EVEN MORE GIFT IDEAS...
None of these quite your style? No sweat! Here are more gift options for the sustainable minimalist vegan in your life:
- An experience. Minimalism is all about reducing clutter and consumerism to make way for experiences and living. Giving someone you love an experience [ a day at the museum, a plane or train ticket to a place they've always wanted to visit, a concert ] is a way to show them how much you love them without adding more stuff to their life - just value.
- Food. Believe me, nothing will make your vegan family or friend more excited than handmade vegan goodies! Do a quick google search online for "vegan ___ recipe" and get cooking. I guarantee you'll put a smile on their face!
- Money. It's an oldie, but a goodie. Money can always come in handy. Knick knacks? Not so much.
- Necessities. Need winter boots that keep your feet warm? How about a hat, free from wool, leather, or fur? Buying someone what they need, rather than what they want, can be the most thoughtful gift of all.
- Donate in their name. Are they passionate about a particular cause? Ask them what organization they would like to support, and donate in their name.
- Time. Make a commitment to talk on the phone once a week, or go on a biweekly coffee date. Give them the gift of your time. It's a valuable commodity that will strengthen your relationship exponentially!
What are your favourite gifts to give and receive? Let me know in the comments!

Do you ever finish a book and wonder if you really understood it? Do you give 5 stars to pretty much every book you read? Do you watch reviews of a book you enjoyed and find yourself surprised that the reviewer picked up on so many things you didn’t?
If this sounds like you and you want to make a change, this video is for you:
I set out this year to read a book from every country in the world and created a spread in my reading journal to track my progress (see image below). When I mentioned my goal in a YouTube video the suggestions started flooding in, and I realized it was worth taking the time to put together a little resource for us all to share!
One of the most common questions I have received over the past 7 years as a vegan is “How do you get enough [insert macro- or micronutrient here]?” This is a question I have explored in great detail on this blog, with dedicated posts focusing on protein, iron, B12, and so much more. And while I will always believe that getting your nutrition from whole plant foods is the best first choice, it’s not always a possibility for every person. Whether you live in a food desert with little access to fresh foods or struggle with digestive complications that make eating large amounts of high fiber foods a painful experience, sometimes supplementation is the only answer.
Today I will be sharing with you my favourite vegan gummy vitamins for maintaining optimal health as a vegan of over 7 years!
I have collected many of the resources from my Anti-Racism highlight on Instagram into this blog post as possible for those of you who don’t use Instagram but still want to do the work to become anti-racist. I will continue to update this page.
From January 5th to January 19th, $1 will be donated to the Australian Red Cross for every order placed to aid in emergency relief for those affected by the bushfires currently ravaging Australia.

Coined by Elizabeth Jean @xparmesanprincessx, the personal curriculum trend is about creating a self-directed learning plan focused on areas of personal interest, loosely based on a school curriculum structure, including things like assigned reading, goals, assignments, and final projects.
At its core, the personal curriculum movement is about celebrating lifelong learning and intellectual curiosity. It's about being more intentional about how we spend our time when we're not sleeping, or at work, or doing the basic maintenance or admin or chores to keep our lives going. It's about using our free time to enrich our lives in a way that is purposeful and intentional and joyful, indulging our curiosity as adults, even once we're outside of structured school environments, getting excited about learning and allowing ourselves the freedom to go down those rabbit holes in our special interests, to challenge our brains in ways that we maybe don't get the chance to in our day-to-day lives.
