After suffering from a mild case of writer's block I was relieved to stumble upon Enter Kelly's post yesterday ( borrowed from Life, etc...) which is a countdown of random facts, stemming from body parts (that sounded creepy, just keep reading, I promise!) 

(You know you're a foodie in a committed relationship when... the list was supposed to start with 9 celebrity crushes but I could only think of 3 so I swapped the order of cute boys for yummy food!)

Eat with your stomach (9 yummy treats): 

• Homemade guacamole (which I make on average 3 times a week)
• White wine (well this is more drink with my mouth than eat with my stomach but it's one of my self-care techniques and I'm not selective- as long as it's not red!)
• Fresh mango
• Popcorn with nutritional yeast & chili powder topping
• Applesauce
• Purely Decadent dairy free 'Turtle Trails' flavoured icecream
• Mushed up bananas (sounds revolting but ironically enough this is my cure for nausea!)
• Green smoothie (with kale, hemp hearts, chia seeds & various fruit)
• BBQ tofu & veggie skewers

Love with your heart (8 loves of my life): 

• My man
• Family
• Friends

Talk with your mouth (6 addictive sayings):

• Everything happens for a reason
• Go confidently in the direction of your dreams, live the life you've  imagined

Create with your hands (4 things you created that you're proud of):

• The life that I created for myself in Ottawa (6 years ago) away from everything (and everyone) familiar
• This blog

                            Look with your eyes (3 celebrity crushes):
