I tried all the vegan soft serve in Ottawa

I tried all the vegan soft serve in Ottawa. I probably missed a few but I did try a lot of them. I have lived in Ottawa for two years and I was still transitioning from vegetarian to vegan when I moved here. I don’t remember having a lot of soft serve in Vancouver when I did eat dairy. I only remember having it at McDonald’s and buffets. I didn’t even know vegan soft serve was a thing until I moved to Ottawa. I tried six places The Merry Dairy, Oddburger, Little Jo Berry’s, Chocolate Favouris, IKEA, PastelXCoco, and 2 bonuses dole whip from Cinnaholic and the plant based dilly bar from Dairy Queen. I also went to Mavericks but they have been having supply issues and the soft serve is currently not vegan. Let me know if I missed any and maybe I’ll update the post in the future.  The Merry Dairy was the first vegan soft serve I had in Ottawa. I remember thinking I had to wait in line to get into the store only to learn soft serve was at the truck with no line. I was super excited that I

Week of February 19 2017 Bridal Shower, Vegetable Soup, and Tiramisu

Today I went my cousins bridal shower. My younger cousins are starting to get married now and the people who threw the shower had never even attended a bridal shower before. It was very well done for a first time party. This was a tame party as family was involved. It was a house party with take out Thai food and very nice cakes made by another cousin I wish I got a picture. The games revealed that the couple have a lot to learn about each other even though they have known each other for fifteen years. I won a prize for getting the most answers right on whether the bride or groom said certain answers. It's kind of interesting that I won because I have only met the groom to be once for a few minutes and I don't spend very much time with my cousin as she is much younger than me. Anyways yeah I won this great prize package. I count this as my first win for 2017. The nailpolish and kisses were a party favour but the rest was the prize. Earlier in the week I went to the dentist

A quick update on my life work drama and things I can't blog about have been taking up all my time and then the guest blog about pie. I finished the beachbody challenge and will be getting a few dollars probably $20 or so not bad as it did help me lose a couple of pounds. I am on to the next challenge  which is just to win prizes but I find this one harder as it requires doing any workout for 30 days straight. It's only been two days and I almost missed one but didn't so I will be happy if i do make it through the 30 days I am doing a variety as there is so much on beachbody on demand. I tried yoga booty ballet today and really like it. This week I went to see a play at Capilano college Fawlty Towers it was for my mom's birthday and she liked the tv show. I thought the play was really good it was 90 minutes but went by really quickly. I also ate at Marcello's pizza which I have never been to before. It was a true Italian restaurant was very good had a taste of pizz
