Make your own magic and believe in it. ✨ Time and time again, I have found that listening to your inner Self & believing in your strengths & potential is the most magical, freeing thing you can do for yourself. 🙏🏼 Major mood in my 28th year! • • “Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.” - Rumi • • I will always love this quote by Rumi, and feel that it definitely applies to #selflove! Sometimes you are the one blocking your own path—I always have to check myself for self doubt and negativity! Just wrapped up a wonderful, empowering trip with the @sprinkles_creative girls and I’m so thankful to have people in my life who wholeheartedly believe in and encourage each other!! • • Thank you everyone for your lovely birthday messages this week, I appreciate each and every one! 🥰 And thanks to all who answered my recont polls—working on making more content that will be most helpful to you in your #vegan journey!! 🌱

Today marks 28 years into this journey called life! So thankful for where I am with my passions & for the love & support of everyone who makes life brighter + sweeter, including you all! 🥰 Happy #TreatYourselfTuesday—treat yourself to something nice today! I know I will be!💃🏻 • • Anyone else feel more gravitated to simple pleasures as they get older? 🙏🏼 I’ll take a cozy family gathering over a big party any day. 🤗 I’m spending the better half of my week with @sprinkles_creative in Austin, can’t think of a better crew to ring in 28 with! 💃🏻 • • My family started my bday celebrations early over the weekend, so I’m feeling extra loved lately! 🥰Still absolutely obsessed w/this gorgeous cookie cake my family @maibananna & @jackietien made for my bday! 🌻✨🌿 It’s the most beautiful thing anyone’s ever made for me! Shortcake cookies + @kitehillfoods cream cheese frosting + fresh guava filling, topped with kiwi + golden Oreos + pistachios + chocolate covered coconut flakes + white chocolate chips! 😍🙏🏼 #veganbaking #florals

Happy #MeatlessMonday, y’all! Have you ever had Korean #streetfood? My sweet family veganized a bunch of fun Korean dishes for my early birthday celebration yesterday! I’ve been sending my fam lots of pics from @itslizmiu & @the.korean.vegan, seems they got the hint of what I’ve been craving 😂😉 It was beautiful and delicious, and also loaded with all the veggies of course 😍 • • The spread: • 떡꼬치 ddukbokki on a stick (spicy rice cakes) 🍚🌶 • 야채전 vegetable pancakes (made with #wholegrains) 🥬 • 김밥 kimbap • • Feels like I’ve been celebrating my birthday all week (it’s actually Tuesday)! So thankful for family and friends who make me feel so loved all year round. 🤗🥰 #eatmoreplants #whatveganseat

🌿🍞🌿Tfw you accidentally hold up the toast bar line bc everyone’s taking a photo of your plate 🙈😂 New occupation, #toastartist 👩🏻‍🎨🍞 @stuffontoast would be proud! Lol! 🥰 Loved trying these spreads by @thesimplesprout_! • • Had a lovely time at The Simple Sprout’s #wintergreengala last night with the girls @beetsbybrooke & @colormecourtney_, and made some new sweet lady friends like @heaelizabeth & @amanda.thicktofit! Girls supporting girls is literally the BEST thing. 💃🏻The evening was empowering, inspiring and of course, delicious. 🌿 It made me so happy to see women coming together to uplift & celebrate each other, all while learning about the benefits of plantbased foods!! 💃🏻😍 #wfpb #dfwvegan #eatmoreplants

M A G I C ✨ Hotpot night w/the Viet crew (veggie bún bò baes)! Who else loves #dishwatersoup? 🙋🏻‍♀️🍲 #ifyouknowyouknow • • Family style is the only way to hotpot—throw in sitting on the floor & a newspaper tablecloth for #peakasian status. 😂 For our Viet fusion lẩu thập cẩm (mixed hotpot), we made two broths! • • Top: a delicately fragrant and #thiccAF Thai curry broth, with lemongrass, taro & Thai basil 🌿 • • Bottom: kimchi ramen, and we even went crazy and put some @fieldroast original chao in there #ramenandcheese 🍜🧀 • • For #hotpot, you have a simmering pot in the middle, and lots of fresh ingredients that are added in and cooked as you go! I haven’t had it in a long time, but it’s always a great way to get lots of veggies in when it’s cold out! As for the add-ins, we had a bit of everything, all from the local Viet grocery: bok choy, shen choy, yu choy, purple mint, Thai basil, dill, scallions, veggie gyoza, vegan Vietnamese sausages (chả lụa chay), enoki mushrooms, king mushrooms, purple cabbage, Napa cabbage, and some mock meats we picked up at the Asian store! Also had plenty of Hoisin sauce, chili garlic & fresh limes on deck 🙌🏼 #asianvegan

