In defense of the Lady who hasn’t washed her hair in 5 years and my experience with the ‘no poo method’

Who knew that something so innocent would stir up such controversy!

Despite my preference to avoid conflict and step aside when matters of particular ‘female interest’ spark a viscous feline-like brawl, I couldn’t withhold my inner cat woman from getting her claws out and having her two cents worth. Especially pertaining to a particular topic so close to my heart. And oh the timing of it all just when I have been experimenting with such a project myself. So I felt compelled to shed some light on the situation.

Not to worry, I keep my nails finely manicured so there won’t be too much scratching.

Asian Kelp Noodles with a Citrus Punch – BAM! POW! WOW! (Gluten-Free, Paleo, Vegan)

The magical thing about Asian food, and why I love it so much, is because it reminds me of some very distinctive memories. Every mouthful takes me on an exotic journey back in time to my intrepid adventures through the region.

The dishes are fresh, zesty and bursting with flavour. They’re drenched in tradition and culture, with recipes being passed down through the generations. That’s the kind of legacy I wish to leave for my children-that-have-yet-to-be-formed-in-my-womb (and are not on my radar for the foreseeable future). Sorry, too much?

Who doesn’t like frothing over yummy photos of mouthwatering edible stuff… aka food p*rn. Hence, you’ve probably noticed that amongst all the sustainable living and green propaganda, I do feature a lot of real food/paleo/primal recipes on my Facebook and Google+ pages, and even dabble in a few myself.
