When someone becomes vegan, they often find themselves taking a long, hard look at their lives, and lots of times they decide they want to make changes other than what they are eating and wearing – they want to work toward a more vegan world. “How do I find a vegan job?” or “How can I do work that I feel passionate about?” are questions we frequently hear at Vegan Mainstream, and helping people to make those connections – between their work and their values – is one of our passions

They say it takes 21 days to form a habit! Well, January 21st is nearly upon us, and that means some of us resolution-makers have a shiny new habit that is nearly completely formed. But for the rest of us…well, we may be struggling.

My December vegan food swap package took a little longer to get to me because of the slow holiday mail…but boy was it worth the wait! And I have to say, it was like Christmas all over again, opening up that package to discover all the vegan goodies inside! Thanks to Maggie for the selection of awesome goodies

At Vegan Mainstream, we have had the pleasure of working with Lani Muelrath for the past year as our Health & Fitness Expert.

So we turned the tables a bit and had Lani in for an interview to tell us all about her new book, what’s in it, who it’s for…just to whet your imagination and interest for the big release at the beginning of February!

You can start living a vegan lifestyle at any time of year, but there’s nothing like a NEW year, a FRESH start, to get many people inspired and ready to implement some changes in their lives. Most of us know that if we try to make huge changes all at once – especially based on a date or something else as arbitrary – they don’t stick. So this new year, think of 3 smallish, sustainable steps that you can take to making your life more compassionate, wherever you’re at at the moment

Does December’s end mean it’s time to detox?

Ugh. It seems no matter how focused you’ve tried to be on eating ‘right’ during the holidays, a few too many rich foods have made the journey from plate to palate.
