Today marks the 4th birthday of the blog! And with each passing year, it has definitely morphed into something more distinct and more confident. This year certainly took a big turn with a name change that really reflects where I am in my little vegan life.
VEGAN DERBY CAT PARTY .com!
Ah derby… Derby has certainly taken over my life in the last 5 months, and I am completely, unapologetically in love with it. CameraPhoneVegan.com served me well for three years as a jumping off point, but the new focus has lead to a clearer idea of what I want to write about. (When I actually have the time!) I am happy to report I will soon have a nice collection of vegan skates! Our local skate shop, Fast Girl Skates, was having a 20% off sale to mark their store anniversary (which is today, same as my blog!) so I got to order myself some nice microfiber boots that I’ll be switching my awesome plates over to, and I’ll also be getting a cheapie pair to skate in outdoors this summer! Yay! 🙂
Moving to Seattle has proved to be a perfect decision for us too. I miss my family terribly at times, but we’ve really found a place that offers us so much, including a sense of fitting in that we never had in Florida. We’re completely at ease with the seasons, the mild city life, and interesting, liberal, artsy minded folks. Oh and the food, we are very, very lucky to live in a city with so much delicious vegan food! (That delivers no less!)
Anyway, thanks for reading! More vegan food, derby, and cats to surely come!

The Seattle move has proven to be incredible so far. I was very fortunate to have a built in friends network when I got here thanks to the online vegan community, as well as a couple other friends that I knew from years before in Florida. As spring is starting to warm up Seattle slightly, I’m really looking forward to going out and exploring more in this amazing state. The battle so far for me has been to stay slim in this city filled with so much amazing vegan food that’s so close by, much like it was in NY, but I’m okay with that battle 🙂
