About Me

Hello! I am Ruri. I was born in Japan and have lived in the UK in the past 23 years. I am a mother of 2 beautiful but cheeky children, Leo 14 and Lilia 12,  an adorable pet dog Max (labradoodle), and gecko called Draco (crested gecko – female). 2020 was a shocking year for us all and I personally had gone thorough life changing events from beginning of my cancer journey and divorce… I painfully realised that the life is too short to just sit and relax but has to fully enjoy the ride while it lasts. I now am so thankful for what I’ve had to gone thorough and the fact that I am alive today. Every day life is more enjoyable than ever be, and every moment is so precious.  Of course there are still tough moments, but with those experience, the beautiful moments become extra special. Yin and Yang, it is. 

So, here I am. I’ve started my new website which mainly journalises my life related food and health. How I picked the domain name vruri.com is simple. V stands for “Very” but much more including Vest, Very, Veganism, Vast, Vegetarian, Vet, and so on. (“Vet” is something that I wanted to include as my daughter wants to be a vet and I just wanted to through that in there.) I wanted to maximise the potential to live longer on this planet begin healthy and happy, and also share my journey with whoever come across this space. 

I am only 49 years old and I still have a lot to learn in life and enjoy. To be able to do that, looking after your body and soul is essential. Thank you for stopping by and reading this page. Please message me if you can, I’d love to hear from you.
