Author: HappyEnki
I hope I come across as an interesting person. I love reiki and other forms of healing, cooking, crystals and baking. I am constantly working on crafts and projects such as painting, felting, and knitting. I feel like I am still looking for my happiness in life. My life purpose. Isn't that what we are all looking for. I don't mean happiness as friends and loved ones since I have plenty of those. I mean career wise. You can see my journey through my blog as I explore my culinary passion.

Review: The Workshop Vegetarian Cafe
Vegetarian food. Oh vegetarian food. I have a weird relationship with you. Some times you are good and some times not so much. I am always skeptical when I try vegetarian food, especially when they have a meat version that is sooo good. And you know how I like my ramen. I mean how can…
