No fur, feathers or leather needed to keep us warm this winter ☃️ It’s snowing here in nyc today (!!!) and I’m staying nice and toasty in my cruelty-free coat. Opting for vegan fashion is a win for the animals, the planet and most of the time, our wallets! There are lots of incredible brands out there to choose from, I’ll tag some in this photo in case you’re in the market for a new coat. Not sponsored or gifted whatsoever, just want to spread the message! Stay warm out there✨ (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5lIyJlgleE/?igshid=1mbbs8klv4x66

Thankful for a lot of things in life, but especially for the things that I don’t have to think about, which is its own bucket of blessings: a breathing body, running water and food to eat, a warm bed to crawl into at the end of a long day. So many small things that we could complain about start with something that we’re lucky to have: a tough boss means that we have income coming through, a messy home means that we have a place to stay and enough stuff to fill it. Whatever we’ve got going on in our lives, because there’ll always be something, we can always find something that’s good ✨ hope your holiday was safe and filled with good food and people, thank you for being here! https://www.instagram.com/p/B5dpX_HABNC/?igshid=p6o3knnzvaq7

Vegan + gf pecan pie bars! 😋 The filling is rich and caramely, and the crust is crunchy and graham-cracker-like. Not a bad contender for your thanksgiving dessert spread, if I do say so myself.

5-ingredient vegan French toast 😋 It’s time for the thanksgiving recipes to start rolling out, but we can’t forget the beauty of a cozy holiday breakfast recipe. These thick slices of toast are soft and gooey on the inside, and crunchy and flaky on the outside. Topped with maple syrup and a melty heart-shaped blob of vegan butter. Recipe is on my blog or head to https://www.megjosephson.com/vegan-french-toast-5-ingredients/ ✨ https://www.instagram.com/p/B442-adgx4U/?igshid=9tcd83un1nln

Something I’ve been thinking a lot about lately is identity... Can we identify with something without it being our identity? Like who would I be if I didn’t have these aspects that are a huge part of my life: my work, my close relationships, my PHONE? Sad to say that but so much opportunity nowadays lies within this little rectangular device. Maybe for you it’s something different, but what about your life do you feel connected to? Who would you be if all of that was gone, if you were just you? Just you, in your body and in your mind. Our moods, happiness and feelings of self-worth are tied to things that are often dependent upon things that are outside of us - if we get that job, the promotion, the crush. But if all of that was taken away, could we still have a strong sense of who we are? I’m asking these questions to as I ask the same ones to myself. Thanks for following along 😌✨ https://www.instagram.com/p/B43KUcrgXSx/?igshid=11kr6d8aqaspc

Woke up this morning feeling a bit burnt out and needed a little break from work...so I went through my horrendously messy closet and set aside some clothes that I don't need anymore. It's a definite privilege to have clothes to give away, and there are lots of ways that you can help someone else make good use out of them! Here are just a few: 👖Donate them to your nearest homeless shelter. Especially as the temperatures start to drop any clothing items help! 👚Find a clothing drive near you. There’s one going on in my apartment building right now which is what inspired me to conquer my closet. You can also give your clothes to thrift shops, they happily take donations! 👔 If you're looking to make a little money, try selling your clothes secondhand (goods apps to use are @poshmark or @depop). By selling your clothes, you're contributing to the flow of secondhand clothing and thus decreasing the demand for fast fashion. Buying secondhand is cheaper, better for the environment and you can find some major gems! Thinking about filming a thrifting video for YouTube.. whatcha think? Hope your week is going smoothly!

It’s Monday and I think we could all use a mug of this 4-ingredient hot chocolate ☕️ sending you virtual cups of it (with marshmallows) and wishing you a lovely start to the week. This week I’m trying to take one task at a time and allowing myself to fully focus on whatever I’m doing without getting distracted by the next thing. Anything you’re focusing on for this week? ✨ https://www.instagram.com/p/B4cfORug0KM/?igshid=ewl4fuvyijpj
