Check out some of my favorite blog posts and articles that I discovered this week!

  • Single Serving Chocolate Chip Cookie from Vegan Heartland – The perfect recipe for when you want just one (or two… Or three…) vegan chcolate chip cookies.
  • 8 Must-Read Organization Tips To Get Your Act Together In ’12 from Refinery29 SF – How many of us always say we’re going to be more organized this year? This article gives you some great tips to actually follow through on that this year.
  • How To: False Eyelashes from Cupcakes and Cashmere – This guide offers enough pictures to make it effective. I can’t wait to find some vegan false lashes and give them a try!
  • Sequin Photobooth DIY from Oh Happy Day -This is such a fun idea for a party! Or even everyday use as a fun way to spice up your living room and personal pictures.
  • 10 Blog Investments Under $100 from International Fashion Bloggers – Would Sunday Link Love be complete without a post from IFB? It’s doubtful! This article gives a lot of helpful tips on things that really are worth investing in. There are only a few things I would say to do differently than this guide :  learn how to make your own WordPress theme (or at least modify one) vs spending the money on it, get hosting from an affordable to reliable host like Surpass Hosting, and try using a free online photo editor like Pixlr.

Best of Logical Harmony in 2011

Best of Logical Harmony in 2011

2011 was a big year for Logical Harmony. The site went from being just another beauty and fashion blog to having a fresh new focus. After I decided to live a vegan lifestyle, Logical Harmony also took on an animal friendly tone. It’s been a lot of fun to grow and adapt over the past year. It’s also been great to see what a lot of my long-term readers have also grown and adapted with the changes at Logical Harmony as well. I’m so thankful for all the new readers, companies who have wanted to help my vision, all the other vegan bloggers who have inspired me, and everyone who has been supportive along the way. There are three amazing new contributors to the site and so many new things to share with the readers. I’m really looking forward to the future of Logical Harmon and seeing what’s in store for 2012.

With 2011 coming to an end, it’s time to kick back, sip some vegan champagne, and reflect on the best posts from Logical Harmony over this past year.

Logical Harmony has New Contributors!!

Logical Harmony has New Contributors!!

Nearly a month ago, I announced that I was looking for new contributors for Logical Harmony. Since the sites new re-launch of animal friendly content, it’s taken off and generated a lot of really positive buzz. I wanted to bring other people on board to help keep the site moving forward in the current direction. I thought that having one or two people as regular contributors would help keep the content fresh and make it available to a wider audience.

There were lots of really great applications and it was a really tough decision. However, in the end I selected three people to be contributors here at Logical Harmony. Please check out the new contributors here at Logical Harmony!!

Janine of Alternative Housewife Janine of Alternative Housewife – Janine is a a 25-year-old mama and style blogger in Portland, OR. While she is not vegan, having her son is making her consider her families food & lifestyle choices more and more. When it comes to beauty and cleaning products, Janine believes that truly safe and non-toxic is key, and they also have to WORK. Janine loves reviewing products and working with cool earth-conscious companies. She also loves remixing fashion and finding awesome ‘old soul’ pieces secondhand — and believes that great style is possible on any budget. Janine is a work-at-home-mom (web designer & blogger) and is having so much fun raising her toddler! They both love pigs and Sesame Street.

Kaitlyn of The Daily Fancy Kaitlyn of The Daily Fancy – Kaitlyn is a graphic designer, blogger and pomeranian enthusiast. She loves dancing to jazz music, lives for the summer and prefers brunch over any other meal. Calling Philadelphia home, she continually falls in love with her city on a daily basis as she discovers a new favorite lunch spot or a quaint, tree-lined street. She also owns The Daily Fancy, a highly-curated design and fashion blog featuring editorial-esque layouts, cruelty-free obsessions and the occasional personal style post. With an affinity for luxury and an untamed love of shoes and handbags, The Daily Fancy proves that being cruelty-free doesn’t mean you can’t continue to channel Coco Chanel nor that you have to sacrifice quality. Kaitlyn believes that fashion is about being smart; and that beauty always comes from within. She’d love for you to share her world and check up on what new product she’s coveting or what interweb find she’s currently inspired by.

