Meatless Monday … Snooze … 100% VEGGIE TUESDAY

Since i snoozed through #MeatlessMonday & took the day head strong with Crispy Bacon ! I decided to delay the #MeatlessMonday until Tuesday … aka #2Day ! Ugh its been a terribly boring day of awareness of being Meatless.

Starting the day off with a glass of water & two small pears  … okay i got this … easy ! then on to the fork full of peanut butter – which ended up being dumped half way through

Off to lunch where i slowly drank an cold brew Mighty Good Coffee  accompanied by a Tuck & Roll Burrito + Kale + Cucumbers from The Lunch Room A2.

not totally satisfied led me to an afternoon stroll to babo : A Market by Sava where i purchased HoneyDew , Grape Leaves and what i’d say is equivalent to an amateurs spinach pie.

an evening delve into a NeoPapalis North Beach Bianca Pizza ft. Figs + house Basalamic + Argula

a taste of SaladsUp1 cold pressed juice : watermelon + granny smith apple + mint

not quite vegan, a little bit raw, but 100% meatless day

Vibe On,

Chef Lshawtay

Located in The Nichols Arboretum , Ann Arbor, MI  123 acres of pure nature. I highly recommend a walk/run adventure in this sacred space. What will you find here is that nature runs far and wide , a variety of areas for resting and relaxing, stone steps and  people playing frisbee.

Photo’d an arm band of flash tats and the front side of the FTC Snapback. I was attached to the FTC shop on Haight – cuz i like to put on for my city – DETROIT.

Lean & Green  #Motivation Monday

Lean & Green #Motivation Monday

On the right : Cheers! to a Motivation Monday  with a green drink that was pressed from a central fugal juicer at the GlassBox Coffee Shop on South University, Ann Arbor, MI.  Going to this shop right when it opens in the morning is important to me because the juicer should be the least contaminated by other ingredients ( I have an oral sensitivity to certain fruits & vegetables) .

Spotted : arrow flash tats 

The flash tats featured in the photos above lasted for about a week more or less depending on the placement.

IE. when on the hands they tend to come off more quickly due to hand washing and lotion.

FlashTats are bright and cheerful – they maintain the sparkling gold , silver or bold black for quite a few days!

FlashTats spark a curiosity –  people get to talking – what are those ? where are they from? how can i get them? what did you say they were called again? who wears these besides you?

FlashTats are FUN ! they are the perfect addition to anytime you hangout with friends , are hosting/ attending a pre-game or just simply for a more FABULOUS DAY!

Cheers to Monday! 
Live from babo : a market by Sava
They have their own cold brew pump which is pretty unique to the coffee bar scene in Ann Arbor.
Get amped up for your week with a shot of espresso in addition to your morning cold brew.  Coffee improves your memory as well as keep ya living a life of longevity.
Make a goal for the week and be motivated to keep after it! Mine will be to consistent with walking 10,000 steps a day!

Do it for Detroit x Anthology Coffee x August2014

8 months deep in the goal to #doitfordetroit once a month.
I sit here and reflect back on the journeys and adventures that I have endured and experienced.
Each adventure to the D thus far has to discover and uncover art, culture and passion!
While visiting my local Juice Shop in Ann Arbor,  the glass box coffee shop, on a lovely Monday morning in the first week of August … I was enlightened with the knowledge of Anthology Coffee.   Jon informed me of the venue that serves up authentic and raw passion. He warned me to not let the exterior of the building deter me from entering the coffee house.
Dayum was he correct in my hesitation to enter the mysteriously placed Anthology.  Located off Michigan Avenue on 1410 Vermont Street , tucked away in a mural coveted building.  Construction site to your left and small rubble parking lot on your right. I hide my valuables in my chest pocket and made a quick walk for the door… it really wasn’t that sketchy just a little alone in the corner.
Anthology was a cool coffee lab…! Where the bags of beans lined the entrance, the center table hosted the cold and hot brew pour overs and a small box of the founders wife’s famous peach coffee cake. Delightfully greater upon entering,  I was asked what I’d like to have.
The two guys happened to be cold brewing an enormous fresh batch of the El Salvador beans. I waited a bit and drank my first glass while conversing with two local female art curators. Our conservation began at the sight of my Flash Tats ! ♡ obsessed with them ♡
The guys at Anthology offered me a deal of 4 bottles of cold brew in a little to go manner. I was ecstatic to watch the coffee be cold brewed, bottled and labeled before my eyes. A True Detroit made product that was filled with passion!  The local art of brewing and bottling coffee, the mural culture surrounding the place and my passion for discovering the D !! What a day!
Cheers!
