A toothbrush is no longer just a brush for cleaning your teeth but a brush that can help change the world. This may seem like a strong statement to make; however, with new technology in recycling, we are getting closer to making a big difference! Thanks to the work from Preserve, this company has created [...]

Since today is the first Monday of the month, I believe this is the perfect day to start creating my “veganish” plan. I want to keep my goals simple and realistic (I know if I shoot too high too quickly, that I will most likely fail in all of my attempts to change.) So, It’s [...]

I have to admit that lately my life has gotten the best of me and my veganish goals. My busy lifestyle can’t keep up with my desire to make a bigger change (let’s just say my schedule and vegan itinerary are certainly not getting along these days.) I’ve been struggling to find that balance between [...]

Breaking a habit is often the biggest struggle people have in life. So, going vegan…well, let’s just say it could be a bit of a challenge.  Trust me, that’s why my vegetarian journey has been nothing short of a long haul. When I first began my vegetarian transition 12-years-ago, it was a very slow process. [...]

The deodorant isle has become one of my favorite sections in the natural health store. Don’t ask me why, really I don’t what it is that makes me so excited about the assortments of natural antiperspirants. Maybe it’s the different brands, sticks, scents, colors and creative designs; whatever it is, I love it! I can [...]

Want to know a little secret? I have found the ultimate cure for the “I NEED chocolate right now” syndrome.  I know I’m not the only one out there who craves a little sweetness in their life every now and then (or every then and again!). So, for those of you looking for that sweetness [...]

For me, this past year has been dedicated to change.  Whether done intentionally or not, change can definitely be exciting, challenging and rewarding.  Life after college is a transition that most people can relate to.  When I moved to San Francisco, a city that embraces a healthy lifestyle, that transition helped drive the changes I [...]
