After speaking with a customer online today, I realized there were many things people may not know or realize about HELPSY or more exactly, me. So here it is!
One of the great inventions of our time...podcasts! Here are a few of our favorites that feature ethical fashion and conscious lifestyle topics. AKA podcasts for people who are 'woke'.
A common complaint I hear from people is that they can’t find affordable Ethical Fashion. Admittedly the sticker shock can be pretty daunting. But if more people knew the actual price of what it costs to make clothes, paying everyone involved in the supply chain fairly, they would realize why Ethical Fashion is priced higher than fast fashion. We’ve grown up in a culture where clothing has been, for the most part, made cheaply and the people who make it have been exploited.
I found this vegan chocolate cupcake recipe on, of all places, the Betty Crocker website, only modifying a few things. The reason I loved this recipe out of all the vegan recipes out there, is because it incorporates the use of avocado. Believe it or not, avocados can essential tool in your vegan baking arsenal. Their flavor is completely neutralized in by sweeter ingredients (promise) and their consistency provides a light, moist, and nutritious base that really rivals eggs. I once brought an avocado based vegan chocolate pudding to a party and no one knew until I told them and they stared at me in disbelief (after they were licking their bowls clean).
Drum&Lace founder Sofia Hultquist and I were 'Instagram Friends' for years. Both living in NYC but never really meeting (except in passing at a party). When we finally did get to sit down and chat IRL, it was across the country in LA at Cafe de Leche, where she had been already living for a year. Seeing that I was visiting LA on my Instagram account, Sofia slid into my DM and BAM we met up, because it is the future!
A simple comfort meal I recently discovered through just using what was in my fridge was so delicious (and EASY) I just have to share it with you. First of all – fresh ramen is really a must for this recipe. The difference between fresh ramen noodles and the dried ones is like the difference between a blow job and a hand job (not that I know personally, but I’ve been told they’re pretty different and have always been “asked to stop” the latter but never the former).
Many people think going vegan means giving up all their favorite foods. Not at all! Going vegan just means looking at food in a new and totally innovative way. You would be blown away how incredibly versatile vegetables , grains and legumes can be. Also, we know that no one in their right mind would give up tacos. There are many, many alternatives to making great tacos without dairy and meat.
