Conscious Food Festival

Attention Toronto:

August 14th and 15th will see a celebration of sustainable food at the Conscious Food Festival!. I believe I may have to go to this! Going to these kinds of things in Toronto will be so much easier when I FINALLY move!

Tickets are $26, but, for a limited time, you can go to Groupon (sign up here) and get tickets for HALF PRICE! Groupon is a fabulous site that offers all kinds of deals around your city (from restaurants to spas to services)...I've gotten some ridiculous deals already, but I am looking forward to getting some more when I FINALLY move!

EDITED: Tickets are $18 each, but you can get two for $13 on Groupon!

There is also a fabulous Organic Food DELIVERY service available in Toronto called Green Earth Organics. I learned about them on Groupon as a matter of fact! I will be sure to use them when I FINALLY move!

In case you haven't yet picked up on my subtle craving, I am hoping to FINALLY move to Toronto soon (within the next month). Eating "Whole" has been a SUPER challenge for me these last 2 months, and as I move into the 3rd month, I am feeling the effects in a big way! I am tired ALL the time (even though I seriously don't do anything all the live long day), I am moody, and I can't seem to get motivated to do anything. I haven't totally abandoned eating whole foods (i.e. NO CANNED FOODS, and I found a readily available all natural mayonnaise (even though I like mine better)), I do it when I can, but not having your own kitchen to cook in is killing the effort. Also, organics are SO EXPENSIVE in Canada. Not like in Bermuda where they were a couple of dollars more, here, they are ALOT of dollars more! That's going to take some adjustment, so this whole "Adventure" is taking on a new life as we will definitely have to move towards a "Frugal Adventure in Whole Foods". I also live in a city that worships McDonalds and Walmart...so good food on the go is next to near impossible to find...and for the most part, I have thrown in the towel and made some pretty bad choices! :(

Once my life settles into normality (i.e. I get back to work and get a place of my own) then this will settle too, I am sure of it!
