the best e-book of all time

Loni Jane is the vegan who got a lot of attention for eating a strict raw vegan diet while pregnant and then bouncing back into great shape basically right after giving birth.

Now, she has a HUGE social media following and is a major inspiration of what eating healthy can do.

 I decided to buy her e-book called "Feel the Lean" last night and OH MY GOSH - it is filled with the most GORGEOUS photos and the most inspiring plant-based recipes ever! It is also filled with inspiring quotes from some of my favorite life teachers and some tid-bits about how she went from living a pretty "typical" unhealthy lifestyle to such a radiantly healthy one!

I definitely recommend checking it out. You can purchase it HERE.
 I wish I had gotten this book when I was first considering buying it months ago!

I thought that before I continue to share my life here on this new blog, it would be a good time to share what is on my heart and my fears when it comes to having a travel/lifestyle type of blog. 

So, I have a deep rooted fear of coming off as bragging about my travels. I worried about it so much that it kept me from keeping up my last blog and taking so long to start this one. 

Favorite memories from summer 2015

// Meeting my third neice, the beautiful and perfect Lux Verity Krenzke

//Discovering this place to jump into the water in Dubrovnik, Croatia during our cruise. However, I didn't have a suit with me and we only had 2 hours until we had to be back to the ship so we set out to find a suit and spent the next hour and a half in pure bliss. We had been hoping to do cliff jumping on our cruise and even though I wouldn't consider the rocks "cliffs" it was still a blast and we felt very lucky to have stumbled upon such a cool spot!

//Seeing the top of the Eiffel Tower for my first time ever. In the rain. With one of my favorite people ever. 

//The moment we drove into Cadaques, Spain during our road trip. This special place is so unknown about yet one of the most gorgeous places I have ever been! It is where mostly French and Spanish vacation and seems to be kept "hush-hush" and on the down low almost purposely to keep all of us real tourists out! We found out about it from a friend of Dave's brother who grew up there. Otherwise, we would have never learned of it!

//That second that Dave and I found the restaurant up on the hill out of nowhere in Split, Croatia with the view that literally took my breath. It was in that second that I knew I had found one of my new favorite countries and it was so moving that it wasn't even a country I was excited about visiting or knew ANYTHING about! 

//Talking forever to my man on a hidden stoop in Venice over the river after a full day of exploring that amazing city! Similar to Croatia, I wasn't really excited about Venice but I love not having any expectations of a place and then being blown away by the way a city makes me feel. Almost like chemistry with another human, you never know when a place is going to just click with you and steal your heart. It happens unexpectedly and without warning. Our time in Venice was incredible. I highly reccomend all couples to go to Venice and wander off the regular tourist areas until you were wonderfully and completely lost.
