Hello! I hope you’re all enjoying the long weekend (if you have one). Today is Family Day in Ontario, but my parents are on their way to a tropical vacation without me, and I’m stuck alone here in the cold. How nice of them, right? 
My day definitely wasn’t bad, though – I managed to get a bunch of cleaning done, and spent a lot of time relaxing on the couch. Exactly how I wanted to spend my day off work 
I was also able to spend some time with my mom yesterday, before she left for warmer weather, so I’m counting that as my celebration of Family Day.
Before I met up with her, I inhaled two dates and got in an hour of free yoga at Lululemon.
Then I hurried home to get ready, and made a quick smoothie with almond milk, banana, strawberries, protein powder and almond butter. I didn’t want to eat anything too heavy, because we were heading to Fresh for a lunch date.
After the subway ride there I was already starving, so I got a cherry blossom juice, which was cherry, apple, raspberry and banana. It was so good it rivals my favourite yellow brick road juice
For my meal I got the mini life salad, because I know their portions are huge and didn’t want to be carrying around leftovers all day. The salad was delicious and the perfect size – I loved everything about it! It went really well with the vegan caesar dressing I chose, but I’m sure it would be delicious with any one of them.
My mom got a wrap, and shared her sweet potato fries with me
Afterwards we wandered around outside a bit, and stopped down the street for my new favourite thing ever, Menchie’s froyo <3
I went a little crazy with flavours and toppings again – I got original tart, cake batter and pina colada, topped with mochi, brownie, lucky charms, coconut and maraschino cherries.
This is the crazy look someone gets when they’re in love with a dessert. I think I scared my mom a little.
I’m sad that my parents are gone for a while, but I’m glad I got to at least see my mom for a bit before their vacation. I’m also sad that my “vacation” ends tomorrow, and it’s back to work and the real world. Bah 
See you on Tuesday!
