Meet the GlowstarLine Evelin, @my_vegan_lyfe

Why did you launch @my_vegan_lyfe?

It actually started as my private profile with pictures of my animals, events, food, and jewelry. Two years ago I combined the animal and food part posting pictures of my dog, horse and daily vegan meals.

I really love the creative part of cooking and plating it all up as pretty as possible. That’s why I grow my own edible flowers on the balcony.

How would you describe your feed?

It’s colourful and lively. I post a lot of green stuff, pretty smoothie bowls, flowers and animal pictures.

I’m an animal lover, you know! Go vegan.

What are you learning from your journey?

Not to try and convince people to give up their traditional way of eating. If people show an interest in my vegan life I will talk and write about it for hours, but it’s really impossible to turn over somebody who doesn’t care.

What is the mission of @my_vegan_lyfe?

I hope to inspire others to choose more vegetables and to eat less dairy, meat, and fish. I want to let them know that you can be vegan and still eat interesting, tasty food.

I sometimes post facts about how unhealthy it is to eat dairy and meat and how bad for the planet it is, but I’m always careful to keep it light. People are allowed to believe and eat what they want. I can only hope that a few of my followers will take the leap and become vegan – or at least eat more greens.

Why did you decide to collaborate with Glowcation?

It was a no-brainer for me!

Obviously, the site is beautiful and inspirational to look at and read. But it’s also useful for plant-based eaters who want to find great places in foreign cities without having to go through the bad ones first. I want to help do that.
