My favourite (ayurvedic) skin care products- plus, a wonderful mix for hormone health!

July 5, 2020 by Ivy Chan

I have been writing this post in my mind for weeks, but it’s been unusually busy recently that I simply could not find the time to actually type it. Alternatively, I’m getting worse at time-management, but I don’t want to dwell on that if you don’t mind. We have more important things to talk about!…

clean products for big appetites

September 29, 2019 by Ivy Chan

Let me tell you one thing: I had no idea what hunger meant until I started breastfeeding. I always had a big appetite (it’s a family thing). Then came the pregnancy hunger everyone was warning me about. But none of that can compare to the breastfeeding hunger. All of a sudden, this mama found herself…

HELLO REAL LIFE!

Welcome! My name is Ivy. I am an academic by training and a foodie at heart, in a small but mighty body. Classical with a twist, married to the love of my life, a proud mum of two little lions, and one little human. We are currently living in Berkeley, CA. When I am not dreaming of the grey skies of Scotland, I read, write, bake, play with the babe, and consume more Medjool dates and dried figs than anyone I know.

Shakingmytofu aims to make plant-based life convenient, affordable, and adaptable for everyone. I will be happy if I can bring light, peace, wellness, and mindfulness in our daily lives. Feel free to spend time, have a look at the recipes, lists of plant-based sources (from snacks to clothing), images, and articles. Contact us anytime with queries, suggestions, and collaboration ideas at shakingmytofu@gmail.com or simply by filling out the form below. Look forward to hearing from you!
