etsy: vegan lip balms

so excited to add some new products to my Etsy line.  i'm splitting my shop up with kitsch + fancy focusing on beauty and home products.  i made these adorable little vegan Blood Orange lip balms today.  i also made a tinted version since i love a hint of color with my lip gloss.  the product development part of this is fun!  on my near future agenda.... soy candles!

it's been so much fun researching and making stuff while watching Ru Paul's Drag Race.  my new life at home has been awesome thus far.

lunch at Luna's.

last day at Luna's.  bittersweet.  had some fun times-- and it was nice to be back in the rowdy environment of a kitchen.  a nice break from retail but reminded me how it's back breaking work and i probably am too old for it!  it was nice to be re-inspired by food again after a few years of terrible food court meals at the mall.  for my last day i ordered the Spinach Parmesan Temptation.  Luna's Spinach Temptation! You'll get an abundant serving of raw Spinach, Onions and Cherry Tomatoes tossed in out home-made Brazilian Nut "Parmesan" Dressing, accompanied by a marinated Carrot and Beet Salad! 

recipe: Vegetarian Soy Philly Cheesesteaks

one of my favorite easy go-to dinners when i'm feeling lazy and tired after a long day:  SANDWICHES!

this "healthy" philly cheesesteak is made with Trader Joe's vegetarian soy beef strips, yellow and green bell peppers, and grilled onions.  saute and add seasonings (salt and pepper, crushed red pepper, garlic powsder, etc) and top on a toasted hoagie roll with some melted cheese (i uses low-fat mozzarella--provolone is better!)

a cool day

such a cool day at work today!  woody harrelson and flea came in to eat at Luna's today!  i made them a couple of tasty green juices and a raw banana ice cream.  in my mind...we were on an awesome triple date and nobody else was there.  i asked juli if i could go home and put on some makeup and doll up a little but she said no.  *dangit*
