Goji Berries Are Great For Health, Memory and Brain =)

                             
Goji berries are amazing. They grow near the Himalayas around Tibet. They're delicious, red colored little berries that are extremely healthy. Goji berries are proven to have a lot of health benefits like reducing blood sugar, cholesterol, improving memory and brain functions. Most of Vegan food have many health benefits as well because plants are the real food with lots of nutrients in them.
                             
You can find Goji berries in some stores or you can order them online. They go with anything, you can add them in your smoothies or just eat them as dried fruits. If you want to have improved memory and brain in short time. Try Goji berries. Eat a handful everyday, you won't need too much to get the nutrients from them.
                             

Wonderful Raw Vegan Cocoa Goji Berry Bars

                                  
I found these Cocoa Goji Berry bars at Whole Foods and they're amazing. I buy them all the time now. They have some other energy, raw bars that are vegan. This one is the best. Goji berries are very healthy, I love chocolate so I'm glad I found these cocoa bars for snacking sometimes. I took some pictures of them at home for you to see. You should definitely try them if you ever go to Whole Foods.

Spiders Approach You When You Go Vegan !!

Many of these little cool looking creatures approached me after I became Vegan recently. I realized spiders might love Vegans for some reasons. Perhaps Vegans are more in tune with nature and animals around them. These creatures seem very sensitive to energy and what's going on around them. They have several eyes and legs that they move around easily. I felt like this creature was watching me for a while like trying to understand me or feeling me. Spiders are very smart and extraordinary creatures for sure. I've never been this close to them before. Am I becoming the Spider Man. =)  I don't think so. Going Vegan is awesome. Humans meant to be Vegans in reality. All animals are our friends. This little guy jumped on me like dogs jump on people to hug them. It was weird ! I never felt bad about this spider being near me. I don't know what kind of spider this is but this type of spider is pretty cool looking and friendly. I don't like spiders like that. They are scary, creepy looking and some are poisonous so gotta be careful about them. I just want to make a point about how Vegans become closer to all creatures and animals after some time.

How To Make A Simple Vegan Sandwich =)

I love making Vegan sandwiches all the time. I make this sandwich because it's very easy to make and very delicious =)  This Vegan sausage is so tasty combined with the tomatoes or vegan cheeses and sauces. Check what kind of bread you get before you buy. Some bread contain milk or eggs. I read the ingredients of all the groceries I buy before I purchase them. So many things that look Vegan may contain milk, eggs etc. Best way is to read all the ingredients of all the items all the time. Most of the vegan sausages are great. I don't really like Vegan veggies dogs or veggie chickens. They remind me of real meat with their taste and look. I can only eat the vegan sausages in this moment. Vegan must prepare most of their food unless it's raw fruits and veggies. It's like only very few items are Vegan at grocery stores but luckily the vegan products are growing in grocery stores. So many people are going vegan. I'm glad it's so popular now. A lot of people becoming aware of what's going. We're what we eat and no animals are meant to be food for people. There are so many delicious fruits, veggies, nuts of all kinds for us to eat and consume instead of animals, meat and dairy products.

Top Reasons To Go Vegan In 2018


Baby Tomato Plants Sprouted

This was my first try to grow my own plants in a pot. They sprout so fast from seeds that I put inside the soil. I love watching them grow everyday. I finally transplanted them to my backyard for them to receive sunlight and grow bigger. Growing plants and your own food is one of the best things you can do in your life. There are so many plants like tomatoes to grow easily. Tomatoes love sunlight so always plant them in places that receive tons of sunlight throughout the day. They'll never say 'Oh no. this is too much sunlight for me' It will help them grow bigger in short time also produce tasty tomatoes in warm months of the year. I believe tomatoes are one of the best kind of plants to grow. They sprout fast, do photosynthesis easily with the sunlight they absorb and they'll give you one of the tastiest vegetables like red tomatoes. People eat tomatoes all the time without knowing. Most of the soups, sandwiches, burgers, salads always have tomatoes in them. Vegans love them even more. I can't live without tomatoes. I add them into everything. I make pizzas, sandwiches, salads even smoothies with them. Tomatoes are awesome =)

What Is Money?

