lunch with a kindred spirit

Sunday, I had the awesome pleasure of meeting miss Nicole of NiccisNiftyEats!

We met at an awesome cafe which is attached to a great whole foods store in our area. Both of us have shopped here before, but never ventured into the cafe.

As their menu is online, I had a chance to decide what I wanted before I arrived.

I had a turkey and basil pesto Panini (with no cheese) which was also loaded with veggies like tomatoes, artichokes, and spinach. The bread was really, REALLY good.

I also enjoyed a cup of carrot juice!

As I was snapping a shot of my eats, I looked up and smiled as I saw this:

I knew we’d hit it right off.

I’d never met Nicole before, but have thoroughly enjoyed reading her blog. When I found out we lived in the same town… I knew a meet up was in order.

After escaping lunch on the beautiful patio without being stung by one of the many bees, we retreated inside and checked out some of the artwork on display in the cafe.

As we meandered through the market, I spotted my bff… silk holiday flavors… this is pumpkin spice, but I’m sure I’ll kill several silk nogs before the end of the season.

I also picked up some amazing grass, and almond butter packs,

and Nicole and I decided to be BRAVE and try synergy KOMBUCHA!

all in all a splendid time was had by all, and I’m stoked to have a new IRL buddy to workout with and try new things!

You rock girlie!
