Today’s post is a little bit different from what I usually post here on my blog, but I am super excited about this one! I am pretty much obsessed with food, and yet I am not skilled at cooking, and I’m basically the queen of takeout and frozen meals. Rarely do I ever prepare my own food.

I thought it would be a fun experiment to step outside of my comfort zone, at least for one day. Not only would I be preparing all of my own meals, but each meal would be vegan. It sounds easy enough, right? For someone like myself, who never thinks about what I’m putting into my body and just eats whatever I’m hungry for, this took quite a bit of planning and dedication on my part.

Sometimes we get headaches and/or stomach cramps and not think much about it, but we could have an allergy to something we are consuming, yet never even realize it. The tests at HealthLabs.com are a great way to discover what works with your body. If you’re interested in trying one of these kits, use my code: SURREALISTIQUE25 to receive 25% off all vegan testing.
