All in Lifestyle
For those who think vegan food is always colorful, vibrant, or even “healthy,” this blog post is for you. The truth is, we’re all human--and even though making my food look appealing is a fun hobby, I don’t always eat carefully crafted meals. My meals are easy, they’re simple, and they’re (sometimes) filled with junk food!
Want to know where to start? I’ve made a list below of some of my go-to workouts! Many of these are low intensity and can be a lot of fun. I’d much rather eat food than move my body, so I try to pick things that I will enjoy (i.e., dancing, yoga, or dog spotting walks)!
Some days are just hard. And for really hard days, you need things that make you feel better. Enter: self-care. Everyone’s version of self care is different, but for me, it includes a quiet day or night and soothing products that are guaranteed to make me feel better. Here’s my list of my favorite self care activities and products for when I’m really emotional.
Reaching protein goals on a vegan diet is actually way easier than you may think. It just takes a little more of paying attention to what foods are going to give you the most run for your money. This is my list of some vegan foods (both processed and whole plant foods––there’s no discrimination here!) that I use to hit my protein goals.
When people first find out I’m vegan––after they ask me what exactly it is that I eat––the next question that follows is why? Honestly, this question is my favorite one because to me, it’s the most powerful. A lot of people can’t fathom why someone would want to go vegan. Personally, I think the first step to understanding this is knowing that veganism is more than just a fad diet; it’s a belief system or lifestyle. It’s belief that transcends the food itself
If you’re veg curious, you’ve come to the right place! This is part one of a series of blog posts where I will walk you through the beginning steps to going vegan or starting your journey to eating less animal products. Here’s my list of more than 50 vegan substitutes!
I love thrifting, and more often than not, I’ve discovered all of these things during shopping trips. Here are a couple of my favorite winter thrift finds. I hope this gives you an idea of some of the clothes you can find shopping secondhand and inspires you to try to shop less “fast fashion” this year!
I know when I first went vegan, I was reading the back of food labels like crazy. Trying to distinguish whether certain ingredients I couldn’t even pronounce at times were vegan was a lot to handle. Once I got the hang of food though, I never thought to take a look at the medications I was taking. Many supplements are made with gelatin casings or shellfish extracts, which if I could avoid these ingredients in my medications, I was definitely going to try to!
