Yesterday for breakfast, I had this: The day before, I had this: Today? Totally in the mood for a chocolate milkshake (ingredients: cacao powder, vegan protein powder, stevia, vanilla extract, ice): I drank half of this and dumped the rest—so I guess that was pretty wasteful. I know I won’t drink it later though, and …
The last vacation I went on was to the Kripalu Institute last summer for a yoga workshop. It was awesome, and Desiree Rumbaugh not only helped me change (improve) my yoga practice, but it also motivated me to try Blue Lotus Yoga in Rochester when I returned home. All I can say is Anusara yoga …
From my grocery supplies, I used part of the avocado for guacamole (chips were made out of the sprouted grain tortillas), and I used the rest for chocolate pudding. I’m not great at following recipes for things like pudding…so I’ll just link you to Gena’s recipe because I know that one is good.
Sunday Groceries: You can find the recipe here. This time I used some different toppings, but they tasted similar—you can put whatever you want on top, and use the oven on a low temp if you don’t have a dehydrator. Wait till you see what I did with the avocados!!!!

How much money do you spend in a year on beauty products? Sometimes I look at the price of lotions, exfoliators, toners, face wash…and I can’t believe how much it costs! Not only that, but the ingredient lists can be downright scary. Have you heard this? You should not put anything on your skin that …
I’ll keep this post short and simple and sweet—just like the recipe! Vanilla Coconut Ice Cream (coconut milk + vanilla + a dash of guar gum + a dash of xanthan gum + sweetener) blended in the blender and then put in an ice cream maker or frozen in the freezer. You can leave out …
With a warm peppery, bitter flavor, boasting hints of orange and ginger, this super duper spice has a lot to offer to your health and your taste buds! Most people associate turmeric with curry, but it can be used for other things too. Turmeric comes from the Curcuma Longa root and the orange-y yellow-y color …
Pesticides, which also include insecticides, herbicides, fungicides and bactericides, are widely used and we all have an idea that we should try and limit our exposure to them as much as possible.
