Breakfast is the most important meal of the day: that’s what they say right? When I was younger I was never really a “breakfast person”. I always felt like I was too rushed in the morning to make anything substantial, so half the time I just didn’t bother eating. When I started college, however, I […]

Attention all animal lovers & compassionate souls: the cruelty-free skin care and beauty brands have grown SO much in the past couple of years. While it used to be tough to find products that aren’t tested on animals, today it’s totally possible, you just might have to look a little harder. While i’m not huge in to make up (pretty much because I don’t know what i’m doing with it hahah, beauty bloggers send help pls), I do care about skincare. After going vegan last year, I decided to make the change in other aspects of my life as well. While obviously I wasn’t going to waste anything I already had, I used the products up until they were done then searched for new cruelty free options.

Hey guys! I’m back again with the second recipe for my collaboration with La Brea Bakery. This Super Bowl recipe is a PERFECT plant-based, vegan alternative to your regular game day sandwich. Yeah, even though most football parties are packed with sloppy joe sandwiches and pulled pork, why not try a healthier alternative that tastes JUST […]

Supporting Fair Trade products means that you are making a difference in the lives of the people who grow the food you eat and the goods you use.  I recently teamed up with a really incredible fashion brand called Upcycled Styles. Upcycled Styles is based in Thailand and is an entirely fair trade organization. They work with Burmese […]

First of all all, what is tabouli? By definition, tabouli is an Arab salad made of cracked wheat that is mixed with finely chopped ingredients such as tomatoes, onions, and parsley. It is delicious. You can pretty much buy it at any grocery store, and it’s super good for you considering it consists of whole grains and […]

Okay so i’m a little embarrassed to even be calling this a recipe. It’s literally like 5 ingredients and requires 0 skill in the kitchen to put together. Honestly, that’s how most recipes are. I feel like people get so intimated by cooking if they don’t regularly do it. Even though there’s those incredibly talented […]

Lately i’ve been eating about a can of chickpeas a day. I don’t know what it is, they’re just so good. Even though I like them raw, I realllllllllly like them roasted/grilled. Roasted chickpeas are a great addition to any dish. Because of that, this salad is the perfect mix of everything. Spinach, rated as […]

Let me just start by saying that I know I can’t be the only one who feels like having cute workout gear motivates them to get moving. It’s no surprise that feeling good in what you’re wearing is a key element to having an effective workout. For me, that means being comfortable, having clothes that stay […]

Do you like chipotle? Of course you do. Everyone does, it’s just a known fact. Sadly, as much as I love burrito bowls, going out to eat all of the time can get pretty expensive. That’s why 9 times out of 10, I make burrito bowls for myself at home. This bowl is 10 times […]

Though many people don’t realize it, making granola takes no time at all, and it can be done with ingredients you probably already have in your pantry. Making granola at home is a great way to control the amount of sugar, fats, carbs, etc. that goes into your snack. Sadly, most store bought granolas are […]

Make these. Now, okay? There’s just something that I adore about having a cold treat on a hot day. Honestly, I don’t even care what it is, as long as it’s cold. I love ice-cream, popsicles, sorbet, frozen fruit, and most importantly, smoothies. No matter what it is kind of frozen treat it is, I […]

Make Your Own Monthly Calendar – DIY Things you will need clipboard (I got this one for $1 at Walmart) a printer (or just somewhere you can print – library, school, office, etc.) 12 sheets of paper (or card stock) That’s it! Soo easy right? Personally, as much as I love to utilize everything my iPhone has […]

Honestly, oatmeal gets such a bad rep. Most people I talk to are convinced that it is boring, bland, and tastes like dirt. Even though it kills me when people have a bad opinion on it, I was definitely guilty of thinking that at one point. Before I started eating oatmeal frequently two years ago, I […]

I looooooove bliss balls. I’m such a fan of anything cute, little, and snacky. I know most people think snacking is bad, but I totally disagree. When you’re snacking on ridiculously tasty caramel balls packed with nutrients, what could be the problem with that? I also really enjoy any recipe that I can pop in […]

I feel like brussels sprouts get a really bad rep. I remember when I was younger, I used to associate them with the worst food possible. When I got older however, I decided to give them another try. I’m honestly so thankful I did, because they are SO good. Currently, they are my most favorite vegetable. I […]

Warm carmel apple cinnamon oats :’) Everything about that is perfect, isn’t it? Apple cinnamon is a combination I’ll never get bored of.

These fries are my go-to almost every day. Sweet potatoes are definitely one of my favorite foods ever. Recently I read that if you eat an abundance of sweet potatoes and carrots (which I do), your skin can turn an orange tint. Isn’t that scary? I’m totally convinced that’s going to happen to me. Nevertheless, […]
