When I was growing up, I was use to having a fully stocked fridge with all of my favorite foods. My mom would buy my favorite snacks to pack for school lunch, and I would have an assortment of foods to choose from after coming home from cross-country practice.

When you’re young you don’t worry about paying bills, and you probably don’t know much about expenses at all. In addition to your rent and groceries, you have to pay your phone bill, car insurance, gas, health insurance, and so on. …

It’s no question that we are destroying our planet at an accelerated rate. It snowed in Texas recently which was out of the blue, there’s wildfires annually, and there was a polar vortex this past winter. Not to mention rain forests are dying and animals are going extinct.

Advancements in technology are wonderful in many ways, but they come with great cost. The world is in such a different place than it was just 20 years ago, and we have no one to blame but ourselves.

While humans have greatly impacted the enviorment in a negative way, it’s not too…

People have had a lot of free time on their hands this past year. With the pandemic and quarantine, people had to find new ways to make money while working remotely.

In doing so, many have resorted to trying to grow their brand, whether that be starting a website, growing their social media account like Instagram, YouTube, or TikTok, or starting a small business.

This past summer, I decided to start a few business avenues of my own. I was finishing up my college classes and was greatly interested in creating a brand for myself. …

Although I became a vegetarian at the age of five, my diet wasn’t the healthiest. Throughout high school I played three sports and I was heavily reliant on both sugar and junk food.

I was able to eat everything except meat, and so I was still eating a lot of dairy products and processed foods. Once I went vegan when I was 18, (about four years ago) I was eating more plant-based foods, but I still wasn’t eating a ton of whole foods. I ate pop tarts, Oreos, chips, and vegan friendly frozen meals from time to time.

It wasn’t…

There’s a lot of controversy about the best diet for humans, or if one even exits. Every year it seems there’s a new promising diet people are buzzing about, which often results in a snowball of misinformation flooding the internet.

My diet has changed pretty drastically over the years. I first went vegetarian at the age of five, completely eliminating meat from my diet. I was eating a lot of eggs, cheese, and milk to make-up for the lack of meat.

When I was 18, I decided to go vegan. I cut out all dairy products, and in place of…

Some people’s goal in life is to make as much money as they possibly can. They dream of winning the lottery, winning big with the stock market, or becoming famous where they’re basically swimming in money.

In a society we live in, people always want more, and they’re never satisfied with what they currently have. And the problem is that a lot of people chase after money, believing it will bring them happiness.

Let me clarify something. Having financial goals and budgeting is important. I’m not saying to spend every penny without a care in the world. You need money…

When I was a little girl, I begged my parents for a dog. I envied my friends who had a pet dog, especially those who owned golden retrievers because it was my favorite type of dog.

Despite my efforts to convince my parents to get a dog, they said no. It was understandable, however. Dogs are expensive, a lot of work, need a lot of exercise, and so it wasn’t a huge surprise that my parents didn’t let my sisters and I get a dog.

However, they did let us get cats — well, sort of. It’s kind of an…

When I started my vegan food blog this past July, my goal was to share simple healthy recipes with others, and to show people that you can enjoy foods that are not only good for you, but incredibly tasty as well.

I also wanted to incorporate recipes on my blog that had a high protein content for people who were in need of adding protein to their diet. …
