It’s been on the busy side lately, hence my brief absence of posting.  I’ve been going to three belly dance classes a week, (which I think is peachy keen), working on my garden, hiking, biking, camping and preparing for a two week excursion to Ashland, Oregon (we leave tomorrow!)  Now that we’re all packed I [...]

As the title suggests, I’ve been keeping busy lately by all the performances I’ve been doing!  It seems that once the weather warms up a bit, its non stop belly dance activity!  Here’s a list of some of the venues:  Speak Through Dance: Autism Awareness Show, SLC Sci-Fi Convention, Thia’s Wild West Show, and the [...]

One of my staples I’ve been enjoying lately is this yummy green papaya salad.  Some of you might remember it from One Week Raw.  I don’t think I ever get tired of the crunchy veggies with the almond butter sauce, and it stays good in the fridge for a long time.

Its such a simple recipe [...]

Hello all!  First off, I want to apologize for my lack of activity on KombuchaCHIC.  Life has been a whirlwind of changes and uncertainty, and now that things are finally stabilizing, I can refocus my energy here.  I want to let everyone know a little bit of what has happened in the past three months.  [...]

These are from the same event, as the last belly pics, but this is a different performance.  I’m dancing with in Troupe Wysteria, under the direction of Thia.  I’ve been dancing with Thia for the past 7 years and I’ve been a member of Wysteria for the past 4.  Dancing with them has been a [...]

Well, I’ve put this award business on the back burner for a month and now that I have another one, its time to follow through.    In February, the lovely Lauren from Ginger is the New Pink nominated me for the Kreativ Blogger Award and today I woke up and found out that cutie [...]

Before March 7, 2009, I had never danced a solo in a belly dance festival.  I’ve danced by myself at restaurants, and for friends, but never have I done a solo for such a large audience.  I’m so glad that I finally did this!  It was quite scary, but I think I did all right.  [...]

For the past 7 years, dance has been my passion.  I started taking lessons with my mother through adult community education.  Soon after, we started lessons with Thia and she is still my teacher to this day.  I have had many other teachers within this time and I will continue to always learn and hone [...]

Joe has been playing around with lighting and he’s been learning some really nice techniques. Here are a few he took that I really like.
