@ Lenn – The coconut oil is a bit greasy but in a really unique way, it doesn’t squick me out in the same way as EVERY other greasy body butter I’ve ever used. I can put clothes on over it and they don’t get all clingy and weird. Hard to explain, but yes – it’s awesome!

@ Monika – Happy (belated – sorry!) Birthday Nina!!!

@ Kim and Mandie – Thank you, and happy new year to you too!

@ erosan – Of course! I am just so happy for you! =D

@ Minna – Yes, Happy New Year! Sounds like it’s going to be a great one for you!

@ sj – Not too personal at all. I actually do no make money off of Bonzai right now, mostly because I’m still determined not to take advertisers. I do Bonzai because I love it, and though I’m open to it becoming a source of income (that would sure help me and ultimately, really help the site grow), it’s not my primary purpose here at all. I have another job, which is more related to my degree, entirely online. So I’m mama, Bonzai blogger, and part-time employee. It’s a lot to juggle!

Hope that helps! Did you have a more specific question?

@Sayward- I actually discovered using coconut oil and lotion earlier this week as well. Flippin’ amazing, right? It’s so wonderful that after all this time of looking for the perfect skin moisturizer it was hiding right underneath my nose.

Love list:
1. Having the chance to catch up with great friends, some who traveled great distances for the holidays, and enjoy the awesome food at FUD! http://www.eatfud.com/
2. Hearing my little one’s heartbeat for the very first time at our midwife’s. (Still can’t believe he or she is actually in there just growing and changing with every day that passes. It’s pretty much the raddest thing ever!)
3. The homemade baby blanket that was crafted by my loving aunt. What a great Christmas present!

Love list!
1. Ringing in the new year with my family of choice.
2. Being OUT of my roach infested studio and into a house practically on campus!
3. My amazing bf and how far we’ve come together. I love spending my life with my best friend!

I have a thought! I’ve wondered, esp after your gala*darling interview, if you’d be willing to divulge a little more explicitly HOW you make money off of this! I want to know how on earth you’ve made this life for yourself where you do what you love AND you make money from it too! It seems too good to be true! But at the same time I understand if it’s too… personal? I know money can be a touchy issue with ppl, and some ppl feel it’s too private of a topic to be discussed. But I guess just know you’ve sparked my interest and I LOVE reading EVERY single post of yours! :-) My life has been enriched through your blog, and really, through your life!

Yes, coconut oil, yes! I’ve been using that stuff in baking, as body butter, make-up remover, burn reliever, massage oil etc. <3 it!

1. My new tiny apartment straight in downtown (woohoo!) and knowing how awesome it's going to be when I'm fully settled in!
2. 2011, a magical year, which is all about positive and productive energy, hard working and achieving goals.
3. *Love* in its beautiful various forms.

Happy-happy new year, everyone!

@Sayward: Awww, my baby is in your love list! that is awesome!

My love list looks almost exactly like my last week’s list:
1. My baby
2. My girlfriend
3. Great friends

@Kim: you are not alone, BA is multi-ethnic, multi-cultural and multi-dietarian. I fall in the same category as you do, omni but food lover who loves this community.

First, I want to second Kim in thanking you for your enthusiasm and optimisim. You always give me something to look forward to (no pressure!) On to my love list…

1. My husband. Every day I realize that I TOTALLY stepped in shit finding him. Even luckier that he persued me, because I wasn’t looking at the time.
2. My optimism. Comes in handy.
3. Gin and tonics! WHOOOO!
