Monday Love

The skies are grey and I've got a steeping hot cup of english breakfast right next to me. This is the first 'real' blog post after rebranding from Eats by As to La Petite Asiyette, and it feels so good to be on a fresh new website! I hope you are all navigating with ease. If you have any suggestions or find any errors, feel free to let me know! I'd love to hear from you.

Today I'm speaking a little bit about #MondayLove. I first began using this phrase over at the @lapetiteasiyette Instagram. Every Monday, a cloud of negativity would pass over the day and I found it increasingly more difficult to enjoy my own Monday after reading all the negative commentary. Odd competitions would surface, with folks comparing things like who had gotten the fewest hours of sleep, or who had the biggest under eye circles.

I knew one thing for sure -- this negative trend had no place on my feed.

So every Monday, I make it a point to show myself a little more love. To treat myself. Don't just slice the banana, Asiya, caramelize it. Add dried persimmon and cookie crumble? But of course.

There is simply no way you can have a bad Monday morning when you've started it by treating yourself to something special.

More on this later. Feel free to explore the new site!
