Restaurant 13: Indian Fusion, The Curry House


Last night Brendan and I decided to try out this small Indian restaurant by my house called Indian Fusion, The Curry House. We were in for a surprise!

The food was fantastic (by far some of the best Indian I have had in Edmonton), and it was really reasonably priced. We ordered paneer makhni ($12.95), mixed vegetable curry ($10.95), some naan and saffron rice, along with a masala chai to drink. The whole meal (besides the naan for Brendan) was gluten free and vegetarian.

If you are looking for a good quality meal for a reasonable price definitely try out The Curry House.

Location: 10322 111 Street (Oliver), Edmonton

My Life: Climbing Ha Ling Peak


Over the May long weekend I went to Canmore, Alberta with Brendan and a couple of friends. Our Saturday adventure turned out to be climbing the Ha Ling Peak (7900 feet up!) of Mount Lawrence Grassi. It took us about four hours round trip, not bad considering I thought it was going to be five! By the time we scrambled up to the top I was dead, but it was well worth the beautiful view of Canmore and the surrounding mountains. The only problem is ... now I have encouraged Brendan to climb more mountains!

Would you do it?

Manor House Stables



Not only do I love when people convert untraditional buildings into homes, but I also love when they do it right. Manor House Stables uses a simple aesthetic along all while highlighting the natural beauty of the raw wood inside. What a beauty.

Store 10: Everylane





For the last year I have been yearning for a these three items from Everlane (thank goodness they now ship to Canada so I can buy them). Everlane is great because they make beautiful, but affordable, staple pieces. Really, who wouldn't pay $15 for a great t-shirt?

I think the greatest things about Everlane though are the fact that they cut out the middle man, spend an incredible amount of time worrying about good design, and use the best factories they can find. All three of these things are so important!

Video 68: Time-Lapse | Earth by Bruce W. Berry Jr



This video by Bruce W. Berry Jr blows your mind away. The time-lapse was taken from the International Space station by astronauts on board. I love looking at earth from space!

My Life: My 23rd Birthday


Over the weekend I had my 23rd birthday, including a great party. I decided to have a New York City themed party and it turned out really great. We had 'stations' (like the subway) for candy, drinks, and food. We also had New York themed food, which included hotdogs, popcorn, roasted nuts, and pretzels. Overall, the weekend was fantastic and I'm happy I got to spend it with my family and friends.
