A Reminder From a Mylkmaid

A Reminder From a Mylkmaid

This is your reminder to get your pre-orders in by noon Wednesday!
My day started with a mantra that came from the ethers… "energy flows where attention goes." I received a different message yesterday…"the quality of your thoughts informs the quality of your life." 
I'm not sure of the origins of these mystical whispers, but I am grateful. I needed the reminders.

Why I Don't Make Oat Milk

Why I Don't Make Oat Milk

Early last week I was at Costco picking up some basics and I stumbled upon Califia Farm's Pumpkin Spice Oat Milk beverage. I got a little mad when I read the nutrition facts panel and filmed a quick video, which I posted to Instagram. 

Everyone always asks me why I don't make oat milk. I've been reluctant to write about it and rain on everyone's parade because oat milk seems like such a good choice for both human health and for the environment, but in my opinion, it's not. Keep in mind, I'm not a nutritionist, an MD or a...