Maybe you don't need too much money like everyone wants. Watch the video above and think. Money may not be the answer to everything. It just gives you more stuff that you probably won't need. Living a minimalist life might be the answer to happiness and fulfillment. Go Vegan, grow your own plants and garden, eat less, be minimalist. You'll see that you're lighter, happier and more fulfilled with a sense of purpose. Don't let survival instincts win you over for the hunger of money and stuff =)

How Your Body Transforms On A Vegan Diet

This is a very informative video made by a Vegan Youtuber. He's one of my favorite Youtubers. His videos teach about Veganism and its aspects. Going Vegan really transforms you and your body in all ways. I didn't know most of these things that happen to Vegans in short time.

What Happens When You Go Vegan?

Going Vegan is definitely one of the best things you can do in your life. I found a draw and talk app in AppStore. I started writing and talking about what happens after going Vegan. You absolutely find a sense of purpose in yourself when you go Vegan. You save so many animals just by not eating them. Think about that for a minute. People kill millions even billions of animals just to eat them. Animals in reality are never meant to be food for people. Plants, fruits, veggies, nuts of all kinds are the real food. Not animals. Please. How can people not understand this? You start a new stage in your life by going Vegan. You get a lot healthier in short time since most of the health problems are actually food related. A lot of people got rid of so many health problems like diabetes, hypertension, hearth disease, obesity and so many more diseases after they went Vegan. Going Vegan is amazing !!

Redwood Forest Is Magical

I'm amazed by these beautiful trees that exist in California forests. They create magical forests by standing so tall with so much beauty. Redwood trees are the tallest trees in the world. That makes Redwood forests one of the most beautiful forests in the world as well. Unfortunately these trees are dying and diminishing in short time. People cut so many of them in the past. These beautiful trees must survive. Only way to make them survive and grow in count is to plant them. So many forests even rainforests are dying. We must stop this. Once you the beauty of these amazing trees, you realize that we must also protect them.

Travel Like A Monk

I saw 3 monks in Florida that were traveling. Even monks travel a lot. I'm not sure where they get their money from. You cannot be working with all those orange clothes. I saw few monks at the mall in Florida before. They were shopping with bags and shoe boxes in their hands =D  I didn't know monks wear colorful running shoes under their traditional clothing. I made a video about it. These monks love traveling. They don't just pray in the mountain. I guess they were tired of it. Everyone needs adventure in their lives. I've been to many places in U.S and I filmed the nice places with my camera to make videos. I'm sure monks go to these nice places as well. They're probably from Nepal or close. Of course traveling in U.S is easier with a car. Just fill up and drive to go anywhere you like. Highways are convenient to drive on. They take you to most states by just driving straight. Of course my favorite state is Florida but I love New Orleans, LA, the state of Georgia too. There are nice places and things to do in those states and they aren't too expensive. Nice weather is another reason to be in South.

Last Day of Mardi Gras In New Orleans Full HD

This is the last day of Mardi Gras 2018. It was probably the biggest fun in New Orleans. The parades were bigger, parties were more fun that day. New Orleans offers great nightlife, things to do, Jazz music. One of the best times to go to New Orleans is during Mardi Gras. They throw beads, gifts and coins from colorful cars and from the balconies on Bourbon, Royal streets. So many tourists came to New Orleans for the Mardi Gras. Last day was crowded and fun. It was hard to walk on Bourbon street cause of the crowds. I didn't know New Orleans had one of the best nightlife scenes in U.S. Bourbon street, Frenchmen street, Royal and other streets offer great nightlife and club scenes. I filmed most of the things I've seen during Mardi Gras and made a video. You can click above to watch it.

