Update: I'm in Los Angeles!

Holy crap, guys!

Jeremy and I drove down to Los Angeles last week from our home in BC. We left Tuesday afternoon, and arrived in L.A. Thursday afternoon. Something like a 30 hour drive all the way through, not counting a couple stops to see family.

We came down for the Natural Products Expo West this last weekend, which is a trade show for all things organic, natural, healthy, and sustainable. Not just food, but things like body care, clothing, home decor, etc. We've got a ton of new writing material from it, as well as new products I'll talk about, and made some really good connections with a few food companies.

Going to the Expo has inspired me to start another blog, The Cruelty-Free Hippie, where I'll be talking about vegan non-food items like clothing, beauty lines, etc. Also, Jeremy and I are co-creating a blog all about exotic chocolates and teas. We're totally revved up, and can't wait to share all of these things with you! :)

We're going to be staying in L.A. until Saturday morning, at which point we'll be taking a leisurely drive back up the coast to Portland to see family, then haul our Gypsy Van back up to Canada.

Things are going really well with this trip, for sure. I'm still amazed at just how many things we pack into one schedule each day. It's why I haven't posted in a few days - it's been pure madness! It's been refreshing to be down here again, but I'm going to be very happy to be back at our home in Powell River. :)


Blessings and love,
