Naked Eye Beauty

I recently received a lovely package of goodies from Naked Eye Beauty - an all natural and vegan cosmetic and skin care shop based in Los Angeles, California. It's important to me that I use products that aren't tested on animals and don't have animal ingredients in them. I also prefer that what I'm putting in or on my body not have a never ending list of ingredients that I can't even pronounce! So it was such a treat to get to try out these great products from Naked Eye Beauty!
I received the Argan beauty oil, Patchouli and Rose exotic body butter, Rose tinted lip balm, and Amber Argan balm. All of these products are wonderful! My favorites (I'm obsessssed) are the Argan oil and Amber Argan Balm. I love that they have multiple uses. The Argan oil makes my hair so soft and shiny, and the Amber Argan balm smells amazing. Even my boyfriend likes using the Argan oil in his hair. I now have my eye on the Peachy Glow Blush. I definitely recommend checking out this shop if you like simple, natural, clean ingredients. Thanks, Naked Eye Beauty!

Organic mixed greens, cukes, tomatoes, avocado, fresh beets, and a whole grain mustard encrusted tempeh triangle. Dinner has been nothing but huge delicious salads all week and I am loving it.

Homemade Sweet Treats

 I love marshmallows but being vegetarian, I rarely get to enjoy them since they almost always have gelatin in them. So last week when John found a bag of vegan marshmallows at Mother Earth's and convinced me to buy them for like $7.00, I knew I had to make it worth it!

Homemade vegan rice crispy treats:

Bag of vegan Marshmallows (the brand I used is called "Dandies")
2 Tbsp Earth balance or other vegan butter substitute
5 Cups crispy rice - I used a brown rice crispy cereal

1. Heat vegan butter in sauce pan on med heat until melted.
2. Add in yr mallows and stir stir stir until they are losing shape and almost melted.
3. turn off heat and add the crispy rice. Stir until combined.
4. Pour into a greased casserole dish.
5. Let cool and then refrigerate until they harden!

This was my first time making these so I kept it pretty simple, but next time I'm definitely adding to the recipe. I'm thinking shredded coconut and chocolate chips!
