good morning! did you have a happy weekend?
we went to Tillman’s Roadhouse for dinner with friends on Saturday night. after having had a delicious experience there in December, we were really looking forward to this meal. unfortunately, I’m the only one who actually enjoyed mine. maybe an off night in the kitchen? the ambience and great company made up for the lacking food.
for me: pepita-crusted salmon served with root vegetable succotash, golden beet puree, blood orange coulis, micro “rainbow” greens. for Bee: post oak smoked pork ribs served with citrus chipotle barbeque sauce and bacon-cheddar mac & cheese.
for the table: red velvet cake – three layer cake, cream cheese icing, candied pecans, blood orange ice cream, toys. (description from the menu) and there he is, our toy:
Sunday brought a sunny morning run, an afternoon bike ride to the park for a picnic,
and an evening yoga practice & screening of The Happy Movie for a lululemon event.
big thanks to my friends at Love Grown Foods for supplying us with mini bags of LOVE for our goodie bags! always a crowd-pleaser.
“Happy is a feature‐length documentary that leads viewers on a journey
across 5 continents in search of the keys to happiness. The film addresses many of the fundamental issues we face in today’s society: how do we balance the allure of money, fame and social status with our needs for strong relationships, health and personal fulfillment? Through remarkable human stories and cutting‐edge science, HAPPY leads us toward a deeper understanding of why and how we can pursue more fulfilling, healthier and happier lives.” (source)

I know it’s in Canada, but not sure what theaters are showing it. Definitely check it out if you have the opportunity!
glad the movie was good! So great to see you and to finally meet Billy!
loved seeing you, Clare! thanks for coming. let’s get together sometime soon for happy hour.
I have not seen the film! but I am going to add it to my list! I love how you tend to get salmon when you go out to eat…that is by far, my #1 go to! WHEN we meet up when you are thisclose over in NYC, we must go out to dinner, order salmon and delicious wine. that is all

I definitely tend to get salmon at restaurants. It’s my go-to. And yes! the thought of having dinner and wine with you (and your sis!) is so exciting.
What a fun event!
I just moved to Omaha and there is a Lululemon showroom here. I will definitely have to see if they have any fun things like that!

yolie! did you really accept a job with lululemon today?? that is the most exciting news! I can’t wait to read more about it when you post on the blog. serious congratulations to you! I know how much you love the company and you already live the culture. <3
I was wondering what kind of movie event you were having / going to when I saw those lulu bags + popcorn on Instagram
how fun!
Haven’t seen the movie yet, but definitely want to.

it’s very much in line with the lululemon culture – Chip loved the documentary so much that we’re selling copies at the store!
I thought happiness was that cake, but you clearly proved me wrong. What an inspiring movie!