Shannonmarie of Rawdorable Shannonmarie of Rawdorable – Shannonmarie a.k.a. Rawdorable is a 30-something wife, mom and fun-loving, mostly raw vegan foodie. Although not perfect, she tries her best to carry over her healthy eating habits into the other facets of her life. She won’t wear leather or fur, and likewise, opts to keep animal products off her skin altogether (with the exception of the occasional bee product, which she wishes some of her favorite products would reformulate to avoid them, too). She prefers to be as natural as possible (which is why a bee product may win over one with more chemicals), while still being a “girlie girl” type (a girl has got to express herself, even if it means sometimes sporting cruelty-free vegan nail polish, which is never totally natural). Her toddler daughter, who already likes to make and wear her own edible lip gloss, keeps her young, much like her diet, exercise and love of a good quality, natural, vegan moisturizer. The two of them share their finds, food and experiences on their blog, Rawdorable.

I’m really happy with my decisions. These three ladies are all great bloggers who are really passionate about their topics of choice. I’m really excited to have them on board!

Logical Harmony Has Been Redesigned!

Logical Harmony Has Been Redesigned!

Welcome to the new Logical Harmony! Not only has the physical site been redesigned, but there has also been a shift in content. You can still expect the same mix of fashion, beauty, celebrity style and health posts here. It’s all the same content, just with a new twist.

A couple of months ago, I decided to make the change and go vegan. It had been 13 years since I had eaten an animal with four legs and 10 years since I had dairy products of any kind. So it really wasn’t any huge change in my eating habits and, to be honest, was a very easy change to make. I also decided that I wanted to make that change with a lot of my lifestyle factors as well – starting with my beauty products. From now on, all beauty products featured on Logical Harmony will be cruelty free and/or vegan.

Why did I decide to make this change? As I was researching vegan beauty blogs for new products to use, I had a really hard time finding a blog that I could identify with. One, which I won’t name or even visit again, even suggested that using products like deodorant was unnatural. As I state in the About page, “I’m a girl who loves her wedges, lip gloss, self tanner, and glitter nail polish. Just because I chose to buy vegan options doesn’t mean that I can’t still maintain my sense of style.” I didn’t want to have to change anything about my beauty routine but the products.

The bottom line is that I wanted to make a resource for everyone out there who wants to make better choices with the products they buy without having to give up the things that they love to use.

Logical Harmony still offer the same content on fashion, beauty, product reviews, celebrity style and lifestyle. It will just be geared in a slightly different direction. My goal is to educate my readers and show them the different options that are out there.

Fashion Inspiration – September Week 2

Fashion Inspiration – September Week 2

Having 90% of my clothing, shoes, and accessories boxed up is making me so antsy when it comes to my own style right now. I felt so incredibly drab when I went out to Fashion Night Out San Francisco with Michelle. Especially after seeing how cute everyone looked! I’m so anxious to try new things and get some life back into my style!

Fashion Inspiration – September Week 2

I love how the sequins dress up this otherwise conservative look. My inner prep will always love khaki.

Fashion Inspiration – September Week 2

Part of me is so so ready for fall layers.

Fashion Inspiration – September Week 2

After seeing Zooey Deschanel in My Idiot Brother, I’m really wanting to break out my vintage dresses and expand on that collection.

Fashion Inspiration – September Week 2

I have these leopard booties packed away in a box. I can’t wait to break them out and revive them this fall!

Fashion Inspiration – September Week 2

Stripes, a cardigan and bold nails are always a winning combination in my eyes.

Fashion Inspiration – August Week 3

Fashion Inspiration - August Week 3

This week I’m loving bright shades of coral, chunky jewelry (especially watches!), pale pink, blazers, and mary janes.

Fashion Inspiration - August Week 3

Coral is such a fun color. It’s not quite pink and not quite orange, and just adds a great pop of color to any look. I’m especially into coral nail polish.

Fashion Inspiration - August Week 3

I already have two watches. They are adorable and I love them both, but I want something that’s large and chunky and menswear inspired.

Fashion Inspiration - August Week 3

A white blazer is always in style. So are shades of pale pink and blush. Together, it’s a great combination.

Fashion Inspiration - August Week 3

I almost picked up a pair of patent platform mary janes a few weeks ago and am now totally kicking myself for passing them up. I’ve always been a sucker for them.
