Compassionately Cool
I randomly came across Alicia Silverstone’s website, The Kind Life today and got totally sucked in for nearly 2 hours. It’s really amazing how much stuff is out there: yummy food, healthy home stuff, fun and funky fashion.
It’s been my long-standing belief that guilt-free decadence shouldn’t be an oxymoron and it’s awesome to see so many sites proving it up by offering practical resources for compassionate coolness. Veganism has given itself a stunning makeover in the last few years: from bearded hippie agitators to beautiful hip athletes and A-listers.
Lately people from all walks of life seem to be “outing” themselves as vegans, transcending former stereotypes to create their own elite (but achievable) form of aspirational living that is more about gratification than deprivation.
Amen to that.
Fortunately you don’t have to be a vegan to benefit from the great information on this site and the huge community forum is super-supportive of anyone who is just getting started and those of us who may just be “flirting” with the idea.
Hey, every little bit helps, right? Baby steps.
So if you’re interested in living more consciously – or even just curious about why anyone cares about this stuff – take a few minutes to poke around a bit. You’ll probably find at least a few cool things you’re dying to try and it will definitely give you something to think about.
