Here’s some of the things I’ve been making dur Here’s some of the things I’ve been making during self-isolation. And these are raw, unfiltered and not styled photos! Do you think the end of the curated fake world of Instagram is now over? No one can travel, we can’t eat at vegan restaurants (and you’ve gotten takeout), no one gives a shit about putting on makeup for a photoshoot right? I would love if Instagram went back to the days before “influencers” ads, and algorithms. Just real people posting photos of their life. Ah, the good old days. How are you holding up? What is one thing you’ve made that you just fell in love with? I need new ideas. I’m in day 19 over here. If you need some inspiration, my 28 day online vegan cooking program is still only $12.99. Enjoy! Sorry I don’t have more photos. I’ve been sharing in stories and I forget to save the photos. .. . . . . . #cookies #veganfoodporn #yogateacher #retreat #quarantine #healthy #vegancooking #veganchef #veganfoodshare #igfood #portugal #veganinportugal #covid19 #learntocook #selfcare #blissfulretreat
DAY 15 of self-isolation. Things are a bit more em DAY 15 of self-isolation. Things are a bit more emotional now. As an extrovert I’m really missing my friends, seeing smiling faces at my favorite vegan restaurants, going on dates, and general human contact and touch. I’m thankfully I have close neighbors to chat with but that gives me the very basic level of interaction I need to not fully go insane. Their animals are comforting too. How are you doing? I do see a light at the end of the tunnel and I’m trying to stay optimistic. But this shit ain’t easy.

What do we need right now? STILLNESS. We need stil What do we need right now? STILLNESS. We need stillness in our hearts and minds as people around us panic and our lives get disrupted. Now is not the time to freak out and create dread about a future we can’t predict. So be still. You don’t need to stock up on dried goods and toilet paper. Enjoy a less hurried life for just a couple of weeks. I welcome the break from trying to be social and making new friends here in Portugal. Sucks for my dating life though. One guy already said he isn’t dating for a couple of weeks. This is how you know things are getting serious. 🤣 I think I’ll start a new book and find some good hikes to do. Sending lots of stillness your way!! . . . . . . #yogateacher #stillness #meditation #yoga #gohiking #readabook #coronavirus #covid19 #vegantravel #portugal #restandrelax #tourism #yogaretreat #blissfulretreat #blissedout #calmdown #selcare
Yesterday I got to experience my first Carnaval!! Yesterday I got to experience my first Carnaval!! We took a trip to Sesimbra, which is a cute little beach town south of Lisbon with great street art and one of the best Carnaval parades. It was awesome and not too crowded. It was interesting to see the costumes, some teenagers were barely wearing anything and it got me thinking of how people were losing their shit because of the super bowl halftime show (and how puritanical Americans are!!). They would have flipped. Different cultures, more body acceptance, less policing of women’s bodies!! So glad I don’t live in the US anymore. Anyways, have you been to a Carnaval parade. . . . . . . . #portugal #tourism #carnaval #brazil #dance #lisbon #sesimbra #bodypositivity #portuguese #daytrip #dametraveler #glt #wanderlustportugal #igportugal #photooftheday #music #festival
So first week in Portugal is in the books! I reall So first week in Portugal is in the books! I really lucked out because I found a room for rent with some lovely vegetarians who have a farm with this morning view from my bedroom. Not complaining!! I’m loving it here and sleeping so soundly. I learned how to make a fire too. This city girl is going to learn the ways of country life soon enough!! Have a great weekend! . . . . . . #portugal #pt #vegantravel #travel #newlife #digitalnomad #yogateacher #yogaretreat #ahimsa #veganyogi #veganchef #sunrise #landscape #happiness #happyplace #farmlife #countryside #veganportugal
I’m kind of embarrassed about the fact that I’ I’m kind of embarrassed about the fact that I’ve lived in Berlin for over 1.5 years and have never written a blog post about it. I’ve eaten a lot of meals here and I promise to write up a long post of all my favorites. I’ve got 9 days left to eat all the food. Think I can manage? Tonight I had a pizza date at La Stella Nera, where I had this delectable dessert called cream caramel. I’ve included more food porn from #Berlin for you to drool over. What are your favorites? Share with me in the comments and I will try to fit it in! . . . . . . #veganfoodporn #vegantravel #veganberlin #foodporn #pizza #burgers #germany #happycow #veganfoodshare #dametraveler #glt #veganwomenwhotravel #emigrate #europe #italianfood #vegandonuts #veganinberlin #ahimsa #yogi #fitchicks #veganforlife #dessert #goodbye
