ACTIVISIM HITS HOME
As a parent to step-children I often feel my efforts to promote a vegan lifestyle gets dumped in between the sharing of two households; one of which is completely non-vegan. Despite that fact I’ve been apart of more than half their lives, it is difficult to keep up the good vegan fight with so little […]

To say my life has been a bit crazy lately is quite the understatement. I’ve juggled more this month than usual and tackled several projects that were WAAAY out of my comfort zone.

I’ve been addicted to kombucha from first sip. It wasn’t really the probiotics or other health promises that did it for me — although I’ll take those, too!

This is not the post that I intended to share with your today, not even closely related but it’s been “one-of those days”. A day I felt I must be fooling myself to think I can make my business successful and even telling myself it won’t matter because no one is listening anyways. Hello…are you […]
