Happy Thanksgiving!

Justificar

We don't celebrate Thanksgiving in Brazil, but today I wanna say what I'm thanks for:
*for going vegan..it really changed me.
*for veganmofo.
*for the vegans and vegetarians and omnis that won't eat a turkey or meat today.
*for all the squashs!
*for getting in the master (I just found out yesterday that I was accepted) in sustainable architecture.
*for my lovely boyfriend that always cooks vegan food for me..even when he is craving for some meat.
*for my cute bunny Mafalda..the joy of my days.
*for my bestfriend and roomate Malu..she's a sister-friend.
*for my lovely parents.

Today, I would love to make one of those to celebrate the day...


but I gotta study a lot..so I'll eat something simpler.



Go Vegan!

Masala chai is a beverage from India made with cardamom, cinammon, ginger,

Vegans don't wear leather shoes!


Vegans don't wear leather shoes
Vegans don't wear leather shoes
Vegans don't wear leather shoes

!!!

This is all I've thinked (when I'm not thinking in a way to finish my final project for University) during the last days..I won't give my leather shoes away..because I'm not rich, so I can't buy a lot of new shoes..I already had some vegan boots and I love my havaianas (the best flip flops ever!)...

HAVAIANAS!!



But I wanna some nice shoes for my graduation party..I'm in love with this shoe, I want all collours!



But I can't find in anywhere...maybe because even the japa girls are wearing them to get married (they're perfect for that!)..

Justificar




If you see them, let me know!

Just look who made the campaign! Pamela Anderson and Vivienne Westwood!

VEGANSTAR - Stella McCartney for Gapkids

I love Stella's Clothes and her passion for animals and fashion..I wish I could afford her beautifull clothes..maybe someday..
In the mean time..have you seen her amazing new collection for GapKids?


I can't resist to a bunny!

Japa-girl-ballerina

CUTE CUTE CUTE!

I know that you might think about the animals...they don't look so happy..but that's the only kind of fur I wanna see in the fashion world!

SPINACH


I haven't been blogging because I'm trying to graduate at University this semester..so I'm super busy! Yesterday, after a stressing test, my boyfriend made some amazing vegan lunch for me! He is an omni, and he made this just because he is the sweetest!

The lunch was Spinach-mushroom Pasta..and was great! Sad that I didn't got any pics..cause the food was delicious and pretty! He used fusilli grano duro pasta and served it with some red wine..
The sauce was made like this: fried 1 big onion and 4 garlics in a lot of olive oil. Put some white wine, a lot of mushrooms, salt and pepper. Later add the spinach and let it cooked..amazing, healthy and simple!

Popeye was a smart man!

Happy World Vegan Day!

Thank you all for sharing during the last month so many great recipes!
And a big thanks to God and to the World!
Now, for me, vegan means a balance between my health, my love for the animals and for the environment.

I'm not 100% vegan yet..I would say I'm 92%, but I'll get there, thanks to all the amazing blog s that I had a chance to read during the last months.
