Bio
Hello and welcome to The Vegan Marine! A little about myself, I'm originally from Saginaw, Michigan and lived all over Michigan until deciding to join the U.S. Marine Corps at 19 years old. I spent 4 years in the Marines with 3 deployments to Iraq and then moved to St Petersburg, Florida when I got out of the Marines. My mother had moved to Florida a year after I enlisted and I loved visiting her in Florida. No snow, always sunny and gorgeous with beautiful beaches that have white sand and palm trees! What is not to love?
I've been vegan since June 24th, 2014 for the animals, environment and my health. It wasn't until after becoming vegan that I really thought about my health. I had tried many different diets before for weight loss, but never focused on my health, which had been declining. I started seeing videos on Facebook of various vegans and that is when I first heard about the raw lifestyle. I was amazed and have had a huge struggle with being fully raw. I, however, am not getting any younger and no one else is going to take care of me. Raw veganism has given me health, energy, mental clarity and even helps my nails which I could never get to grow properly! They just peeled and broke so short that it hurt. I had tried vitamins and diets recommended by doctors to help my health, and yes, my nails. Haha!
I hope that my blog can encourage others to make healthier choices. Not just for the animals or the environment, but also for yourself, because you only get one you.
With Love,
