If I’m a hero, you can be too.

Last week I circulated a photo of a desperately sad looking dog behind bars at the Orange County Animal Shelter. I was pleading for someone to step in and rescue her from this notoriously overcrowded shelter where, as a non-puppy and a chihuahua (of which this area has far too many) her chances of being killed forContinue reading “If I’m a hero, you can be too.”

“Pets of the Homeless” Fundraiser

As many of you know, I donate 10% of sales from The Tree Kisser shop to the Love Infinitely Project Animal Fund, which then allocates money and resources to deserving non-profits. Between Feb 15 – Mar 15, the designated recipient of our help was Pets of the Homeless, a national organization focused on providing food,Continue reading ““Pets of the Homeless” Fundraiser”

Olivine Perfume GIVEAWAY!

If you saw my recent Instagram post, you know how thrilled I was to discover Olivine Atelier perfume, a relatively new vegan, cruelty-free scent collection!

Saving Nero

Hendrick Boards is among my favorite companies in existence. Run by two brothers, this skateboard & apparel company donates a massive amount of their profits (typically around 40%, depending on the item) to independent, deserving animal rescue organizations (they have more than 300 rescue partners!). When you shop with them, the donation sparked by yourContinue reading “Saving Nero”

Creamy Chipotle Tomato Quinoa with Miso Ginger Tofu

This isn’t a recipe so much as it is (hopefully) an inspiration for you to create your own version using whatever you can find in your fridge/cupboard! That’s exactly how this dish came to be.

Bean & Lentil Chili with Corn Muffins

I have an addiction to recipes by Isa Chandra Moskowitz for The Post Punk Kitchen. As much as I like to design my own meals, theppk.com is where I go whenever I need inspiration or a quick idea. Her recipes never let me down! This meal was inspired by what she called “Meat Beany Chili &Continue reading “Bean & Lentil Chili with Corn Muffins”
