A Good Scrubbing: OZ Naturals Ancient Orient Bamboo Dermafoliant Review
So, you guys may remember, a few weeks ago my skin started acting up. Sometimes I start having issues when the temperature or season changes and it can also be brought on by flying from one climate (sunny and humid Hawaii) to another (dry and hot Arizona). After our last trip, I had enlarged pores across my upper cheeks, a patchy oil slick for a forehead and my poor nose was flaking and angry from all the extra tissue action during my last cold. I did an Aztec Indian Healing Clay mask and spot treatments, and, while it helped a TON, I still needed some help getting my skin’s texture back on…
Easy Vegan Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies
This recipe was inspired by Ashley of Blissful Basil. See her original recipe here. I have a bit of a sweet tooth. Sometimes, it is dormant or easily controlled and other times it is a raging dumpster fire of need. I’ve actively subbed dessert for ‘real food’ for dinner as an adult because I figure ‘why ingest the extra calories when all I really want is ice cream??’ Sounds legit, right? Fitness DVD coming soon. This recipe was born in the spirit of quelling sweet treat cravings everywhere. It’s easy, it’s quick and it’s vegan. It’ll also give you another thing to wedge mini chocolate chips into if you bought…
Easy Vegan Chocolate Chip Banana Nut Muffins
First off – shout out to Cherryvale Farms for making vegan baking so easy. Their mixes are plant-based and non-GMO. You just add fruit, oil and water then bake and enjoy. Now that that’s out of the way… I love baking. I mean, it helps that it usually results in something delicious, but I also find it fundamentally satisfying. When I first started thinking about veganism it was the desserts that I expected to suffer the most. How do you get creamy, fluffy, or moist out of plants?! In an effort to convince myself that dry, crumbly, naked baked goods were not my future I started experimenting with vegan baking…

Watermelon Err’thang
Confession: I’ve been drinking. In fact, I’m drinking right now. WATERMELON juice that is! It’s like 7:30 in the morning and I’m not in Mexico so how dare you assume I might be consuming alcohol? We’re going to be hitting the beach hard for the next 3 weeks. Malibu. Coronado. Cabo. In anticipation of all the tummy exposure, I’ve committed to 2-a-days until we leave (better late than never, amirite??). So, wtf does watermelon have to do with this? It’s basically the perfect fitness food for anyone trying to push to the next level. Some things you might not know about watermelon: Watermelon is approximately 92% water. It’s filling AND…
Blueberry Bliss
I realize breakfast was hours ago, or, depending on the quality of your local brunching options, is currently headed blearily into a 3rd mimosa, but, BUT, I made these muffins for B and had to share these muffins.
(Vegan) Taco Night!
Living in the Southwest I’ve grown to LOVE Mexican food. Most of the dishes focus on fresh ingredients, bright flavors and just the right amount of spice tempered by avocado or sour cream. Now that I’m vegan I’ve been getting my fix at home with dishes like this one. Vegan Quinoa & Black Bean Tacos with Blue Corn Tortillas Ingredients Blue Corn Tortillas 2 cups Black Beans 2 cups Corn (fresh or frozen) 3/4 cup Chopped Onion 1 cup Purple Cabbage 2 Limes 1 cup Quinoa (uncooked) Fire Roasted Tomatoes or Salsa of Choice 1 large Avocado 1-2 tablespoons Cooking Oil of Choice Cayenne Pepper (to taste) Lawry’s Chili Garlic…
