How fabulous is this new bowl!!! This is a great way to manage portion control. So many cereal, grain stats are way smaller than what we wold normally consider portions. This will help us to keep the portions in check. So perfect!! Check it out here.

Windsor Castle Goes Vegan For 24 Hours

Windsor Castle Goes Vegan For 24 Hours As They Celebrate Faith And The Environment

See this clip below from Vegdaily. SO cool!!!!!

You heard correct! Windsor Castle is going vegan for 24 hours in honor of a special banquet of 200 bigwigs, including UN General Secretary Ban Ki-moon, the Grand Mufti of Egypt and Archbishop Valentine Mokiwa, President of the All Africa Conference of Churches.

The event was planned by the Duke of Edinburgh and the UN Development Program as part of “the Celebration of Faiths and the Environment.”

Because the guest list includes people with various dietary restrictions, the Duke decided it would just be easier to make the whole darn thing vegan. And we can’t forget that part of the evening is about celebrating the environment. What better way than with some plant-powered cuisine!?

Sophie Douglas-Bate, managing director of Edible — one of only two caters approved by the Castle — said, “I thought, we’d be serving up a lettuce leaf. I’ve never done vegan before. But it’s been fun, a challenge for the whole team.”

We approve! To learn more about this vegantastic event, visit Telegraph.co.uk!

Baltimore City Schools Have Meatless Mondays

Love this!! I just read about this on the Livin’ Veg Blog! So fabulous! Go Baltimore!! Check it out 🙂

Baltimore City Schools Have Meatless Mondays

Here is a bit about what Baltimore is doing:

The 80,000 young people BCPS serves will begin each week with a Meatless Monday menu. And that’s not all. The school system has introduced a wide variety of projects to ensure its students eat and learn about healthy, environmentally friendly choices. BCPS has teemed up with local farmers and distributors to provide students fresh, locally raised fruits, vegetables and milk. They’ve also introduced Great Kids Farm, a 33-acre teaching farm, home to chickens, goats and a variety of fruits and vegetables. Educators on the farm teach kids and adults how to produce home-grown fresh food, even in an urban setting. BCPS is also in the process of developing gardens for each of the system’s 200 schools.

Free Week of Yoga!

NationalYogaMonth_newlogo3_400pxl

Yeah Yoga Month!!!

I just signed up for this and have been waiting for this one for a long time 🙂

This is a week free of yoga celebrating Yoga Month.
Although Yoga Month is in September I believe you can use this pass till November 30th!

You have to go somewhere as a first timer, so I signed up at a place that I have only heard great things about called Pure Yoga on 86th and 3rd.
It is a membership only studio so I figured it would be awesome to check it out. I normally go to Jivamukti Yoga School which is the most fantastic yoga studio on earth! But I am always willing to try new places.

There are other options that you can try out in NYC and all over the country. See it all here and sign up!
