You’ve probably heard of Drop Dead Clothing. I’m probably just way out of the loop on this one. I don’t care. Any dress featuring Donuts In Space warrants a blog post.
As soon as I have a billion+ dollars, I plan on burning my wardrobe. And then burning some of that billion+ dollars because Drop Dead Clothing‘s prices are so reasonable.
Have you heard of Drop Dead? What’s your favorite item?
Do I know how to find vegan comfort food, or do I know how to find vegan comfort food!
Today’s featured vegan recipe, Spaghetti and Meatballs comes from Whole Foods! Can you believe those delicious looking meat-free meatballs are made with sunflower seeds!?
I know right? I bet your unplugging your laptop and bringing this post over to the kitchen to get started as we speak. No fear! Recipe Below.
When I was a kid, I once went to a 60′s theme birthday party. It was decked out with lava lamps, and pink groovy flower stickers — and as an activity, we all went out in the backyard and made tye dye shirts. I was a bit of a pudgy kid growing up, so the shirt never fit. But I loved it. So it sat unworn in my drawer, quietly coveted. And I’ve never warn a tye dye garment since.
Alright, end of sob story. I think the real reason I never wore any tye dye (apart from that shirt) is because I wasn’t really into it. Bright colors colliding together in seams of mud and brown? Count me out.
But then we started bleaching, dilluting and washing out. Pastels have made me a tye dye fan. And who knows, you may be one too!
I am in a very envious mood right now. Last week, I happened upon Gina678 on flickr, a fellow cupcake kitchen enthusiast.
LOOKATHERKITCHENN.
Have you ever seen so much glee in one place?
I’m not quite sure yet if this has either encouraged or discouraged me to continue filling my (now sad, pathetic) kitchen with cupcakes. Actually, that’s a lie. Almost immediately after flickr stalking Gina’s kitchen, I ordered these christmas cupcake ornaments, and this cupcake handsoap from fredflare. I couldn’t stop myself!
I’m also now tempted to talk my landlord in letting me paint the kitchen. I’m sure future tenants will appreciate a little turquoise.
Check out more pictures of Gina’s kitchen below.
I don’t recall how I happened upon German indie company Fuchsteufelswild, but I immediately fell in love. Who wouldn’t? They’re DIY, Vegan-Friendly and Sweat-Shop-Free!
I am in desperate want of their Veggie Necklace. Spy anything up your alley?
Recently, I’ve been getting back into Make-Up artistry. Being a vegan, I am having a very difficult time.
It has been awhile since I’ve offered my services professionally, and my beliefs and eating habits have changed dramatically. I went from being an occasional meat-avoider to full-blown vegan in the time between. And now, trying to flesh out my make-up artistry kit, while still holding onto my beliefs, I find myself running into a brick wall.
With so many ‘cruelty-free’ pledges, and ingredients lists half-a-page long, a girl can get overwhelmed. Major cosmetics companies come up with ‘nothing found’ when searching for animal ingredient free products, yet if you have a qualm about animal testing, you just have to scroll to the bottom of the page.
HEY MAJOR COSMETIC BRANDS – Veganism is a growing trend. And with the internet, the number of conscious consumers is ever-growing. is it so hard to have a section, a stamp, or at least a list of vegan-friendly cosmetics in your FAQ? I would very much like to give you my money, and share your cruelty-free products with my clients.
- BUT -
Though most major cosmetic companies website’s have no whisper of veganism, there are a few who’ve got it right. Here is a small list of cosmetics companies who are either entirely vegan, or have clearly posted vegan items!
I’ve never been a big fan of the idea of tofu in soup. But this vegan-friendly Tofu Pho from For the Love of Food looks amazing! Recipe Below.
Sorry for the horrible webcam quality/ no make-up, but I’m excited! I changed my hair color! I’d been rocking a purple dip dye forever,and was wanting a change. So I chopped off the purple section (which was getting scraggly and unruly anyways), did a once over with a box dye in a dark blonde, just a couple of shades darker then my natural color. And finally, I dyed the tips with a diluted mixture of SFX dye in Fishbowl for a pastel-y turquoise fade!
What do you think?
I never used to be into scarves. Don’t get me wrong – I love a cozy warm winter scarf; it;s the bandanas, and flimsy thin scarves that used to irk me. I like to knit, so my number 1 scarf priority used to be warmth. But that was before I got myself a couple of soft scarves. They’re areally quick and easy way to dress up an outfit, and versatile enough to completely transform outfits past!
So yes, I was a hater. But now, I can’t help myself. In my spare time I find myself youtubing new and creative ways to tie a scarf so it looks entirely new!
See that horribly grainy photo? That’s me. Wearing a big grin, my dad’s old shirt, with piles of itchy straw poked in my pockets, collar, and sleeves. And I loved it.
So here it is, 10 embarrassing facts about me from my childhood. Have a chuckle, and share yours below!
