So much inspiration in this video. Also love lemon water and a few stretches in the morning,followed by sitting out in a sunny corner with a cat on my lap. Your meal looked delicious.

I love all types of fibre craft and sewing. I'm currently working on a denim jacket that I've crocheted a panel in the back with a floral tapestry in the centre and now in the front I'm embroidering flowers all over it. It will be for my Etsy store but honestly I'd still do this if I didn't have it. I have auto immune disorders and when they flare up and I can't move so much this is very relaxing. I also love making my own yoghurt, mayonnaise, pickled foods and this year I'd like to try ice cream. We're vegan so making our own is so much cheaper and it always feels good knowing what's in your food. I'm going to start stretching in the mornings too I think, as this will help a lot with stiffness. Thank you for another wonderful episode 😊 xx

Hi! Thanks so much for sharing this Liana, and I hope you're doing well. I think its so important to remeber sometimes to take things slow and actually think what it is we need and not just keep going on and on... I love that yore seeing your own jacket! That's amazing! 🤗 do you use a sewing machine for this? I really want to learn to use one but to make some dresses or somethng but I don't have one atm...yes agree on that making your own food is simply the best...everyone is vegan for me except for honey as I do like to use it when making herbal medicines, as raw honey is so good for immune system and other sweet syrups just don't have the goodness...but apart from that vegan all the way 🤗🌻 I hope you have a lovely day xx

[@lianapalumbo8457]

@@SimplyMagicalLiving I do have sewing machines but I prefer to hand sew items. It's so peaceful and relaxing, but you do develop calluses on your fingers from the needle, but that doesn't bother me. I've also managed to find an antique Singer sewing machine and will be setting that up to sew on. Yes honey is very good. My daughter and I rescue farmed and native animals and I'll use raw honey for medicines and wound care. I'd love to get a couple of hives. There's this new hive that doesn't harm the bees when retrieving the honey. When I have saved up enough I'd like to get those 😊 xx

[@SimplyMagicalLiving]

@Liana Palumbo aww that sounds wonderful! And the hive that doesn't harm bees...wow! Everyone should have that I guess...yes its a but of a funny thing for me, because being vegan you feel everything should be clear in this sense, but with things like herbal medicines, hoeny just helps so much and other sweeteners just don't have that effect, so sometimes I feel a bit conflicted, knowing of course that im not perfect...no one is. I guess if you try to buy raw and as local as possible then surely its alot better? I hope so at least as I do really enjoy the smell and taste of it 😌

[@lianapalumbo8457]

@@SimplyMagicalLiving well my definition of being vegan is to do the best you can and no one is perfect. We can just be better than we were yesterday 😊 xx

This video was just what I needed this morning, thank you! I find January tough, with the low light etc. but I know there are ways I can take better care of myself, just as you have here 🥰. Your crumble looks so delicious and nourishing, and could you tell us about the marinade for your tofu? Your stretches are just beautiful Lika …. I know it’s not quite possible at my age (😆), but I firmly believe this is the way our bodies are meant to move! x

[@SimplyMagicalLiving]

Sorry, just noticed I didn't answer your question here....apologies...yes so for the tofu it's super simple and really nice! For a pack of tofu, i first cut it into chunks and cover with cornflour and then fry them for a few mins till golden, this makes it super crispy....then, I add about 4tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp garlic puree, 1 tsp ginger puree, 1 tsp maple syrup or something like of the sort all into a bowl, little mix and pour over the tofu once it's fried a little bit and golden, and turn the tofu over and over again in the sauce till they're covered and sticky, it makes it absolutely delicious!

[@willowgrove631]

@@SimplyMagicalLiving ah, no apology necessary! This is great timing, as I just bought a block of firm tofu today! I am trying to make sure I get enough protein in my diet, so I wanted to find ways to make tofu a bit more exciting. Thanks so much 😊

[@SimplyMagicalLiving]

@Willow Grove oh wonderful, I hope you like this take on it, let me know how it goes 😃
