“May I please photograph your bird?”
“Sure thing, honey. Let’s step into the sunlight.”
That pink squawking bird was one of the many fun animals at the famer’s market this morning!
It was bumpin’
Usually the selection is a little better on Sundays but the rows of pesticide-free local produce stole my heart.
I came home with a bagful of salad and juicing goodness 
Earlier this morning, I taught the complimentary weekend class at lululemon- BOOTCAMP! It made me remember how much I missed teaching bootcamp- it was a blasty. My thighs will definitely be talking to me tomorrow 
Some random eats:
Sun Warrior oats to-go
Veg and hummus snack:
I’m off to grab some dinner since I had an early lunch, but I hope you all have a lovely night!!
xoox

Something to do: Check out these beautiful bracelets:
Our manager gave us each one this morning- they’re made out of recycled paper than women in Uganda turn into beads. It’s an entrepreneurial environment and 100% of the net profits go directly to the communities. For more info, check out BeadForLife

Ahh I am so jealous of your farmers market – it is just too cold here 🙁
I wish it were still warm enough here to have a Farmer’s Market open. Ours close at the end of October. There is something so fun about bootcamps. I need to find a local one pronto.
Aww what a beautiful cockatoo! I used to have a few.
I got two of the necklaces for Christmas! They are so cool.
I just saw your post on the bracelets and signed up to have a bead party! It sounds like an awesome idea and I am excited to hopefully sell some pieces at a party in Feb.!! What an awesome cause!
you’ve had a great day, gina!
love the bracelet – fantastic when organizations help others help themselves…in my city, there is a store, Ten Thousand Villages, that sells products made by people in underpriviledged circumstances overseas…win-win when we can support these organizations with our shopping choices!
That’s very cool about the bracelets. I’m looking at their online store now… 🙂
Beads For Life!! I have a ton of their stuff my mom has gotten from our church sales!
oh my i would LOVE to go to a farmers market like the ones you go to.
those bracelets are super cool!
I just bought 5 bracelets for some of my girlfriends at work. Wish I had heard about Beads for Life before Christmas! Thanks for the great link.
One of my friends went to Uganda last year and brought me back one of their necklaces! I get so many compliments on it (and it’s even better that it’s such a great cause!).
I wish it was warm enough here to actually enjoy the farmer’s market! We have one that’s open in the winter, but it is indoors and pretty small:( You’re a lucky duck!
p.s. I have one of those bracelets, such a great cause!!
Those bracelets are so cool. I wish there was a farmers market here for me to go too. I’m jealous of that sunshine.
awesome you taught bootcamp! i heart bootcamp classes. i go twice a week! have a great night!
I just got one of those bracelets for Christmas and I love it!
HAHAHA —> “May I please photograph your bird?” 🙂
hahah if that’s not random, i don’t know what is. the lady was very nice though 🙂
How I wish our farmers market was longer than 2 months out of the year!-you are so lucky!!!
Bird sightings and farmer’s markets…kind of go hand in hand. A little funky and random action it sounds like!
I love the farmer’s market pics!
And I love the bracelets. I hope the women are actually really getting the money. One can only hope in karma that their lives are truly being helped. I think it’s awesome and so cool of your mgr to support women.
As women, it’s so important to support each other. Thank you for the reminder 🙂
lululemon…love it!!!!
And boot camp…wish I had time, or at least I wish I could find a babysitter 🙂
You rock!
Farmer’s market is the bestest! And the birdie is super cute. 🙂
That is a purty bird! I loveee teaching bootcamp! too much fun!
My office on campus sold BeadsforLife as a fundraiser last year. I think they are SO cool & such a great project.
I love that bracelet.. beautiful and for a wonderful cause… doesn’t get much better than that!!
Beautiful bracelet! I love Farmer’s Market..I think I am addicted to them (if thats possible).
Huge bummer I missed my farmer’s market this morning, as you reminded me of it since you were good and went to yours! 🙂
Have a good evening!
My mom just bought me one of those bracelets… I love it! Mine’s blue 🙂
I really wish we had consistent farmers markets here.. I feel like I’m missing out on so much! The pesticide-free vegetables look so fresh!
I have those beads! They were a gift from my mother-in-law! Such a cool thing.
Silly question… but how did you get the seeds out of your cucumbers? Is it a special tool or just spooned out?
i just use a spoon and scrape them out
Your farmer’s market looks so fun! And sunny!
How pretty are those beads?
So jealous of your outdoor farmer’s market 🙂
I live in Colorado so the winter season is quite devoid of farmer’s markets- there is one, but it is indoors and the fresh produce is pretty scant.
that bracelet is stunning…one of my friends actually volunteers to go overseas and teach those amazing women how to make things like that. awesome, right? 🙂
Gorgeous photos!!
your oats look deeeelish
ah, the benefits of living in a warm environment. mine farmers market is closed for the season. and we don’t have parrots. 🙂
I haven’t been to the Farmer’s Market in the longest time! I gotta get there asap 🙂
What a gorgeous cockatoo!! I have a Hahns Macaw and people always stop me to see it lol! I don’t mind though!
Hey – I didn’t know lululemon did complimentary classes on Saturdays!? I’m local, so I definitely would’ve come to your boot camp! Give us a heads up next time & I’ll put it in my planner : )
i totally will! 🙂
The idea of those bracelets is amazing! I love them.
is that bird sitting directly on someone’s hand? crazy!
I have a Hahns Macaw and my bird goes wherever I go in the house. She either follows me by stepping on my shoulder or my hand 🙂
she was walking around with it on her shoulder!
Ahhh I’m so jealous of #1) your amazing weather, and 2) the farmer’s market!! I can’t wait till ours reopens again. Looks like a gorgeous day! 🙂
cool bracelets!
I love the farmers market, no bird at mine. haha!
This post is making me so excited for our farmers market to open again. Spring cannot get here fast enough!!
Oooh! My mom gave me one of those bracelets for Christmas. I love it!! I have one with mostly pink beads and it is sooooo pretty!
ohh, such a pretty bracelet!
Your farmer’s market looks so much better than anything I’ve seen before…and I live in farmland now! 🙂
This makes me think of the weird guy walking around my old apartment complex with a bird on his shoulder. Bird at the farmers market = cool/cute. Bird on some random guy’s shoulder = creepy. 🙂
I love the bracelet! I bookmarked the site for future gift ideas. I want to try their shea lip balm, too!
Hope you had a great weekend!
cute bracelet! I am officially envious of both your sun and your farmer’s markets 🙂
Thanks for a fantastic blog! I’m a newcomer to your party, and I’ve spent a good chunk of the weekend reading old blog entries. I’m very jealous of your warm weather and your farmer’s market. It’s so cold here that my car wouldn’t start this morning. Oh well, if nothing else, Winter makes me really appreciate the Spring! Thanks again…can’t wait to keep reading.
thank you so much for reading 🙂 hope to *see* you around more often! xoxo
