2. How on EARTH do you cook/find substantial meals without any meat/dairy/eggs?
3. The Navigation of Shopping
4. Don't Say The "V" Word
5. The Alignment of My Ethos
When people ask me why I am vegan, most people expect me to have a single response. Like “for the animals” or “the environment” or “for my health”, when in reality, at least for me, being vegan is about attaining full spectrum, holistic wellness for myself.
The environmental impact of animal agriculture and consumption is something I continue to learn about. The suffering of sentient beings and how human consumption impacts ecosystems around the world.
Yes, I know that my nutrition and physical health is thriving because of all the goodness that I am putting into my body. I work out to help my body reach its fullest potential and be healthy, physically and mentally. I feel good about what I am doing for myself and my body, and I feel good that I am doing right by the world in which I live.
I love being vegan and I am happy being vegan. I have found that being vegan is just as good for my mental health as it has my physical health.
I am not only feeding myself with goodness, I am feeding my soul with goodness.
That’s why I full-heartedly believe that veganism is about the full spectrum of wellness. Pretty People Eat Plants is about knowing that you are in alignment with what is best for your body, your mind, and your spirit. That is what makes a pretty person, inside and out.

You are so amazing. What stores do you usually do your grocery shopping at? Do you ever stock up on water? Can you possibly do more in store grocery shopping videos? It would be awesome if you could show how you do your full shopping

Thank you SO much for the kind words! Because I live in south TX, I do majority of my grocery shopping at H.E.B (big local grocer chain). Otherwise, I like to go to Trader Joe's and local Markets! I will gladly do more to show/talk about how I shop in the near future :)
