Gosh it’s been a long time since I’ve posted and even longer since I’ve posted regularly. A lot has happened in the last year starting with Scott’s transition into his new job and just dealing with life with three pre-schoolers as a Stay At Home Mom. To be honest, the short version is that 2017… Continue reading The Raw Outlaw
I’ve made a homemade sugar scrub before, but it’s been a while.

First we went swimming at the gym… Continue reading Blackstrap Gingersnaps!

As Katie explains on her site she …began searching for new brands, companies and designers who… Continue reading Ethical Fashion: My First Real Photo Shoot!

[If you’re ever curious about that in more detail, definitely feel free to contact me!] And in the last year or so, I made… Continue reading Some Very Vegan ‘Ventures!
I’m just coming off 30 days of amazing, delicious, healthy, raw, plant-based cuisine and I’m feeling extremely happy and quite light and lean! In fact, I’m about 10 lbs lighter!

If you didn’t already know, I’ve pretty much been on a vegan diet for about two and a half years now. It happened accidentally when I did a cleanse where one of the things I eliminated from my diet was animal products.
