What is a Ayurveda and How can I find out my Dosha?

-
I'll just tell you what my dosha is, it's Pitta.

Dosha is a term used in India to tell who you are: It can be our physical, well-being and mental stresses.

It's commonly used as a practice from the India's Vedic culture and talks about really balancing the minds of spirit, body and what your brain process.

There are 3 types of dosha's, Pitta, Vata, and Kapha. I'll tell you what they mean:

Pitta: Elements of Fire and Water
Vata: Reflecting the elements of Space and Air
Kapha: Water and Earth


Anywho, if anyone wants me to see my final reaction that I'm a Pitta, my response would be:
"That's really nice, I never knew that I have that element of fire and water. I'm a nice, generous person and never in my life that I would've guessed Pitta, I was quite shocked."

There is this tea brand called, Tetley, who has really good tea, has a quiz on what type of Dosha are you? Pitta? Vata? Kapha? Leave in the comments below on what you have and don't forget to try their teas! Especially the new line called, Ayurvedic Balance teas.

I tried Vata, and it was really calming and soothing once I was done with my tea. I felt very calm and energized and I hope it helps you too.

Here's the link you want to see what your Dosha is:

Thank you, Tetley, for making this quiz and your tea!

2024

As 2024 draws to a close, I want to wish everyone love this Holiday Season.  This year, I had been hit with several rejections, failures, and breakable moments. Some of wish I'll share below.  I remember coming into this year with hopefulness, glee and the excitement for whats to come. The place I'll go, the people I'll meet and other things that excite me.  That wasn't the case this year. I took out a loan from a loaner company back in 2023, because I needed to pay off the expenses from that year; food, vacations, etc. I had this mindset of 'You only live once, live it while you're young'. That mentality cost me everything. I took out a personal loan thinking I'll pay it all back with the amount they'll give me.  After looking at my bank accounts, I realized I needed to do something about it.   Also, the anxiety of telling your parents and loved ones, confessing to this situation and releasing all the tension and scarcity is painful. Not realizing t...

Ella Clarens "The Come Up"

Ella Clarens is a great friend of mine who we used to work at Nordstrom in 2021.  Oddly enough, we met at different departments, she was working at a different department and I was working as a Holiday Village - creating custom-made Santa bags, selling ornaments, replenishing items, and don't get me started on how many gift wrappings we would need to do by December 24th. It was insane!  I met her because when my department wasn't busy, I usually talk with her about life, work, and her passions.  Picture from: Freddy from Ego Eros Studios Lately, I found out that she is also a musician who released a couple of songs, "ELLANATION", "BIRTHDAY PARTY", and in December 2021, "ICONIC".  Nowadays, she writes her own newsletter which talks about her music, life and her past as a reporter for the Calgary Herald. Also, she spotlights on different people from around Toronto, showcasing talent and interviewing people.  Sign up for her newsletter here:  https://...

First Electric Streetcar in Canada

On May 3rd, I wanted to check out this wonderful (and free!) Museum with a coffee shop nearby, and you would not believe where the first Canadian Electric Streetcar took place in.  Windsor, Ontario. Yes, Windsor, Ontario was the first-ever Electric streetcars that we 'in-use' in Canada. This was back in the mid-1800s, more specifically in 1886.  First Electric Streetcar in Canada Once the city decided to refurbish the vintage streetcars that were used, they coated in fresh paint, updated signs; hanging billboards that were used back in the 60's, and all signs and keep maintenance at bay. They were focusing on making it, not only keeping it looking like a nostalgic piece of work, they tried to innovate the streetcar.  They placed it on a track, with heavy equipment and careful delicacy to ensure the parts are kept in pace, they can reopen it in for all Windsorites (aka city of Windsor citizens) and the rest of the world to open. Me with the streetcar The background behind ...
