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!

Buffalo Cauliflower Bites

vegan buffalo cauliflower bites

“Wings” made from cauliflower are pretty popular around Super Bowl time to replace the non-version wings that are served up at all the parties. I’m a couple of months late for the Super Bowl, so maybe these can be Easter wings??? In my opinion, cauliflower wings are perfect any time of the year, including these buffalo cauliflower bites. They have just the right amount of tang and spiciness. They are also very filling, which causes a quandary because they are so delicious it is hard to stop eating them! Check out my brand new recipe video below for these tasty little bites 💃

Kid Friendly Vegan Goulash

amerian goulash

Before I made this recipe, I had heard of goulash before but honestly had no clue what it actually was. It wasn’t until my roommate at the time made a non-vegan version of it and told me how easy it was, that I decided to do a little investigating. Traditional goulash originates from Hungary and consists of a soup or stew with meat and vegetables, seasoned with paprika and other spices.

American goulash, on the other hand, is more of a spaghettios-on-crack-type-situation. It usually includes elbow macaroni, ground beef, onions & garlic, tomato sauce and the option of cheese. My roommate gave me the recipe for the latter and it sounded super easy to veganize, so I gave it a try. This vegan goulash is a very savory, filling comfort food with plant based protein and only takes about half an hour to make a huge pot. Kids will love it because it’s a simple, tasty dish! Oh, and it’s gluten free too!

Let’s get cooking 🔪🍝🍴🍅

The 5 Best All-Natural Oils For Your Face

March 9, 2016 by Jillian Leave a Comment

5 best all natural oils for your face

I don’t know about you, but I get really excited talking about oils 🙌 🌟

In a day and age when companies market their over processed, chemical-ridden skincare products as “all natural,” “moisturizing,” “anti-aging,” and so on, it’s nice to know I can depend on plants to save the day 🌿 As a vegan, I depend on plants for food and they provide all the nourishment I need. But they’re also the safest and most effective choice when it comes to skincare as well. For thousands of years, people used plants as medicine – and it worked. But today, consumers want eye catching packaging, famous spokespeople, and great marketing. It’s all smoke and mirrors. Do your research and you’ll realize that none of those products are actually good for your skin, in fact, some of them are terrible for your skin and your whole body.

If you go to my Health & Beauty page, you can read my Be Beautiful Inside and Out series that discusses what ingredients to stay away from and why, as well as the importance of picking humane beauty products that are not animal tested, and how chemicals infiltrate every part of our lives.

Kind of overwhelming to realize how much junk is in the products you may have been purchasing and using for years. I’m guilty of it myself. I now use all natural oils on my face each morning and night as my moisturizer and my face feels like a baby 👶

Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding

This may be the most beautiful recipe I’ve shot yet! And it’s not because of my mad photography skills – all the credit goes to the food and it’s natural beauty💄💅 Not to mention, this chia seed pudding allows me to consume chocolate in breakfast form. Now I just gotta work on lunch and dinner.

I’ve made this recipe a handful of times since photographing it and I love it because it’s so simple to make. Simple is good since I’m one of those people that wakes up and refuses to talk or make contact with anyone until I’ve had coffee and breakfast + a substantial amount of time to process the fact that it’s morning and I’m awake. So basically, I’m delightful. 👿
