Ma Cherie~

She is my 2 and a half years old sister. She is such a gentle soul. Nature and flowers are her favourite things.... next to laptops~ 

She hardly play with them, I stuffed those to her for the picture and she obediently held them 

Going to the bar?

Inside our apartment complex there are gardens and water fountains it is really a gorgeous landscape. Wedding photographers come here to shoot too~

                     
         Finding some "bounce", a term we use for reflective objects.

   Trying to give me the leaf she found on the ground..... how sweet 

    My dad was pretending to be Monster, and that really frightened her. Poor thing.....

I love pleasant things in life and spoil myself by indulging in them once in awhile. This week I have been trying really hard to restrain myself from my favourite food, so today as a reward/replacement I went and bought myself some flowers. My spirit was lifted right away. Recently I learned about the "golden angle" a.k.a. 137.508 degree. It can be found everywhere in nature, and especially common in flowers. It is the angle in which the new petal grow relative from the previous existing petal. Ever since then, I am just so mesmerized by the beauty and the intelligent design.

Those crabtree cookies and tea were gift from my friend, Kelly, now I can only observe the beautiful package, the "content" will have to wait. 

 Kelly came visit Vancouver this week with her lovely daughter Abby. Abby is only 20 months old and looked so adorable in her tutu. She is not shy with strangers and loves to give us hugs.  During our busy day, we had a 10 minute window to do some quick snaps and this is what I got. 

Juice Fast

This is day 7/14 of my juice fast journey. For 14 days I am only allow to consume vegetable, fruit juice, water and non-caffinated tea. Testing different combinations of juice was an exciting task that  I looked forward to each day. I really enjoy drinking the juice, and that made the detox program a whole lot easier. My current favourite is avocado, ambrosia apple and zucchini. It is sweet, rich and so beautiful to look at.

Before and After

I am starting a before and after album today. It is mainly for myself to see what I did for with the photos and keep a record of my style. Here is sneak peek of Youna's photo shoot.

Two Year Reunion

As a girl there are lots to learn, there are lots of teacher in my life and she is one of them.
She was the one who taught me it is alright for a girl to enter the weight room and how to use the elliptical. She is cheerful, understanding, beautiful inside and out.

We went out for lunch in this amazing Romer Burger Bar located along the Fraser River.
We would prefer sunshine, but rain was also lovely against the tall glass windows.

Have a safe trip home Kay~

Beet Chocolate Cake

This is beet and chocolate cake. I love things with a twist so when I saw the recipe I knew I had to make it. The beet is pureed in, so I can't really pick out the vegetable taste in the final product. I wouldn't say this is my favourite dessert, but it is very pleasant when accompanied with a cup of earl grey or expresso.
