My 2021 Top 20 Fave Songs

Leave a comment

Even though it’s been a long while since I posted my last episode of The Chillcast with Anji Bee, I still make monthly (and sometimes weekly) playlists. Exploring new music is what makes me most happy! I’m an Apple Music user, but since more people seem to rely on Spotify, I took the time to recreate my yearly Top 20 Mix on my Anji Bee Spotify account for folks to check out.

You can consider this The Chillcast with Anji Bee 2021 Top 20 officially, though I do hope to sit down and record an actual podcast version for my Anji Bee MixCloud account at some point!

The Spotify player above will allow you to stream the full playlist (with commercial breaks) even if you don’t have an account. The Apple Music player below will only play you clips of the songs if you do not have an account.

BTS Permission to Dance in LA – I Was There on Day 2!

Leave a comment

As you may or may not know, I am a pretty big BTS fan. I guess you could actually say I’m ARMY as I’ve even subscribed to the official fanclub the past 3 years. Ryan and I saw them perform at Rosebowl for the Love Yourself Speak Yourself tour and then I saw them again at the 2019 Jingleball, both of which I posted videos from on my YouTube channel. I had floor seats for the MOTS tour that was cancelled, and you better believe I cried my eyes out over that. I posted a video, too, about the terrible experience I had with the Ticketmaster pre-sale for the Permission to Dance in LA shows going on right now. Rampant errors on the site caused me to end up with what folks call “nosebleed seats” at the SoFi Stadium for Day 2. Sigh.

Disneyland Festival of Holidays At CA Adventure Park 2021

Leave a comment

Well well, lookee who found an open reservation for California Adventure Park?!? Ryan has been checking the Disneyland app pretty regularly and snagged us a spot so we were able to go check out the Festival of Holidays event going on now to see what plant based special menu items they have on offer this year. You may recall that in 2019 Disney pledged to have “400 new vegan dishes will all be rolled out by spring 2020.” So we were excited to see what goodies they offered vegans for the holiday at their 8 event-only kiosks, restaurants, and food/beverage carts. Come along on our holiday adventure!! Video and editing by Anji Bee.

Disneyland Holiday 2021 Vlog: New Vegan Dish!

Leave a comment

You may have heard how hard it is to find reservation spots at Disneyland now that the holiday season is nearing. With our “Imagine” Key Pass for local residents, we have a lot of block out dates, including every weekend, so it’s been tough to find anything for November or December. So Ryan and I were stoked to see a random weekday spot open up just before the official launch of their Festival of Holidays!

Anji Vlogs Vegan Options At Disneyland’s California Adventure Park 2021

Leave a comment

Anji produced a special vlog for Happy Healthy Vegan showcasing many of the vegan food options at Disneyland’s California Adventure Park. Filmed over the course of several visits, the 10 minute video highlights a dozen different spots that feature plant based options including the new PYM Test Kitchen in Avengers Campus, the Magic Key Terrace, Dia de los Muertes specials at the Plaza de la Familia and much more. If you miss “the sexiest voice in podcasting” then you will really appreciate the dulcet tones of Anji’s voiceovers in this vlog. The video also features the classic song “Our Nights” by Lovespirals, Anji’s band with Ryan Lum, who is also the co-host of Happy Healthy Vegan, as well as Anji’s husband.

Against The Wall Tee Graphic by Anji Bee

Leave a comment

During the discovery phase of compiling the upcoming Positive Influence anthology, I cam across a drawing I did for Against the Wall back in 1988. This thin marker sketch with a bit of stippling and a bit of cross hatching is very indicative of my style at that period. The simple black and white designs xeroxed well thus were perfect to use for zines and flyers. This is the same drawing style I used for the New Age Records logo graphic. If memory serves, this drawing was done as a potential cover for the first Against the Wall single that was going to be released by New Age, the label of Against the Wall member, Mike Hartsfield. The ‘Identify Me‘ single ended up being released by Nemesis Records in 1989 with a completely different cover.

It’s been awhile since my last Happy Healthy Vegan travel vlog! Ryan and I took a much needed getaway trip to enjoy some nature in the Palm Springs area at Andreas Canyon. We also checked out Chef Tanya’s Kitchen for the first time. I hope you’ll feel relaxed by watching this chill day in the life video featuring the beauty of our California desert and music by my band, Lovespirals!

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!
