In October if this year, Chris and I decided to drop all of our excuses, and commit to integrating a yoga practice into our daily lives. We decided to go for an unlimited pass at our local yoga studio, to motivate ourselves to consistently attend, in hopes that we would not only allow for an invigorating workout, but also a chance for us to step away from our daily lives and bring calm and stillness to our minds. Yoga to me used to just be yet another workout class I would attend to get my heart rate up and break a sweat, when I did not feel up to the intense weight lifting courses I would take at the gym. Nowadays, however, as cliche that it may sound to some, yoga to me has been at outlet of relaxation, realization of inner joy, a personal connection with my mind, body, and spirit, and a new outlet and level of connection with my boyfriend Chris. Although I have been attending yoga courses for a few years now, I have not, until now, ever followed a consistent schedule, or integrated it into my daily life as I have done so now. For the first time in my life, I was able to actually silence my mind from all thoughts outside of the studio, a focus on the present moment, the inner strength I hold in my body and mind, and all all-peaceful state of meditation.

Chris / Conscious Chris came into town last month for 10 days, so of course we had to make our way through LA and hit up as many restaurants + activities possible. With a seemingly never-ending plethora of vegan food in Los Angeles, these 10 days did not make a dent in what is available to try, but we definitely hit up quite a few spots. Luckily, Chris will be moving to LA mid-October, so we have time to get to what we missed. I'm sharing with you all a bit of my personal experience each day of his trip, not only as a reference for you, but also as a personal reflection for me on one of the best week's I think I've ever had. Reliving it here with you all is bringing nothing but a smile to my face :)

_MG_2731Did you know that medjool dates are actually considered a fresh, not dried, fruit?!

This past week, (familiar for those of you who follow me on Instagram or Facebook) I was privileged enough to visit the 2015 Natural Delights Medjool Date Blogger Summit at the Bard Valley date farm.
14 talented women were chosen to attend, and what a great group they chose. A constant flow of energy, passion and giggles all around, I had a good time from my meeting of Kathy at the airport to my final goodbyes to LA. It was interesting to have been put into a group of such a wide variety of bloggers. There was a large variation of opinions and viewpoints,and it was enlightening to open my perspective up a bit to that of others, and grow from the thoughts and experiences of other successful bloggers.
