On The Weekend: The Grand Prix and Chocolate

This weekend was the Grand Prix in Montréal.  Fast, expensive cars were parked everywhere downtown, and you could even hear the races far off into the distance (those cars are loud!).  Aside from cool cars, another prevailing theme of the weekend seemed to be chocolate; I visited a student favorite: Juliette et Chocolat in St. Laurent.

Star Trekking

I had the pleasure of seeing Star Trek: Into Darkness this weekend.  Amidst crazy gravity defying scenes, great special effects and cryogenic freezers (?!), I couldn't help but notice Zoe Saldanas' makeup.  She just looked to darned put together while she was kicking Klingon butt!  This is probably just an excuse for me to fan-girl over Star Trek even more I've attempted to recreate the look, which is very simple.  What girl has time for makeup when there is intergalactic space to explore?

The Green Goddess

My Mum turned me onto making these green smoothies as a great way to get some extra veggies into your diet.  She was the one that coined the name "Green Goddess".  Yes, I was skeptical at first - just look at that colour! - but one taste had me hooked. These smoothies are sweet, refreshing, and oh-so-good-for-you.

Quinoa For Breakfast?

In the morning time is essential, and I don't always have ample time to make myself breakfast (much to my horror, breakfast is my favorite meal!).  These quinoa filled breakfast bowls pack a ton of protein into one easy to prepare serving and keep you full until lunch.  They are perfect for busy days you want to continue to eat healthfully in.  Keep reading to find out how to make them!
