I must admit that that I’ve slipped a little from my green smoothie routine during this coldish and rainy California winter. It’s cold in our apartment (I don’t think they’ve heard of insulation in this state), cold in our office (working with 20 something stressed-out males) and cold outside. In the mornings when I wake […]
TOP 10 Swaps for Going Zero-Waste
I’m still on my zero-waste journey despite my radio silence on the blog (more active on Instagram) and wanted to share with you my top 10 swaps for going zero-waste of at least to reduce waste. These are the things I’m thriving to do every single day so that they will become my second nature. […]
Getting Started with Zero-Waste Lifestyle
I believe that growing up in Finland I was raised to be pretty eco-conscious from young age by separating my recyclables and bio-waste, using public transportation and not buying more than I needed. I’d never take my coffee/tea to go, but rather sit down and drink it at the cafe from a real cup. After […]
5 Ways to Live Yoga off the Mat

I sometimes hear people saying (like all the time) that if they’d go plant-based “there’d be nothing left to eat”.

For example, there’s over 25 000 different types of tomatoes! […]

It has been hard to find inspiration to write, but as the spring gets closer to summer I find myself in amazing events, meeting interesting people full of good vibes and the inspiration slowly creeps in. Like today, as I sit at outside one of my favorite cafes in Alameda drinking matcha and enjoying the […]
Vegan Memorial Day BBQ with Gardein
Memorial Day is almost here and that means hot, sunny, long weekend enjoying the outdoors and most probably barbecuing. The good news is that us plant-based fellas don’t have to miss out on any BBQ foods! I had the opportunity to sample a wide variety of Gardein’s BBQ ready meatless favorites (now 28 different options) […]
What I Love About Alameda
For two and some years we’ve been living in a little (population 80 000) island of Alameda off the San Francisco Bay. We’re just a skip and a hop away from the city of San Francisco, yet when you enter the island, either through the tunnel, bridge or the ferry, you come to a place […]
