When I decided to actually go forward with finding a tattoo artist to make a drawing of my tattoo idea, I started looking at Seattle tattoo artists’ portfolios. I spent weeks combing through online portfolios and looking at hundreds of images of tattoos. In case you don’t already know, Seattle is a haven for tattoos–both […]

Dinner at St. Dames
Last night, my lovely friend Rain (over at Rainblissed blog) took us out for dinner to celebrate the completion of my generals. We went to St. Dames, in the Rainier Valley neighborhood of Seattle. Eric and I go to St. Dames semi-regularly when we’re in the mood for vegan/vegetarian comfort food and when we have some time to […]
Getting Back to Exercise
I’ve had some inquiries from folks about what I do for a workout routine to accompany all the delicious vegan food I spend much of my time eating! This has been a very tough week, and honestly, I think the routine of exercising every morning has really helped. Some background on my relationship with exercise… I’ve always […]
Walk for Farmed Animals- Please Help!
A while back I posted about the Walk for Farmed Animals I’m participating in. I’ve been fundraising a lot and have reach 50% of my goal of $1000. There are just over two weeks until the walk on October 23rd and I’m determined to reach my goal to help formerly farmed animals at Farm Sanctuary. Particularly after […]
Northwest Tea Festival Recap
The tea festival this year was really fun! It was in one of the buildings at Seattle Center and as you entered you were greeted by the Tea Lady’s teapot. The festival was set up differently than last year and was in a different location, so it was difficult for us to determine if there were more […]

Vegan Shopping 101: Thrift Stores
Thrift shopping is a great way to find unique and gently used clothing and other items. Not only can you get some great finds that you couldn’t find elsewhere, thrift shopping is also a way to reuse clothing and resources that have already been produced. Many of the mainstream retail stores use sweatshop labor to produce their […]
Seattle Public Library Fall Book Sale & Giveaway
Twice a year, the Seattle Public Library holds a massive book sale to raise money for the library. They sell books that have been taken out of circulation by the library as well as books donated by Seattle residents. Eric and I have been going to this sale twice a year together since I moved to […]
Pigs Peace Sanctuary
Saturday was my birthday, and I couldn’t imagine a better way to celebrate than to go to Pigs Peace Sanctuary in Stanwood, WA. I had never been to Pigs Peace and had been wanting to go for quite some time. So about a month ago, I made the appointment to go on Saturday with my mom […]
Hiking in the Olympics
Yesterday, we set out early, at 6:30am to catch the 7am ferry boat to Bainbridge Island. Taking the ferry, particularly when it’s cloudy and cool and you can smell the Puget Sound always feels like such a Seattle experience to me. Seagulls flying around, everything muted by the cloudy grey and the air is so fresh […]
