My amazing friends Crystal and Anth from @thehealthypatch are doing incredible things! We met a few years back when I was MC at a health and wellness expo, and they’d just launched their Healthy Patch vegie patches. We got talking. Me, a total novice and plant killer, but super keen. Them, passionate about teaching everyone how to grow their own produce and reap the benefits from the earth. Now, they’ve put it all together in a video series for you to learn some nuggets... sign up over at their website: https://ift.tt/2F9NsnB and as I’ve been largely offline and traipsing overseas I’m super late to the party! Sign up for bucket loads of vegie wisdom! https://ift.tt/2qBlfvI

My personal blender has saved us on these last couple of holidays. When I first got my @thermomixaus a decade ago, I almost took it away on our honeymoon to Hawaii. Then when I got my @vitamix_aunz I almost packed that and took it to Europe. Alas, both are way too big and heavy. But since having a bub, I need it more than ever to blend his food and smoothies, to make my own, and to purée soup on nights when that’s all I want! And at the moment, I’m addicted to Matcha Frappes. Thanks Japan for the inspiration, the history lessons, the language challenges, the relaxation, the excitement. You’ve been the most amazing country and we can’t wait to come back. 🇯🇵 https://ift.tt/2F7S6lS

Dare I say the first raw vegan magnum ego was this one? You can tell by the awful ‘shit on a stick’ shape as who could buy magnum mould way back in 2012?! These Golden Playtime Pops are making a comeback- featuring in my ‘It’s a Very Vegie Christmas’ eBook (available only once a year- watch for release date this week!) and I can’t wait to make them again! #vhchristmas https://ift.tt/2RCCNTN

Am feeling so far removed from Home at the moment that I forgot it was the worst day of the year - the #melbournecup. Seriously, people are still betting, dressing up, watching, participating in this antiquated industry of cruelty? It’s fucking 2018. Move on people. Animals are NOT ours to exploit. Over here in japan I’ve seen a number of ‘owl cafes’ and ‘cat cafes’. Cats... I kind of get. They’re a domesticated animal and are a companion. But owls? Nocturnal hunting creatures need to be asleep during the day. Not wide awake and kept in confined cafes. No animal should suffer in any place. https://ift.tt/2qvDnY5

There’s only enough space on these to write a small wish or blessing. One sentence. Mine have all been along the lines of ‘may my son and family be happy and healthy’, or ‘may we see true world peace happen’. What would yours say? https://ift.tt/2qkhNWj

Just a few of the snacks that I’ve found (and tried to decipher!) that are all vegan. It is SUPER hard here - very basic snacks have got ingredients like pork fat (found in so much here!) or fish in some form. It is exhausting worrying about it. Going to pretty much any Ryokan is impossible (and it’s sucks as I really want to sit on the floor and eat traditional food!) and the only places that we’ve gone have been 100% plant based or have a separate menu. We’ve booked in a special Shojin Ryori (Buddhist temple cuisine) which will be 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻. On the upside, plenty of veg friendly places do exist. It just takes planning. So instead of just rolling into any restaurant with your tummy growling, we have to catch a few trains, walk a bit and I just take a few snacks with. The pistachio milk was nice, the @beyondtofu is incredible, and the soyjoys are pretty sweet- only a bite for me! If you are planning a trip here, see my previous posts, and definitely get an @airbnb with a kitchen. This has been our saviour! https://ift.tt/2zfwf5S

If ever there was a night where I wish I had my whole fridge and pantry with me it’s tonight! Craving some home cooked food BAD. Even with this airbnb apartment in Tokyo that has a very functional kitchen, it’s just not the same. I’ve managed to get by in the supermarkets and markets - sticking to the fruit and veg section, using the google translate app to decipher labels, and asking for help where I can! Today I stumbled across an international food store AND a macrobiotic health food store so stocked up on basic noodles, almond butter (BEEN CRAVING), rice crackers, pasta and some basic spices. If only there was a way you could pay extra for @airbnb to sort out your kitchen basics for you... (hey Airbnb Call me let’s chat and I’ll do it for ya)! Eating out in japan has been hard for me. Even very basic food like miso has shrimp or fish in it, and Im not a rice or seaweed gal. Have been heavily reliant on my happy cow app, and google, as well as the little vegan card I shared a few posts back. But most of our meals have been at home, or made at home for us to take when we’re out and about. Preparation is 💣. What’s your best travel tip? https://ift.tt/2R5tJGO

The loveliest rooibos iced tea at @botanist_tokyo (a cafe above a beauty store... pretty much a dream!) 💕💕💕 https://ift.tt/2PfI5qH

When you have your own businesses (and a kid!) it’s never really a holiday. But it is a very welcome change of scenery, and a change of scenery gets the creative juices flowing! Up in our loft in Japan, on tatami mats, I’ve sat, read, written and dreamed. Oh 2019 is going to be a great year. I’ve got my light as a feather AMD powered @lenovoanz Yoga 530 and itchy feet. Bring on the last part of 2018! 👌🏻💕🇯🇵 https://ift.tt/2S8ABVl

Pimping some @ts_tantan_jp cup noodles tonight, with fresh cabbage, carrot, shelled edamame and tofu. An easy night in for us after an epic day exploring (and bub popping another tooth. What are the chances?). I would import these noodles if I could! https://ift.tt/2QXZEZJ

Happy birthday to my little blondie! How are you one already? Stop getting bigger (but please grow big)! I love you 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕 https://ift.tt/2CtkY5q
