Big City Restraint

Good afternoon on this wonderful Friday!

I had a slight snag in my Glo Bakery Incorporation application. Apparently there are two corporations in Ontario called “Glo” (not sure how they can have two with the same name, but anyways…) and they asked me to fill out a 4 page document detailing why my business name “Glo Bakery” is unique.

Firstly and most importantly, the name of Glo Bakery was conceptualized via the name I created for this blog- Oh She Glows. So I explained this in my application. The two also have a similar theme- healthy eating.

Secondly, My business name Glo Bakery, is distinct from simply the corporations called “GLO”. It is clear in my business name that my business is a bakery and not some other enterprise.

Thirdly, my proposed business location is different from both of these GLO companies. If they were in the same city, I may see why it would be a problem, but alas they are not.

I hope this explanation is sufficient and will grant me approval for the incorporation of Glo Bakery! I truly love the name; it has personal significance for me (and I suspect many readers!). :)

My trip to Toronto was fun!

I got to test out my new GPS on my first road trip :D Although, little did I know that the GPS would steer me wrong! haha. Ok, it didn’t steer me wrong…I just followed the directions wrong and got a bit lost. It was HILARIOUS. I mean hilarious. It kept saying (shouting) LEFT LEFT GO LEFT, turn right in 30 metres, LEFT!!! And I started to panic a bit.

I knew I had to call Eric. It is a long-standing joke between him and a couple of his coworkers that I always call Eric LOST and desperate for help getting back on route.

Hey Toronto is a huge city….mmm kay. Don’t judge! :D

So I called him, and before he says hello he goes, ‘You’re lost aren’t you!?’

Busted. So busted.

Before I could get a word out, I started laughing so hard. I laughed so hard I was crying.

Meanwhile, in the background you could hear LEFT TURN, GO LEFT, YOU IDIOT TURN LEFT in 30 METRES!!! lmao. Ok, maybe it wasn’t that harsh, but it sure felt like it!

Only I could get lost with a GPS!

*Takes a bow* Thank you thank you, hold your applause.

But I eventually did find my way, even if I did take the scenic route!

Passing the CN Tower:

Note: Picture was taken while I was in the passenger seat and Eric was driving him to work! No I don’t take pictures when driving…LOL!!!!!!

One of my errands was hitting the mall to make a birthday gift purchase! After that, I made a beeline for Lululemon. As many of you know, Lululemon is my fav. store. I have acquired quite the collection over the years! Each year I buy just one or two pieces to add to my collection. They are expensive, but they are superior quality and last FOREVER.

This Lulu store was HUGE, probably the biggest I have seen in this area. I was in heaven. I wanted to get this jacket but I resisted. It was so comfy and REVERSIBLE! 

I seriously stood in the store for 10 mins. debating it in my mind as I ‘browsed’ around. Somehow I talked myself out of it! I am quite proud of myself. 

I sold a Lulu hoodie for $110 a couple weeks ago, so technically I had a ‘free’ lulu purchase, but something in me said “You don’t really need it“. Le sigh.

Then I went into Club Monaco and I settled for a super cute Tee that was over 60% off! Now that is what I call a budgeting compromise. :) I got it for just $19 bucks.

It has a really cute low-back to it:

One of my favourite styles is the low-back. If some of you recall my wedding dress had a beautiful Deep V back. I think a low back is sexy yet still classy.

On the way home, I snack on 1/2 of a Larabar. It kept me sane until I arrived home for lunch at 12:30pm.

Crap Free Lunch:

Healthy Valley Black Bean Organic Soup:

It is packed with protein and fibre!

I had the whole can (398 ml):

Do you see a little kitty with his scratching post?

Then I had a rock star smoothie:

I am trying to use up my wilting Kale so I had 4 organic kale leaves, 1 cup frozen pineapple, Soy Milk and 3 ice cubes. Man was it COLD!

Smoothie pour deux:

hehe just joking- of course I drank both! :)

PS- Crazy Sketchie was yawning in that pic!!

Have a great afternoon everyone! I have more Glo Bakery stuff to attend to and then more office organization. After that, I have to put together a birthday package for my sister-in-law’s birthday tomorrow. :D

PS- The awesome Ashley from Sweet and Natural gave me a Kreativ Blogger Award!!! :D

38% of you guessed right that Julia Louis Dreyfus said this quote:

“““I have a chocolate drawer in my desk where I keep treats at all times,” she admits. “As long as I can have one or two pieces, I’m fine. But my biggest food vice is bacon. And no, I don’t have a bacon drawer. In fact, I don’t keep bacon in my house—that would be way too tempting.”

See you tonight for the next Oh She Glows Contest!
