I wanted to share some of my favorite skincare and beauty products that are currently empty and will require a repurchase because I love them that much! These items are staples in my beauty routines and items I feel I can’t go without. The specific link to where I personally buy each product is below (proceed with your own caution):

If you’d like some in-depth reviews of specific product, please let me know! xo

It was actually amazing!! I got it from -> Loving Hut. Love this place. Quaint, quiet and delicious! 

Anyways.. Even though I am not fully vegan, I actually enjoy eating vegan cheese, it can taste like the real thing, has better macros and less upsetting to my stomach.. While I was in the vegetarian section of the grocery store searching for this cheese <- a young woman approached me asking my opinions on being a vegetarian/vegan and how do you ACTUAL transition to not eating meat?

That’s a good question isn’t it! If you’re so used to eating burgers, wings, nuggets everyday how do you actually transition to eating non-meat products? My response at the time – take it one day at a time. Since then, I thought of some helpful tips to try when transitioning to this new lifestyle:

• 1. RESEARCH – the internet is your savior here. Research the thousands of recipes and restaurants available to you on the internet. Read reviews on favorite vegetarian/vegan products in your local grocery stores. Check out some fellow vegan/vegetarian YouTubers/Bloggers.

• 2. Plan ahead – start trying to pack your lunch and meals ahead of time. Think about what you eat on a daily basis. How can you satisfy yourself and eat those same types of food items on a daily basis without meat? Look for substitutes and alternative, but delicious recipes. You want to enjoy what you eat on a daily basis, not dread it.. That’s how you remain successful.

 NOTE: This does not mean you go out & eat all the chips, cookies and snacks that you like! Just because you are going vegan or vegetarian, does not give you the excuse to overeat junk and processed food all day. You can still be an unhealthy vegan/vegetarian.
​

• ​3. Stick with it! – try to make a goal to see how long you can go on your new lifestyle. A week? Two weeks? A month? Try it out for a certain period of time before you give up. Changing your lifestyle and sticking to something new can be tough; to be successful you must be consistent. Then sooner or later, it will be a piece of cake, you won’t be as tempted and you will see how you can still enjoy some of your favorite foods without meat.​​
