Finally, I have a moment to sit down and catch my breath.
Life has felt a bit chaotic lately. Shortly before launching the ebook–which was one month ago today!–I began a certificate program that has not only changed my perspective on nutrition, but it has reminded me what life is like to be a student again. Lectures and readings and assignments, oh my!
Mind you, this time around I also have to keep up with a full-time job, housework and a husband. On top of that, we have been doing some pretty major renovations on my house for the last two months, so I am essentially sequestered to the basement with my cats. Thankfully though, the renovations do not affect my kitchen–I just have to walk through a maze of drop sheets, drywall and tools to get to it.
Over the last few weeks, I also found time to help organize a special party for my dear friend Emily. You see, she’s getting married in a few short weeks. Being the non-traditional bride that she is, she insisted on not having any bridal showers. So, instead, a few of us decided to throw a surprise karaoke party in her honour with a large group of friends (boys included).
For the decor and food, we incorporated a few of her favourite things, which included candy, knitting, musicals, and hummus.
This was a fantastic opportunity to try out something I’ve been wanting to do for a while now.
These pretty gems were a time-consuming project, but they were well worth it. Everyone at the party raved about them. Check out this post for a video of the Martha Stewart Show where Lolo demonstates how to make them.
It’s brilliant!
They turned out absolutely fantastic!!! I’m very impressed. xo

There are various disputes about who first invented the name karaoke. One claim is that the karaoke styled machine was invented by Japanese musician Daisuke Inoue in Kobe, Japan, in 1971. After becoming popular in Japan, karaoke spread to East and Southeast Asia during the 1980s and subsequently to other parts of the world. Although the audio company Clarion was the first commercial producer of the machine they may have also invented the machine, but there is no existence of the patent.`^^;
