What to Do with Chia Seeds, Naked Yoga Retreats
I don’t put coconut oil in my mouth and swish it around for 20 minutes every single morning like I’m a real life lattè foaming wand because I love the taste and texture of pure oil in my mouth. I don’t. I can’t even come up with anything cheeky to compare it to. Placing a tablespoon of pure oil in the mouth is bad enough. I don’t pulverize and drink cabbage and leafy greens everyday because it’s the yummiest thing since tiramisu (nothing is yummier than tiramisu, and green smoothies should never be compared to Italian desserts).

From Zimbabwe to Texas, and everywhere in between, people just want to feel connected, happy and loved. That’s it. No matter how fucked up, how “normal”, or how many mistakes have been made along the way. No matter how perfect, how squeaky clean, or how hot of a mess you might be.
Read MoreHealthy Vegan Eating In Malaysia? + Balsamic Mushroom Green Beans with Coconut Bacon
Do you remember last week when I told you that I’m not like most vegans? Well, it’s a damn good thing because earlier this week I was asked if I minded my veggies being in the same fridge as a bunch of pork that was being dried out uncovered for a roast pork dish that would be prepared later in the week. I told my host that of course I did not mind and went straight to my computer – I knew exactly what I wanted to write to you about this week.

If you’ve been reading this raunchy little blog for a while, you know a thing or two about me. If you’re a CFDG virgin, I welcome you with a big bear hug – virtual style. (kind of like doggie style but different) <------you'll get used to that. A lot of the people who follow this blog don't eat 100% plant based or even 100% vegan, they just like to add super healthy things into their eating routine. And I for one think this is awesome.
Read MoreMy Un-Advice To You + Minty Green Cacao Smoothie Recipe
Do you ever feel bombarded with healthy eating advice? Because I do. And today I can’t bring myself to give you any. As I’m writing this it’s 5:53am on Wednesday and I’ve been up for over an hour trying to decide on a topic to titillate you with. I have a list of drafts up in my google drive as long as your small intestines (seriously, the small intestines is like 20 feet long. Creepy that it all fits in so nicely).
Read MoreTips For Adding More Healthy Foods Into Your Diet: The Basics + Mushroom Walnut Paté
It’s pretty much established that incorporating more whole plant foods into the diet is a good thing and we should do as much of it as possible. The memo has been sent out, Office Space style and mot people are on the same page. After the memo has been read and understood the next step is to take action. And what I’ve noticed is that people tend to overthink the action part.

I could spend all day at our private Facebook group. From an onslaught of #shittyfoodpics, to relationship advice, people are connecting over all kinds of topics. It’s an awesome group of people, and there is ZERO preachy, judge-y, holier than thou stuff going on. Because people know I won’t put up with that baloney. No one should ever be made to feel bad about what they put in their mouth. Whether it’s a juicy burger, or a vegan version of that burger.
Read MoreThe Coconut Oil Debate. Are You Confused Too? + Western Samoan Inspired Coconut Chard
Did you know that coconut water is so close in structure to human plasma that in an emergency it can be given intravenously into the bloodstream? If anything, this is a perfect golden nugget for trivia night. Just don’t drink so much before the game actually starts that you have to go to the car and go night night (I have NO experience with this.) Today I’m not talking about coconut water or drunk mishaps (as fun as those are). I’m talking about coconut oil, because who’s not confused by the shit?
Read MoreSuzanne Somers’ Boobs + THE Best Vegan Burger Recipe for Meat Eaters
My parents were hippies, and they didn’t want my young brain filled with TV. So I listened to movies and stories on vinyl (Annie was my all time fave, and The Velveteen Rabbit made me cry each and every time); I painted rocks that I would later sell to my neighbors; I played hide and seek outside until dark with my best friend, and if I was lucky my mom or dad would bring me home an Archie comic book.
