Do Life Right

I’m a strong believer in following interests and passions. I’ve become immersed in numerous things over the years, including photography. For a time I had my own photo studio. I enjoyed it a lot and still take many photographs (mostly of my daughters and scenery). Since my parents are visiting and my youngest daughter is […]

Due to the enormous popularity of the following articles (thank you!), I’ve decided to do a follow up on where to find vegan belts, PDA cases and wallets.

“Leather - Can you live without it? Yes!“
“Vegan Gloves for All Occasions“
“Unexpected Animal Items - Making a Vegan Home“

In my family, we’ve actually completely done away with wallets […]

Due to popular request, here is my page on finding vegan foods in the greater Tucson, Arizona area. Be sure to click on all the links! If there is a particular food that you cannot find, feel free to ask me through my Request Form. If you are looking for a great […]

I’ve had a few people tell me that making their house vegan was incredibly easy and they had no idea why it took my family so long, or why we found it so difficult. Read my “Leather - Can you live without it? Yes!” blog post for more information on my family’s […]

I’ve had this dilemma twice now: Wear out my hands, or buy leather gloves. Silly me! I didn’t think I had options as a vegan, but I’ve been able to find vegan cactus lifting (gardening) gloves and vegan bicycling gloves. With my recent blog,  “Leather - Can you live without it?  Yes!” I’ve had […]

A recent question I received: “I’ve recently become vegan, but I can’t replace all of my leather items right now. What should I do? Some things just aren’t made of anything else except leather, are they? It feels wrong to wear or own these items, but I don’t know what to do.”
I’ve also heard the […]

Go to a gathering of healthy vegans, and the topic of vegan bashing and food sabotage often arise. In a healthy and happy room of people, it’s a shock to hear utterance of these not so healthy and happy topics, yet there is often someone there desperate for advice on how to deal with […]

Hands down, our favorite shoes are Crocs.
I used to be a big fan of Birkenstocks with the Birko-Flor, but they are no longer made and are difficult to find. No matter, since as comfort goes, Crocs are superior in every way. Wearing them feels like you are walking on marshmallows. These are the only shoes […]

My youngest is a ballerina. At almost 7 years old, she has been into dancing for years. With her interest in ballet steadily growing last year, we knew it was time to find a real (and good) dance studio. As difficult as that was, finding vegan ballet slippers was even more difficult! We tried all […]

My oldest daughter turns eleven on Sunday. If we lived in England, she’d be getting her letter to Hogwart’s about now. But, alas, we live in Arizona, USA. Then, of course, there is the fact that we have chosen homeschooling, Radical Unschooling to be precise, as the form of education in our household… Still, the […]
