  • REVIEW: January Favorites

    Hello! Well, January flew by and I’m sad to say that I don’t have very many new favorites to share with you. Our January was consumed by loving up on our newest family member and working on a few projects! For those of you who do not follow me on Instagram, we adopted this beautiful senior dog,…

  • FRIDAY FEATURE: Interview with Laura from The Whole Ingredient

    Happy Friday, everyone!!! Before we dive into this wonderful interview, I feel the need to explain (again) why I’m running these features. I have met some amazing human beings who are spreading awareness and opening the eyes to those unsure about the vegan lifestyle. I’d say close to 90% of the people I’m featuring had once…

  • FRIDAY FEATURE: Interview with Angela of Canned Time

    Happy Friday, everyone! Today we’re talking with Angela from Canned Time. I had admired Angela’s blog from afar and followed her Pinterest boards for quite some time, but it wasn’t until we were featured together in a post published by The Vegan 8 that I actually connected with her. She’s kindhearted, genuine and full of compassion – characteristics that…

  • FRIDAY FEATURE: Interview with Jen of @JenGoesGreen

    Happy Friday, everyone!! Today’s interview is with someone I’ve only known since the beginning of October, but has grown to be a dear friend. I met Jen through Lauren (from last week’s interview) when they ran the Fall In Love With Life challenge on Instagram this past October. Not only was the challenge a healing…

  • REVIEW: December Favorites

    I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season and Happy New Year! Can’t believe it’s 2015! December was a whirlwind of chaos with sleep deprivation, family gatherings and celebrating – it’s a month I love, but can also be stressful. Now that the holidays are over, we’re in this weird lull – like, what’s next?! I’m…

  • TIPS: Keeping a Budget & Menu Planning

    I have been meaning to sit down and write this post for months, but life has been somewhat chaotic lately with the holidays and a sleep deprived toddler. I’ve received some questions via Instagram regarding meal planning and budgeting, so I hope this helps some of you! For almost three years now, Josh and I have been menu…

  • RECIPE: Raw Salted Caramel Kale Chips

    I have a confession to make. Sometimes I buy products for inspiration – to recreate a delicious treat or an even cleaner, simpler beauty product. This week it was all about kale chips. It has been a LONG time since I’ve made kale chips – usually when I’m craving them, I don’t have the patience to whip…

  • RECIPE: Cacao Crunch Smoothie

    Often times I just throw things in the Vitamix and don’t pay any attention to measurements…leaving me guessing when I try to replicate a delicious smoothie. Several weeks ago, I created a chocolate one that received quite a few ‘likes’ on Instagram, so I thought I would share the recipe here, for those who don’t…

  • REVIEW: November Favorites

    I can’t believe it’s DECEMBER?!?! Last month flew by, but I did manage to find some new favorites to share with you. Before I get into that, I have to say how grateful I am for my family. If you follow me on Instagram, you know all about the amazing Thanksgiving we had, but for…

  • RECIPE: Crockpot Four Bean Chili

    We LOVE chili and when done in the crockpot, it allows me to throw it all together in the morning and let it cook throughout the day. The flavors have time to really come together and thicken up into a hearty dish. A few weeks back, I had posted a photo on Instagram of our homemade…
