A few days ago, I hinted at a big announcement. Well here it is.. In the spirit of 365 Vegan Smoothies, I am happy to announce my Dole Bananas & Dole Salads "Show Me Your Smoothietude" Contest & Giveaway! $2000 in prizes to be awarded.
Prizes: (3) $449 Vitamix's will be given away, (2) $150 Smoothie Lover Kits, (6) 365 Vegan Smoothies books & an HHL tee! (whew!)
All you have to do is -> Show me your smoothietude! ..... So what is smoothietude? To me it is.. Love, excitement and enthusiasm for smoothies. And how smoothies make their way into your daily routine to mingle with your mood, personality and culinary cravings.
You may remember my Dole-sponsored "Show Me Your Salad-tude Contest" .. well this is like that, only with smoothies. And Vitamixes. :) Entry details + see my example entries for the contest..

NYC Trip! The Seed, Choosing Raw, Pure Food & Wine, Rainy Days...

My whirlwind trip to NYC is just about to come to a close. (I'm typing this from my hotel room, and my plane leaves in about ... 8 hours.) Three nights alone in a hotel room could seem a bit daunting, but not when you are in NYC surrounded by amazing people, food, events and this city I love so much.
This morning I was thrilled to speak at The Seed event in SoHo with my BFF Gena of Choosing Raw. We had so much fun and thank you to everyone who came out to see us on this VERY rainy Sunday. Ahead I have plenty of photos to share with you from my trip!..
HHL Tees! On Sale.. now!

I am super excited to launch my Healthy Happy Tee Store! I have seriously been living in these tees since they arrived on my doorstep a few days ago.
These tees are both super soft and perfect for those days when you just want to throw on a pair of jeans or leggings and a soft, fun, colorful tee. No-fuss hair and not a stitch of makeup on! Those are the best days, right? And this is your new fave tee for that happy casual day!
Two colors to start things off, heather grey American Apparel track tee and a soft white 50/50 tee. Check out some of my tee pics ... yes I played "model" for a day for my tee photoshoot...
Easy Triple Peanut Butter Swirl Cheesecake. (Vegan)

So tomorrow (eeks, tomorrow?!) I fly to NYC for a fun-filled weekend. I am presenting at The Seed event in Soho at 10:45 am on Sunday morning. My trusty presentation companion -> miss Gena Hamshaw of Choosing Raw of course. The topic -> smoothies!
So I'm kinda in crazy-busy mode this afternoon as I pack, run errands, confirm travel plans and pamper my kitty as much as possible because she gets so sad when I leave her. And today, just before I fly out the door I am sharing something I know you all will love. My Triple Peanut Butter Swirl Vegan Cheesecake...