US Customary - Metric
Instructions
The day before or early that day:
  1. Cut the block of tempeh in half width wise so it makes two shorter blocks. 
  2. Boil in a pot of water for about 20 minutes. This cuts the bitterness from the tempeh.
  3. Meanwhile, make marinade by combining everything in a large container.
  4. Once the tempeh is done, allow to cool. Then cut into thin slices, about 1/8 inch thick. Using a very sharp knife will make this easier.
  5. Add thinly sliced tempeh into the marinade and allow it to soak for at least 4-6 hours, overnight is best.
Next day or later that day:
  1. Preheat oven to 350 F (175 C). 
  2. Take tempeh slices out of the marinade (save it!) and spread them out in a thin layer in a 9 x 13 baking dish. 
  3. Gently pour about 1/4 cup of the marinade over the tempeh slices. 
  4. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the edges are brown. 
  5. Meanwhile, slice the potatoes into thick french fry sized slices. I keep the skins on but you can peel them if you prefer.
  6. Place them in a bowl and cover with water to help remove some of the starch. Allow to soak for 5-10 minutes.
  7. Prep the tomatoes, red onion, lettuce and make tzatziki if you haven't yet. 
  8. Drain the potatoes and pat dry. Put them back in the bowl.
  9. Add broth, aquafaba or oil (whatever liquid you prefer) and salt. Mix well.
  10. Once tempeh gyro slices are done, remove from oven and cover with foil to keep warm. Set aside. 
  11. Turn the oven up to 450 F (230 C). 
  12. Spread the potatoes over a cookie sheet and bake for 30 minutes.
  13. When the potatoes are done, warm the pita bread in a damp towel for 2-3 minutes to soften. 
  14. Build your gyros with the tempeh gyro slices, potatoes, tomatoes, red onion and lettuce if preferred. 
  15. Drizzle tzatziki over the top and devour

Tour of Permaculture Community in Costa Rica

This place in Costa Rica is amazing. I'm so happy to see so many people are building Permaculture gardens all over the world, not only in U.S. Permaculture farming is a great way to grow your own food that will grow by itself for a while without much work. You only need to find the right seeds and start building your garden and farm. After some time, it will keep growing naturally. You can always find organic fertilizers that will feed your plants and trees. This place really looks amazing. Costa Rica has a tropical climate so they grow the right plants that thrive in tropical environment. It probably rains a lot there so you don't even need to water your farm.

You're a dryad. You're one with nature. It's all connected. Energy in motion, flowing

I realized that human race meant to be dryads. They literally forgot that. Dryads are protectors of the nature and Earth. Humans destroy the nature instead of protecting it. They need to remember that it's not all about profit. We're all one with nature. It's a huge organism that constantly flows. It's all energy in motion. It doesn't look like it to human eye because it's a 3D world. Survival instincts block our awareness. We all meant to be vegans. We're all connected in all ways. Everyone is an individual which they have different brains, hands, arms so we can do things with them. It's all made to protect and preserve nature. That's how dryads are. They're part of nature, made of nature, the water, the soil, the air, the plants. We're same. We just forgot. I just remembered it. It's like nature told me. When I saw that banging on wood to call for protection of beings from nature is an ancient tradition. It all makes sense now. I realized we're those beings in reality. Everything you see and feel in our society is made of the environment around us. When we realize we're all connected, we can get smarter and transform our society to protect Earth. It's always talking to us. You only need to listen.

Vegan Foods That Contain More Protein than beef

Here are some of the plant based foods that contain more protein than beef. People think meat contains more protein than anything but it's wrong. You don't have to eat dead animals for protein. All vegetables, plants contain some protein and some even more. Broccoli and spinach are amazing. They also contain a lot of iron and other vitamins and minerals in them. Everyone loves peanut butter and almond butter as well. They go with anything. Hemp seeds are great to add into your smoothies. These are all soy free. All kinds of beans contain more protein than meat. We never meant to eat animals for food or to get the protein we need in our body. A plant based diet reduces all health problems, makes you healthy, happy and you get more protein than you ever need in your life. Do your research and save the animals also the environment from disaster.

