Things On Toast / On The Blog / Blog Changes / Natural Living / Gift Links / Lots Of Things

 

Also, you may or may not noticed, but I made a few itty bitty tiny tweaks to this space. I changed my vegan section to a living section. The vegan section can now be found within the living one. There will still be all things vegan, what marlowe eats, and one of my favorites (that needs some updating): vegan beauty and body care. 

Within the living section, I’ve added a travel section, which not only has our vacations with restaurant tips and kid friendly things, but also a local guide-type-thing for south florida. You can find a restaurant section along with a bar/drink/adult section. I’ll be adding a kid friendly activity section soon. Speaking of kids and fun, I also added a party section, because I’ve been liking planning those things more and more lately 🙂

AND!  I created a natural living section too! Adding more natural living posts was my main reason for wanting to re-group and change the sections 🙂 The more I live life, do my daily routines, and discuss them with others, the more I realize how easy it can be to live a more natural life…. with almost no effort. So I want to push myself to share more of that here on the blog. I don’t expect everyone to start making their own deodorant or brewing their own kombucha, but I’m sure we could all find a bit of natural-living info to be helpful…. not to mention, it’s a pretty big part of our life over here 🙂 I have a few posts brewing, from essential oils, to cleanses, kombucha, recipes, and whatever else. Some of the posts will based on my and my family’s daily routines, some will be DIYS I attempt for the first time, and some will be from my friend Shervin, who is almost always my go to when I have questions of my own. If you’ve never heard of elderberry syrup, it’s a miracle worker (and pretty pricey) so the first Shervin-contributed post will go up early next week on how to make your very own (and save you tons of money)! Shervin, you rock.
