kumara, squash & black bean enchiladas! don’t let anyone tell you being #vegan is expensive! all up this whole meal cost around $10 (and most of that went on the avocado 😅🥑). sooooo filling — we only had two each and couldn’t eat any more, so looking forward to leftovers! 🌱❤️ #plantbased #veganasfuck #veganfoodshare #veganfoodporn #crueltyfree #cleankai #healthyfood

back on that #selfcare buzz. giving my locks some love with @dirtyhippienz goodies from @locticiannz… been wanting to try these for ages. so worth it! the hemp & kawakawa shampoo bar is divine 😍 nourishing but not overly moisturising. looking forward to trying the other bars in the sample pack. the oil is great too! i love the earthy scent. and i got some pretty beads 😁 so glad i decided to treat myself. all the packaging was eco-friendly as well. will defs be ordering again! 💜 #supportlocal #ecofriendly #dreadhead #dreadlocks

so, big life news… i got a self-contained van! 🚐 well, minivan! it’s very snug and cosy. i had planned to spend today working on the interior, adding little personal touches… but i have been hosting an unexpected guest. this little lad or lass (anyone know how to tell the sex of a fledgling #blackbird??!) needed a safe place to recover after being rescued from the jaws of my sister’s cat (the ironically named Mr. Snuggles). we’ve spent all afternoon just chilling, listening to the rain on the roof. i’m grateful i could provide them a sanctuary, because that is exactly what this van represents to me. a place that’s all my own, a shelter from the storm. somewhere i can be alone when i need to be, a refuge in times of crisis. a home i can take with me wherever i go. looking forward to setting this little one free when they are healed and ready to fly. 🖤

“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes 'Awww!'"
— Jack Kerouac, On the Road

so grateful that my dogs aren’t stressed out tonight. this girl (neurotic at the best of times) is a bit on edge, looking to me for reassurance, but generally they are both fine. (Loki is sleeping right through it 💤) sending good thoughts to all those with anxious friends! ❤️
