pudding, oh boy, that looks great!

Thanks for the yoga shout outs…and it’s a journey. My practice is 10 years in the making. And it’s not just about the body and the physical, you are so right! In my early and mid20s, it was. Now, it has evolved again and it’s about the mental & spiritual, too. It’s such a beautiful journey and I’m glad you two have hopped on the yoga train, too :)

And Oprah, yes, I DVR’ed it today (first time I have taped oprah since high school I think!) and will watch Alicia tonight! yay!

xoxo
