Hey guys! I took a little break from blogging to focus on the crazy college admissions process throughout my summer. Coincidentally, I visited Wake Forest this past week and of course, had to explore the plant based options nearby. Hope you enjoy!
Lil Dipper
Lil Dipper was a soft serve place in the heart of Winston Salem. It was my first time trying dairy free soft serve! Lil Dipper offers you the option to chose to choose from tons of sauces and toppings, but I knew I had to choose fruity pebbles. Overall, the vegan ice cream was pretty good. It didn't have the coconut taste some people dislike, however it was a bit icey. I loved the fact that they offered a vegan cone too!

Village Juice is a staple for salads, toasts, smoothie bowls, juices, wraps, and more. Although there are an abundance of locations, we chose to go to the one in downtown Winston Salem. This location couldn't be better, with a indoor cycling place right next door! I decided to get the avocado toast and the mocha nana smoothie (almond milk, cold brew, banana, date, raw cacao). Although village juice's smoothies have mixed reviews online, my smoothie was creamy and filling. The main thing that stood out to me about the avocado toast was the thick sliced bread and heavily loaded avocado. Often times juiceries leave me hungry, but village juice satisfied all my hunger! My friend Kate got the nut butter and banana toast and the green coco smoothie (coconut milk, banana, mango, cucumber, spinach, kale mint). She loved it! Better yet, village juice has a location on campus at WFU!

As a vegan, authentic Indian restaurants are always something I look out to try as they almost always have a plant-based menu, or are willing to make alterations. Although Nawab was located in a rather quiet and uninteresting area, the food was fantastic. The staff was careful to make all the vegan options clear and they were made beautifully! As an appetizer we got cauliflower and samosas. For my main dish I got vegetable vindaloo.

On our way home from WFU, we stopped by the only vegan donut place I know - Sugar Shack in Richmond, VA. This place is seriously ADDICTING. I honestly am not one to have a huge sweet tooth, but donuts are something I have only eaten twice in my (almost) 2.5 years of veganism. They also serve vegan hot dogs, hamburgers, and milkshakes (although I have never tried any of them). If you are ever in Richmond , I highly recommend indulging in a treat from here!

I genuinely appreciate the way you simplify complex concepts into something easily comprehensible. This post was incredibly helpful. link
Because I never got to know her, I link don’t know much about the watch itself. link I took it to a local watch shop when I first got it a few years ago to get it fixed and was told it was real, but if I’m being 100 percent honest, whether it’s real or fake means nothing to me. In that sense, it might as well be a Seiko or a Casio. It just so happens that I think it’s stunningly beautiful and link is to my taste.
The Polarouter link debuted in '54 link with link the caliber 138 SS bumper movement, which had been introduced in 1948 and used throughout Universal Genève's entire line. The caliber ran at 18,000 vph and utilized a weighted "bumper" that oscillated, winding the watch in one direction. At 28mm with minimal finishing, it's rather unimpressive.
Still, most of the tweaks to the new Française seem like small improvements link that will be appreciated on wrist more readily link than in pictures, so I'm excited to get hands-on link with the new Française soon. Stay tuned for a Hands-On of the new Tank Française in the coming weeks.
The added strap is a great way to get the look of a stack (bracelets layered with watches) without any fear of scratching. Nothing about this particular option in the link DolceVita X YVY screams HORSES! but if you were to explain the connection link to someone they could easily make the leap. And link if you are in the market for a watch that screams HORSES! the black leather strap with grommets will certainly holler on your behalf.
