Chair massage
November 12, 2006
I have horribly stiff shoulders. My yoga studio had a little 10 min. chair massage going on today and my masseuse told me that the stiffness comes from all the way down my spine…
Is it because I’m always infront of the PC? Is it stress? (what stress?!) Or is it bad posture?! Humm…. in either case, I’m yearning for a full-body massage soon!!!

My Spiritual Calling
November 7, 2006
Yesterday, I made a very big decision that I would probably look back for years to come. I wanted to share this with you and hopefully it will inspire and give you all the courage to follow your heart. After all, life is way too short to contemplate on “what you want to do”. Go out there and go for it!
Mmmm…

I’ve a new found love for Roast Chicken! In Japan, we hardly ever roast anything as a whole, but here, it’s pretty common, right? Not only is it tasty but it’s so easy and fun!
This year, we’re making our first real Thanksgiving dinner and I’m already SOO excited! My husband makes these unbelievable roast turkey with Picadillo stuffings (a slight Cuban twist) and I’m going to be in charge of the gravy, cranberry sauce, and apple pie! Can’t wait!

Happy Halloween!
October 31, 2006
On Saturday night, I went to an amazing house party in Miami Beach. It was a very grown-up, yet, funky and playful party with fun people from various difference backgrounds, cultures and awesome costumes!
I haven’t been to many Halloween parties since becoming an adult (yes, I am Japanese afterall), but this night was definitely one to remember. Everyone mingled, with some great DJing under a warm beautiful Miami night… what more could you ask for?!

Wine Lovers
October 11, 2006
My husband and I both love wine. We especially have a special love for French wine because “France” was what brought us together! For those wine lovers out there, hope you enjoy this one!
Detox
October 2, 2006
I’ve decided to fast for a couple of days. Me? Fasting? Yeah… it’s tough when you LOVE food, but it was much needed since my return from Spain.
I only drink water and herb tea for today and tomorrow. I’m allowed to introduce some soft fruits, but I might just go without anything until Wednesday night. We’ll see how it goes… wish me luck!

Bad Timing?
September 22, 2006
Why do bad things seem to happen all at once? Before you have time to recooperate, you’re just bombarded one after the other 
But I guess that also goes for good luck, right? Can’t wait for THAT to come around…

Scary Story
September 15, 2006
- I just heard the SCARIEST story from my Yoga instructor today -
She told me that in this small Spanish town’s cemetery, they found buried bodies only half decomposed vs. being fully decomposed.
The reason? You guessed it! With all the preservatives that we are are eating these days, the bodies couldn’t decompose fully…
Something to think about, huh?

!Mi Familia!
September 14, 2006
Half of my husband’s family fled to Spain from Cuba after Castro took over. So after all these years, I ended up having my wish come true - being part of a Spanish family. I have officially become their first Japanese relative and they were all ecstatic to meet me! I never dreamt that marrying a Cuban-American from Miami would give me a whole set of European families. Life is full of wonderful surprises, isn’t it?!
Jamon Iberico
Has been the talk between my Japanese gourmet friends. I had no idea that it was from Spain, but when I was there last week, I made sure I ate lots of it!
Doing some research, I realized it’s only been recently that importing it to the US has been approved. I wonder how much they go for…
