Introducing: A new series, MM or {Marvelous Mondays}.
A lot of bloggers do some version of a weekly roundup. Usually this post comes out on Fridays & is a recap of their favorite things from the week. I like this idea, but thought, hey, why wait until Friday? Why not do it on Monday? Start your week with some random facts, inspiration, & things to think about as you go throughout your week.
Random thoughts, things that have crossed my path, articles I’ve read, that I want to share with you.
I really like wearing dresses. When I was in the 2nd grade, it’s all I wore. Although that fad didn’t stick (fortunately), I’m still a fan of items of clothing that are flowing & feminine.
Here is one of my fave summer dresses.
I bought it at Target a few years back. On clearance. 5 bucks. Dresses are so free-flowing, non-constricting. Why don’t we wear dresses more often?
Allyson from Manifest Vegan, gives an unconventional recipe for purple yam ice cream & explains the difference between a yam & a sweet potato here.
This video will make you believe in love again.
Do you pin? I do. But after reading this article (try to look past all the legalize & jargon, she has some great points), I was left wondering if she doesn’t have a point.
Gena, from Choosing Raw, writes an interesting article, sharing her narrative about why she went vegan & how her motives have evolved. She also shares a recipe for a colorful raw salad.
Q & A with Lani Maurelth about soy, beans, & gluten, & more.
Char from Char’s Kitchen, opens up about her struggles with an eating disorder & shares some tips on how to break free from restricting, binging & purging.
Like curry? Love & Lemons has a new recipe, that is going on my to-do list. Also, a fab vegetarian take on a omni favorite, perfect for a summer get together.
I like these T-strap flats. Classy, in a Great Gatsby sorta way.
Chocolate “pudding” using canned pumpkin? Brilliant.
Ever wish you knew a little more about how use different kinds of natural sweeteners? Eating Bird Food’s Brittany, breaks it all down for ya here, & gives a helpful chart.
On my wish list for places to go this summer: Clayoquot Wildnerness Resort in B.C.
Brainstorming the kinds of things I want to do this summer with my kids–this post & this DIY interlocking cardboard castle have given me a few ideas.
List of happy things.
Speaking of summer, I like the #8 swimsuit, but is it just me, or is anyone else absolutely terrified to wear a suit without straps? Wearing this suit + holding a baby w/ go-go gadget arms=disaster!
Gonna make this (with a gf crust), whenever I just feel like eating some really delicious, comfort food, darn it! (Daiya cheese, is absolutely addicting, btw)
One of the best summaries I’ve found on the differences, similarities, & definitions of various plant-based diets.
Can you believe what these precise & beautiful anatomical cross-sections are made from?
Joseph made me watch this trailer. The cast, the story (I love the book), the music. It’s going to be spectacular. Then I punched him when I found out the movie isn’t coming out until December. I hate it when he shows me movie trailers for really good movies, a year in advance.
A new, 12 minute cardio workout video.

What is going to make this week marvelous for YOU? (I’m going to the BlogHer Food conference in Seattle this weekend. It’s going to be fab.)
