I love posting food pics and explaining them. Vegan grub is the best so here is some more! 

Vegan pizza because its the best! 

Recently I wen to Linnaea's Cafe in San Luis Obispo and had an amazing vegan cake made just for me woohoo!!! :D 

I was staying in the Bay Area while getting my tattoo recently and I came across this vegan chia pudding. It was soo good. I ate the entire thing haha. 

I wanted to try the Beyond Burger at The Veggie Grill. This was delicious Yummmmy :D I definitely recommend it. I will get some of these for my house.

I love taking easy stir fry and adding tofu or fake ckn cuts in there. 

I make a lot of my own acai bowls because they are great. 

New Kat Von D vegan lip gloss.

I recently purchased Kat Von D's long everlasting  liquid lipstick in "Witches" and I love it. I love love love Kat Von D because her line is cruelty free and she is a compassionate vegan who loves animals so it makes me very happy. Check out her lipstick when you get a chance. 

Vegan cold brew coffee and Lush products!

The other day I went to Lush and got loads of new cruelty free products. Not all of the products are vegan there but many of them are and they are marked with a V so you can notice them. I love Lush and how amazing their products are. None of them are tested on animals :D 

I tried the Califia Cafe' Latte cold brew for the first time the other week and I've been hooked ever since. This stuff is so super good! ahh where have you been all my life haha.

Book Review! The Vegan Way by Jackie Day

       When I picked up the Vegan Way I didn't know what to expect. From the cover I thought it would just be a really cool vegan guide for newbies to help you go on your vegan journey. After reading the first few chapters I knew that it was more than that. Some vegan books are good but they aren't personal, they don't all speak to your heart. Jackie opens up in the beginning in such a way that you feel like you are speaking to your friend. She even has some recipes tucked in there that you can make. The voice of the author is gentle and non judgmental. She doesn't yell at you she speaks to you and has a wonderful conversation. She also explains the reasons why wearing wool or leather is cruel. She has not only compassion but conviction. She does not compromise but she isn't pushy or obnoxious.  Don't get me wrong I don't personally have a problem with the vegan police but I do feel at times that not all personalities are going to be persuaded to go vegan with aggressive wording. The Vegan Way is something that new vegans, long time vegans and people who are interested in veganism can get quite a lot out of. I love the aesthetics of the book. It is has bright pictures and it keeps me interested with all the fun chapters.

       It is not a book that will be shoved at the back of your shelf collecting dust. It is a handy manual, a journal, a guide that one can pick up again and again. I have already read several chapters a few times. One of my favorite parts of the book is how Jackie talks about her transition from younger meat eater to vegetarian to later on a vegan. She is not afraid to be personable and it feels really nice. She has been vegan for over 28 years. She is educated and informed but does not dumb down her audience. Another favorite part in the book was Planting Seeds of Compassion where she talks about steps you can actually take to make a difference in the world from emailing coffee shops and asking for vegan snacks to writing your elected officials. New vegans and some old don't always have a guide to help them out and remember things or do things that can be proactive so this helped me and other young and old budding vegan activists. I also really liked her tips and tricks to stay vegan, her guide on cruelty free products and little helpful checklists and thoughts for the day. If you want to live a healthy compassionate, cruelty free life this book is definitely for you! Thank you for everything you do for the animals and environment Jackie <3

Rob Zombe and Sheri Moon Zombie on Vegan health and fitness magazine!

I had never heard of Vegan health and fitness magazine until I saw a post about it on Sheri Moon Zombie's facebook page. I was thrilled to see her and Rob on the cover. I found a copy at my local Barnes and Noble in San Luis Obispo, Ca. Go check it out when you get a chance. After I got my hair done and picked up the mag I went to Linnaea's Cafe for some local, home made vegan grub! Had carrot soup, tempeh roll which was delicious plus a gluten free, vegan banana and peanut butter cupcake. It was one of the best cupcakes I have ever tasted! Later I picked up a vegan pumpkin spice latte over at Peets and they had vegan whip cream made with coconut. I finally got to try it! woohooo!! It is SO incredibly delicious and creamy. Yum yum!
