In the lead up to releasing the Positive Influence anthology book on Shining Life Press, Anji has launched a new Instagram account. Follow @positiveinfluencezine for photos, artwork, behind the scenes stories and updates on the book launch. The new account will show a different side of Anji’s creativity, from pen and ink drawings, graphic design and layout, as well as live band photography. It will provide a unique look into the late 80’s So Cal hardcore punk scene with a focus on straight edge and posicore bands.

The Vegan Optimist Interviews Anji & Ryan

Leave a comment

Anji and her Happy Healthy Vegan partner, Ryan, were recently interviewed by Ryan Tratner for his podcast, The Vegan Optimist.

“The Vegan Optimist is a podcast spreading positivity and optimism about the future of veganism. It is a place of learning focused on positive developments in all things vegan!”

It’s a pretty fun half hour conversation that goes into how we met, how/why we became vegan, and what lead to the creation of our YouTube channel, as well as our thoughts on veganism and vegan activism, how to go vegan, the lie of “humane” meat, plus a lightning round of couple questions. What stupid thing did we recently get into a fight over? Find out!

The Morphism has released a very special remix of “Love Me Leave Me” on Bandcamp. This stripped down version was created as the First Dance song for his own wedding. Anton named the special edit “Maragaritari (Love Me Leave Me – Wedding Edit)” after his new wife, Margaritari. Congratulations to the beautiful couple! I’m honored to have been a part of your celebrations.

Chillcast Valentine’s Day 2020 Mix On Mixcloud

Leave a comment

SURPRISE! Bet you didn’t expect me to show up with a mix of love songs a few days *after* Valentine’s Day, did ya??? I’ve been contributing a Vday mix to the Cupid’s Hunt podcast collaboration since its inception in 2008, and I just couldn’t resist getting back into it again this year!!! You know I have trouble quitting The Chillcast, so it was a great excuse to go through all my unread music PR emails, scour the new releases on Soundcloud, and even hit up the freegal.com music site for cool new tunes in the theme of L-O-V-E. So get ready to kick back, relax, and let me soothe you and groove you once again for old time’s sake. <3

Lovespirals “Spinning Circles” Music Video

Leave a comment

An official music video for the song “Spinning Circles” from our ‘Life Goes On’ album is out now on the Lovespirals YouTube channel.

Lovespirals “Spinning Circles” filmed and edited by Anji Bee.

Over the past 2-3 years I’ve been filming various scenes I thought would work well with the lyrical concept and I finally took the time to edit them together for this fun must video that contrasts black and white and super colorful scenes. The parasol scenes were shot on Laguna Beach during the performance of ‘The Shoreline Project’ by artist Elizabeth Turk. We had randomly been on site just as 1000 people converged for this performance piece, and it was quite surreal! The carousel and teacups ride scenes were both shot at Disneyland, and the stupa scene was shot at Maui Dharma Center in Paia.

Hope this video makes you smile!

Anji Releases Happy Healthy Vegan Cookbook

Leave a comment

I am proud to announce that I’ve just released my second independently published book, Happy Healthy Vegan Cookbook. This follow up to by 2016 debut cookbook, Keep It Carbed, Baby!, highlights the more savory side of my oil-free whole food plant based cooking style with 40 new easy to follow recipes focused on pantry staples and ingredients already found in most kitchens. Not only did I develop the recipes, I also took care of the food styling and photography, and handled all the design and layout of the book for print, PDF, Apple Book, and Amazon Kindle formats. It was a huge undertaking, so I’m very excited to have completed this project while under quarantine this year.
