What did I do on Monday? I hung out with Alicia Silverstone—NBD. (I love my job.)
You might know her as Cher from the hit movie Clueless, the author of The Kind Diet, and an advocate for animals, but this week, she opened her heart to students at UCLA, sharing the story of her personal journey to becoming vegan. Alicia confessed that her vegan lifestyle helps with her allergies and with her efforts to keep a fit body and clear skin and that it makes her just an all around better person.
Hundreds of students gathered to hear her story, ask questions, grab a delicious meal from Native Foods, and get their copy of The Kind Diet signed.
Alicia says, “Being vegan truly is the secret to my life’s joy and peace,” and with yummy options like the seared seitan roast, garlic roasted mashed potatoes, mushroom gravy, mixed-greens salad, pumpkin pie, and pumpkin cheesecake (Thanksvegan, anyone?!) that Native Foods served at the event, there is no reason not to be vegan.
Join Alicia and the millions of others who are living “the kind life“—go vegan!

Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.
Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ
I'm tall, a geek, nacho - obsessed, I love sewing and Cath Kidston, also I'm vegetarian (wannabe vegan.)
Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.
I love animals about as much as rock, heavy metal, tea, and coffee. Hoping to make a difference and help animals through PETA!!!
I want to get into marketing but not have to rely on people which have different morals and worldviews than I do to hire me. While I'm figuring this out, I want to show everyone what I believe in and spur them into action against injustices.

I am Angela. When I am not helping animals I am listening to music, reading, or playing video games. My spirit animal is a fox and I love nature. What else is there to know? Want to know anything about me, need advice or anything message me :)