Sunday brunch—sweet or savory?! 😛 I like a little bit of both! Lucky for us, @dallasfarmersmarket has an abundance of vegan options, including @bamsvegan & @veganvibrationz, my fam’s two fave vendors at the market! • • We got the best of both worlds—@bamsvegan’s French Toast Melt 🥪 + @veganvibrationz loaded lasagna + greens, plus a couple adorable chocolate pecan cupcakes with caramel 😱😭🙌🏼 Also tried Bam’s new juice option—today it was #soursop + carrot + 🍊! It reminded me of juices my parents would make, very nostalgic for me and @maibananna 😌 Happy Sunday, y’all! Hope your first week of 2019 was fantastic! 🌿 #dfwvegan #brunchgame #breakfastfood

It’s 2019 y’all, let’s get this bánh mì! 🤣 (Caption inspired by @storiesbytim 🙌🏼) 🥖🥖🥖 Spent the last moments of 2018 with some of the best company 💃🏻 So grateful for our cozy lil #dfwvegan community! 🌿 I’ve gotten many DM’s about this recipe I made for last night’s NYE festivities, so I put together a quick how-to #ontheblog—link is in my bio! Hope you love these bites as much as my friends and I did! #VietAF ❤️🌿 • • 2018 was a year of solid work and inner growth for me, with so many adventures & lessons, but the most consuming and challenging was my journey with my Master’s thesis. I have a highlight for my thesis if you wanna check it out! There’s not much visuals to share lately, because a lot of it has truly been mental work, pushing through the weight of my own self doubt, and tons of reading & research. For those who don’t know, I have been diving deep into my #landscapearchitecture design thesis about how design can serve refugee communities via community gardens + spaces! Made a whole lot of progress with guidance from great people, landed a dream collaboration with the local @theirc in Dallas, and I couldn’t be more excited to see this project further unfold, from the data gathering to the final design synthesis! 🙏🏼 • • My intentions for 2019 are to continue to always create with intention and meaning, saying no to things that don’t serve me, and taking even better care of myself, while further exploring and growing my crafts as a designer & artist. A big part of that is sharing as much useful content, inspiration and light as I can, through the things I create, for YOU! 🙏🏼❤️ Thank you all so much for the support; I’m so happy to be able to share the beauty of my passions with you. May 2019 be the year that you actively create love through your actions, and seek more moments that make you feel grateful to be alive!! ❤️

Hope you’re all having a cozy #NewYearsEve! ✨ Who else is coughing up their soul but still having a good time? 🤣 I’ve gotten over the worst part of being sick but there’s still some residual coughing 😷 The cold weather inspired me to make this healing spicy ginger mung bean soup the other day for @heysarahfun & @ffaaddedd’s housewarming the other night! It was well received 🙏🏼😍 but as usual, I didn’t measure so I’m gonna have to remake this again to share with y’all on the blog 💛 Stay warm and safe out there tonight!! #NYE #whatveganseat #foodstylingandphotography #flatlaytoday

Weekends are for family & brunchos, aka nachos with all the brunch fixings 😍 @maibananna and I put this spread together yesterday and it was everything we wanted it to be 😛 • • You can make these too!! 🤗 Here’s what we used: + @krogerco’s waffle fries + @letthyfood smoky cheddar dip 🧀 + @justforall’s #justegg scramble + diced tomatoes + pickled onions + avocado salsa + cilantro + fresh lime juice on everything 👌🏼#idontwantsalad #whatveganseat
