Right to Bare Face
One of my Forty Acts was to spend a day out of the house ungroomed. This wasn’t too terribly hard for me. These days I rarely wear makeup and I’ve never known how to do anything to my hair except tie it into a boppity ball on the top of my head. There was certainly a… Read more »

Women Supporting Women
I used to be one of those girls that rolled with the dudes. “I don’t really get along with girls,” said naive, ignorant, high school-Erica. I thought shunning my gender made me cool. I was trying to be one of the guys, which included joking around and making snarky comments about other girls behind their… Read more »

Almond Meal and No-Bake Coconut Hemp Macaroons
After I made the Almond Milk and the Almond Pulp Hummus videos, people were asking me how to turn their leftover almond pulp into almond meal, an option I had mentioned but had never actually tried…UNTIL NOW! Almond meal is pretty much awesome. It’s gluten-free, if you roll that way. You can substitute some of… Read more »

The Colors of Culver City
Many of my friends who have never visited Southern California assume it’s all cement and smog. It’s true, we have much work to do to clean up our air. But the thing I love most about living here is the lushness! Just a walk through my neighborhood (Culver City), and the variety of colors, textures, shapes,… Read more »

Daddy
Today is my dad’s birthday. I love my daddy a ton. Both of my parents are super helpful. They’re just the best people to have around if you need an extra hand. When I forgot my performance shoes for a Show Choir concert in middle school, my dad rushed home and back in record time to… Read more »

Glass and Plastic
I’ll admit, I can’t keep up with all the studies and scare-tactics surrounding personal health and environmental impact, especially when it comes to food storage. I prefer glass to store food rather than plastic, but if you have plastic tupperware, I wouldn’t recycle it just yet! My rule of thumb is simple. If foods are purchased… Read more »

Forty Acts
Somehow the weeks flew by and the start of one of my favorite holidays totally snuck up on me! Yesterday was Ash Wednesday and the start of Lent! Now, let me preface this by saying I don’t practice or subscribe to any particular religion. Nor was I raised in a household that actively practiced a… Read more »

Slow Cooker Thai Chicken Soup
I received my beautiful purple crock-pot for Valentine’s Day last year. So I guess you could say I recently celebrated the anniversary of the most amazing relationship I’ve ever been in. Oh how I love the convenience of plopping a bunch of ingredients into the slow cooker, pressing a button, and LEAVING IT ALONE. Next… Read more »
