Good Eats: Starving Artist
What a lovely summer so far! Recently pretty much every time my bestie and I meet up, we go to the Starving Artist Waffle Espresso Bar. This gorgeous little place has been around for 2 years now and the best thing about them is of course their waffles.
My WESTERN waffle sandwich
The owners Bryan and Tobias loved waffles so much that pretty much very dish on their menu is served on or with a waffle. They have a great patio and such interesting food mixtures on their menu (salmon on a waffle?) – I highly recommend checking out the Starving Artist the next time you are near Lansdowne and Bloor.

Glorias Grand Meltdown
I went to Glorias yesterday, for those who are not familiar with Glorias Restaurant,They offer a new alternative to Tex-Mex cuisine with a dash of Salvadoran flavor. So i went to go see Hangover 2 yesterday (Which by the way i highly recommend 🙂 Before the movie some friends and i went to Glorias for some food and adult drinks. Well i started out smart and had a Mango Margarita at first, then somehow i made the biggest mistake in my life by ordering the drink you see above called ‘Gloria’s Grand Meltdown’
Its components are: A Big 16 OZ frozen sangria swirl with a shot of grand marnier on top (They say a shot, but it tasted like 5 honestly:)
If your ever here, its a must you try this bad boy out and do not say i did NOT warn you ;)…3309 Esperanza Crossing suite 100

Yoga in Motion
Last weekend I attended the Mount Sinai Hospital Breast Cancer Fundraiser called Yoga in Motion. It was a very inspirational and knowledgable event. I left feeling content and inspired to take on the world. There were some women that I had talked to, who basically did it all: work, raising kids alone- since they were single moms, and battling breast cancer. I don’t know how they did it, but they did and that was truly amazing.
The event was fun, and really busy. Here are some shots!
The ladies and men, starting off their yoga.
The lovely ladies from Cooking Greens. Such delicious food! I want more!! *swoons* – Bella you foodie, you would love it!
I met Rebecca from Arbonne. And she was lovely of course. PLUS she told me about these little bad boys. Basically they are tiny little candy like protein chews. Mmmm.
Marc from Sweets from the Earth, told me about their cupcakes and how their frosting are made from lavender flower petals. I almost died. PLUS he also gave me a free sample of chocolate fudge cake, and I LOVED IT! And it’s all natural and good for you- bonus!
I met Beth Godfrey the jewellary designer. And ladies I was in love with her stuff. I wanted it all. And I still do. These particular bracelets are to support Yoga in Motion/ Mount Sinai Hospital. And they are only $10. Check out Beth Godfrey Jewellery.
I met the girls from Eco Jot. Eco Jot is an eco friendly note book company. If you buy one notebook, they send another notebook to a child in need. So go to the website and purchase one!
That’s it for now. It’ was a great event and I thank Whitney and Oriel for inviting me out. Can’t wait for next year!! Check out Yoga in Motion for other sponsors/vendors/people and what ways you can help.
xo, Tanya
