About this time 7 years ago I was prepping for my first trip to Europe. I was so excited and so incredibly nervous. I was going to Greece to study abroad for 4 months. I didn't know anyone else going, and I had barely left the country before (except for a walk across the border … Continue reading My Favorite Greek Breakfast Pastry
"@joerogan Morrissey is a silly, silly bitch: 'Eating animals is just the same as paedophilia, rape and murder' http://mirr.im/1lgcD4K " I used to eat meat and think that vegetarians were weird hippies. I stood by the agrument that animals were meant to be eaten...they were simply the bottom of the food chain. After watching a horrifying undercover … Continue reading Random Rants on the Dairy Industry and Rape
Happy New Year! I'm not one for resolutions, but here are some short term goals I made, and a growing bucket list. Short term goals: Complete 90 days of p90x3. I've done 3 days so far and love it. It's the perfect length of time to be doable (not too long) and it's intense enough … Continue reading Happy New Year and Bucket List
Gifts we gave... A Dyson for my mom. I told her we were going to give her ours since our house has a Central Vac system, and she loves our Dyson, but since the Central Vac doesn't cover the entire house, we wanted to keep our Dyson and I bought her the exact same model. … Continue reading Gifts We Gave and Received

This year we also painted canvases. Another … Continue reading Christmas Decor
(No affiliate links...just stuff I'm really digging at the moment.) 1. Shea Moisture Raw Shea Butter Body Lotion ($10.29 Target) I don't really like lotion unless it's just cacao/shea butter. If you read the ingredients on most lotions, there's a bunch of weird chemical sounding stuff. I bought this to try because the skin on … Continue reading Products I'm Currently Loving
I was in the process of making a holiday gift guide, and had come up with most of the things I wanted to include. No affiliate links, just things that I either think would be a good gift for a female/vegan/techie/whatever. I was Googling how people grab the product images that they use for lists … Continue reading Blogging and Legal Stuff

This is another simple recipe. There's only a few ingredients and I think it's pretty fool proof. These could be eaten plain as brownies, or topped with a mint icing as cupcakes. We opted to top them with So Delicious Mint Chip ice cream and were not disappointed. Makes 12 brownie/cupcakes: 1 cup flour … Continue reading Mint Chocolate Chip Brownies
