A DIRTY WORD

For years, "vegan" was a dirty, rarely uttered word, associated with an uninspiring diet of flavorless brown rice and steamed vegetables, ill-fitting hemp clothing and unpalatable pretension. 

We are so fortunate to be living through a culinary and nutritional renaissance, when healthy, cruelty-free food and a compassionate lifestyle are steadily being accepted and gaining popularity.  

This blog is my playground for sharing all my favorite pastimes - food, fashion, beauty and travel - and approaching them with a conscience. It's a compilation of my vegan discoveries, adventures and mishaps.  The hope is to create a destination where vegans and the vegan-curious troops can rally to support and encourage each other. 

Yea, I believe we can have our vegan gluten-free cake AND eat it, too. Let's do this. 

Be dirty. Be rotten. Be vegan.
