Nails, Yoga, Raw food baby
Hi guys! How are you? Hope you’re having a happy Friday so far!! <3
This morning, a group of us woke up early for a lovely breakfast at Bread & Cocoa– a super cute little bakery/deli.
They had OATS!
Perfect sticky THICK oats and in that bowl was at least 4 servings. I added half a pack of Vega protein to mine and feasted to my heart’s delight 
After breakfast, Kath and I went to get manicures at a beautiful spa. We were the only people in there and it was so nice to chat, chill and get pampered. (Side note: I hate the word “pampered”. It makes me think of diapers, not luxury)
Kath is one of those people who is EXACTLY like you think she’s be from reading her blog- smart, chill, so much fun. It was a blasty to finally hang out with her!
After our nails, we did a little shopping and then went to an incredible yoga practice at Yoga to the People.
Yoga to the People is an organization that provides donation-based yoga classes. They have classes in New York, San Francisco and also podcasts on iTunes if you want to check it out The class today was perfecto- enough deep breathing and meditation, twisting and juicy stretches, and quad burners (including a ridiculous side angle series) that rocked my face off. I was tingling all over and happy… and hungry
We met up with some more bloggies at Café Gratitude for lunch- a café that used to be entirely raw vegan but is not offering cooked vegan dishes as well.
I was scarily excited to see green juice on the menu, so I ordered a giant glass:
(Kale, celery and cucumber- and I think they added salt to it! I usually can’t stand juiced celery, but today it tasted really amazing)
Our table also shared an appetizer plate with raw buckwheat crackers, flax crackers, various nut pates, collard wraps and butternut squash soup:
For my entree , I rolled with the I am Fulfilled Salad– greens, carrots, beets, tomatoes, sprouts, avocado, flax cracker and a fig balsamic vinaigrette
It was fresh, flavorful and MASSIVE. A salad beast of all beasts
Dessert time!
Raw coconut cream pie (I had a bite)
and an almond joy truffle:
We walked back towards the hotel, my food baby in tow, and made a couple stops along the way
A 3-story Forever 21 and HM.
Now we’re back, getting ready for the first official Foodbuzz Festival event.
Have a great night and I’ll be back tonight with the re-cap
xoxo,
Gina

I love your day – had all the essential elements!! Good pick on the nails too 🙂
Hahaha. I totally think diapers when I hear pampered too. I’ve never known anyone else to think that.
Sounds like a perfect day. Yoga, lunch with girlfriends, a manicure, and shopping? Then, only more to come with a cocktail party. I think jealous would be an understatement here. 😉
Wow – I can’t get past that wedding ring – GORGEOUS!
Oh, and the food looks good too. 🙂
Looks like a lot of delicious food will be eaten this weekend!
got the same nail color today to match my grey lulu long sleeved shirt i’m wearing for the marathon on sunday!!! Have fun in SF!!!
XOXO

Do you have any idea what the specific shade is? I looked on the Chanel nail color site, and cannot find it, and in a later comment, Gina said she did not know what the color name was. I am dying to know. It is so beautiful, and the perfect color for my next fall manicure!

God bless you, Gina! Made my night. 🙂
So many forks going in for the dessert! Looks fun!
So funny about the word “pampered.” I can’t really stand it either.
I feel the same about “pampered.” Blech. Glad you’re having fun. 🙂
A Salad beast of all beasts — sounds epic!

The only thing better than a Forever21 is one with three stories!
Yummy food, yoga, manicures, shopping, and blog friends… it sounds like the perfect day! I’m so jealous!
whoaaa!! just got blinded by yo’ bling! 🙂 my friend told me about yoga to the people here in ny. didn’t realize they have there in sf as well! arrived in ny this morning, kinda cold but happy to be here! i usually don’t like celery juice either…maybe i should go to cafe grat since i do live there! lol have fun!
I love how you and Kath have the exact same pictures! Ha!
It looks like you’re having so much fun! Two things – I love your nail color and WOW – a 3-story forever 21 and h&m?! HEAVENLY!
I usually don’t like juiced celery either – it usually takes over the flavor of the juice. 😛 Have fun!
It was great seeing you last night! And I hope you have a productive and fun day…and that the dress-finding karma gods smile down upon you and you find that perfect dress! 🙂
Love that you were able to get in some yoga, nails, raw food, and time with Kath!
Gina! If you get any chance at all to go to Gracias Madre- Cafe Gratitude’s sister restaurant – a vegan taqueria- GO! It will ROCK YOUR FACE OFF!!
Yay, you made it to Cafe Gratitude! If you liked their food, they sell cookbooks with the recipes! 😀
Looks like a fun time so far, and that was just the pre-party! 🙂
OH MY GAAAWWWWWHHHH- Gina, your wedding ring is B.E.A.U.TIFUL!!! I had not seen a close up of it on your blog, and happened to see it in your nails pictures- GORGEOUS!! 🙂
