The good news is that my manuscript is submitted to my editor. All 258 pages of it. Holy Crap, holy, crap, holy crap, is what I said to myself when I uploaded it yesterday. I was sweating and my heart was beating fast. This is by far the biggest project I’ve ever taken on, the […]

Two of these posts in less than 1 month? I’m on a roll. Spring, I love everything about you. Let’s get right down to business! 1. Desert Essence Body Wash. This is my new favourite body wash – well, I can’t decide between the Vanilla Chai and Almond scents because they are both delightful. The […]

If Pineapple Upside Down Cake was morphed into breakfast, this would be it. Shredded coconut, rolled oats, pineapple, banana, and a shot of coconut rum for good measure, makes this one of the tastiest oatmeal recipes to ever cross my lips. The coconut rum accents the tropical flavours in the dish, but you can always […]

Good morning! I’m popping in today to let you know about a fun interview I did with the lovely Kathy of Healthy. Happy. Life. I’ve been a long-time reader of HHL and I’m continually inspired by Kathy’s enthusiasm for a vegan lifestyle. Her passion oozes out of everything she does from her vibrant photography to […]

Turning 30 shouldn’t feel depressing. After all, I’m entering my 31st year. If there was a time to be depressed it was last year. Don’t get mad at me 29 year olds, I’m only joking. Plus, as my stepdad duly notes, you have two options in life – get older or kick the bucket. Putting […]

I really don’t know how I was able to save enough for the chocolate cupcakes. Best of all, it’s just two simple ingredients: Full-fat coconut […]

Tomorrow, I’ll be flying from Toronto to Vancouver and then from Vancouver to Portland, on my merry way to the Vida Vegan Conference! I seriously can’t wait. In my typical fashion, I’ve been dealing with a lot of anxiety about this trip, but I’m sure I’ll be having too much fun to even notice it. […]

I somehow managed to do two things that scare the living daylights out of me – travel alone long-distance and engage in a very large social setting where I don’t know many people. For some, this is no big deal, but when you have bad anxiety the apprehension can feel crippling at times. I made […]

It’s time again for another round up of things I’m loving lately. There’s so much vegan love to go around, so little time! Hip, hip, hooray for… 1. Bare English & Co. Coco-Mint Lip Balm Oh my, this lip balm is incredible. Not only does it keep my lips super moisturized (think body butter for […]
