Abstract: My new Netlfix obsession\\\ Abstract: Ma nouvelle obsession Netflix
(version française plus bas) A few days ago, Netflix launched a new show called Abstract: The Art of Design.

A Time and a Plate, my favourite podcast
A year ago, I changed my phone to a smartphone, and it made me discover the wonderful world of podcasts. I must have lived under a rock because I really wasn’t familiar with these.

Big Magic, a book review
A long time ago, I bought Eat, Pray, Love for my mom as a birthday present. That was a complete fail because she hated it. She thought the narrator was patronizing and silly. Oh well, that book ended up on my bookshelf, and I enjoyed it. We recently watched the movie, and it was goodContinue reading “Big Magic, a book review”

Pure Kitchen, a restaurant review
Sunday, after attending the Ottawa Veg Fest, we went to eat at Pure Kitchen. Apparently, this restaurant was launched by the Pure Yoga studios’ team. Their vegetarian menu includes many delicious vegan options, juices and smoothies.

Summer is coming!
With the warm weather coming back, I have but one thing on my mind: TRAVEL! Every time I hop in the car or on the bus, I feel like shouting, “To infinity and beyond!” However, as we don’t have any trips planned for this summer, I’m starting to think that exploring our province would beContinue reading “Summer is coming!”
