Better*Faster*Stronger

It’s been a while (not that I think anyone is actually checking my often but whatever). I’ve been continuing my transition to Veganism with several hiccups here and there. I’ve been vegetarian for 9 months which is cool but I feel like I haven’t achieved much yet because I’m not fully vegan. Today I dragged my ass out of bed early and went to the New England Vegfest which was about an hour from where I live. IT WAS AMAZING!! I ate all the samples!! There was a vegan vietnamese place with these “beef” teriyaki skewers to die for!!!! The only thing I didn’t really get to eat was dessert. There was one really popular place but the line literally wrapped around the entire place and I’m not about that waiting life. I also got to sit in on a discussion with the Bite Sized Vegan which was pretty cool too. 

so ive been screwing up a lot lately but have recommitted myself to eating plant based (with the intention of becoming fully ethically vegan). I meal prepped for a week and have been feeling really good. So i started a new job and today we had a bonding event at a waffle restaurant for breakfast. It kind of sucked because I wanted to follow my prep meal for the day, but I also didn’t want to look like an anti-social ass. Arggg what to do?

This morning's breakfast: tofu scramble with a side of strawberries and blueberries

For lunch I had some falafel with onion tomato pita bread and tahini. Made the falafel from a box mix and baked instead of deep frying it. It wasn't too and just kind of dry due to the baking I think.

New obsession. More nice cream, frozen bananas and mixed berries topped with strawberries and blueberries. Can never eat it fast enough before it melts!

As Ive mentioned before I’m planning to (over time)  transition from plant based to vegan. Part of that transition means finding makeup products to replace my current ones. I RARELY wear makeup but when I do I want it to match. However, my fear is that as a Black woman I won’t be able to find many things that match my complexion. Since most brands including non-vegan brands only have 5 shades of beige. Any POC vegans (or others with helpful hints) have suggestions?
