Meet Lauren

The blogging world is so wonderful for so many different reasons. 

 One of the many reasons is that you come across awesome new people with super neato  very creative blogs and you want to tell the whole word about it! 

  I recently came across my new Friend Lauren's blog tippeecanoe.  

I fell in love and wanted to share a little bit about her and her blog so you can stalk her  fall in love with her blog as well. ♥♥   A few words from Lauren:

Hey Y'all, I'm Lauren! Friends call me Lo! I'm a 20-something, born and raised in a small town in Southern Alberta, Canada. Where the wind blows fiercely, and the snow falls in truck loads (as do the Cowboys!), but when its beautiful it sure is BEAUTIFUL!

I first started my blog last year as a way to keep my family and friends as close as possible while I was busy moving here there and everywhere. But along the way I haven fallen in love with it and it is starting to grow! After moving a lot in the last year (places include Hawaii and Idaho) I am currently back in good ol' Canada, doing my day job of cleaning and fixing teeth, and trying

to find ways to keep myself excited about life!

I am a lover of all things spontaneous, creative, yummy and wonderful!

I love to dance, travel, bake, take pictures, sing, play the guitar, paint and most importantly laugh!

Because that's what life is all about!

Over the last couple of years, I have really learned to embrace life and go for my dreams. And if I fall flat on my face, to just get up, keep on going and make it work! Life is for living and not just enduring!

TIPPEE CANOE, is a glance into the things I love, my life, and where it takes me.

 A little here,and a little there, and whatever happens along the way!

So come on over and stay a while, I won't mind!

XOXO

Lauren

My Sun room and I

Ok, so our new house has a pretty nice size "sun room" in the back which I would like to make a little Yoga space for myself to practice and when I have mini classes of my own I can squeeze a small class in here.
I would like to paint this room but haven't found the right inspiration yet.  I need little statues, a few paintings, curtains, let's just say there is a lot to be done in here.  there is a ton of cabinet space that I use for all of my wonderful stamping items so when i'm feeling crafty this space can be used for that as well.
Lately I have been sitting in a fold out chair right in front of the sliding door that's in the room since it looks out to our back yard where I get to stare at the green backdrop filled with trees as well as my herb/fruit garden that is starting to pick up and bloom!! It's pretty exciting when you plant seeds or a mini plant and you can see it's progress every day.  I have tomato plants growing in an area like weeds!  I didn't even plant those things yet they keep popping out everywhere.  Same thing with cantaloupe!! There are 5 different cantaloupe plant's growing in our back yard that were not there when we moved in a few weeks ago and now these little bad boys are getting HUGE! Anyway... back to the sun room (where I am sitting right now and looking at different little birds hang out on the grass) since I have been hanging out here a little more in this fold our chair that I used to think was SUPER comfortable is actually becoming a little uncomfortable.  I saw someones blog and I can't remember whos!! where someone made a little seating area with a pallet of wood.  I'm trying to remember where I saw it since it was such an awesome Idea and would love to make one for my Yoga area...

This is similar to what i'm looking for maybe a little lower to the ground

I saw this when I was searching and thought it was adorable.  If my couch is a success I will make this for the Coop!

 If anyone has any decor ideas, curtain ideas, (there are 4 windows and a sliding door) color ideas, home made item ideas please shoot them my way I would love to try different things to decorate our little space of peace. ♥

Yoga in Pasadena

So I have been going to  a Yoga studio in Pasadena called Yoga XYZ (Had to take off the name for some reason...).  It's a pretty nice studio, VERY large, a little plain, I haven't seen any cool Art in there or any Buddha head's so that's a little bit so it's not what im usually used to. Change is good, these are the times when you should be a little open minded I guess.
 I want to have the WHOLE experience when I go into a yoga studio.  The hippie like receptionist, the super soothing voice of the Instructor, the slightly heated room, a candle here and there, the smell of incense, the stillness that you feel from others when you walk into the "Quiet" of the room  OMG! There are so many things that make up MY perfect Yoga studio.
 I think one of the studio's that always stands out  is this really cool studio in Good Ol Chula Vista, yogacenterchulavista.com.  This studio is so AMAZING! The instructors are awesome!  I remember being in their classes and thinking..  "Ah!  I wish I could do what they do, teach what they teach"  Yes! Yoga Center Chula Vista... I will tell you guys more about this fab studio in a few days...

 So yes, Yoga XYZ.  It's nice... BUT it didn't have what I usually look for in a Yoga studio.  Everyone is different though therefore we all need different things.  Don't get me wrong the space is a wonderful space and the instructors were all very talented and genuine, but it just wasn't my Yoga "home".  Exploring new studios is something we should always do to keep things nice and refreshing, so to be honest I may check out the big yoga space a few more times :)  Yoga is good no matter where you are, who you are with or what the teacher is yelling out... that's why we listen to our bodies right?
