During a road trip to ski in Tahoe I was put in charge of finding a restaurant on the way (big surprise). By the time we were ready to eat it was past 10pm, but thanks to the Yelp app I found the perfect place in Davis: Burgers and Brew.

Spork-Fed Vegan Cookbook Launch at VegNews in San Francisco (video)
&media=https%3A%2F%2Fecovegangal.com%2Fhttp:%2F%2F3.bp.blogspot.com%2F-P79t2reqBSA%2FTqMNthRheaI%2FAAAAAAAAFGE%2FaA-w0_n9Yro%2Fs400%2FIMG_8775.JPG){kind=link}
Last night I attended the Spork-Fed vegan cookbook launch at VegNews in San Francisco and had a blast. I know the Spork Foods sisters (Jenny Engel and Heather Goldberg) from Los Angeles and it was great to see them, especially after everyone has been raving about their new book. I can see why - the book embodies their sweet, knowledgable spirits, it's fun to look through, the photos are gorgeous and it's full of important information about cooking vegan.

118 Degrees - Raw, Organic Restaurant. Plus Interview w/ Jenny Ross (video)
&media=https%3A%2F%2Fecovegangal.com%2Fhttp:%2F%2F1.bp.blogspot.com%2F-3cFQK8xVV0o%2FTj2cgEUyvhI%2FAAAAAAAAEq8%2FOHRMqKQbvh0%2Fs400%2FIMG_9398.JPG){kind=link}
In 2005, brand new in LA, I applied to a job ad on Craigslist for a vegan cafe called Taste of the Goddess in West Hollywood, and I was thrilled when I got an interview. But this wasn't any vegan establishment - they made raw food, which was pretty foreign to me. I'm not sure if I ever had raw food before this time - it wasn't really a big deal back in Boston. Well, I got the job and worked there part-time for about 6 months until I got too busy to keep it up - I learned so much about raw food and health from the owners Jenny & Nwenna, I even did a month long cleanse (Ejuva). Sadly, Taste of the Goddess didn't remain open much longer, but the ladies behind it went on to do bigger and better things.

50 Minutes To A Stronger, Healthier, Sexier Body at the studio(MDR)
&media=https%3A%2F%2Fecovegangal.com%2Fhttp:%2F%2F1.bp.blogspot.com%2F-4oPN9Ywi0Z0%2FTdAzYa-VJvI%2FAAAAAAAAEgU%2FQ0jwu8aLc_w%2Fs400%2F229585_10150187328633707_262307778706_6884370_8028070_n.jpg){kind=link}
It's almost that time of year we all dread - bathing suit season. Though we know it's coming, it always seems to creep up on us and suddenly we've run out of time to whip ourselves into shape. You can try intense liquid-based cleanses, diet pills, and 20 minutes on the elliptical each day - or you can find an exercise class that will kick your butt. If you live in Los Angeles and can make it over to Marina Del Ray, I've got just the place for you.

Calculating Long Distance: The Green Way to Travel between Los Angeles and San Francisco
My boyfriend lives in San Francisco, and he's totally worth doing the long distance. But every time we travel to see each other some things cross my mind:
- It takes a lot of time out of my day if I'm traveling (3 - 9 hours each way)
- It is expensive ($100-$150 round trip)
- Traveling isn't very eco-friendly
For now, this is what we have to do to be with each other. So I decided to figure out the way to travel with the smallest carbon footprint.
