EASY LIKE SUNDAY MORNING

My name is Erin, but everyone calls me Red and I like it that way. I'm a certified VLCE and Vegan Nutrition Specialist, colon hydrotherapist, fitness professional, public speaker, writer, consultant, kitchen wrangler, problem solver, and host of the popular vegan podcast Red Radio. I also co-founded The Seed in 2012, and continue to organize events across North America. By night I'm a nak Muay, runner, Bikram Yogini, and tattoo collector. I share my pad with two vegan dogs and two carnivorous cats… all rescued. I hail from Toronto, Canada but Brooklyn, NYC is home. I hustle. Hard. Try to keep up.

This is Banapple Gas. I met this little dude in 2004, soon after moving to Park Slope. He showed up on my back porch with the friendliest meow and the pinkest nose I'd ever seen. The intention was to get him neutered, make sure he was up to date with shots, socialize him a little, and find him a loving home. • Nearly 14 years and TEN apartments later, he's the grumpy old man of the house... and still Mama's boy. ♥️ • [Since I know you're wondering: Banapple Gas is a song by @yusufcatatevens about sniffing Banapple, a class-A illegal substance that contains traces of LSD. 🌈] • #latemondaypost #mcm #banapplegas #adoptdontshop #rescueismyfavoritebreed #catstevens #straycat #failedfoster #lsd #catlady #bestlifeever #ifreakingrock #yes #wokewarriorwitch #brooklyn #nyc #vegan #morefire #morelife #morelovenotless #thankyouforhelpingme #healthy #happy #wayup #2017 🐱🐱🐱

Shout out to my sister @ohriginails for flawlessly and consistently hooking me up in the lady-hands department. I didn't know this was gonna be a long-term relationship when it popped off, but I sure am glad I got stuck with this broad. 🤓 • Yes, I box with these. Yes, they're functional.

November 1st: World Vegan Day. • It's 2017, you have a wealth of information at your very fingertips. The facts are not hard to uncover. Whether or not you've adopted a vegan lifestyle, chances are you know the truth about your health and diseases of consumption, or you understand the food system in North America, or you're concerned about the environment and her massive suffering, or you're aware of the incredible cruelty and karmic disaster involved in using our animal friends and taking whatever we want in spite of them, or you can no longer ignore veganism's obvious intersection with the social issues for which you fight day in and out. • For those of you who have made the commitment to yourself, the planet, the animals: thank you. You're doing an amazing job; keep it up. Let me know how I can help you continue to thrive. • For the rest: You're out of excuses; it's time to do better. Please go vegan today, and let me know how I can help you make life-changing choices. Anyone can do it, and you'll never look back. • [📌 for the month of November, I'll be posting strictly vegan knowledge every #factsfriday.

"Nature loves courage. You make the commitment and nature will respond to that commitment by removing impossible obstacles. Dream the impossible dream and the world will not grind you under, it will lift you up. This is the trick. This is what all these teachers and philosophers who really counted, who really touched the alchemical gold, this is what they understood. This is the shamanic dance in the waterfall. This is how magic is done. By hurling yourself into the abyss and discovering it's a feather bed." ~ Terrence McKenna • This week: get to hurling. Samhain, full moon; the Universe is listening. Ask deliberately. 🌚 • #monday #asabovesobelow #consciousness #samhain #focus #choices #fullmoon #miracles #scorpioseason #views #bestlifeever #ifreakingrock #yes #wokewarriorwitch #brooklyn #nyc #vegan #morefire #morelife #morelovenotless #thankyouforhelpingme #healthy #happy #wayup #2017 🌥🌥🌥

One year ago today, this thing of ours began to feel really, really real. • Happy Anniversary, @meganstickel & @brad_stevens. Thanks for getting hitched, thanks for trusting me with feeding your loved ones, thanks for having a super sweet photobooth at your reception. Seems like y'all weren't the only ones making magic that night. ✨ • #happyanniversary #bradstickel #strongheartsveganpower #brooklynwedding #vegancatering #tattooedlady #nyadorned #chosenfamily #veganevent #longhairdontcare #prebabu #swoon #bestlifeever #ifreakingrock #yes #wokewarriorwitch #brooklyn #nyc #vegan #morefire #morelife #morelovenotless #thankyouforhelpingme #healthy #happy #wayup #2017 📸📸📸

A little Reggie Appreciation Post on this Tuesday night. Because he's just come so far. A few years of the right kind of love (plus a high nutrient vegan diet, a little CBD oil, and a whole lot of patience) really does work miracles, even on old, beat up mutts like this little guy right here. • [as featured on @_hotfingas' SnapChat last week during bathtime. While Basil thinks baths are a punishment, Reggie loves every second. I think it's all the warm love and attention. 💕] • #reggie #schnoodle #rescueismyfavoritebreed #adoptdontshop #Basil #myboys #chosenfamily #appreciationpost #furkids #fatboy #goodnightreggie #bestlifeever #ifreakingrock #yes #wokewarriorwitch #brooklyn #nyc #vegan #morefire #morelife #morelovenotless #thankyouforhelpingme #healthy #happy #wayup #2017 🛀🏻🛀🏻🛀🏻

Today this magnificent creature and I celebrate one year of undivided attention to each other, and ourselves. • There's only so much someone can share on social media; the incredible joy she brings to my life is certainly no secret, but the simple, beautiful truth lies in the moments Instagram never sees. I could wax poetic and pretend like it's some kinda miracle, but that's bullshit. This has been on it's way to us for a long, long time. • @_hotfingas...I love you mas. • #happyanniversary #lgbtqia #babu #iloveyou #truth #joy #myperson #manifestationtho #morethanayeartho #dontforgetaugust #queeraf #bednat #mas #bestlifeever #ifreakingrock #yes #wokewarriorwitch #brooklyn #nyc #vegan #morefire #morelife #morelovenotless #thankyouforhelpingme #healthy #happy #wayup #2017 💘💘💘
