Now showing art by Jai Satya Kaur
In early November this lovely, young lady walked into my downtown Barrie cafe and in the softest of voices asked if we might be interested in showing other people’s art. Coincidentally it happened to be on the exact same day the art from a previous artist was going to be moving on. The timing couldn’t have been perfect! Now we are so happy that her fabulous works are gracing our walls!
Available for purchase are four paintings along with three small painted cards.
Now here’s a little bit about Jai Satya Kaur:
Jai Satya Kaur brings a warming glow to her yoga & art classes. She has been doing yoga since the age of 16 as she started her teaching journey with Kundalini Yoga which developed into a deeper passion and commitment. She completed a practitioner course on Life Styles and Life Cycles, continuing education.
Art has always been a prevailing aspect in Jai Satya’s life. It comes in flows of expression allowing creativity to dance. She completed one year of Fine Arts at Lakehead University surrounding herself with creativity allowing new chapters in her life to come up.
She has done murals for over 5 years. Murals has been one aspect that flowed with her and allowed many pieces to prevail themselves.
Golden Milk Lattes
The Lazy Tulip Golden Milk Latte
Steamed Coconut Milk with turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, pepper, coconut oil and maple syrup. Have it “Dirty” with a double shot of Planet Bean’s Stellar espresso!
I have been reading about the benefits of Golden Milk so today we decided to give one of these a try. Not only is it super healthy but it’s super delicious! Golden Milk is a great, tasty and incredibly healthy drink and the benefits are outstanding!
The main ingredient in this recipe is turmeric. It contains curcumin, polyphenols identified as the main active ingredient that is present in more than 150 potential therapeutic activities, and includes antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-carcinogenic properties. Combined with pepper, the benefits of curcumin significantly increase.
With the addition of black pepper in dishes seasoned with turmeric the bioavailability of curcumin increases by about 1000 times, and it is credited to the peppers. This means that by mixing turmeric and pepper together, the body absorption of the turmeric increases up to 2000 percent.
When turmeric and ginger are mixed with coconut oil, they become more readily absorbed by the body (one of the important features of healthy saturated fats).
We at the Lazy Tulip have decided to try it Dirty by adding a double shot of espresso to it resulting in an unbelievably delightful beverage sure to give you that boost of energy to help you get through this Barrie winter!

Art Crawl Barrie #WhoNEW?!
Printable PDF Map – Who New?! September 2014
We are excited to be a part of the Downtown Barrie Art Crawl on Saturday, September 13th from 7pm – 11pm!
The Barrie Art Crawl was first launched in April 2014. They had hoped for at least 75 people but hundreds turned out for an evening of visual art, music and food.
There are 13 downtown venues involved stretching from Maple Avenue to Mulcaster St.
Another exciting part about this crawl is that many non-art related downtown businesses have jumped on board and will be offering pop up shows that won’t be on the map. This should be an exciting night for Downtown Barrie!
The Art
Our featured artist for the event is Cynthia Blair. Cynthia is a local artist from Midland, ON. We were appropriately attracted to her painting of “Red Tulips” which is currently hanging at the cafe. Cynthia Blair’s work is strongly influenced by the rich and colourful landscapes of the Killarney, Algonquin and Georgian Bay areas. Many of her paintings are done Plein Air, no matter the weather or season. Bold, vibrant florals are also one of her familiar subjects, often creating a close-up view of the flower. Cynthia will be joining us for this evening to discuss her work.
Michelle Huggins will be featuring her photography from INDIA with her black and white full frames along with a photo slideshow on the Lazy TV.
We will also be featuring a community art mural on our patio! Everyone is invited to partake in adding their own artistic inspiration!
The Music
From 7:30 – 8:10 pm we are excited to have Todd Jeffrey of The Morals doing a solo performance set.
Todd is a local Barrie Boy who’s main gig is writer/performer for the well known Barrie band The Morals.
How our Downtown got Barrie Happy
After a brutal, long, cold, snowy, depressing winter some of the downtown Barrie business owners decided we needed to get together, thanks to Sarah Jensen, and talk about how we could bring in some new energy.
As we all know, the song “Happy” by Pharrell Williams is the hit of 2014. It’s a song full of positive energy and…well…you just can’t help but be happy and sing along to it! One day I came across this fun video of a community from Canmore, BC that was promoting their Food & Wine Festival. And then there was this overwhelming feeling that this would be a great way to promote downtown Barrie. And we did. Here it is.
