Frequently Asked Questions:
- What inspired you to become vegan?: A friend sparked my curiosity and I literally became vegetarian overnight. About 6 months later I gave veganism a try, and loved it. Since then I've been constantly educating myself on how to be the best vegan I can be!
- Why did you start the blog?: I found myself talking about veganism and the environment all the time, and I didn't have an outlet. I was inspired by my friend Siel's blog Green LA Girl, so I just got on Blogger and started writing. A few months later I started doing videos because of my film background, and the rest is history!
