Wanderlust
I've been thinking a lot about traveling lately. How I miss it, and planning hypothetical trips to help motivate me and get serious about saving money. I was also thinking about how different travel is when you are going solo vs when you have a family. When I went to Greece, I wasn't alone, but … Continue reading Wanderlust
Giving up Coffee
There has been one resolution that I have been faithful to. It's been 744 days since my last cup of coffee. I decided to give up coffee because I was becoming dependent on it. I was never really a big coffee drinker and when I started working from home I didn't drink it at all. … Continue reading Giving up Coffee
2017 Goals
One of my goals for this coming year (like every year) is to write more here. I tend to write a bunch of drafts and never feel like they are good enough to actually publish. But, I'm going to try to start writing anything, even if it's a post saying that I don't want to … Continue reading 2017 Goals

Last week, I went to protest the use of animals for entertainment, specifically in the Ringling Brothers Circus.

Bethlehem VegFest 2015
Fall is becoming my favorite time of the year because of all the food festivals! This was my 3rd year attending the Bethlehem VegFest, and it sounds silly, but walking around all the vegan vendors and animal rights groups brings me so much joy. This was the largest amount of people I've seen here, and … Continue reading Bethlehem VegFest 2015
Vegan in NYC: by CHLOE
My mom and I are huge Chloe Coscarelli fans. Her recipes are some of my favorites because they use simple, normal ingredients, and always come out delicious. When I learned Chloe was opening a restaurant, I immediately told my mom and we vowed to go when it opened. Well, they are opened two weeks ago, and we … Continue reading Vegan in NYC: by CHLOE
