Everyone knows that water is good for you. The thing is, it tastes like nothing and let's be honest, who really wants to drink nothing? It's easy for some people to gulp down a big glass on nothing but for the rest of us, it can be a bit challenging. I've shared a few tips and tricks down below to help you increase your nothing intake by half!! First, let's get into a few reasons drinking why water is beneficial. *Water information courtesy of Web MD*

LA is also better for business. Because the vegan community is so large here, I feel like its the perfect place to start my bakery. Well, my bakery is already started actually. Place an order why don't you! Since I've been here my demand has definitely gone up. In 2016 I literally only made one $5 sale and that was to my cousin. This year, I've made $210 bucks and the years not even over yet. Grant it, I have gotten way better at marketing myself this year compared to the previous, that's still a big frigging profit jump. Plus, being an entrepreneur here feels a bit easier. Plus the vegan scene is bigger. I can't stress that enough. 

Yummy, simple and healthy!!

Crate & Barrel is a home good store. They are in the moderate to high spending range and their collections are often unique and of great quality. Needless to say, Joe and I love this store! We've been gifted crate & barrel things numerous times from my mother. We decided to go to the Crate and Barrel at the Grove. The Grove is an out door mall that houses a bunch of cool shops and restaurants. There's a Cheesecake Factory, AMC theatre, and a Giant three Nike store that Joe obsesses over.

This place was sample heaven!! We tried almost everything. Almost all of their items were vegan. The owner was very knowledgeable of all of the products and had an awesome deal going. You can get 1 for $5 of get 3 for $12. We decided to go with 3 for $12 and got wheat pitas, spinach artichoke hummus, and black bean chipotle hummus. Everything we got was amazing. He also gave up samples on yummy homemade corn flax crackers. We're gonna get some of those next time. He was extremely nice to us too!
