Holidays can be tough for vegans. Usually it means spending time with family members who are obsessed with food – and for most of us that means family members who eat dead animal carcasses. My family is no exception to that. While some of them are more vegetarian curious – meaning they are...
It was harder than I thought. Being vegan in Mexico that is. I am so fortunate to be a Web designer with amazing clients, the majority of which are doctors and some of which are surgeons.
