(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
For our one week anniversary, I made our first full meal from our Candle 79 cookbook: Nori- and Sesame-Crusted Seitan, Ginger-Seitan Dumplings, Jasmine Rice, Gingered Sugar Snap Peas, and Edamame-Mint Sauce. Well sorta... I made the edamame-mint sauce exactly as the recipe stated and to my surprise I loved it. I wasn't sure how the mint … Continue reading Cooking Through the Candle 79 Cookbook
I never had dreams of a big elaborate wedding, but the one detail I was set on was vegan food. Delicious vegan food that omnivores could say, "wow that was really good!" My first plan was to get lunch from The Cinnamon Snail. I've been dying to try this gourmet food truck but our paths … Continue reading My Dinner at Candle 79
We've only been in our new house for a little over 2 months, but my breakouts have been driving me nuts. Not only are they ugly, but they are really painful too. I've never been much into a skincare regimen, usually I just wash my face in the shower, and *maybe* apply moisturizer. After doing … Continue reading Hard Water Skincare Regimen
When we bought our house, I found out the hard way that we were seriously downgrading grocery stores. Our last Giant had a great (and expanding) organic section, and even a beer garden. Apparently this Giant got rid of their organic section a while ago and integrated the products throughout the rest of the store. … Continue reading Shopping and Pho…A Weekend in Pictures
(This post is not sponsored, nor does Shutterfly even know I'm writing it...I'm just a huge fan.) I first started having photo products made through Walmart.com, mainly because I could run into the store and pick it up, and it was quick and cheap. For the most part, I've been happy with them (except for … Continue reading Review: Shutterfly
I love libraries so much. I love testing out books (and dvds) and then buying the ones I love. I have a horrible habit of buying books and reading them once (or only reading half of them), or having buyers remorse when I can't get into them. It's taken me almost 2 years of … Continue reading Review: Skinny Bitch: Ultimate Everyday Cookbook
Lulu's Chocolate: Initial thoughts: Sexy packaging. So far I've eaten all except for the Raw Love and the Maca Green bars. I tried the Aztec Crunch bar first because crunch bars are one of my favorite candy bars, and I enjoy cacao nibs. I have to say I didn't care for it. The chocolate had a slightly weird aftertaste and … Continue reading Raw Review: Lulu's Chocolate Bars
I recently saw Daily Gourmet had a special of raw foods from Kaia Foods. I had signed up for Daily Gourmet emails but I had never used it before, but this seemed like the perfect opportunity to try it out. Now, first of all I looked at the deal and I wasn't really interested in … Continue reading Raw Review: Kaia Foods
