We had a long weekend this weekend so lots of time to do great things this weekend:
We eat as healthy as possible. Lots of organic, homemade, raw foods. While I don't eat dairy myself, Fiance made homemade camembert cheese that is almost ready.
We went had a BBQ on Friday night, with organic free range chicken, grilled zucchini, sweet potato and red peppers, along with organic baby greens salad with mung bean sprouts (we sprout our own).
On Saturday I made 2 raw foods recipes: energy balls with spirulina and raw brownies... both recipes are AMAZING (let me know if you want the recipes I am happy to send to you). They mainly consist of nuts and dried dates, raisins and coconut. I take these babies on my long bike rides for energy.
You would never know this is not a regular brownie.. I am SERIOUS! You have to try it.. see the fork is ready for you :)
Sunday we went for a drive up island to explore the old growth forest and to see the big old trees that are hundreds of years old. Stopped at some great sites along the way.
Not only is this tree HUGE, I also look pretty big!!! (I had about 3 layers on!! and not exactly good posture in this one :( LOL). BUT this is still Jodi Unplugged so thats okay RIGHT???And for today I went for a long bike ride and then went downtown to take photos of the Victoria Day parade.
And now, after I have finished off the day with weeding the rest of the garden, I sit, feet up, and relax reading my book (is halfway finished since last week-- Handle with Care by Jodi Picoult). And then have dinner and pack my stuff for swimming tomorrow and get my lunch made.. bed by 9pm.
See ya tomorrow with daily outfit!! Welcome to my world!! It was a great week off and relaxing long weekend. Thank you powers that be!! I feel refreshed and ready to go!! xoxo Jodi

Oh! I never thought i could inspire someone like that! :) I'm honored. Thank you so much sweetie.
ReplyDeleteI think it's important to keep a blog, even a fashion one, authentic. People are intrigues to get to know you better, because that's what will differentiate you from the others. So I think it's totally ok NOT to post about fashion every single day. And it's a must to see someone "unplugged" as you say. :)
I often feel the same way about you when reading through your posts! Like I TOTALLY understand what you're trying to say....anyway....you SHOULD visit Greece. It's one of the most beautiful countries in the world. With the best food and weather. :)
About your pictures! So cool you guys do your own cheese! An I wants the recipe of them brownies! The photographs of the parade and people around it are PROFESSIONAL, really, the are PERFECT!!!!! Love them.
Nice to see you having a very relaxing day out!
ReplyDeleteWow. Your photos are amazing today! Especially of the parade. You are so talented!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. And you sound happy. I'm glad!
ReplyDeleteAmazing photography skills!

You had me at homemade camembert. Yum. Great to see what you're up to, that's one of the best things about blogging, getting to share people's lives and see them off-duty. Looks like you had fun.
ReplyDeleteYou should post those recipes. I love brownies, and I would love to try a raw one.
ReplyDeleteI would love to have the recipe for the raw brownies please!
