Vegan since December 2014 and loving this lifestyle! I make videos about veganism, spirituality, advice, life, and other topics of my interest! Peace & love.
You really suit a buzzcut. How do you feel about it and what have the reactions been, if any? I think that you really have the head shape to go even shorter and you could even pull off a razor shaved head very well. All the best to you.
Cool look after the buzz, your head shape is meant to handle any haircut. You should have gone all zero. You know that feeling of touching the scalp is very rare and just once in a lifetime.
🤩😍this is so brilliant Abby! Just when I thought you couldn’t get any wiser☺️Mason and I can relate! You’re actually the first other person I know who wants to live the nomad lifestyle! I’m so happy for you-you really have the best values that will give you the most fulfilling life. It’s pretty crazy how much of their lives some people waste putting off their dreams. The nomad life is a truly free-spirited lifestyle. Going to college was a waste for both me and my partner. I also wasted a lot of years on rent and mortgage. No more, now I’m free! I hope we can all caravan on the road sometime.
Mariel Veganna Of Carbalot Im so glad you guys can relate!! I don't know what im gonna do about college since I don't know where my life will take me and what my "calling" is (or if humans are even supposed to have one or its something society makes up?), but i do know that traveling is something i want to do right when i get out of high school and since i know that, im going for it! Following intuition is important! It totally is a very free spirited way of life! My plan as of right now is to travel out of my toyota prius that is my car currently! Its small but very doable and a huge gas/money saver as opposed to a bus/van! #hotelprius is a channel here on youtube that talked quite a bit about living out of a prius that i got a lot of inspiration from I hope to see you on the road in the future!
Free Spirited Vegan that’s brilliant!! A Prius is perfect! 😍 we are planning on a 6’x10’ cargo trailer pulled by a Volkswagen Golf which has good mileage. Our combined monthly budget is estimated at $1,200 for us both (half at least is for food). I feel that it is rare for 18 year olds, indeed anyone below mid-twenties, to know what they want to do in life. So I think seeing the country first and foremost is a very wise decision!👏
hoolagirl57ishot This is what I posted on my social medias: I've finally buzzed my hair off after wanting to do it for over a year! I want to tell everyone that you never need an explanation for doing anything that you want to do with your own body. But since a woman shaving their hair is seen as something odd and may not make sense to some, I want to tell you all why I made this decision. For the past year I have disliked having long hair because it takes so much time to wash it, brush it, etc. For convenience and ease I wanted to buzz it off. It was definitely feeding into my ego by always making sure it looked "good". I wanted to do it as a spiritual lesson and to teach myself that my physical appearance does not matter. I also wanted to challenge myself to do something I was scared of doing. To take an act of fearlessness to overcome this. I was scared of what people would say, how people would react, and how people would treat me. I wanted to gain confidence from doing it. That you can't hide behind your hair as something to make you feel beautiful. Hair doesn't make you beautiful. Your actions towards others, your compassion, and your infinite love makes you beautiful. At the end of the day, hair does not matter. It is simply something that grows again if you want it to and is an unimportant thing that should not be made a big deal out of. Women and girls shaving their heads needs to be accepted in society. It is not an act that shows someone is going crazy. It does not necessarily mean someone has cancer or another illness. It does not reflect what gender or sexuality you are. Its just simply another haircut. Peace and love to all of you beautiful beings. Don't let the fear of uncertainty stop you from anything. You will regret your inactions the most.
So awesome!!!!!! Too awesome for words! We need more "weird." In fact I think those who try so hard to conform Instead of living and being themselves are not normal! You are inspiring so many including me! 💖🍃
You're so free spirited and beautiful that I cried! This is brilliant and down to earth and absolutely an inspiration! ❤️ We desperately need more down to earth compassionate human beings.
"Veganism is a way of living which seeks to exclude, as far as is possible and practicable, all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose." -The Vegan Society definition
Vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 is an essential nutrient found in virtually no plant foods. ... Creatine. ... Carnosine. ... Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3) ... Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) ... Heme-iron. ... Taurine. All things you cant get naturally, nice supplements you got there.
Smottleberry I actually want to thank you for this educated question/comment and for not writing a troll comment :) Yes, many of the nutrients you listed are not found naturally in a vegan diet but can be supplemented with vegan supplements. B12: found naturally in nutritional yeast and in healthy soils, also can buy a vegan B12 supplement. 40% of the population is actually deficient in B12. This is because the animals that omnivores eat have been either fed in their grain or injected with vitamin b12. This is why you can't guarantee any animal flesh actually contains vitamin B12. Creatine: correct, it is not found naturally in plant foods but the body makes a small amount of creatine and vegan athletes may want to take a vegan creatine supplement. Carnosine: is a NON essential amino acid chain that yes, is found only in animal tissue. It has been no shown benefit to athletic performance by having carnosine in the diet. www.veganhealth.org/articles/carnosine Vitamin D3: found from your body getting natural sunlight and from vegan D3 supplements. Mushrooms also contain a small amount and any plant based milks found in stores have D3 added to it just like Cow milk also has it added to it because there is only a small amount found naturally. DHA: the body converts ALA into EPA and DHA naturally. ALA are found in a wide range of foods. EPA and DHA are found in small amounts in seaweed. And again, vegan supplements are available. Heme iron: there are two types of iron: heme and non-heme iron, non-heme iron is in a multitude of plant foods such as legumes, leafy greens, grains, etc. heme iron is better absorbed but iron from plants still is easily absorbed. People following a plant based diet do have lower iron stores but that does not mean we have higher rates of anemia. Some even say that low iron stores are beneficial for a few reasons. www.nomeatathlete.com/iron-for-vegetarians/ Taurine: taurine is synthesized from amino acids from complete protein plant foods (quinoa, buckwheat, soy, hemp seeds, etc.). It is made by an amino acid called cysteine. If you eat enough protein on a plant based diet then you are completely fine. You make the statements all you want about how a plant based diet is unnatural because there are a FEW nutrients that we get from artificially made vitamins, and thats okay because thats your opinion.
research suggests that even though we don’t have the same bodies as carnivores in the wild, learning to cook and eat meat successfully actually evolved humans from apes. Eating meat and gaining new nutrients apes didn’t have access to actually enlarged our brains and furthered our evolutionary development. We became omnivores, able to eat plants, meat, and everything in between. so what i'm trying to say is... vegans are just edgy kids that are really bored and want to stand out from society using things like being a vegan. cringe.
Smottleberry I don't agree that it enlarged our brains unless you have proof to show me, but I do agree we would not have evolved without surviving from eating animals. We are now at a time where we as humans do not need animals at all to survive and can make the choice to eat a plant based diet. I have no intention to be a "edgy teen" lol. Veganism isn't just a diet, but an ethical stance to try to cause the least harm you can to animals and to not exploit them. There's nothing edgy about that. Who are you btw? I know your friends who commented so who are you really?
Hey Abby, Your smoothie looks so good! Hehe, I love that you added chocolate chips on top :) Also peanut butter and jelly is my favourite! Would you like to be vegan RU-vid friends? :)
Awesome, I'm so happy to be vegan friends! By the way I just subscribed to your channel! Do you use Instagram or Snapchat? We could chat on there sometime :)
Hey, I just noticed you subscribed to me a few weeks ago so I decided to come check out your channel :) This video was really great, I wish I had found veganism as a teen! And hey, stop procrastinating and make more videos! Haha, I'm the same so I just thought I'd offer you a bit support/pressure ;)
