TORONTO VEGETARIAN FESTIVAL.

Hey everyone!
Today's post is something a little different: it's going to be about my evening at the Toronto Vegetarian Festival! I know I'm going to get questions about whether I'm a vegetarian or not, but I already answered it here. To cut it short, I don't label myself as anything, but if I think back to the past 2 or so months, I don't think I've eaten more than a couple non-vegan things. It honestly comes naturally to me! I asked to get a media pass for the event so that I could legally take pictures and post them here for you guys (but honestly I just wanted a cool necklace lol). If you live in or around Toronto, the festival is going on Saturday and Sunday so you still have time! So if you're interested in learning about some of the vegetarian products I picked up, listen up :)

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.

Can you make a russian video about your acting experience?
I don't really plan on it. I definitely do not consider myself an experienced actor, and I don't want to be praised as one. I made a russian video about how to become an actor, and honestly the topic doesn't interest many russians as it seems because the industry is very different over there, and it's hard to get started.

What grade are you in? 
I'm going into the 12th grade, which is also the last year of high school in Ontario! Hopefully, with my homeschooling I'll be done school by winter time :)

What camera do you use?
As of February, I have been using a Canon T3i (600D). I started off using a 50mm 1.8 lens, realllly hated it, so now I have a Tamron 17-50mm 2.8 lens, which is great! My first videos and current vlogs are filmed with a point and shoot camera, the sony dsc-h20 (which is actually amazing quality!)

How do you edit your videos?
Handy imovie does it all! When I'm using more intense editing, I turn to Final Cut Pro, but I hate using it because it's so complex and I don't need all the functions usually. All of the programs I use are for apple computers only, sorry PC-ers!

How long have you been a vegan?
I'm actually not a vegan, or a vegetarian. I occasionally eat fish because of it's nutritional benefits and taste, and probably once in 4 months eat some chicken or turkey. I don't eat foods heavy in dairy because I have lactose deficiency/sensitivity, and I'm neutral about eggs. I haven't touched beef for probably 5 years, and I have never in my life eaten lamb, rabbit or any other "delicacy" meat. I first started wanting to be vegetarian when I was 11 years old after watching a film documenting how animals are killed for meat. My mom freaked out and made me eat pork that very night... it was quite traumatizing I'll admit. Since then I've fluctuated with being pescetarian every year, but only this year I was introduced to veganism, which is quite interesting and almost a "hobby" to me. The reason I refuse to label myself is because I believe a balanced diet is the best, but of course, I understand and respect the fact that limiting meat consumption does incredible things to the earth, animals, your skin, and of course your health! Raw vegan food is my favorite! The picture below is of a raw pad thai! The noodles are made from zucchini and kelp (kelp noodles are my addiction).


Who do you work as?
Since last year, I've worked as a background actor, but this has never been a steady income and I've kind of dropped it recently. Right now I'm a YouTube partner, blogger, and as of recently, I've been doing acting jobs (which pay way more than youtube and blogging combined).


Do you really play the guitar?
Well, kind of. I know the basic chords, and I know how to play a song if you give me the chords, but I don't know the name of each string and technical stuff like that.

DOWNTOWN LOVIN, WHEN THE MOON COMIN

Can we get a hallelujah that it’s warm enough to ditch the pants and whip out the dresses and skirts? I’m a pant hater, let’s be honest. Today I wore this gorgeous green dress (that I stole from my mom), with a nude sweater on top and my jeffrey campbell rumble boots! I planned the outfit around the boots, but when I went out of the house and saw my reflection, I immediately turned around and went back home to change because I realized I looked like I was going on a hot date or to a wedding. In reality, I was going downtown with my friend Julia. I’m also taking/dragging everyone to my favourite resturant in Toronto called Rawlicous, where everything is vegan and raw… and AMAZING. 
Iphone shots for you today, sorry for that, but nonetheless I hope you enjoy!
