Healthy Eating Habits
When it comes to dispensing health advice, it seems impossible to prescribe strictly one method for a group of individuals; We’re all motivated differently. For example, some people prefer weaning off of a bad habit gradually whereas others, like myself, need to cut something off cold turkey for the change to stick. However, through my own personal experience and health journey, I have found that there are some key points to keep in mind and can be easily incorporated into your life.

The Best Natural Cleaning Products
Ammonia makes you cough and choke, Comet smells like the bathrooms of Miss Hannigan’s orphanage. But you want to make your home or apartment shine like the top of the Chrysler building!

Of course, you can always make your own from simple ingredients like vinegar, lemon juice, water, and essential oils, but when you don’t have the time or the inclination to do it yourself, pick up one of these scrubs, soaps, or sprays and get to making everything sparkle.

Sometimes you feel like Ophelia, Hamlet’s tragic love, being commanded to “paint an inch thick” - and with ingredients that came from who knows where. If you’re intentional about what you’re putting in your body, it’s also important to know what’s going on your body, because pores (you know, those tiny holes in your skin that let things inside). While it can be discouraging to find products that you feel good about using, it’s getting easier to find organic-conscious makeup and skincare lines all the time. These fresh-faced choices from beauty companies who really care about where their ingredients come from will have you looking at your morning routine in a whole different way.

A Vegan Thanksgiving to Make Carnivores Jealous
There’s one holiday meal each year that I just always kind of dread. It’s not Easter, with the ham and potatoes and luscious spring-themed desserts; it’s not the Fourth of July, with the burgers and lemonade and homemade ice cream. It’s definitely not Valentine’s Day, with the fancy chocolate desserts of your romantic dreams. It’s...Thanksgiving. I know! So American, right? But there’s something about staring at a monochromatic plate of turkey (tastes like turkey), mashed potatoes (am I supposed to be excited?), rolls (yum, but still bland), stuffing (mushy reconstituted bread what?), and gravy (it’s brown...again) that just doesn't do it for me. Everything that I do enjoy about Thanksgiving tends to be made of plants - the bright, tangy cranberry sauce, the green beans or asparagus or brussels sprouts, the complex, spicy pumpkin pie. So when it comes to creating a perfect vegan turkey-day feast, I’m all about ditching any lame tofurky poultry substitute and walking on the wild side. See if these brilliant vegan Thanksgiving switch-it-up meal ideas don’t have your meat-eating friends and relations turning sneaking forkfuls from your plate and asking for the recipe.
