Nothing excites me more than vegan food, especially when the community comes together to celebrate it. Here are some pictures I took from the DC VegFest on the campus of George Washington University in my beautiful hometown, Washington, DC. This is my new favorite t-shirt.

Remembering 9/11

This Sunday marks the 10th anniversary of the attacks on 9/11. In remembrance of all of the American heroes that fell that day, I am going to bake (yes, bake!) a bunch of doughnuts from the Babycakes NYC recipe book, and bring them to my local firehouse. Admittedly so, I had to think for a… Read the Rest…

De Rossi and Some Good, Healthy Laughter

One of my favorite comedians, Ellen DeGeneres, is married to a beautiful woman, Portia de Rossi.

I was so excited when I found out about Wilhelmina’s “Curves for Change” initiative! Curves for Change is bringing attention to the modeling industry’s bad reputation for using models that are dangerously thin, and promoting the new push for healthy-sized women in the industry. Truly fantastic! I looked at my schedule to see if I’d… Read the Rest…

Tips on Eating a Vegan Diet

I believe that making the decision to become a vegan–or even a vegetarian–is a completely personal decision. Whether the doctor has ordered… Read the Rest…

Made in USA

Most would agree that the athletic apparel giants, Under Armour and Nike, trump all of the “other” brands in the industry…and on every other day, I would totally agree with you. After all, who doesn’t love seeing that famous check mark on their body when they’re looking in the mirror at the gym? And what… Read the Rest…

A Mint That’s Really Refreshing!

Okay, I’m totally not a financial guru, but I do know some things about spending–and saving–money. Of course, when we really want that new dress in Neiman’s at full retail price, we instinctively tear the dress off the, “Dolce & Gabbanna,” garment rack and race towards the register armed with our American Express. And before… Read the Rest…
