Hello Darlings! I have to admit, actually using makeup brushes other than for bronzer is fairly new to me. I had always used my fingers to apply everything from concealer to eye shadow and finally got on the brush wagon when I realized using my fingers in my makeup wasn’t exactly the most hygienic way to apply it. However, I have super sensitive skin that is particularly sensitive to chemicals (I can’t wear perfume because it irritates my skin!) so when it comes to keeping my brushes clean ...

Summer Drink Series: Homemade Vegan Iced Chai Latte
Hello Darlings! So I know usually the summer drink series recipes involve alcohol, but I had a hankering for a chai latte and instead of spending the four dollars to grab one down the street I whipped up one of my own at home! The flavor of chai is all about the freshness of the spices, and I love mine extra spicy- so I used super fresh spices from fresh ginger to whole cardamom pods from Jiva Organics.

Cookbook Love: Vegan Ice Cream Sandwiches (& Giveaway!)
Hello Darlings! Now, no birthday is complete without ice cream. And as a treat to myself (and the fact that Williams and Sonoma was having a 55% off sale!) I bought myself an ice cream maker for my birthday- and now I’m obsessed! I love that I can make healthier versions of ice cream- with almond milk YUM- at home and pretty much on a whim (minus the 24 hour freezing period) so I have been playing with making my own recipes but adoring the ones in my Vegan Ice Cream Sandwiches ...

Holistic Health with Boiron (and Giveaway!)
Hello Darlings! When it comes to how I cope with ailments I am anything but traditional. I love that there are so many options for healing in this world and that holistic health is becoming more popular in everyday society. I was fortunate to have grown up with a mother (now an herbalist!) who taught me how to listen to my body, and that when I wasn’t feeling my best I had the option of reaching for something natural. And while often I was in the backyard picking mullen or dandelion for ... Read More about Holistic Health with Boiron (and Giveaway!)