Fun Times in Pensacola Florida




I had nice times in Pensacola Florida. This small city is located on Panhandle of Florida between Mobile AL and Fort Walton Beach FL. It has a population of around 500,000 people. This cool city has a nice downtown, a beautiful beach, a nice mall and other things to do. I love it’s Downtown. You should definitely catch the Gallery Night once here. It happens once a month on a Friday. There are many festivals and things to do here in this town. I made few videos of this Beautiful small city of Florida. This city is closer to Alabama than it is to other parts of Florida but it still has the Florida vibe. Downtown area offers cool bars, cafes, art galleries, museums, a pier and more. There are some festivals that are organized for fun as well. I watched few sunsets by the pier here and they were awesome. The last video above shows that. Please click to watch the videos so you can see how nice it is here. You should definitely visit here if you live close. This is a nice little city that offers fun things and it’s not too crowded or annoys you with crazy traffic like other big cities. You can get around easily. Gallery Night is one of its best festivals that pulls many people in with art shows, drinks, beer, live music and cool events.

This is a cool story about building an Earthship home and living. Earthship homes are becoming very popular especially in Vegan communities. You can grow your own food in and around these type of homes because they receive sunlight through its roof. There is enough land to plant and grow all kinds of vegetables, plants, flowers, herbs and more around it. Click the video to watch. We would all love to build and live in an Earthship home in the future. It's a dream especially for Vegans. It supports a healthy, happy and self sufficient sustainable life for the people and the environment.

Why You Must Go Vegan To Save The World !!




Building A PermaCulture Paradise

This is a video I found on Youtube about beginning a Permaculture garden. You can turn your lawn and land into a Permaculture Garden Paradise in short time if you put some effort. The food you grow will be good for you and you can sell the rest or all in farmers' markets. Permaculture is becoming very popular these days. A lot of people are creating their own Permaculture gardens wherever they can. You can find cheaper houses and lands in rural areas to start a Permaculture food forest, garden to eat for you also sell. Permaculture makes the land and house value go up by at least %20. Who wouldn't love a house and land that you can grow your own food without much work. After some time, PermaCulture grows by itself and becomes permanent. Other farming methods mostly kill the soil, the animals and poisons the plants with pesticides and chemicals. Only little fertilizer or none is used in Permaculture. Most of the method depends on natural ways of growing and feeding the plant life. There are many types of fertilizers that you can find like mulch or any other. You never need those expensive fertilizers that poison your plants. As you can see, this garden will become a beautiful food forest in few months to give tasty, fresh food to its owners. Permaculture gardens are meant to be permanent hence the name PermaCulture (Permanent Culture). As you know, most plants spread out during the season by spreading their own seeds all over the place to grow new plants. You won't even need seeds after a season once the plants grow big enough.

