101 Vegan Chocolate Recipes + GOING VEGAN?!

<a href="http://www.tomoson.com/?code=TOPa2d23825a868177fe7a5f180dc1a2036" rel="nofollow"><img style="display: none" src="http://www.tomoson.com/images/front/pixel.png" /></a> I have recently been arguing with myself about going vegan. With so many upsides when it comes to my health and energy levels and only a few downsides it was hard to talk myself out of it. One thing that I am constantly thinking when considering going vegan is how much I will have to give up or replace with something that is not as good. This was one thing that was holding me back.

After reading this book and seeing all the gooey, chocolatey recipes in it I have officially decided that I want to go vegan. This is not going to be an immediate thing because I am first going to transition into a vegetarian diet and then into a vegan diet some time in the future. Things like this can't just be decided overnight so I am going to take my time with it and do more research.

My favorite recipe in here is by far the chickpea blondies. They are so good and you would never have even guessed that their was chickpeas in it. I love that there is a really healthy and easy way to eat chocolate while still maintaining a vegan diet.

I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are 100% my own.

How To Properly Clean And Condition Your Makeup Brushes

I can't possible be the only person that struggles with cleaning makeup brushes. It's a hassle and sometimes it's difficult depending on what the brush was used for. That being said, it is crucial to clean them frequently to ensure that you aren't smearing bacteria on your face every time you apply makeup. Let's be honest it's kind of disgusting.

Pour equal amounts dish soap and olive oil on to the plate.

Step 2:

Pray For Orlando

My heart is very heavy today with the news of the massacre in Orlando. At 2 a.m. in the gay bar Pulse a gunman killed fifty people and injured even more than that. It was an act of hatred and bigotry and is classified as a terrorist attack. The gunman, Omar Mateen, was a 29 year old man who was said to be an anti-gay extremist. According to reputable news sites he has been killed.The death toll makes this the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history.

I wanted to write this blog post for more than one reason. Reason one being to urge people to go donate to the GoFundMe page to help with this tragedy. My second reason is to urge anyone with a voice, big or small, to spread love in the face of blatant hatred and promote peace despite this chaos. The world is a scary, terrible place but we can fight to make sure that nothing like this ever happens again. I pray for all of the people and families affected by this terrible act of hatred. I can't understand what you must be going through but just know that there are people out there who care about you and are thinking of and praying for you.

The Moving Chronicles

Chapter One: My Room!

Today started late which is not really surprising as it seems like that is the new normal for us. Benjamin woke me up at around nine a.m. and we nursed, edited the video, then got up to have breakfast. But of course what would breakfast be without no clean dishes. My laundry is at my mom's house because I forgot it there when I went to visit and so that means that along with no clean dishes I also have no clean cloths to wash dishes with... Go figure.

So after taking a moment to bask in the chaos that is my household I figured it out and we ate breakfast and after that came nap time... Or should I call it wake-up-every-time-mommy-puts-me-in-my-crib time. So he slept for about five minutes in my arms and is now awake and eating a hanger. Does it make me a terrible mother that I am not stopping him? Maybe.

Anyways, I decided to start a project in my home in order to conserve some sort of sanity and some sort of delusion that I have any sort of control. That project is setting my room up. I have already set the nursery up and unfortunately when I set that up I moved everything that did not have a place into my room... Bad move. So this is what my room, if you can even call it that, looks like:

What a mess! I don't function well in mess at all and I become very lazy and very depressed so I think that it is definitely time to get this place cleaned up! 

After almost three hours, two naps, two diaper changes, and one poop explosion we are left with this:

Now that's a room! I am so happy that I cleaned it up because as much as I would like to have procrastinated I feel a million times better sleeping in a clean room and having my space be as organized as it can be right now.I still have a long way to go with this apartment but I have decided to take it one step at a time.

Until next time...

These changes will be that it will no longer be only a review blog but also a blog where I can talk about mommy related things, baby related things, beauty related things, DIY's my family, and my life. I want this to be an outlet for me to talk to you guys and vent!
