A little late, but! I shared that vegan myths video a few weeks back to a club at my school (veggie might! is our name, haha) and they all thought it was hilarious, score! And Leslie Hall is fantastic, I’ve been sharing her around since you first posted that video, hilarious! My friend is thinking about asking her to make some spandex outfits for our circus club, hopefully it happens!
I’m loving:
1. My hair! My dreads are a little over 1.5 years now and I love them more all the time. I’ve been at the beach every day this past month and I can feel how happy they are to be in the salt water, tightening up and getting blonder! And they’re getting longer, yes!
2. Living a ten second walk away from a bakery and getting a fresh, warm, out of the oven loaf every morning, then walking five seconds to the fruit/veggie/nut place that our friends own. Umm, my life is complete.
3. Greek! I’m trying to be fluent again like I was as a kid, and it’s really encouraging to have people tell me I’m speaking well and helping me when my grammar is off.

Just wondering what happens when you click the link to my zerowastelifestyle blog in my comment above? My blog is about environmental awareness about household waste-I get another site when I follow the link in the above comment. Would you mind deleting my comment if you get a non-environmental site with that link? Might be my computer that has picked up a weird link?
Thanks
Sonja

Dear Sayward, as you are my one stop shop for all things vegan please could I ask your advice about vegan omega 3, 6, 9 sources. Do you have a list of top omega foods/supplements that you eat/take regularly? We are in a(slow) phase of transition to a vegetarian/vegan diet in our family and I am looking for future alternatives to fish.
PS:Guess what, I am also a South African Bonzai reader but I now live in Portugal-hello SA readers!

Love list!

1. Since there is someone from South Africa reading your blog, I feel it necessary to mention my love for 7de Laan. It is a South African soap opera. It is awesome. I started watching it when I was in Cape Town for three weeks last summer, and now I watch it on SCOLA. I think if it were an American show or in English I would be absolutely uninterested in it, but for some reason, I’m hooked! Plus it gives my husband a chance to practice Afrikaans, he doesn’t get much opportunity for that in the US. :-P

2. My new toothbrush. I’ll tell ya’ll more about my new toothbrush at the end o’ the month.

3. My new flannel toilet “paper.” Dude, what took me so long?! IT IS SO SOFT!!!! MY VAGINA REJOICES!

4. That song up there. Jeeze. It is going to be stuck in my head for all of eternity.

Oh my gosh, Leslie Hall is vegan! Rock on! Yeah, as “L” mentioned, I noticed some significant slim down action while checking out her newer videos. Hmmm. I’d like to hear her vegan story!

My love list:

1. My new cat, Elvis! My neighbors had to move and couldn’t take him, so we took him in. I had to put my cat of 13 years down last year and didn’t think I was quite ready yet, but, man is it nice to have a furry lil feller around again:)
2. My natural hair color. I’m finally embracing it! Seeing my features and hair color on my baby girl has really given me a new outlook on my natural beauty.
3. The spirulina and cashew organic live food bar made by Raw Revolution. Sooooo yummy! I just ordered a whole case.

Hooray for the weekend! Hope everyone has had a great week, and has an even greater weekend. Hmmm, quick ponder on what shall be on my love list this week…

1. Talking to my mum. Recently she’s been caught up with her awesome new job, awesome new husband, and awesome new life in general, and unfortunately we weren’t talking much. That changed back for the better this week, as we’ve been talking heaps. Hooray! Have missed her heaps.

2) FarMar. Today is our monthly local farmer’s market (just a block from my apartment, yay!), and since I’ve been living off supermarket veg for the last week (ick!), I’m super excited to get down and see what seasonal goodness they’ve got this month.

3) Deadlines. Yes, I’m a bit weird. They stress me out, but I love a good challenge, and working toward that goal. fingers crossed I make it though!

4) Trying get through to my housemates on all the waste they produce. I’m a low plastics, low waste in general type of person, so for this months MMM, I decided to educate others, and in the process try to cut our whole households footprint (instead of just mine).

Well, Selina gave a couple ideas that are additions to my love list!
1. A couple of my friends have been incorporating veg meals into their meat/dairy laden diets thanks to yours truly :)Makes me feel awesome to know people are open-minded and we can make a difference!
2. My little sister. She is lending me another one of her dresses tonight so i can look pretty for a wedding without having to go out and buy something to wear. (I borrowed a different one for a wedding two weeks ago!)
3. My 2 year veg anniversary was this week. I am beyond thankful for the events that led to this amazing change in my life.
4. My baby is walking! I forgot how awesome it is to watch your child begin to walk. How I forgot in just 1.5 yrs, I don’t know–but I did. I am loving watching Harper with her little pigtails get the hang of the walking business.
Happy weekend everyone!!
P.S. Jealous of Portland’s veg-friendly events! Someday, I will organize a Minneapolis based Veg Society :)

Hey everyone, This weekend I will be making my FAV snack of all time. I learned it at a workshop with Matthew Kenney the once owner of NY nPure Food and Wine before he split with Sarma. It’s addicting, the snack that is. You can find the recipe at my site http://africainside.org/ as my latest post named “Nuts on Safari”. Enjoy.
