Gift Guide 2014 with This Rawesome Vegan
Vancouver-based Emily von Euw woke up one day and decided to change her life. She became a vegan, got into raw food, and now spreads the healthy word on her blog, This Rawsome Vegan Life. She’s also published two books: Rawsome Vegan Baking and 100 Best Juices, Smoothies & Healthy Snacks. Currently a student at Canada’s Simon Fraser University majoring in history, von Euw dreams of one day having a small farm in Costa Rica or Mexico. With a pet pig. Below, she shares her holiday gift picks with Yahoo Food.
