Guest post: Kimmi’s birthday photo booth
Please put your hands together and welcome Kimmi. Kimmi is my ultra, ultra, bestest friend of eight years. She is quite possibly the coolest, most laid-back, happy-go-lucky chicky I know. Last month Kimmi celebrated her 30th birthday in her home town of Cairns. I had the pleasure of sharing the weekend with her and her lovely husband, Sean, in their stunning, rainforest-surrounded house. Kimmi created all her own decorations for the party, including folding 98 paper cranes! I ‘helped’ put the last touches on the photo booth the day I arrived (aka I stood around drinking heaps of wine, trying on the crazy costumes and taking photos while Kimmi finished the photo booth). The booth was a huge hit with all the party-goers and captured so many great memories from the weekend.

It’s Meat Free Week this week and so of course we had to give you a new recipe to try out. I have been working on this little guy for quite a while, tweaking it to get it just right.

I think what perhaps got it over the line was the use of a very special pumpkin from two very special friends.

Our recent clothes swap party proved a great way for me to road test some of my newest vegan recipes. Our lovely lady friends left with new (old) clothes, tummies full and wallets unharmed – what more could a girl wish for on a Saturday?
Swap ’til you drop
Allow me to share a tried and true method for raiding your friends’ wardrobes and keeping the spoils – legitimately. It’s called a clothes swapping party and 96.34 per cent of people agree it’s the best thing since sliced bread. Or something.
Read MoreHow to: make a wishing tree
When people think of wishing trees they naturally think of weddings. Last year however, as I held a party to celebrate my 30th birthday, I began thinking about how I could make my party the most eco-friendly it could be (you can read more about this in my post here). In between questioning the eco-friendliness of decorations, food and invitations I realised just how much waste comes from giving presents – think wrapping paper, ribbons, cards, envelopes – and then being vegan adds a whole other degree of difficulty – plus I have pretty much everything I need.

Lately I’ve become obsessed with handmade paper banners — they’re super sweet, really easy to make and can be customised to suit all different occasions.
