Thanksgiving and Birthday

Hi, healers! I hope you all enjoyed your holiday weekends, and I hope they were vegan ;-)

Thanksgiving was low-key and vegan for me at my house. One of my favorite people came to spend the holiday with me.



And my mom made me one of my favorite fall treats, roasted Brussels sprouts.




Sunday was my birthday, and I turned 27 years old surrounded by love and vegan food. My parents and I went to one of my favorite vegan spots, Kaya's Kitchen, where they have a buffet style lunch on Sundays. My plate was packed with sautéed broccoli and kale in garlic, salad, and mashed potatoes. It was delicious, organic, and pretty Gerson friendly.



I'm a happy vegan camper!



On the way home, we stopped at my favorite natural market that caters to the raw vegan, Dean's Market, where I ordered a 24oz kale, spinach, and apple juice.





My parents gave me the Fenix Trigger Point Peg Board. This device is heaven for people with Fibromyalgia. It allows you to release your own trigger points with some discomfort and a lot of dedication.


 

They also gave me yoga paws! These little pieces of heaven allow you to do yoga without your hands slipping. They are also made from Eco-friendly materials.




Shorter is so thoughtful. Look what he surprised me with:


 
The perfect birthday for the vegan healer!

 
 
Today, my fur baby, Shorter, turns four years old. Happy Birthday!!!
 

Happy Healing!

I'm glad the festivities were full of joy and veganism! You deserve the best and all the healing needed to make you well.

Have a great day!

Hi Maria, I'm considering buying the Fenix Board but am hesitant because of the price. Can you write your thoughts on it after you have tried it for a while? I'm really curious whether whether you think it's helpful for relieving myofascial muscle pain or not. I read the reviews of it on Amazon, and a lot of them sound like "fake" positve reviews. Thanks so much!

Thank you, ladies! I had a wonderful day :-)

Anonymous, I love it so far. It's a lot of work and you have to be prepared for some pain, but it is worth it. I've used it before this at my doctor's office.

Sounds like a wonderful birthday! I wish I could find a vegan restaurant near me. I'm lucky if I can get gluten free vegetarian most of the time. Sugar free would be great too! That juice sounds wonderful. I may just have to make that combination at home today. :)
