✨ Curious about what “non-toxic” and “sustainable” actually mean? Episode 09 of my podcast breaks it down!

Vegan + Non-Vegan in One Kitchen 🍲✨
It’s easier than it sounds. Here’s what we keep separate:

• Cutting boards (porous)
• Cooking utensils and prep knives (handwashed)
• Pans (optional, but I prefer it)
Everything else is thoroughly cleaned and shared.

I start with a vegan base for sides, drinks, and mains, then add meat or dairy at the end if needed. It keeps everyone fed and happy without making two dinners. 💚

I love a good manicure, but nail health matters just as much as how they look 💅 I’ve been trying a new approach: my tips are done with non-toxic gel, cured with an LED lamp, and I keep my nail nourished with a serum or oil daily. It gives me a splash of color and helps my nails grow strong and healthy✨
