Hola Familia! Hi Family,

I can't believe it but Artistic Vegan was featured in the Top 100 Vegan Blogs! I guess my past self earned it!! It is with great honor to have you all here in this community and space. 

Artistic Vegan has been on the web since 2012. 13 years! That's wild. With a cookbook and hundreds of cooking shows you can find tons of recipes on this site. When my husband passed this whole site and the cooking show came to a screeching stop, and I've not quite found my flavor for it again. I apologize for not showing up very much in the past 4.5 years. With very sporadic shares, I appreciate all of you who are still here.

Happy New Year Divine Souls!! 

Happy New Year based on the current calendar, it actually begins in March, so if you're feeling a little off and still in winter, don't sweat it. Relax into where you are now. Surrender. 

That's been my message for this new year. Surrender. I came down with a little cold and have been nursing myself back to health and with as much desire as I have to hit the ground running, it's been very slow paced with tea's, healing soups and ease and grace. Which makes me truly value my health. We take for granted how much energy we have, how much strength we have, how much we can do on a day to day and we forget what a true blessing that is to have our health. It really makes me want to make this year a priority for self care, healthy habits and being grateful for what we do have.

Hi Fam!!

I recently had the opportunity to be on The Melted Broadcast with Tony Marz and Mary Bly! We had a great time getting together and talking about all the things from yoga, time in India, Structural Integration, to our vegan journeys to my favorite topic, my late husband, Gerald Clark!! The podcast is really worth a listen if you're a fan of Gerald Clark or myself. We had a lot of fun, laughter and good insights. I hope you love the show. We recorded it on Gerald's birthday and it was released on New Year's!

I have a lovely girlfriend named Alejandra and we call her Ale or Ali - and she shared a recipe with me she's been making for her hair. I noticed new hair growth, her eyelashes looked longer and her hair was growing back. I asked her what she's been doing. She said she's been making a tea for her hair from rosemary and avocado seeds. I was so intrigued I made some and have been trying it. I can't tell yet as I've only used it a few times, but minimally it smells amazing and the internet lists a lot of benefits. I bet if you add some rosemary essential oil inside it would only increase the benefits.
