Hello, I'm Emily!

I'm a freelance writer and total foodie who loves to get the kitchen in a complete mess - pots, pans, blenders - the lot!
​
I’m a smoothie drinking, green juice lovin’ raw choco-holic with a passion for health, wellness, organic, natural food and a crazy, (leaning towards obsessive) desire to spread the word about it!

Smooshd Bananas is a nosy into my life, from experiments in the kitchen documenting my successful experiences, my messy failures in the throes of my experimental-ism (!), snippets of my creative side, aka me covered in glue, thread and paint, and watching me grapple with my new found enjoyment of yoga.

I’m originally from England, but left the minute I finished my last college exam (I kid you not, my suitcase was at the back of the exam hall!), to set out on my travels. I’ve lived in Australia, New Zealand and now Ireland where I am currently gathering ideas and bubbling those creative juices to create a life I am truly ecstatic in.  

Other than my foodie obsession, I have undertaken various courses and online studies in Ayurveda, Herbalism and Nutritional Therapy which I cannot jump high enough for joy knowing I have all this information at my finger tips – HENCE – I decided to blog about it so I could share the information I have gathered.  What’s information good for if you don’t share it hey?!

Over the last few years I have been working in health food shops across the globe as an health adviser, an online marketer, social media coordinator and most recently an online blogger.

In addition to food and blogging, I’m tackling my new pleasure in life that is yoga, and over time I hope to start a section on this blog to show my progression - not only for my own sake to keep me motivated, but hopefully so that anyone else struggling with motivation or willpower will be stirred to move their butt off the ever-so-comfy couch it’s currently residing on :)
​
In my free time, I like getting crafty with stitching projects, drinking copious amounts of green tea with friends, reading, painting, writing, watching… dare I say it… Netflix with my boyfriend whilst scoffing raw chocolate, and passing away too many hours scrolling through Instagram!
 
So that’s me in an organic nut shell… I hope you enjoy my future blogs to come!

Love love love
