Girl Dinner is Sadly Relatable
Have you ever experienced this “girl dinner” trend? Raise your hands!

Like all trends, there’s an underlying message AND a…

Vote for Me on Ms Health and Fitness!
I never thought I’d say this, but…yes, I have entered a contest for a cover on a magazine! While I just completed my first ever professional photoshoot, this endeavor is totally different–and very much so.

Why I Stopped Intermittent Fasting Every Day
Good old IF…or as one would say, eye-eff. Intermittent fasting: a time-oriented method of dieting (not an actual diet) where one undergoes precisely measured and specific allotments of time to eat and the rest to fast (by that, we mean no calories or net macros). There is a plethora of studies and works of research…

Most Previous Vegan Festivals: Central Coast VegFest + The Artisan Wheelhouse’s Vegan Cheese Launch Party (all pre-quarantine)
To most people’s chagrin, a lot of festivals, conventions, and concerts have been cancelled or postponed due to the pandemic. It is devastating that we are now constrained to our homes and essential businesses in proximity. For the last several years since starting the blog, I arguably LIVED for these conventions. Nothing pleased me more…
