If I could stress one thing to the American people (besides general human decency and environmental awareness), it’s that you are both what you put on and in your body. Somehow we’ve lost sight of what’s important and instead began to prioritize saving money at the expense of our health and the wellbeing of the…

Eat Green, Drink Green, Sleep Green
As a sustainably minded, health conscious vegan, I’m constantly searching for ways to improve my health and protect myself from unnecessary toxic chemical contact. Your skin is the largest organ on your body. And while it doesn’t absorb everything, it does absorb and incredible amount of what we touch. It’s quite clear that many of…
Am I a Bad Vegan for Drinking Wine?
When I first saw a bottle called the Vegan Vine, my heart stopped. Wasn’t all wine vegan? It’s just grapes, right? What animal products could there possibly be? After a little research, I realized that it wasn’t so much what was in the finished product but what was used to get it there that may…

Happy World Vegan Day!
In honor of today, I’m answering my least favorite question I get when I tell people I’m vegan: “So, what do you eat?” Sorry to disappoint you, but meat, cheese, milk and eggs are not actually main food groups. There are literally hundreds of kinds of fruits and vegetables and grains out there to choose…

A Day In the Life of a Lazy College Vegan
I’ll be honest: I don’t like complicated things. Long math equations, recipes with 15 ingredients… Trouble is, I cook most my own food now and I like to eat well. Not just college well, but actually healthy, substantial and delicious well. So over the past few months I’ve been training myself and have come up…
