Karinna's 30-day Vegan Challenge!

The CHALLENGE begins August 1st!!

In 2007, I made a lifestyle shift that changed my life!  I chose to eliminate all processed, unhealthy, animal-based foods from my diet permanently!  My energy level soared; I slowed down the effects of aging which showed in my skin, hair, stamina, endurance, and figure; I cleansed out my system and removed harmful toxins, I regulated my organs and reached optimum health within a year; I shocked my doctors and my friends who saw me at my heaviest weight after carrying and giving birth to 3 children within 23 months and losing all extra weight 4 months after having the twins!  Soon after going 100% plant-powered, I became inspired to help others and started a little blog called Verdelicious ("Green and Delicious") and hosted meetups to promote healthy eating and eco-friendly living.

Back then, there were ZERO mainstream vegan restaurants, very few blogs, and NO vegan food sections in the grocery store.  I made everything from scratch from whole foods and farmers market ingredients.

Now, 7 years later, going Vegan is HOT.  Vegan restaurants are easily accessible and Vegan foods are even available in your supermarket and warehouse store!  Even Bill Gates is investing in "Meatless Meat!" by supporting the company Beyond Meat. Celebrities everywhere are taking Vegan Challenges to see how living and eating "CLEAN" can make them feel.  Oprah, Beyonce, Jay-Z, Samuel L Jackson, Ellen, Dennis Kucinich, Bill Clinton...all examples of influencers who have gone fully vegan or took the vegan challenge.  Do you want to perform at your FULLEST potential?  I believe it takes at least one month to see results and regulate your GI tract, get over the cravings, cleanse your palate, and start to feel the energy surge.

I'm launching a 30-day challenge in August to help you incorporate more plant-based foods into your diet.  You don't need to commit to a lifetime of giving up your healthy seafood or cage-free eggs, or free-range meats...simply commit to 30 days of PURITY and clean eating for YOU, for your community, local economy, and for the planet.  Going Vegan even a few days a week brings a circle of compassion around you and impacts all of these things.

Vegan is not a diet, Vegan is a lifestyle of peace, compassion, and health.   For those of you truly considering making the transition for life, going vegan also means you care for the planet around you and make choices that help your local economy and don't harm the environment,

olsen Haus - Cruelty-Free Never Looked This Sexy!


The Vegan Lifestyle does not stop at mealtime! Compassion is making its way into mainstream fashion, much to the dismay of the leather and fur fashion giants. I've recently discovered olsenHaus a green and eco-conscious fashion house that brings trendsetting style and a socially responsible philosophy together.
Hello Animal Prints, Goodbye Animal Skins! Now you too can say no to cruelty in style!
View their Lookbooks and seasonal collections here.
I look forward to wrapping my little vegan feet in olsenHaus boots this fall! I'll be making a statement and strutting my eco-loving style everywhere I go.

Eco-Conscious Fashion: What about Leather?




Truth be told, since becoming Vegan, I have not been able to find a great pair of shoes or boots that are hot, stylish, cruelty-free and under $500.00.

Bags...Same Dilemma!
So this raises the question: if you're Vegan and against animal cruelty is recycled leather an option for you?
Ashley Watson is a designer who had an innovative idea: to create stylish handbags and wallets out of gently worn leather coats from charity thrift stores. I'm still undecided as to whether I would wear leather at all but I admire Ashley for her green ingenuity.


Charmoné is a green shoe company specializing in high-style eco-fashionable footwear which uses no animal products at all.

I'm still on a quest to see more quality cruelty-free fashion that doesn't break the bank. Any suggestions!? Email me!
