Yeah for the Balanced Blonde! I love that you went to all lengths to secure that Instagram handle. I wish I had thought of that to get my blog name on Insta. Maybe it’s not too late!

Thank you so much, Alison! I so appreciate your kind words. I will definitely check out our blog party when I get a chance– sounds like a real blast!! You are awesome my dear. Xoxo

How sad that you think that! I have been doing sponsored posts all along– as I am a full-time blogger, I’ve gotta make a living. And I love writing them! It’s part of the business and it’s an incredible opportunity to try new things. I have never written a post that hasn’t come straight from the heart, along with details of what’s going on in my life etc. And all of these posts were lined up BEFORE I made my lifestyle change. I welcome your decision to stop reading the blog– we have quite different outlooks. I wish you the best.

Matcha is the best! I’m always turned off by the coffee shop matcha smoothies because they’re full of not so nice stuff, which seems weird, because matcha is so health-promoting! That matcha whisk is just adorable too. I think I need one for this dreamy greenilicious smoothie you have going on here.

That being said, in the past few weeks, the quality of your blog posts have gone way, way down. No one wants to read paid for, sponsored brand marketing posts. Scrolling through your blog, you have a ton of (obviously) paid for posts, Panthea, Zico, Quest, etc. I think it’s great that companies pay you to say good things about them, and everyone has to make money somehow, but please at least TRY to make it seem like it is occasional and casual.

My theory is that you are more lost now than you were when you were suffering from your disorder. Veganism and this blog defined you, and now you don’t know who you are anymore or what you should do. Don’t get me wrong, that’s fine, but don’t let your indecision and self-discovery ruin your blog. I hope you figure out what you want and need from your diet and life. I won’t be reading your blog anymore.
