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!

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 Smile

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

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 Smile 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 Smile

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:

juice

(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 Smile

Dessert time!

pie

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 Smile

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 Smile

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. 🙂

    So funny about the word “pampered.” I can’t really stand it either.

  8. Jessica @ How Sweet It Is on November 5, 2010 at 9:14 pm

    I feel the same about “pampered.” Blech. Glad you’re having fun. 🙂

  33. Erika @ Food.Fitness.Fun on November 6, 2010 at 9:34 am

    I usually don’t like juiced celery either – it usually takes over the flavor of the juice. 😛 Have fun!

  34. Averie (LoveVeggiesandYoga) on November 6, 2010 at 10:14 am

    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!

  35. AnneW on November 6, 2010 at 12:25 pm

    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!!
