Day 22 The Foodie Goes Vegan Project

November 9, 2010

So, I found my first vegan, fashion-friendly item.  I love my Hunter wellies! Granted, I live in Portland and decided long ago to make rain fun. Now, eating a planet friendly diet and stumbling upon some vegan style is becoming fun. I’ve been running around in my wellies (boots) all day, receiving numerous compliments, and [...]

Day 21 The Foodie Goes Vegan Project

November 9, 2010

I just had a conversation in which I said “Rock on,” “freakin” and “cool” in the same sentence. Are all the grains, vegetables, and soy products going to my head? I tend to dress a little bohemian but I’m not a hippie or a fan of drugs. Newsflash to self: being a vegetarian or vegan [...]

I want to tell you something right now, because I need to tell it to myself. It is ok to invest some time and energy into yourself and your own growth even if you have loved ones, friends and co-workers who rely on you. Even though there is an abundance of information out there, as [...]

Today in Pilates, we were talking about our first kiss. Mine happened in the seventh grade behind the math building with Darren Yeautsey.  I’ll never forget it!  He set the bar for the men who would follow in my life. I know you’re thinking, wait. That was a little early and she was a little [...]
