keeping it real.
So I know I’ve gotten a bit video-happy at the moment, but I have good reason. I’m really busy – my camera is dying a slow, unable to focus properly style of death – and I actually find making these little videos quite fun.
The following vlog is not your ultra-polished, professional-type job – it’s me, slinging things into a food processor, rambling off on tangents, and Viper interrupting not one, but twice. Argh. It IS in fact, real life Lou – who’d have thought!?
I think it’s kinda good to keep things real. It’s easy to hide behind written words (spell checked, edited and the likes). Painfully styled photos, agonised over for hours, days, weeks (?) – fine, if that’s your job to do so – but I don’t get paid for this, and I would rather a realistic portrayal of the person I am, and the life I have than some fabricated idea of “perfection,” whatever that means.
I don’t know, the world we live in these days is obsessed with perfection – how you look, what you do for a living, where you live – blah blah blah – reality isn’t such a terrible place is it? Thoughts?

Vegan. Stay at home Mum of Misty. Yoga teacher in training. Passionate about REAL food - creating it, eating it, sharing it. I can never stick to a recipe.
lol this video cracked me up… the batman/sign intermission was so cute
. We call them green onions (or sometimes spring onions too) here! When you were talking about a mango sub the first thing I thought of was “oh I could probably use orange”… great minds. I am totally craving a big salad now… off to see what I can scrounge together!!
Ha, if you couldn’t tell I’m a major goof. Batman is Misty’s – he calls him “Mat-Nan.” Near enough
I reckon orange would be really good in this dressing – took me long enough to think of it though!
okay but now you gotta post the one with you rambling and viper on the phone. I LOVE YOU! and great recipe
Ha! Thank you my lovely
I love how you enunciate.
Ha, are you taking the piss, dear Hannah!?
Dear god no. I would never take the piss about enunciation, pronunciation, or correct grammar. I would hope you know me enough by now to know that!
Hehe! Yeah, I’m not so good at the correct grammar thing – some days I like to write my own rules
Sentence structure? Bah!
