I will never get sick of listening to this song. Ever.
Why my dogs are probably better and smarter than you are
1. They know how to pick their battles.
2. They know how to make their own fun.
3. They’re fiercely loyal.
4. If it’s too cold to get up, they stay in bed.
5. They embrace every meal like it might be their last.
6. If they want something they will keep trying until they get it.
7. They embrace every new experience with 100% enthusiasm.
8. They are well behaved (but only if a grown up is watching) ;-)

3Wild Endurance!
I will soon be taking part in Wild Endurance - 100km trek through the Blue Mountains to raise money for The Wilderness Society to protect The Kimberley. All donations are greatly appreciated! To donate go to: http://events.wildendurance.org.au/felicity
Thank you muchly! xo
I’ve never really been much of a recipe book kind of gal (I’m more inclined to just Google whatever recipe I’m after or just make it up as I go along.) But I saw this book at my friend’s house and I was so blown away buy its super mega awesomeness that I immediately bought myself a copy!! So far my most absolute favourite recipe is the Lemony Roasted Potatoes nom nom noooommmmm.
I got my copy from Book Depository.
Only 45 more days to go until I’m doing Wild Endurance!
A 100km trek over 2 days through the Blue Mountains!

So much love for this song right now.
Food Sense - Most likely the best website ever!
I first noticed the Food Sense website when it popped up on Best Designs. From my perspective as a vegan and as a web designer I’m pretty sure this is the best website ever designed.
Why I think it rocks so friggin much….
From a design perspective:
- It’s responsive (this means that the layout changes depending on the screen resolution so it looks great on everything from mobile phone screen to wide screen monitors).
- It’s minimalist. The designer hasn’t pimped the website out to boost their creative ego - everything that is on the site is there because it’s serving a purpose.
- I think the colours (black & pastel green) work perfectly.
- There is so much information packed into this website, but I think the content is so expertly laid out that it doesn’t look cluttered.
From a vegan perspective:
- The website doesn’t go out of it’s way to advertise the fact that it is a vegan site, which I think is a pretty smart thing to do. A omnivore might be turned off by a website overly advertising its vegan-ess, so keeping it on the down low is probably helping this website to reach a larger audience.
- There’s still enough mentions of the word “vegan” to not alienate people specifically looking for a vegan recipe site.
- The website has been designed by professionals. Julie (the chickie behind the website) isn’t a designer, so she got the kids over at Designing Monsters to design the website for her. Julie is a smart chickie.
