1200 Calorie Vegan Diet | What I Eat In a Day

This post may contain affiliate links; all opinions are my own. See Disclosures here

This is my second month of being vegan! I started eating vegetarian in 2013, and decided to progress to eating completely plant-based in September. The transition has been alright so far, especially since there are so many amazing vegan “substitute” foods available. I’m also still on my weight loss journey — which has slowed down since I lost 30 lbs. I’ve lost 6 more pounds since then, and I wanted to share what I eat in a day now that I’m vegan:

I’ve had my Fjallraven Kanken for a little over a year now. I initially bought it because I wanted a good backpack that I could use everyday and I really liked the squared-off design. Now that I’ve had the backpack for a while, I thought I would do a follow up post to let you know what I think of my Fjallraven Kanken backpack one year later.

Upgrading from the iPhone 6s to the iPhone 8 Plus

As you probably already know, Apple just released their new iPhone models — the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus. They also announced the iPhone X which will be released in early November. I know a lot of people who are wanting an upgrade are waiting for the iPhone X, but I thought the 8 was going to be better for me.

Can You Use Polaroid Zink Paper with the HP Sprocket

This post may contain affiliate links; all opinions are my own. See Disclosures here

I’ve been using the Polaroid Zip photo printer for a while now, and I stocked up on a lot of the zink paper. I love decorating my planner with little photo memories and having real photos I can touch. Polaroid updated their app on iOS, and lately it’s been really awful navigating to try to print out a photo. I found a deal on the HP Sprocket photo printer and it uses similar zink paper. Since I have a lot of the Polaroid paper still, I started wondering if you can use the Polaroid zink paper in the HP Sprocket.

We went to Whole Foods today to pick up some groceries. In September we are choosing to eat all plant-based — Septegan (September + Vegan), but I wanted to get a head start and make sure we had some awesome vegan foods ready to go. I found some new recipes that I wanted to try out through Instagram, so I bought those ingredients and some regular everyday foods too. Here’s everything we bought:

Etsy Planner Stickers + Washi Tape Haul

This post may contain affiliate links; all opinions are my own. See Disclosures here

I’m really excited to share my little etsy haul with you! I’ve been using an Erin Condren Life Planner for years and I love the bright, colorful version. Each month is a new color which keeps it interesting and makes me want to keep using my planner. I love the colorful details throughout, so I don’t use a ton of stickers that cover up all of that detail. You already saw all of the things I use when I plan in my Planning Essentials post, but recently I turned to etsy to find some decorative sticker sheets for my upcoming vacation. I found some awesome deco stickers, and even some new washi tape!!

Do Popsockets Stick to Apple Silicone Cases?

This post may contain affiliate links; all opinions are my own. See Disclosures here

If you haven’t heard of Popsockets, they’re little plastic phone grips that expand out to make it easy to hold your phone or other devices. I’d wanted one for a while, but I wasn’t sure if it would work with my phone case. I have the iPhone 6s with an Apple silicone phone case and I couldn’t find any information on if the Popsockets stick to the Apple silicone case, but I decided to try it out and see for myself. Hopefully this answers any questions you have too:
