Have any of you read the Divergent series and wondered what faction you would be in? (Abnegation, Amity, Candor, Dauntless, or Erudite) I always thought I’d be in Erudite because I believe knowledge = power, and I also have a disgustingly huge collection of books (we’re talking 500+). Quick backstory: I had a hard time…

Let’s talk about protein and veganism! Although veganism is definitely becoming more mainstream, the amount of ignorance out there is just unbelievable. I swear, if I had a dollar for every time I was asked, “But.. but… where do you get your protein from?!”, I would have enough money to publish a pamphlet on plant-based…

What is “wellness”? Is it just the state of being physically “well”, or does it encompass more? My personal belief is that the idea of wellness includes being okay physically and mentally – which means something different for every person. So when it comes to blogging about this idea, it’s important to remember that my state…

I. Love. Farmers’ Markets. They are, in my opinion, the absolute best way to get fresh produce. In the square outside my office, there’s a farmers’ market every Tuesday and Friday with offerings from a few local farms. Buying produce there is better because: 1// It supports small business 2// The produce is mostly non-GMO 3// Local,…
