Owwweeee I'm vibin while writing this post right now. Eryaku badu " Window Seat" causing my cranium to bob back and fourth. Her music does something to my soul. Oldie but goodie ( inserts prayer hands )

Ok so I thought it would be appropriate to always start my entries with what I am going through followed by what Peace and I did for the day. I mean, I am still Fee but I am also a mom... Even though we were at the ice cream shop doesn't mean that I wasn't having my own personal thoughts as a human being. Moms have their lives too lol . People tend to forget that, especially the mamas that have independence burning at their core.

One thing about being a young"er" mom is that you are kind of forced to figure yourself out. Well not necessarily forced but if willing and open to change the shit comes super fast! Right when I thought I had it all figured out, I swear I found out I knew nothing lol. The journey of life has many emotions attached to it. Many trials, blessings, a mix of things. Having a child  forces me to look in the mirror and mold myself and my life how I would want it to be. What truly makes me happy? What are some things I can get rid of? What should I practice for balance? What are some childhood problems  I may still need to face now that I have my own child? Its all a journey and I am constantly reminded that. One thing I am learning is to be patient on this damn thing lol. Just being in the moment as much as possible. Doing lots of cool artsy stuff and just trying to get out of my own way! Lets do this together :) 

 

On this day Peace Bear and I went to one of my favorite ice cream spots! Sweet Rose Creamery While I was pregnant I ate here very often. Maybe too often lol. Shit, 60lbs later I started to roll my eyes at this place whenever I drove by lmbo. The evolution of a human is hard to wrap my mind around. One day Im feeding my baby ice cream through an umbilical cord, than 11 months later, I am feeding her the same ice cream from a spoon. Im a deep thinker if you haven't been able to tell ha!

 Peace loved this place! So much to were her little butt got a brain freeze as you can see lol! The flavors are amazing! We had coconut flavor, so creamy and fresh! They make their own ice cream which is really cool. The setting is super cute, they are family friendly so it was nice to see Peace scream at the other kids trying to get their attention. So friendly lol! Great way to cool down being that LA has been insanely hot lately! Park across the street if you even want to just stroll after. Try as many samples as you want ( vegan options too ;)) Sometimes when Im in my mind too much getting away to get ice cream eases me. Pay attention to things that lower your stress levels and do more of that. Thank for swinging by :))

Vegan Beer & Food Festival 2015

Felicia LaTourComment

Vegan Beer and Food Festival 2015 was a hit! As you all know I am a newly vegan and I love the community. It naturally brings in healthy fun people with big smiles ready to drink unlimited beer. All of my friends bought the $80 VIP ticket and by the time I went to purchase mine they sold out BUT it was ok. My ticket was $50 which comes with unlimited pours of beer as the VIP does. The only difference literally was VIP has private restrooms. I saved $30 and still did everything with them. There are a big amount of food vendors as wells beer vendors. Oh and the grass at the Rose Bowl is GORGEOUS so bringing a blanket to sit and vibe out to the music was one of my favorite parts! I snagged a few pics before we stuffed our faces and I'll @ each of the places we received the food from and what the item is below! Enjoy!!!!

This little fella was a "burger" from Real Food Daily @officalRFD . It was pretty good, made out of Beets, lentil, and mushrooms. It had a sauce on it which I think needed to be added a little more being that the bread is thick it needed more moisture. Oh and it was topped with arugala & caramelized onions! 

This one was probably my friends favorite! Mac & Cheese  Grilled cheese! Yum and the tater tots on the side were such a good touch to balance out the cheese! This was from The Grilled Cheese Truck @grlldcheesetruk