Guess I should post my top 9 from 2019! Some of th Guess I should post my top 9 from 2019! Some of these photos weren’t actually taken in 2019 but that’s alright. It’s a pretty good representation of my year: vegan food, activism, travel, friends, turning 40 and my dad who I lost. It was a pretty okay year but I don’t have anything profound to say. 2019 kind of flew by amiright??!! Turning 40 and then losing a parent was not easy. That consumed much of the 2nd half of the year and left me with more anxiety than I’ve ever experienced before. I’m just trucking along trying to stay positive and blissful through all the muck. I’m hoping 2020 allows me to find a new home in Portugal and a new direction in life. I’m ready to settle down, make a home, continue to grow and learn and share my gifts with the world. Hope you have lots of joy in your life in 2020. What is something you are excited about? . . . . . . #top9of2019 #veganberlin #berlin #paris #birthday #thisis40 #yogi #veganyogi #dametraveler #glt #vegantravel #veganfoodshare #foodporn #sushi #healthy #veganrecipes #veganchef #yogaretreat #spain #portugal #veganforlife
It’s about that time! The only diet related reso It’s about that time! The only diet related resolution you should be making this year is to eat more vegan meals. It’s really easy and it’s good for the animals, planet, and you. It’s not a “diet” and isn’t about losing weight - it’s a lifestyle choice that brings compassion and joy to the world in a ripple effect. There’s nothing else you can do that will have a greater impact in 2020. How cool is that!?! I can help. My website has tons of information to help you go vegan. Also my Ultimate Vegan Kitchen Makeover course is a 28 day program that will transform your life, kitchen, heart, and mind. But really, what are you waiting for? What is holding you back? I’d love to help! . . . This is one of the many delicious breakfast options at the all vegan French patisserie @ladureexmk. It’s a must next time you are in Los Angeles!! . . . #vegan #brunch #beverlyhills #california #veganfoodporn #veganfoodshare #newyears #2020 #veganforlife #vegancalifornia #veganyogi #yogi #ahimsa #dametraveler #glt #california #french #patisserie #vegantravel #blogger #foodblogger #veganrecipes #govegan #happycow @happycow #veganchef
Happy holidays to everyone, whatever you do or don Happy holidays to everyone, whatever you do or don’t celebrate!! I’m in Portugal but thankfully not spending the holidays alone. A lovely vegan lady invited me to her family’s yesterday and we made a feast (see my stories!!) and today I spend the day with @nomadic_vegan which I’m so excited about. Dante the cat is feeling festive. The sun is out and life is good! Wishing you the best. ❤️
Who’s in love with brunch as much as me? Let me Who’s in love with brunch as much as me? Let me show you the vegan food porn from Los Angeles!! I had the pleasure of going to the new Fresh with @adashofvegan and we had the most fabulous brunch. Look at that work of art!! These waffles were piled high with berries, granola, nuts, and edible flowers topped with the best raspberry sauce I’ve ever had and a dollop of cashew whip. But first I had the mushroom coffee latte which was rich and creamy and didn’t taste like mushrooms at all 😜 Definitely get over there for brunch if you are in Los Angeles!! . . . . . . . . #vegan #veganfoodporn #waffles #pancakes #veganfoodshare #whatveganseat #california #losangeles #weho #wehoeats #veganla #happycow #gifted #foodreview #glt #vegantravel #ahimsa #yogi #yogieats #veganforlife #fresh #veganchef #dametraveler #healthy #balance
Last weekend in Los Angeles (and the previous week Last weekend in Los Angeles (and the previous week in Texas) gave me the love and good vibes I need to make it though the rest of the year and winter! It’s hard when your closest friends live all the way across the world. Kelli says I’m really good at keeping in touch, so when we finally do see each other years later it’s like we never skipped a beat. My friends mean the world to me and I do try my best to stay in touch but it’s not easy. Do you have friends far away? How do you keep that friendship alive? Share your tips with me in the comments. Oh and I met @moby at his restaurant @littlepinerestaurant, which was also a highlight of my trip!! . . . . . . . #losangeles #vegan #whatveganseat #vegansofig #gamechangers #glt #california #friends #veganforlife #animalrights #whatveganslooklike #fitover40 #vegantravel #veganfood #yogi #40sclub #veganchef #dreamcometrue #truefriends #dametraveler #ahimsa #veganfoodporn
Oh hi! It’s nearly 4 in the morning in Texas and Oh hi! It’s nearly 4 in the morning in Texas and I’ve got jet lag! Probably no one will see this post but whatevs. This is one of my favorite poses to open and stretch the quads. Sitting at a computer all day (or on a plane for 10 hours straight!) can leave the hip flexors really f-ing tight. Frankly it leaves the whole front body tight, so in yoga we stretch and open it up to create balance in the body. Don’t have access to a yoga studio? Check out YouTube where there’s plenty of free yoga videos for all levels no matter your age or experience! . . I’m back in Texas trying to sort out my fathers estate and organize my money situation so I can fulfill my dream of buying property to open a retreat center in Europe. It’s not going to be an easy journey, but that isn’t going to stop me! 📷: @christinaisblue . . . . . . . #pigeon #yogi #yogateacher #travel #glt #texas #retreat #grief #whatveganslooklike #veganchef #fitand40 #ahimsa #yogapose #vegansofig #fitchicks #health #wellbeing #yogapractice
