Best Moments From My 2016 Vlogs is Live!

Hey Fabbies! If you follow me on any of my social media, then you already know that I posted a video a few days ago, that is a compilation of my favorite moments from my YouTube vlog series: “The Fab and Ravenous Life”. It’s been several months since I last vlogged, as I have been busy with life and running an online boutique.  But! I am definitely bringing the vlogs back very soon, with the first one showing my time at the Annual Vegan Food Fest in Los Angeles, California! My videographer, Bryan “Flashy” Armstrong was there to capture it all, so I can’t wait to share that with you! Ya’ll! So. Much. Food!!! I will also do a blog post soon on that entire weekend, including what I wore, what we ate, and more! Continue reading “Best Moments From My 2016 Vlogs is Live!”

It’s My 3-Year Blog Anniversary!

Hey Fabbies! Can you believe it has been three years since I started my “Fab and Ravenous” Blog?! Like seriously!! When I started this blog I was living in Charlotte, North Carolina, and Zé was 2 years old and Vito was 1!

This blog has been such a fun and creative outlet for me, and I have really enjoyed sharing my life, outfits, hairstyles, recipes, and everything in between with you guys. I have grown so much in the last three years, and can honestly say that I am proud of the woman I have become. Life is such a journey, and with mistakes I’ve made, triumphs, struggles, and successes that I have achieved, I know that I still have work to do, but I am loving every moment of my Fab and Ravenous Life!

Look Of The Week!

Last weekend, my family and I went out to dinner to our favorite Ethiopian restaurant, GoJo, and this of course gave me the perfect excuse to wear something fun. (Rule #1, always look for a reason to wear something fun. ;p) Anyway, I opted to wear a halter neck jumpsuit that I’ve had for over a year now, and have never worn. What’s great about this jumpsuit is that the material is soft and stretchy, and it has a super long inseam of about 36 inches, which meant even with my heels on, the pant legs still came to the floor. One of my favorite places to shop that caters to tall gals like myself is www.alloy.com. That is where the fabulous jumpsuit that I chose to wear for dinner came from! I love Alloy because they have extra long inseams on their jeans, dresses, and jumpsuits, and all at an afffordable price! Continue reading “Look Of The Week!”

Detox Mondays! Are You In?

Happy Sunday Fabbies! Of course you guys know that I love fashion and all things girly, but recently I have been deep-diving in research on nutrition and health. As a vegan, I am no doubt the healthiest I have ever been, but I still have days where I feel sluggish or more tired than normal, get the occasional pimple or breakout on my face, and I KNOW it is due to what I have been eating. Yes I have a plant-based diet, but let’s face it: Some days, even for ME, I don’t get enough fruits and vegetables. What am I eating instead you ask? Let’s see: chips, vegan hot dogs, vegan cheese dip, pasta, and whatever else “quick” little snack that I can get my hands on.  Of course, these are not nearly as bad as eating “real meat and cheese”, but it is equally important to CONSISTENTLY eat a healthy serving and fruits and vegetables EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.

Smoothie Recipes!

Have you ever wanted to make a smoothie but didn’t know what to put in it? Well I’ve got you covered! My friend Ashley found a 10-day green smoothie detox program online, and they provided 10 different smoothie recipes. The reason that smoothies have become so popular is because it is the easiest and most convenient way for you to ensure you get your fruits and vegetables daily. Just pop everything into a blender, then enjoy! Read on to see the recipes. Continue reading “Smoothie Recipes!”

Cat-Ear Headbands: The Hair Accessory You Never Knew You Needed

Greetings Fabbies! If you follow me on any of my social media, then you know by now that I am a huge fan of hair accessories: hats, scarves, beanies, turbans, headbands, jeweled headbands, and more recently (within the last year), cat-ear headbands. If there’s something that I can accessorize my hair with, then I want it! Hair accessories are not only added decoration to your already fabulous self, but they also serve the purpose of helping with “bad” hair days, or help to spruce up an otherwise simple hairdo.

My Exclusive Interview with Eva Cannon: She Changed Her Diet, then She Changed Her Life!

For this blog post, I decided to do something a bit different than I have ever done before. I decided to wear the hat of radio slash television host, if you will, and interview a friend of mine, Eva Cannon, 23, who switched her diet to a predominantly plant-based lifestyle over a year ago. Cannon is a professional chef that I met while I was living in Los Angeles. At the time, Eva was one of the chefs for the Los Angeles Clippers (and at the time, Chris was playing for them), and she also prepared vegan meals for us at our home a few times! She also used to make these “cake-in-a-jar” deliciousness that I used to be OBSESSED WITH!
