I am usually so lazy so I thought a little glam was long overdue. All of the items I wore today can, of course, be found on the Organic Bunny store so I will link them all below!

Organic Spicy Red Lentil Mushroom Pasta

by on

As many of you know, Kyle and I have been on a plant-based diet since the start of the new year and honestly, we are obsessed with all of our meals, mostly due to finding a Vegan cheese that contains no soy and actually melts! At first changing to a plant-based diet seems overwhelming and impossible, especially for those meat and cheese loving men like Kyle but so far, we’re so good, we actually have been loving our meals so much we barely go out to eat anymore which is not only better on our health but our wallets as well. I definitely do not have time to blog like a professional food blogger so I apologize in advance if you were hoping for better pics or details ?

Swap It Out- Face Wipes

by on
Do you know what’s hiding in your favorite facial wipe? Take these Oil of Olay wipes for example, the very first ingredient is Petrolatum, followed by PEG-100, two Parabens, lab-made fragrances, Phenoxyethanol, Disodium EDTA, more PEGs, and various other irritating ingredients, not to mention, they are owned by Proctor & Gamble, a brand that still actively tests on animals.
When choosing a facial wipe, or any skincare product for that matter, I also choose fragrance-free as synthetic {fragrance} can have various links to allergic reactions and hormone disruptions. I also personally avoid the use of controversial {Parabens} as there are many studies finding they may cause healthy cells to turn into cancerous cells and more hormone disruptions. Many brands then replace Parabens with {Phenoxyethanol} which still has similar links to skin irritations and is considered a potential neurotoxin. Another synthetic I avoid is {PEG-100} as it has links to kidney toxicity with the possibility of being contaminated with carcinogens.

Organic Bunny Wedding Makeup

by on

Finally, the post you have been waiting for, the Organic Bunny wedding glam break down! Let me start off by saying, my makeup situation was pretty hectic as the green beauty MUA that I use for work projects decided to cancel on me less than a month before my wedding. Even after we did trials and had my green makeup plan entirely set, she still canceled as she said she got booked for some world tour with a celebrity which was a bummer because I was left with minimal time to find a replacement!

Azulik Resort in Tulum Review

by on

Ah, Azulik Resort in Tulum, I had such high hopes for you! Many of you asked how my stay was at Azulik aka the treehouse hotel in Tulum and sadly, it was a true nightmare. I typically do not like to leave negative reviews but our experience was soooo bad, I had to share for those considering this place as an option as we lost thousands on this place. First, yes, this beach is stunning, the rooms overlooking the water, the outdoor swing, the unique structure… it’s all so instagrammable and fab but, the reality is, your actual stay there is anything but. When choosing this place, we did read that there was no- AC, wifi, showers or electricity and honestly, I thought it sounded fun and romantic as I love a good ocean breeze. Turns out, it’s well, not. In attempt to save others the agony, here is my PRO & CON review of the Azulik Resort in Tulum! And no, our whole trip was not this way, we had so much fun at the other resorts, UNICO was totally worth the money in my opinion and I will share more on that soon.

How To Make Clean Protein Shakes

by on

Starting up my new Organic Bunny store has been so much fun, however, my body and overall fitness frequency has taken a serious back seat to it all. That, in combination with wedding planning, home renovations and just life in general really has me in need of a serious health revamp which is why I am going to start posting more healthy recipes to keep myself accountable and hopefully inspire others to do the same! Sometimes we can’t do it all, and that’s ok, but it doesn’t mean that at any point we can’t simply choose to hit the reset button so that’s exactly what I am going to do starting now!

This morning, I really did not want to go on a run but, I forced myself to while the dogs still slept. I woke up, made myself a clean pre-workout drink using the Rootz Nutrition Paleo Energizing Superfood and off I went. The key to making changes is to flat out just start them, it’s really the only option! Just get up, put the workout clothes and force yourself out the door 🙂 I love using this pre-workout drink also because it really does give me a serious boost of clean energy, made with only natural forms of caffeine like Yerba Matte, Asian Ginseng, Matcha Green Tea and more! Simply mix this with water, add a little ice for tastiness and within 30 minutes you will feel a powerful boost of energy for an amazing workout, without the crash.
