Tried a new vegan spot in Chicago πŸ‘€πŸŒ± The Green Ap Tried a new vegan spot in Chicago πŸ‘€πŸŒ±

The Green Ape is currently in soft launch before opening officially on May 3rd, and we stopped by to check it out. 
@the.greenape 

What we tried:
– Lasagna roll up (definitely worth getting)
– β€œMane” attraction sandwich πŸ¦πŸ„
– Fried chick’n sandwich
– Baked vanilla donuts with lemon zest πŸ‹

Everything was really solid, but the lasagna roll up and donuts stood out the most for me.

If you’re nearby, it’s a nice one to check out before the official opening.

I found VEGAN hard boiled eggs at Whole Foods and I found VEGAN hard boiled eggs at Whole Foods and I had to try them! 

The ingredients are surprisingly clean, and they’re actually so good on ramen.

They are made by @mycraftycounter and they’re honestly so so good! Just sprinkle some black salt (Kala namak) on them for the eggy flavor.

What you put ON your body matters just as much as What you put ON your body matters just as much as what you put IN it 🌱

These are my go-to vegan + clean skincare & makeup staples - no harsh ingredients, no animal-derived components, just effective formulas I trust.

I’ve used these all for YEARS and have repurchased these many times.

@koraorganics day & night moisturizers, serums, turmeric mask - I love them all!
@biossance eye serum & rose face oil
@drunkelephant marula oil 
@summerfridays skin tint & lip balms 
@florencebymills concealer & mascara
@rarebeauty brow pencil, gel, lip pencil, contour, highlighter & brush
@eosproducts lip balms 
@alpynbeauty lip mask - love it so much!
@mangopeoplecosmetics lip & cheek tints
@palmers cocoa lip butter - the ABSOLUTE BEST!
@ecotools brushes - the ones and only
@iliabeauty lip pencil - I love this one a lot - very pigmented so you only need a touch
@josiemaran body butter (in the old packaging still because I love it more than the current one lol)
@thejojobaco oil for face, body & hair - I use it for literally anything - it does wonders with irritated skin in the winter or dry elbows or anything else.
