Dear Jane
1. Dear Jane,
Since I started getting into yoga I’ve found myself wanting to change how I eat. My family think I have joined a cult because I refuse to eat meat any more.
What can I do to convince them that I can be perfectly healthy without eating chicken nuggets?
Yours in veganism,
Sophie
Dear Sophie,
I’m going to presume you are still quite young if your family is involved with what you eat. In which case I understand how difficult it can be getting them to understand you’ve not joined a cult. My own family have many times thought I’d become part of different religions because for fun I used to send them pamphlets from all over the world proclaiming I was giving up my worldly goods to have a shaman’s baby. Fun times.
But I digress. In this instance I must state quite firmly that any family that thinks it’s acceptable to eat chicken nuggets as a ‘healthy, normal’ option is a family you need to leave.
It just might be in your best interest to join a cult for now. Yoga is full of them and they are very well known for serving a decent lentil curry.
Best of luck and keep fighting the fight in animal love and welfare.
2. Dear Jane,
Why is yoga gear so expensive?
Thrifty of Thames
Dear ToT,
Yoga gear is only expensive if you insist on wearing fancy schmancy outfits. There is no rule that says you can’t practice in your pj’s or your undies at home or a cheapie pair of leggings and tank in a studio.
Of course, to be Instagram worthy you must be bedazzled in rhinestones and crystals. Or nothing but a Gucci thong. The algorithms will steer you right.
3. Dear Jane,
How’s the unpacking going?
I’ve got some amazing tips for getting everything done within a day if you’d like them? Let me know and I’ll send you the link to my e-book!
It’s super quick and super helpful! Your home is your castle, after all!
Best wishes!
