My first month of smoothies has been an awesome adventure. I have not missed a day which is actually really impressive for me. Whenever I have started a challenge in the past I usually don't last more than 2 weeks before I just slip and don't get back on track. I am very proud of myself so far and I am actually having...
The weekend before Christmas we decided to have a last minute mini getaway. It was absolutely perfect! My husband and I joined some friends and headed down to a beach shack at Myponga Beach. If you haven't heard of this place before, it is incredible. I absolutely loved it. Myponga Beach was only about 45 minute drive from my house BUT it felt...
December has been a very interesting month so far. I was recently given a vegan smoothie book that my daughter thought I might like as she no longer needed it. The book is by Kathy Patalsky and is called '365 Vegan Smoothies'. Guys, honestly this book is so cool. As soon as I flipped through I knew I was in for...
It has been quite a while since I have posted on here. I really love blogging and it always makes me happy when I actually get it done but lately I just haven't been able to find the time. I am going to make it my new goal to try and blog at least twice a week. Now that I have finally managed...
As I write this it is 1am on Saturday morning and I am rugged up on the couch watching Come Dine With Me with cough syrup, honey and lemon tea, tissues and a thermometer. Here's the deal. I stopped being vegan a couple weeks ago and since then I have been constantly sick. I have caught everything that is going around. My menstrual...
Okay folks! Things got serious this week when a new shop opened at my local shopping complex right next to my house. I do all of my shopping there every few days and now they have opened up a tiny Vietnamese Place. Which means that I can now go and get tofu Banh Mi's (vietnamese rolls) so much more frequently!! Excitement overload! Here...
Life is turning some more corners yet again. The last couple of days I have been looking at different pathways to take for my future. I still haven't decided on anything concrete but I am definitely looking at a whole bunch of alternatives. The fact that there are so many options that I would love to explore gives me so much excitement. My...
The most important thing for helping make most dishes that extra fantastic and tasty is the sauce or dressing that you use. I spend a lot of my time in the kitchen just throwing all sorts of flavours together but I do also have a few go-to recipes for sauces, dressings and dips that I absolutely love and use very frequently. Today I...
Don't label yourself guys. I don't like labels. I have mentioned this many times and I just think labels suck. Am I vegan?? No but most of the time I eat a vegan based diet. Other times very minimally I eat some toast with honey on it. One day.........I went out for lunch with a friend and the food I ordered had some...
10 September 2008. I went on my first date with my now husband. Our first date was a cinema date to see the new comedy at the time, Tropic Thunder. Such a funny movie and the start of a wonderful new life. 8 years later and we are happily married and on our way through an amazing adventure together. We have so many...
Guys it is basically official. I hate meat! For my 30 day challenge I was going to go back to eating meat.....occasionally. Well I just can't stomach it anymore. It makes me feel blah for my tummy. I don't feel any benefits health wise. I don't have more energy eating it and in all honesty I kind of prefer the vegies now. YAY!...
Lots of nutrition reading has been happening in my house this week. I am really enjoying all the research and I think it is really important to learn what we are actually putting into our mouths. Nutrition is incredibly important. I am hoping to be able to share more with you guys as I learn. It can still be hard sometimes when there...
Oh my! Today was a glorious day. Day two of my thirty day challenge was just B-E-A-utiful!!! It was a gorgeous 25 degrees in Adelaide and the sun was shining brightly. I managed to get outside and enjoy the garden. My husband and I got out in the front yard and got some much needed weeding done and then I enjoyed some sunshine...
This morning I woke up with a brand new outlook on life. My new 30 day challenge is just one of the things I am working on in my journey to wellness. I am also researching into the whole minimalism way of living. I can see so many great things coming up for the future. Make sure you all stay tuned on the...
The last six months of my life have been a crazy ride. I have been vegan and mostly loving it but there have been parts of me that still have questions. I have never felt better since adopting the vegan lifestyle. I feel like I have a bit more energy, I no longer get mega migraines and in general I feel better. However...
