While I don’t personally celebrate any holidays or buy presents for people, I have plenty of ideas for you. Hear me out! It will make sense, I promise. I am not opposed to material gifts, and I will share many in this post, but what I value in myself and others is time. I value attention. I value being heard, hugged, smiled at and understood. And you value all of these things as well. We are absolutely […]

8-Day Vegan Advocacy Challenge.
I believe that speaking up for other animals should be a part of our vegan lifestyle. Not because it helps non-human beings, but because it helps us, too. Being an activist helps us deal with the depression and sadness that we might experience as vegans. It gives us a purpose and motivation to focus on the light instead of the darkness. Vegan advocacy is the way we cope with the cruelty that exists in the world. This […]

Because when we face things that throw stones before our feet, we learn about […]

It didn’t come easy to me, so I want to go deep with this post and share everything that worked for me.

How to inspire your family and friends to go vegan.
I have been vegan for eight years and managed to get my father to go vegan and my sister to eat mainly plant-based. While that sounds like very few people, it actually wasn’t that easy. It started fairly innocent, really. I discovered veganism and was so excited about the whole thing that I wanted everyone to know about it. I was shouting about it from the rooftops. Needless to say, people didn’t like it. I lost a […]
