I had a little fun outside of my kitchen and pulled out my water colors to paint these little guys for a Vegan Valentine's Day celebration this year. You don't have to be vegan to make these of course, but they were inspired by my love for fruit! Requirements? A sense of humor, a smile, and base images to work off of from google. But really, you just need water colors, proper paper (from an art store), water and a brush. These were so easy to do, so simple, and so fun! You can even photocopy the one you create, and print dozens of them on a smaller scale to hand out. My version, both with and without text, are available below each image :) Pear (hehe) these with your valentine's favorite vegan sweets +flowers, and you've got yourself the perfect gift.

Instead of tossing your papaya seeds after eating the fruit, make use of them! A lot of people don't know that you can actually use the Papaya Seeds. There are tons of recipes online, which utilize the ingredient for its peppery flavor. Give it a try! You can dry the seeds and use them just as you would peppercorns. Or, make a face mask! This is super simple, and you only need 2 ingredients. Raw Vegan Papaya Seed & Coconut Oil Facial sweetsimplevegan.com

The Easiest and Safest Way To Open A Young Coconut Okay guys, so I know I post about The Coco Jack like cray cray on my Instagram, but I can't help it. I seriously think that David is a genius and I would only overload you with something that I truly enjoy! I have gotten a lot of positive reviews on my account when posting of the tool, so it was only fitting that I shared it on my blog as well, to reach those who are not on Instagram and  stumble across this post.

Easy DIY Cat Collar (Minimal Sewing)In June, I got a new kitty! Her name is Goji and she is the cutest little thing. And I am not being biased, she is adorable! When I started to look for a collar for her, I could not find one in any cute fruit/vegetable prints that I was envisioning. I sat down on my computer, searched etsy and picked a few out, but then I got to thinking: if these people could make these little collars, why can't I? I found a few tutorials (sourced below), ordered the hardware I needed ($1.80!), got my supplies together and made a collar! This tutorial is really simple and can be done in a matter of 15 minutes.

Go Salt-Free With This Healthy & Green Raw Vegan Salt Substitute Being vegan, we all get those questions that, at a certain point, we dread answering. Don't know what I'm talking about? You do, trust me. Let me refresh your memory....
  • Where do you get your protein?
  • But how do you give up cheese? It is just so good.
  • Doesn't this meat smell so good to you?
  • How come you don't eat fish? They aren't technically animals...
  • How do you get full off of just that?
  • Do you get enough nutrients?
  • Don't you feel tired all day?
But the one thing that I have been hearing a lot of lately is "how the heck did you manage to cut salt out of your diet"? My answer to that? CELERY! Yes, Celery! I grew up hating celery. I know hate is a very strong word, but I just could not stand it. It was stringy, hard to chew and swallow, and of a flavor that I felt could not be tamed. But I have realized why that is, it's because celery itself is SALTY. I disliked it alone just as I had disliked salty french fries or saltine crackers. As I have adapted my taste buds in taking on a high raw diet, in some way or another, I have grown to love celery. I can eat it with spreads/dips, almond or peanut butter, in soups, salads, or just plain as is. It is what I needed when first transitioning into a high raw, raw till 4 diet to satisfy my salt cravings, which I no longer have! Go Salt-Free With This Healthy & Green Raw Vegan Salt Substitute

Celery is a good source of vitamin A, choline, vitamin C, niacin, pantothenic acid, Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium, and Phosphorus. Celery also contains Omega-6 fatty acids. So not only will you be adding a punch of that salty flavor your love so much to your food, but also a large variety of beneficial nutrients!

This is a simple and mess free DIY that I know you all will enjoy,  so let's get to it!
