Let's Start A Book Club!
I LOVE reading. But somehow I feel like I never have time anymore. I've decided that I need to make reading a priority again and that's why I'm starting a book club!
I LOVE reading. But somehow I feel like I never have time anymore. I've decided that I need to make reading a priority again and that's why I'm starting a book club!
I would love to have you join the club so that we can share our favourite reads and discuss our thoughts on the books we explore!
I know you have so much to share and I can't wait to learn from you :)
Check out the video here or on YouTube and comment below to let me know if you're interested in being a part of it and what book we should read next!
Book #1: Proteinaholic by Garth Davis, M.D.
Go pick up the book and get started!
Also, let me know if I should start a facebook group for us!
Until next time,
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.
With all of the hype surrounding the final season of Game of Thrones, I KNEW I had to celebrate my love for this epic fantasy world by creating a Game of Thrones themed bullet journal set up for May 2019!
I guess it’s almost 2019? I’m not sure how, but ok! Come hang out with me while I set up mu letterboard theme in my bullet journal for January 2019 and be sure to check out my husband’s set up next week (there will be a giveaway!)
Hello again :) This video is incredibly special to me, as I’m setting up my husband‘s first ever bullet journal! I’m super excited about this one and I hope you enjoy this video as much as I enjoyed putting it together.
Hi all! I'm excited to share my completed Rhodia Webnotebook with you today as I flip through all of my bullet journal spreads from January to September 2018 :)
It’s almost October and it’s time to set up my bullet journal for the new month! Hang out with me while I plan using a cozy fall, nighttime theme with a little touch of spookyness thrown in there for good measure. Let’s get into it!
How am I getting rid of 2018 things in the last couple months of 2018? Using the classic #MinimalismGame format, of course! Let me walk you through how you can do it, too, and give you an update on my minimalism journey so far (3 years in the making)!
Hello again! I'm very excited to share my September Plan With Me video with you. This month I went with a woodland and wildflowers theme and I love how it turned out! Thank you again to my instagram family for giving me the idea and be sure to go follow me there if you want a say in what themes I do each month!
I'm turning 26 in a few days, and I wanted to share some of the nuggets of wisdom I've picked up along the way in my first quarter century of life!
I'm excited to be sharing my brand new work project management spread with you today! This is a combination of a leveled up to do list and a dynamic kanban board, and I am really looking forward to starting to use it in my day-to-day.
Hi friends! We have finally arrived at part 3 of our moon series, the Tombow Dual Brush Pen Moon Tutorial!
Hi friends! Due to popular demand, here is my Watercolour Moon Tutorial/Watercolour Moon Painting Process!
Plan with me for May 2018 with a Star Wars theme! And May the fourth, I mean force, be with you!
Why I Don't Wear Bras
I almost never wear a bra. Let's talk about why!
I almost never wear a bra. Let's talk about why!
I apologize for the slight course language in this video (the sexualization of women’s bodies makes me angry)!
Watch the video here or on YouTube!
What do you think about this topic? Do you wear bras? Do you feel uncomfortable going without?
Let me know in the comments and keep the discussion going.

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.

Best Vegan Podcasts
I LOVE podcasts. I'm a serial listener. I listen to podcasts about business, fitness, the news, and, of course, veganism. I have recently happened upon a couple of amazing vegan podcasts and I decided now was the time to update my resources list and highlight the best vegan podcasts out there!
I LOVE podcasts. I'm a serial listener. I listen to podcasts about business, fitness, the news, and, of course, veganism. I have recently happened upon a couple of amazing vegan podcasts and I decided now was the time to update my resources list and highlight the best vegan podcasts out there!
Number of episodes... 336
Release frequency... Weekly
Host(s)... Jasmin Singer and Mariann Sullivan
Format... Regular segments including news and rising anxieties as well as interviews
My favourite thing... A tie between the rising anxieties segment with Mariann and the incredible interviews!
The drawback... I wish they came out with episodes more regularly than once a week :)
Who would love it... Pretty much any vegan interested in changing the world for animals! (See what I did there?)
VEGAN WARRIOR PRINCESSES ATTACK!
Number of episodes... 76
Release frequency... Weekly
Host(s)... Callie and Nichole
Format... In depth discussion on a particular topic or an interview along with regular segments (like news)
My favourite thing... The joke in the middle and the incredibly interesting discussions they have on complicated topics!
The drawback... Once again, I wish the podcasts came out more frequently!
Who would love it... Vegan warrior princesses and princes who are interested in atheism, feminism, and intersectionality as well as veganism and have a sense of humour.
Number of episodes... 234
Release frequency... Weekly
Host(s)... Rich Roll
Format... Long form interview
My favourite thing... The variety in the guests as well as Rich's ability to ask thought provoking questions.
The drawback... Some interviews may not be your cup of tea as not all are vegan or involved in the vegan movement.
Who would love it... Those with a wide array of interests looking for inspiration in every area of their lives from health to entrepreneurship.
Number of episodes... 76
Release frequency... Monthly
Host(s)... Mariann Sullivan
Format... In depth interviews with lawyers about their animal law cases.
My favourite thing... The view into the world of law as it relates to animal welfare and protection.
The drawback... Sometimes I zone out when the discussion gets too technical - I'm not a lawyer!
Who would love it... Lawyers, animal activists, and those with an interest in the law and how it can harm or help animals.
Number of episodes... 101
Release frequency... Twice a week
Host(s)... Allison Melody and Suzy Hardy
Format... Interviews with doctors, nutritionists, chefs, and more about the healing effects of food.
My favourite thing... The positive vibe and the guests!
The drawback... Some of the spirituality episodes go right over my head.
Who would love it... Anyone who loves juicing, those who are hoping to heal their bodies with food, and those getting in touch with their spiritual side!
THE TEACHING JASMIN HOW TO COOK VEGAN PODCAST
Number of episodes... 8
Release frequency... Monthly
Host(s)... Jasmin Singer and Laura Delhauer
Format... Laura talks Jasmin through the creation of a recipe (you can cook along)!
My favourite thing... The banter and recipe ideas.
The drawback... I'd be more likely to follow along with a video podcast. And it makes me hungry.
Who would love it... New vegans looking to learn how to cook without animal products, long-time vegans who don't consider themselves good in the kitchen, and those with a sense of humour!
Number of episodes... 87
Release frequency... Weekly
Host(s)... Jackson Foster
Format... Interviews, Q&As, and topic discussions.
My favourite thing... The Q&A podcasts.
The drawback... Jackson is still quite young and that comes through in his podcast.
Who would love it... New vegans, younger vegans, and those interested in fitness and the environment!
Number of episodes... 147
Release frequency... Weekly
Host(s)... Matt Frazier and Doug Hay
Format... Topic discussions or interviews
My favourite thing... The non-judgemental, non-preachy vibe (not that the other podcasts are preachy! Matt and Doug are just very chill).
The drawback... I'm not a runner and so I won't listen to about 50% of the podcasts.
Who would love it... Vegan runners or runners interested in upping their diet game!
Do you have a favourite vegan podcast that I didn't mention? Let me know in the comments below so I can give them a listen!
I would also love to know what your favourite format for a podcast is - interviews, Q&A, segments, big topics... let me know! (I may or may not be planning to start a podcast of my own once I reach my $500 Patreon goal!)
Happy listening!
