Feline Farewells, Dragon Dreams, & Significant (Other) Updates

Is it already time to celebrate the arrival of another new year? 🐱>🐉 🤔 The Year of The Cat was an absolutely amazing, often intense, and incredibly educational journey––despite having commenced rather peculiarly/formidably. Looking back it now feels like one of the best years I’ve had in ages, possibly ever. Even in consideration of a few (then) seemingly endless difficulties faced along the way, it actually proved to be an incredibly momentous, transformational period for me––as I suppose is meant to be...

Juicy January – Healthful Habits & Reviews (part I)

Posted in Product Reviews, Random Thoughts & Inspiration | 0 comments

Please forgive the acute lateness of this post, which was meant to have gone live in time for the start of 2016. Although I have been juicing rather diligently since the beginning of the month, the passing of my absolute favourite artist just following the release of his new album (the imminent availability of which had been my sole source of consolation since the recent passing of my dear father) came as a terrible shock to me and set me into what I can only describe as a grieving tailspin relapse. Although I...

2015 Year End Update – KitchenAid Joy & A Fond Farewell

Greetings, dear ones. I humbly ask forviveness after oodles of über inactivity & virtual quietude having spanned a course of many moons. Once again, our old friend Impermanence has profoundly affected each and every aspect of my life in a relatively Earth shattering fashion. The seemingly sudden illness and subsequent loss of a parent (then handling nearly all aspects of the aftermath almost entirely on my own) has rather taken its toll on my heart and subsequent creativity/inclination to share outwardly....

Raw & Vegan Thousand Island

Thousand Island?   I always found this particular dressing to be incredibly odd, right down to the name. What exactly is it? How did it come to be known by such a strange name? Does it ever go off? Is that colour really natural? O_o Growing up in a household which may possibly have been considered to be the polar opposite of vegan, I noticed a rather strange habit my father had of persistently stocking our pantry to the gills with hos own regular “staples” (none of which ever seemed to consist of...

Corned Beetroot

Erm… WHAT and cabbage?   Strange as it may sound, I honestly had no idea what “corned beef” was, or how such a thing was made, until just a few short weeks ago. I suppose it’s possible that some morbid curiosity at the name was what led me to sit still for long enough to find out… Cheers for the cringes, Food Network! 😛 Perhaps that’s only to be expected from someone who never really engaged in consumption of such things (though I can hardly believe that my 25th...

I can’t wait to hear about how nicely your projects turn out! =) Although this particular formula has been...
