Fresh Start
Wow...it's been forever since I've blogged. Lots has happened since January...
In January I worked at MAC cosmetics for awhile at the Park Royal location and managed to fit in lots of yoga. I hosted a sketch comedy show with Cocktails and Holywater. I knew the musical guest and he asked me to sing one song with him. That was awesome!
In February I did some fun photo shoots, and managed to keep up my yoga classes. Mainly I just took in the craziness of the Olympics! That was the coolest feeling. Everyone flooding the streets, taking in the sunshine, giving out high fives and celebrating our amazing Gold Medal Men's hockey game. AMAZING.
March brought in steady work back on Sanctuary which has consumed me since then. When you work 60hrs a week you really don't have time for much else.
In May I saw Dan Mangan in concert. That was awesome. He is so talented!
June brought the LEO AWARDS and I was happy to attend again. Sanctuary was nominated for 17 Awards and won 7. Oh and P.S. Dan Mangan won for best music video. Saw him that night and was absolutely tickled pink. tee, hee. Yeah, I'm a bit of a fan.
Tiz the season for weddings and so makeup is in full force including my good friend Kat. She looked absolutely stunning if I do say so myself. Getting ready for my friends wedding in September in Montreal. So excited! It's been really fun being apart of her process. From trying on dresses, fittings, invitations and also fitting in some hiking so we can both look wicked on the day!
On hiatus from the show till Aug.3rd and have really enjoyed my time off. I went to Vegas with my best friend and we shot machine guns! Ha, Ha! It was awesome. Only 2 weeks left and I'm just so happy. Life is good.
Today I started The Wild Rose Cleanse. I've done it once before. Actually it was around this time last year that I did it. Have to say the sugar cravings aren't as bad as last time. Guess I've been doing an ok job controlling that in the past year. Prepping the food is the only way to go. You never go hungry that way. Here's a super easy side dish (I don't cook so easy to me is on the extreme)
Curried Cauliflower & Potato (side dish)
Serves 2-4
2 tbsp Olive Oil
1 large Onion
2 tsp curry powder
1 large potato (diced)
2 cups cauliflower (broken in small pieces)
1/2 cup water
1/2 tsp salt
pinch pepper
1.) Saute onions over medium heat in oil for 5 minutes or until onions are soft.
2. ) Add curry and saute for 2-3 minutes stirring constantly to avoid scorching. Add 1 or 2 tbsp water if it starts to burn.
3.) Add potato, cauliflower, water, salt, pepper, cover and simmer for about 15 minutes or until potatos and cauliflower are cooked.
Simple fast and easy. AND soooooooo tasty!
Until next time
