Vegan on the Go: Eating Vegan in Cabo San Lucas
One might think that eating vegan in Mexico is difficult and…that’s not completely inaccurate. Over the past week I managed to not only survive, but thrive on some of the most delicious vegan food I’ve had ANYWHERE and, despite some close calls, I didn’t have to OD on guac to make it possible. Like most destinations, you can find options in Mexico if you know what to look for and thanks to a growing trend towards vegan, vegetarian and pescatarian lifestyles, big tourist destinations like Cabo San Lucas are always adding new and exciting eateries. First off, some helpful phrases: Soy vegano/vegan – I am Vegan This can be helpful…

Review: My Experience with Purple Carrot
I recently had the opportunity to review the Purple Carrot plant-based meal delivery service! For many vegans. new and old, coming up with new recipes and interesting meal ideas can feel like hard work. After a long day, I just don’t always have the energy to do much more than roast whatever is in the fridge and put it on quinoa. Here’s where Purple Carrot comes in. All of the recipes (I tried 3) came out fantastic. I was worried that things might be bland but everything was well seasoned and each was something I’d never attempted (and probably never would have attempted) making before. This video covers the Korean…
My Hair Regimen: Technique Means More Than Products
I’ve been getting a lot of questions about my hair regimen lately and to be honest, I struggle with this question. Mostly because…I don’t really have one. I’ve been natural for about ten years. In that time I’ve watched countless vids, stalked multiple blogs and spent lord knows how many thousands of dollars on stuff in jars but at the end of the day, none of those things really made a difference. How you TREAT your hair, and by extension, your body, day in and day out has a far greater impact on the health of your hair than any product you can buy. In addition, I’ve found that hair…
Are You Using These Vegan Apps Yet?
Apps as in ‘applications’ not ‘appetizers’ (although I prefer them to most things overall). If you’re a new vegan (or even an old one), the constant influx of information can be pretty overwhelming. While I encourage you to get used to reading (and understanding!) your food labels, these apps can go a long way towards helping you begin your vegan journey, stay vegan while traveling and speed up the grocery shopping process. There are, of course, tons of other apps out there, but these are the ones I reach for regularly. Full disclosure, I use an Android but I believe most if not all of these apps are available for…
Vegan on the Go: Eating Vegan in Kaua’i
I’ve wanted to visit Kaua’i since high school, and that desire only intensified after as my career in travel marketing afforded me the chance to learn more about the island. Since becoming vegan, my vacations of shifted a bit more towards the eco-friendly variety and Kaua’i strengthened its position as a dream destination on my travel bucket list. Naturally, when a friend of mine announced that she had a place on the island for a week and anyone with a plane ticket was welcome to stay, I jumped at the opportunity. Because we were traveling across the island nearly everyday hurrying to this activity or that, I didn’t get a…
