I love being vegan, I bake all the time, not to mention I feel really good. I am obsessed with "Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar" right now. I highly recommend it, but not if you're trying to lose weight. Even so, it does have a healthy-ish section. Ah, screw your resolutions, these are so good! My husband and friends are very happy right now and that is way more valuable than my (non-existent) waistline :). I thoroughly recommend the Peanut Butter Chocolate Pillows, Mexican Hot Chocolate Snickerdoodles (both recipes free on the Post Punk Kitchen website), and for something different the Peanut Apple Pretzel Drops are an awesome surprise. Here is a picture of these monsters in my oven last night:
I am also obsessed with all things Jellyfish at the moment. I am seriously wanting a jellyfish tattoo. I have never wanted a tattoo on my thigh, but I might have to reconsider. While I was trying to find a picture of the amazing Jellyfish in Milford Sound I found this:
Awesome. Okay, onto the next thing...Tattoos. I have been spending a LOT of time on the web looking at people and their tattoos, one place in particular is:
Sometimes Sweet - I love her Tattoo Tuesday posts. There are also a myriad of blogs links here for other tattoo obsessing.I will have to spend some time compiling my tattoo wish list and post it sometime.For now, I am really enjoying thinking about my own blog and writing without worrying too much about what people will think, why haven't I done this more often! Now I just need to work on making this blog look better. It will have to wait until I get my next proposal draft off to my supervisor and after my FIFTH ANNIVERSARY on Thursday!!!!!! We are going to Maruia Springs, a Japanese style hot spring (onsen) in Lewis Pass. I am so excited.
I have never been a great reader of blogs, not until recently. Maybe it is my current desire to escape and fantasize, but I am loving reading certain blogs at the moment for their unique writers and content that makes me darn happy (fashion, home stuff, animals, cupcakes!). I check them everyday to see what my new favourite online people are up to. In fact, I have been so inspired by what these ladies are doing with their blogs that I have put aside my dislike for my writing style and decided to give blogging another go. If for no other reason, to keep track of what I am looking at. Hope you enjoy my inspiration:The Dainty Squid - oh how many times I have laughed out loud at her cat pictures! I love the way Kaylah shares her crafty world with us. It's so nice to see another person who has bright hair and tattoos and loves to craft.Gala Darling - I am such a sucker for Gala at the moment. I have needed the little nudges of confidence that she offers up. Plus there is so much pink, shiny, pretty stuff to look at. I love clicking on "Surprise Me" and seeing what comes up. A great mix of fashion, career, links, and love. Thanks for the boost Gala!Wish Jar - Keri Smith is inspirational. I'm not an illustrator, but she makes me want to be. I have looked at the world a bit differently since I started reading her site. Check out the categories down the right side of her home page. A brilliant creative pick-me-up.Sillygrrl - "Tattooed, web designer, puppy mama, vegetarian, wannabe circus freak". Awesome!Elycia - I'm just starting to get into Elycia's blog (so many blogs, so little time) and I'm lovin' it.New Zealand Tramper - And for something completely different, a little outdoor love. I went "tramping" or hiking for the first time last weekend and as difficult as it was I really long to sleep in more huts. So now I just read about all of the walks and daydream.
