#1. The Winnipeg Jets and their fans. I was in Winnipeg last week and had the amazing opportunity to see our Jets beat the Lightning! I have never been somewhere, where so many people showed up wearing the same thing as me! The fans are the most devoted, spirited and rowdy in the league and it was a spectacle to watch and be a part of (Ok I admit it, I cried during Oh Canada). The fans support is truly fueling the team! Congrats to the Jets, on a huge win against Florida last night!
#2. Fruit Tart: I have never been a "tart" type of person, but while in Winnipeg with my favorite sister, this raspberry one called my name for an afternoon treat and tea. It was absolutely delicious and I am officially converted. I don't know the exact health benefits of this dessert choice, but I felt a bit better about things with each bite of fresh raspberry.
#3. My Morning Oatmeal: I have a pretty great A.M routine that I've been doing for the past 2 months- a long morning run through the relatively peaceful downtown toronto streets, followed by my morning news podcast on my ipod and delicious oats with a weekly choice of berry! (This week its blackberries and it adds a delightful burst to each bite!) A fabulous and hearty way to start my day, most days I go to bed excited for breakfast.
#4. Homemade Tea Latte: I recently bought a milk-frother and I am a bit addicted to frothing milk for everything and anything- but especially my daily cup of Red Rose tea. I don't think I've been to Starbucks in two weeks... just call me Barista.
#5. My bedside table: Being a student on a low budget, my bedside tables are less than exquisite- in fact they are plastic storage drawers from Canadian Tire, however, I found a way to jazz them up with my favorite things. An antique tray from my mom for my jewellery that I take off nightly, a treasured photo and a piece of vintage art/ad I picked up at my favorite vintage store in the West Village of NYC- reminding me of my amazing summer and second home.