Random Thoughts..We Must Go Vegan and Plant Everywhere To Save The World

  I decided that I would note down everything that I know and all my ideas whatever. Writing is fun. Typing on the keyboard is a lot faster than writing on a notepad so I will type more and also note it down when I'm not on the computer. Hopefully it can become something good to share with others. There is a lot going on in the world. A lot of things are happening secretly. I believe people must wake up and start taking action about it. This is our world. It became a chaotic environment for people to live. Way too much problems. I don't even look at the news anymore because it's very negative. You can't have good mental health if you keep watching the news and reading it. Most of it are fake anyway. I don't even believe it. Anyways I found a message from a man named Marshall which is a pretty cool name. He mentions that he started receiving messages from God through an Angelic Assembly that watches over our planet called Earth. It was remarkable to this. I started reading and watching the videos. It seems real to me. The messages contain some info that people don't know about. They mention aliens and the life in the universe. It states that aliens may not be that friendly and they are similar in intentions to people. They need things, they want to take over, they deceive, manipulate and more. They aren't coming here to save the world at all. They have totally different agendas. They see Earth as a planet with lots of resources which can be useful for them. People are destroying their own planet so they want to act even started intervening secretly to gain advantage here. It's logical to me. I do understand that. This is a beautiful world that's being destroyed by people especially in these modern times. Population is ever growing. Industries are polluting the air, the water, the environment. Rainforests are dying. Resources are diminishing. People must wake to what's going on and take action about saving their own world instead of doing other unnecessary things that don't make sense. Most of the things that we do everyday give us joy and fulfillment for very short time. Being happy means more. We must save and protect our world. Look what we've done. I don't blame any beings come here to take advantage over here. It makes sense. I would do the same thing if I was coming from elsewhere to this world. I'm upset about how our world is being destroyed everyday. Technology is never the answer to all the problems of the world. Technology won't save the world. Technology is good and necessary in a way but it actually takes too much resources and you really don't need a newer cell phone, a computer, a bigger tv nor a camera every time a new product comes out. Consumerism is killing our world. Industries are making products to sell for profit. Not all of them are necessary. Most of them are junk to sell that give people short time happiness to stop their never ending hunger. A minimalist life may be the happiest life. What if you never really need anything? Go out, enjoy your life, breathe the fresh air, travel, meet new people, help someone in need... It shouldn't be all about surviving. There are better ways to survive than working hard all the time to buy stuff that you don't need. We must become connected to our world and the nature. Animals are part of the nature. They help nature build itself. People aren't like that. People are taking away from nature to survive like crazy. Surviving is about giving back to nature. I found out that veganism is a great to save the environment and protect the nature. Nature is all we have. Not even a bit of it must not be vanished. Vegans do save the world in a sense. It may be a great start that will unite people to do more to save this world. There are aliens out there who want to finish it off and make it all theirs if we don't stop fix our problems soon. They already began the process. People will never no rights in the future. They will basically get punished for failing to protect their world. We must stop this.

I will type as much as I can to see what will come out of it. I also noticed that there are new electric trucks and vehicles on their way to highways. This is great news. Gasoline engine cars and trucks are polluting the world and they're costly. Electric vehicles are green for the environment. Oil industry is useless. I hope electric vehicles will take over soon.

  Mardi Gras is so much fun in New Orleans. There were many parades that they throw beads and gifts after that the parties started at night on Bourbon Street and Royal Street. New Orleans has amazing Jazz music and superb nightlife especially during Mardi Gras because so many people come to visit during that time. It lasts around 3 weeks with many parades, parties, clubbing, bar scene, so many tourists and things to do. I saw so many people with cool costumes. A lot of people dressed up like it was Halloween.

  
 New Orleans is a lovely city that's been influenced by French, Spanish and American cultures. This is the most unique city in U.S. There is no place like New Orleans. If you go at the right time, you can have the most fun like during Mardi Gras. Biggest Mardi Gras and nightlife are in New Orleans. I tried to film most of it with my camera and made few movies. You can watch them by clicking on the videos. Don't forget to subscribe to my Youtube channel as well.

  I know Mardi Gras isn't Vegan but it was a lot of fun so I had to share this on my blog. There are a few Vegan restaurants, bakeries in New Orleans and the number is growing fast. A lot of new Vegan places are opening all around the U.S. Please look on the map and support those Vegan places that offer good food and pastries that are Vegan and delicious. We need more Vegan businesses everywhere so everyone can enjoy real plant based food without harming any animals. Go Vegan !!
The whole streets were full of people partying, drinking, collecting beads during Mardi Gras. New Orleans has one of the best nightlife scenes in U.S. There are so many clubs and bars that offer dance music, drinks and many Jazz clubs.
