Anna Garasto ~ The Healthy Italian Goddess

I decided that I would share my effective healthy lifestyle that is influenced by my goddess energy, my Italian roots and my La Dolce Vita mindset.  Why suffer in anything you do?  I am a Libra and we are all about harmony and balance as well. I also love to research things and am very open minded so I am always tweaking and improving things.  It also doesn't hurt that I'm aging like fine wine too but I do work at it but not in a suffering sort of way.  I always do things that make me feel good and uplift my energy and spirit.  I will start going into things more and more this blog.  I will also post on my X too.  I am thinking about doing some animated videos too but it's a work in progress!  Step by step and bit by bit.  Rome wasn't built in a day!  Here is a X post I did the other day regarding the current contaminated salad situation and what I am doing now instead!   Been avoiding fresh salad lately but still making tast...

It was so lovely and I took a bunch of photos but this one was my favorite!  There was even live music and lots of food too.  We parked our car in a nearby parking garage and rode our e-scooters into the park.  It was a really great way to see all the gorgeousness!  We had to drive because we live on the other end of Toronto and it's a bit of a trek.

I love Monarch Butterflies and all other kinds of butterflies too! I love being out in nature a lot and also love seeing them as well as taking captures of them too. Recently I remembered the time we stopped in Ajax, Ontario and there were so many Monarchs it was magical! We did go back this weekend and there were still some but not a large concentration of them like before. The most were in the Ajax Meadow area so next year we will be back in the summer and late summer to check on my amazng and vibrant winged little friends. The weenend before we were at Rosetta McClain Gardens and we were blessed to see one being caught by the ladies there that were tagging them to track them on their long journey to Mexico. I spotted an existing tag so they let him go. It was a he because he had two black dots at the ends of his wings. I posted all about it on Twiter X under my @AnnaGarasto ~ Anna Garasto-I***** account so I will include those on this blog post. We were at beautiful Roset...

Friday night my husband and I noticed a big event at Mel Lastman's Square so we decided to get some Green P and check it out!  I'm so glad we did because we found a fabulous Korean Festival happening and we had such a great time.  We had some yummy Korean food and treats there too and it was so good.  We really love the Korean culture and food after years of visiting and enjoying Koreatown in Toronto.  I brought my LPS petite Blythe Doll Sophia along too and took some pictures.  The music was live there was KPop and a live DJ.  It was really wonderful and so many of us were singing and dancing.  Unfortunately there was a pickpocket incident according to the announcer and they stole a woman's phone so he advised us to be very careful.  We appreciated their honesty that probably helped prevent other thefts so we made sure to be extra vigilant.            

For two adults the general admission plus an exhibit came out to $87.00 taxes included so around $43.50 each but I felt it was well worth it.  I've been to the ROM a couple times before and it keeps getting better!  The only thing I would have changed is that we could photograph pieces in the exhibit. I do understand though because they want more people to come and don't want their treasures to be spoiled.  

I love Niagara Falls, both the Canadian and American sides.  Not only do you have one of the natural wonders of the world but the is so much amazingness there too from attractions, to parks, to restaurants and much more!  I'm so blessed to live only an hour and a half by car.  This past time we specifically went to visit two attractions and the falls.  First we went to see The Niagara Power Plant that includes the fabulous Tunnel where you can see the falls so close at a different vantage point. Then we went to the lovely Floral Showhouse too.  We only went for the day.  We then grabbed a burger at We The Fine (WTF) Burger and it was so good.  I highly recommend it all!  I've been going to Niagara since I was a baby!  My parents loved going there too.  They are originally from the South of Italy and everyone from there that visits Buffalo or Ontario or both makes it a point to visit Niagara Falls.  They definitely aren't wrong! ...
