Vegan Update: Two Years of Plant-Based Eating

04.06.17

Last year I compiled an informal list of what I learned in my first year eating plant-based. I decided to continue the tradition and share about my second year vegan!

This second year was more focused on expanding vegan eating into vegan life.  I have removed almost all non vegan makeup and personal care products and replaced them with a vegan version. I also pay closer attention to the materials and fabrics used for clothing and accessories. I have by no means eliminated everything or am perfect, but I am much more conscious that I use to be.

I feel more confident when talking about vegan issues and anti-vegan confrontations. I also no longer feel the need to explain myself when asked about my dietary choices.

Vegan eating is second nature. It feels so natural that food before vegan life seems so long ago. I love how creative I feel in the kitchen and experimental its made me when trying new fruits and vegetables and food combinations.

I’ve learned so much this past year about the vegan lifestyle and look forward to learning more about vegan baking this coming year!

What are your vegan lifestyle goals this year?

Collectively,
Karmen

A cozy little book reel in honor of World Book Day A cozy little book reel in honor of World Book Day 📚 

My local Barnes and Noble closed a few weeks ago and the last visit was so sad. There’s a part of me that always thought I would see a book I wrote on one of these shelves. 

I’ve spent hours browsing in this store, bought every required school reading book here, with the coordinating spark notes, of course.

It’s where I would find the books that filled my beach bag every summer and shopped for gifts every Christmas. 

I found my first vegan cookbook here when I was desperately looking for recipes that had ingredients I was familiar with and it was one of the first places I went when I moved back from the west coast. 

There’s just nothing like your hometown Barnes and Noble 🤍 

Officially the worlds longest caption about a bookstore? Leave a favorite B&N memory if you made it this far ;)
