All Natural Homemade Conditioner for Hair Growth/Health

October 9, 2020 by Jillian Leave a Comment

All Natural Homemade Conditioner for Hair Growth/Health

Growing up I had a big head of straight, brown hair. When I hit puberty, my hair became wavy and fine. It was never an issue because I had LOTS of hair, but it slowly began thinning. Recently, in the past several months, I have been shedding more than usual, to the point where it really concerned me. I was convinced it was a hormonal imbalance, but so far all of my blood tests have come back normal. There are other tests I can take to try to pin down the problem, and in the meantime, I want to treat the hair loss naturally. I found a great recipe that I have been making at home and share it in the video below!

My Favorite All Natural Beauty Products

December 27, 2016 by Jillian Leave a Comment

my favorite all natural beauty products

I’m all about using natural foods as beauty products – apple cider vinegar toner, turmeric facial masks, coconut oil for skin and hair – and I would love to hand make everything myself, but that’s just not realistic right now. I’m sure at one point in the future I’ll be making my own shampoo and lip balm and even makeup. It’s actually not that difficult once you have the ingredients and tools. But for now, I’ve found my favorite store-bought beauty items that are vegan, cruelty free and contain lots of all natural ingredients as opposed to chemicals.

Here are my favorite beauty must haves!

Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

June 28, 2016 by Jillian Leave a Comment

chocolate chip banana bread

Did you know that you don’t need eggs, butter, milk, or wheat flour to make delicious baked goods? If you’re vegan and/or gluten free you already know that, or maybe you aren’t either of those but you’re in the loop about these things 😉

It’s a myth that you need wheat and dairy to create moist and tasty bread, cookies, cakes, basically everything 🍪 🍰 🍩

Today’s recipes is one of my favorites that I make often, and I like it because you can bend the recipe based on what ingredients you have on hand. It also works in muffin or scone form! This Chocolate Chip Banana Bread is full of hearty, plant based ingredients with lots of chocolate banana-y goodness that is moist with every single bite!

Loco for Miyoko’s: Artisan Vegan Cheese

loco for miyoko's: artisan vegan cheese

artisan vegan cheese

I’m a cheese nut 🧀🐭

In this case, it’s okay because Miyoko Schinner of Miyoko’s Kitchen uses nuts to make delicious artisan vegan cheeses. When life gives you nuts, make cheese 😛

Even though I got to sample some of Miyoko’s cheeses at the Vida Vegan Con Bazaar in Austin last summer, I wanted to dig into my very own wheel of vegan cheese and if I happened to eat it all in one sitting, no one would know or judge me 🙈

Fully Loaded Vegan Mac n’ Cheez

fully loaded vegan mac n' cheez

Cheesy! Cheesy! Cheesy! I love anything and everything cheesy, and thanks to the miracle of vegan cheese and nutritional yeast, I never to have to live without it.  #blessed ❤️

In all seriousness, this is a really yummy recipe that is perfect for those comfort food cravings that everyone gets, even gluten-free vegans 🙋 Not only is it free of animal product and tons of over processed ingredients, it’s actually kinda healthy and contains wonderful things like turmeric, veggies, and raw cashews. That means it also contains protein, healthy fats, and antioxidants. High five!

Even though I have this recipe categorized under “Dinner,” it’s great for lunch, parties, or to make in a big batch to take to work with you. It’s incredibly filling and satisfying, and easy to reheat. Now that I’ve talked up this creamy, savory bowl of cheesy heaven, read on to see how simple it is to make Fully Loaded Vegan Mac n’ Cheez!

HEY THERE! I’M JILLIAN.

I live near Houston, Texas with my rescue dog Stella! I create cruelty-free recipes that are delicious, to demonstrate that it's easy to follow a plant-based lifestyle. Not only are the health and beauty benefits noticeable, but it creates a more sustainable planet and keeps our animal friends safe & happy. In our spare time, Stella and I also love watching movies, reading, snuggling, and taking long walks! LEARN MORE…
