buy nothing day fair

lots of music

i have something special to share. it was about my experience at the buy nothing day fair a few of my friends organized. although there weren't a whole bunch of people there, there was still a pretty large crowd with tons of activities. all of course were free!!! the denver zine library hosted the space.. it holds over 3000+ zines. so awesome! on the agenda there was:

- diy soap making by the hazelnut soap co-op

- how to make kombucha/ culture giveaway

- sewing 101 and make your own monster

- live music all night by friends

- meditation/ aum circle led by me!

- vegan food from food not bombs and take home produce

- vegan cupcakes from plants and animals

- and much more!

excuse the sexual innuendos

plants and animal table

the experience was so rad. people coming together, sharing and creating is simply amazing. times like this i find vibrant love in my community i gain so much inspiration. life can be that simple sometimes it just takes coming together.

leading the group meditation was amazing. so much love and light in the room. i felt so alive and am so blessed to have been part of the fair and share what i know to radical people.

pomegranate seeds for the salad

to all of the people you love. i spent my thanksgiving with my best friend and his family this year. one thing about the holidays is that it brings people closer together. it's great to share stories over food about all of the experiences you've been through. or to just simply laugh with people you love.

squash soup

vegan dinner

i embraced wanting to have a traditional (vegan) thanksgiving this year, so i indulged. it incorporated some cranberry sauce, green beans, roasted root vegetables, mashed potatoes with gravy and of course pumpkin pie. his sister always makes her famous squash soup every year, and this time she veganized it! instead of cream she used coconut milk, so delicious!

the 'kids' table

what is great about our friendship is that we are family. i can do my laundry at their house, play music with his dad and talk for hours with his mom. i feel so at home every time i spend time with them.
