September was hugely busy and I kept seeing pics of the Vegan Cuts September Beauty Box online but just never got the chance to even OPEN my box so at the weekend I made time and used some of the products from this month, and previous months. So here's my review and breakdown of the Vegan Cuts September Beauty Box with links (which may be affiliate links) and a total value. Remember you sign up for October at Vegan Cuts! It's really one of the best things I've done. Great vegan, cruelty free, …

Vegan Options at Johnny Rockets: The Streamliner
Yesterday morning we went to an advanced screening of PAN. Being Bafta members has perks and advanced screenings are one of them (along with parties, plus some pretty freakin' awesome Q&A events!). Anyways PAN was great, I really enjoyed it and Hugh Jackman was so good as BlackBeard! The movie was screened at the Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles at 10am which meant when we got out 2 hours later we were starving hungry. In that area of Los Angeles there are a few vegan options but in that area …
BodyPump 95 Playlist
Tomorrow is the quarterly launch of the latest Les Mills releases at Gold's Gym, and a few other gyms in the area so I figure why not do you all a solid favor and get the playlist on the blog early for me. No seriously it's ok, you're welcome. As always I like to let you know that links in this post may be affiliate links meaning I earn a small commission on purchases made through the links which means you end up supporting what seems to be an obsession with Fabletics (review coming soon) …
Review: Beyond Meat Beast Burger
I know Summer doesn't officially end for another two weeks but here in the United States Labor day is pretty much the announcement that Summer is done and fall is coming. Summer and school supplies go on sale and Halloween and Thanksgiving items appear again. Rumor has it the pumpkin spice latte is already back at Starbucks! Labor day is also the last holiday before Thanksgiving and tends to be the final BBQ 'event' of the season, so today I'm sharing our recent experience and review of the …
Review: Vegan Cuts Beauty Box – August 2015
This week saw the arrival of my monthly beauty box from Vegan Cuts. I'm going to say right now that hands down this is the best box I've received from them. Which as I've loved all the boxes, and only had ONE product in the four months that I've been subscribing that I haven't been able to use that's a pretty good stat! So what's the Vegan Cuts Beauty Box? It's a monthly subscription service that contains 100% vegan, cruelty free and mostly organic beauty products. In each box you get a variety …
Vegan Cuts Beauty Box July 2015
When I got home from IDEA World Fitness convention and Blogfest I had a few surprises waiting for me. First was this July Vegan Cuts Beauty Box! The other was confirmation that I'm now an affiliate for Vegan Cuts!!! This is my third box and so far I am LOVING the subscription service. I pay for all my Vegan Cuts boxes but will be including affiliate links in this and future posts (plus the lovely banner on the right there) so I will earn a small commission on products purchased through those …
Reusable produce bags for Meatless Monday Shopping
It's a new month and one of my goals this month is to get back on track with food shopping, menu planning and eating REAL food. The last few weeks were insanely busy with work, Blogfest, IDEA World and yoga training. Plus I had to renew my NASM, had my BFF birthday, Bobs birthday and well just regular LIFE on top of that. So finding time for grocery shopping was tough, finding time to cook from scratch was even tougher. However I'm committed to getting back on track, and went grocery …
Running with dogs – handsfree leash
After taking 8 weeks off from running to rehabilitate a knee injury I sustained earlier in the year, both Bob and I started running again at the beginning of July. Obviously we started slow and short and I'm up to running 2 miles, and Bob did a 5k last week. To keep Pixel in tip top shape we've been taking him out on our runs too. He doesn't have a great attention span, and I've fallen over him once already but he loves being with us, and loves to run so today I'm sharing some tips on …
7 benefits of drinking lemon water
Since I have Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) I'm always looking for ways to take care of my own health, naturally. Back in the days before the internet, yep I'm a dinosaur, before I was even interested in working in the health and fitness industry, I read that animal protein taxes the kidneys. So I quit eating meat and went vegetarian. Now over 20 years later I'm vegan, don't drink caffeine, eat a low sodium diet, and ensure I thoroughly hydrate each day. All my life I'd heard how lemon water …
