success stories: kind life inspired beauty
Kind Lifer Kaylin recently shared how living a kinder life is a more beautiful life:
I read The Kind Diet a couple of years ago, close to its release. I am proud to say that your book and blog encouraged me to first flirt with veganism, then to make the full commitment a few months later. I really appreciated reading about the successes of other vegans, from celebrities such as Olivia Wilde to regular people who had become incredibly healthy. When I made the switch, I was shocked at how my extra ten pounds just melted away.Suddenly, I felt lighter and healthier than I had ever felt before.
Around the time I became a vegan, I began working as an eco-friendly makeup artist. However, "eco-friendly" was not enough; I knew I had to align my business with my new vegan lifestyle. For the past year, I began a wide search for the best vegan cosmetics, beauty products, and personal care items. Your work as an activist has inspired me to take up the cause as well, blogging, and now writing a book on vegan beauty and personal care products.
I wanted to thank you for leading the way and inspiring me to make the switch to veganism. It has had an amazingly positive impact on my life over the past two years and I couldn't have done it without your help.
Yay Kaylin!

Thank you @Sarah. It's funny, all my eating blunders are unintentional. For instance, I had been buying and drinking calcium fortified Orange Juice just to help me with keeping my calcium levels stable not realizing it was also fortifitied with Vitamin D3. Imagine the horror on my face when I decided to read the label one day for some unknown reason as I had been drinking this for ever and had been vegan close to two years at this point. Of course I never bought it again, and now I know I have to be careful whenever I have it in a restaurant setting because you never really know what products they are using unless you ask. Then there is the occasional french fry break down, where I have some that may have been prepared in an unvegan friendly manner. I'm definitely a work in progress that's for sure.

@Teri, hang in there it can be very difficult at times but the only piece of advice I can offer is not not beat yourself up too badly if you do fall off the wagon. I used to feel so much guilt if I slipped now I dont because there is not much to be gained from it. I still struggle but I deal with my choices better now and the more I feel better about my choices the better I feel, the easier it is to make kind choices. It's a nice circle!

This is encouraging as I am still struggling to sustain and improve my health through my vegan diet.

Loved reading this....the photo makes me think she is someone who's so at peace and would be easily approachable to converse with. You don't see that very often. She's also just a very pretty person... Reminds me of the actress on WHITNEY...

Definition of cabbage:
It is a herbaceous, biennial, dicotyledonous flowering plant distinguished by a short stem upon which is crowded a mass of leaves, usually green but in some varieties red or purplish, which while immature form a characteristic compact, globular cluster (cabbagehead).
Need anymore be said??
