Yeah, that’s right, just lounging in my pj’s with my family and my cat. Glorious days are coming! Christmas is a great opportunity to give people you love thingsContinue reading “Christmas Gift Guide 2016!”

Materia vegan body care products, a review \\ Les soins Materia, des produits pour le corps véganes, je teste!
(Version en français plus bas!) My skin is not my friend. As a teenager, I had horrible acne, and my skin is still prone to breakouts, to being oily and just a pain. So over the years, I have tested about all the products that are out there for getting rid of pimples, drying outContinue reading “Materia vegan body care products, a review \\ Les soins Materia, des produits pour le corps véganes, je teste!”
Vegan Fest Montreal 2016 + blog announcement // Festival végane de Montréal et nouvel horaire de blog
(Version française plus bas!) I’m super excited to let you know that Montreal’s vegan festival is coming back this week-end at the Marché Bonsecours in the Old Port.

IContinue reading “Vegan Fest Montreal 2016 + blog announcement // Festival végane de Montréal et nouvel horaire de blog”
Terra Nova Burgers, a rave review
A few weeks ago, I stumbled upon Terra Nova burgers at my then local natural food store. The packaging of these is just so gorgeous, you just have to stop and look at it. I feel like this is sometimes lacking in the vegan world: great packaging. Everything is green and brown for some reason.Continue reading “Terra Nova Burgers, a rave review”

Last week, I had the chance to participate to ‘L’école d’été d’agriculture urbaine‘ that is organized every year by the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM), the most rebellious of Montreal’s universities.

Because Outer Happiness is pretty great!
A few days ago, I contacted Outer Happiness, an Montreal-based Etsy store specialized in vegan body products like bath salts, body scrubs, masks and even candles. The products looked really cute, and the scent combinations sounded amazing! Marina, the shop owner, was kind enough to give me a few samples to try out: how exciting! IContinue reading “Because Outer Happiness is pretty great!”
L’Gros Luxe 100% Végé, a new staple?
This week-end is supposed to be one of the worst rainy week-end of the summer. What did we do to make it better? Easy: Brunch! This week, my friend Thao from La Végé d’à Côté wrote an amazing review on a new vegetarian and vegan spot in Montreal: L’Gros Luxe 100% Végé. It looked likeContinue reading “L’Gros Luxe 100% Végé, a new staple?”
Iceplant and Salicornia, two market finds
This week-end we went to the Laurier Farmers’ Market, as usual. We found some pretty unusual greens: iceplant and salicornia! Both were really fresh and super tasty. Salicornia is an old favourite. It grows along the shore of the ocean or rivers so it takes on a really salty taste. It is super crunchy, andContinue reading “Iceplant and Salicornia, two market finds”
Floramama and beautiful organic flowers
In my ideal world, my house would be filled with flowers all year long, in every room, multiple bouquets per room, in all colors, all the time and for no particular reason but to enjoy them. Flowers are so wonderful in their variety and simple elegance. I feel that adding flowers to any room suddenlyContinue reading “Floramama and beautiful organic flowers”
An afternoon in Montreal: Les Jardins d’Ambroisie and strawberries in the park
Summer is definitively in Montreal! The sun was out this morning, the breeze was refreshing, and it was just the perfect day for a picnic. So I put my ginormous pile of need-to-be-corrected exams, and went for a stroll with my boyfriend. We were really excited because today the Marché Fermier was starting again! NearContinue reading “An afternoon in Montreal: Les Jardins d’Ambroisie and strawberries in the park”
