Snow Days & Stella and Dot

So I'm a little excited today for a few reasons...The first one being that I got to sleep in today since school was cancelled!! 😃  Anyone else who's from the maritimes knows the power of a good ol' Nor Easter and the inevitable shut down of the city that ensues afterwards.   A big shout out goes to all the essential services folks who were working hard to keep our city safe!

                                                         Our partially cleared sidewalk.

And how do I spend an entire day off you ask?  Well, I begin with my 30 day yoga challenge YouTube video with the lovely Erin Motz.  That's right, 'Namaste' everyone! 😉 I thought my yoga practice was moving along smoothly until I tried the Crow pose today.   Wow, way to work those triceps!  Luckily I had lots of pillows around for practice as this was quite an interesting way to start the day.  Nonetheless, I love yoga for the calm,meditation time it gives me as well as awesome flexibility and strength.  Plus I get to light my yummy David's Tea 'Read My Lips' candle which smells choclately and amazing!

Another way I like to spend days like this is to get my snowshoes out and head out with my favourite furry friend to enjoy the snow.

Once we came in of course I was starving so I headed straight to the kitchen for some chilli but not 
before I made my favourite cheddar soda bread. Check out the recipe here.

Another way to relax after lunch is to kick back and relax with the latest issue of Glamour magazine.  Look who's on the cover....I've loved Allison Williams since I saw her in Peter Pan.  How much do 
you love that dress?? Now 'Girls' is officially on my must see tv list.  Somehow I'll squeeze it in 
along with OITNB.





                                 

The other reason I'm feeling excited is because my Stella and Dot order arrived yesterday and I now have some gorgeous new jewels for spring! You see Stella and Dot is not only a business for me but a 
little indulgence too.  My ultimate faves for Spring are the Waverley Petite bag and the Melia necklace.
