My name is Jaimey and I live in Salt Lake City, UT. I love to play in nature, go on adventures, and keep myself as healthy as possible. To stay mentally and physically healthy, I play with my dog, fly fish, cook, craft, and spend time in the wild. I cook mostly vegan and love the challenge of finding creative alternatives to animal products. I like to make up my own things, so most of my sewing and cooking that I blog about are new pieces of art.
