One of a Kind Show

Hello,

On Saturday, March 31st, 2012 I went to the "One of a Kind" spring show that is held in Toronto.  It was really interesting.  I have been going for about 4 years now and really enjoy looking at the handmade pieces.  The handmade crafts are said to be one of a kind, everything is original and handmade.  As a knitter I can really appreciate the amound of work it takes to put handmade piece together and I really admire all the talent that I saw that day.  I did not buy anything this time around but in previous years I bought a few monster related items like the collin plush monster and a monster keychain.
I took some photos at the show.  I was not allowed to take photos of any of the handmade items sadly and got caught taking photos at the main display section (oops!) Here is what I managed to get for you:

to show off the most important pieces.

Thank you for visiting!  I had a great time and I am glad that I could share a bit of the experience with you.  Have any of you been to the one of a kind show? and what did you buy this year or in other years?

Runner's eats

Some things runners eat and drink and why according to runnersworld.com

Eggs: whole eggs helps control appetite.  Egg protein is easy for your body to absorb, which makes it a good muscle-repair food.

Blueberries Researchers believe anthocyanidins in blueberries are responsible for the protective benefits.

Chocolate milk ( I like this one)  to follow long workouts. And the reason is that you gain more lean muscle and lose more body fat because of the milk’s protein.

Fruits and vegetables- healthy! fills you up with less calories.

Seeds and food made from seeds- packed with protein and essential fats, bioactive compounds, such as phenolic compounds and ferulic acid, which act as antioxidants.

Dairy - dairy provides runner's with protein to help them to heal and make a speedy recovery.

I will be eating more of these things to get the right runner's diet to be fit and healthy for my next run!

take care,
