One thing I take from 2017 is the realisation that I don't need to be perfect or be the person society and my "friends" pressure me to be. I gained so much self confidence this year which made it so much easier for me to achieve my goals. This was also the year I found out how amazing veganism is (been vegetarian for 10 years) and I'm so excited to make my school internship at a organization for veganism here in Berlin. Thanks for all the fun and knowledge you provided me this year, Caitlin! Have a great Christmas đČ
I just got cacao nibs over the weekend for the first time and am already OBSESSED. I put them on oatmeal, smoothies, pancakes, and rice cakes that have nut butter, cinnamon, and a drizzle of maple syrup on them alsođ€đŒđ€đŒđđŒđđŒđ đ đ .
My favorite things were activities I did like swing dancing and rock climbing. Really appreciated finding activities that were not only fun, but that I learned from and that helped increase my physical activity as well.
Some of my favorite moments of 2017 were: going to America to visit a friend and going to Japan with her, doing the yoga teacher training and being able to connect with like-minded people! Btw, I love this favorites video, it's like a little recap of your 2017. So much happened, so much growth :) Happy Holidays Caitlin
You are my life goals Caitlin!!! Thank you for being so honest about leaving grad school and following your passions, it's so amazing to see you where you are now. â€ïž
đđ when you said you were wearing TOMS before everyone knew about them, ME TOO! All my friends thought I was wearing slippers...and now of course they all love them.
Jessica Murnane is my cousin! I really admire her too! She is one of the strongest, most creative, and most dedicated women I know. You are one of my favorite CZcamsrs to be sure. You have such poise for such a young woman and I love how candid you are in your videos. I really appreciate your authentic, positive, and inclusive approach to the vegan lifestyle. Hope 2018 is treating you well so far. Looking forward to more videos!
Youâre absolutely amazing! As an anorexic itâs really inspiring to see someone share their joy for food and not shame anything or judge other people based on what they eat. Itâs been interpreted into me that carbs (for example) are bad for you but you disprove that everytime I watch your videos and also that you shouldnât feel guilty to treat yourself! Thank you so much, youâre a huge inspiration to me!
Some of my fave 2017 moments were definitely surviving my first semester of grad school (getting an MFA in creative writing), having a student in my English 101 college class thank me for an assignment I gave them and explain how it changed his view of writing, and spending a lot of R&R time with my family for the holidays!
So excited for you to move in with your friends! Also, I just wanted to say all the behind the scenes stuff you've been showing lately makes me realize how much work you put into your content. It really shows in the quality and flow of your videos :)
Oh my gosh, why did I get emotional when you said you were going to be living Jasmine and Chris soon?! I think it's beautiful the kind of friendships social media can create!!! â€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž
I LOVE GREAT SAGE!!! I seriously have never eaten a single thing there that I didn't like. One time I had a small allergic reaction and they were able to give me a list of every. single. ingredient in the dish down to the spices so I could figure out what had caused the reaction. Such an amazing place.
Wait youâre from MD?! Me too! I visited Miami this past month and loved the vegan food options! I went to Holy Vegan 2x in 4 days because they are so delicious!!
Caitlin I have that alarm clock, I bought it 3 years ago and it had changed my life! I wake up to the forest sounds and gradual light and itâs amazing!!
Look at you being a social influencer đYou totally killed 2017! You inspire me to help & give back and to not make any more excuses! I hope my 2018 will be as good as 2017 was for you! Happy holidays :)
my favorite thing from 2017 was going completely vegan- finally! i definitely donât eat the most healthy or well balanced diet all of the time (discovering all of the vegan junk food has been a fun ride) but i feel so much better đđ± youâve definitely been a huge inspiration to me in this journey so thank you!!
My favourite this year is actually the opposite of yours, but it is that I haven't quit school. I have always struggled with being in a class with people because of my anxiety, but have always LOVED (and been quite good at) learning. Last year I decided to study from home, and next year I will finaly be done! I have a record with starting school and maxium lasting half a year, but I didn't quit AND I'M SO PROUD OF MYSELF! Aaaand I got my two kitties which is also a favourite, lol
One of my favorites of 2017 is your channel! Iâve tried a lot of your recommendations and theyâve become some favorites like Health Ade and the greens powder. Thanks for sharing your favorites! Definitely some new things for me to try here, I want to try the tea next and I also have to make a trip to LA to try some of those restaurants since I donât live too far.
We have the rishi latte concentrate at my job! I canât drink it with milk but can totally do it with honey and hot water in moderation :) also cacao nibs are bae
So happy that your decision to make a Career out of what you Love doing the most is working for you Caitlin. You are so Creative and your Work Ethic is commendable. Continue broadening your life experiences and thanks for exposing us to Wonderful; Recipes, Prods and Perspectives. I'm WFPB but I get great ideas from you about food and I substitute accordingly. Asking God to Bless you in a Big Way in 2018!!!
This is my favorite video you've done! I now have the tea, tahini, cacao nibs AND the alarm clock in my amazon cart! My favorite find of 2017 was Kalor Superfood nut butters. The cherry one and blueberry one are my favorites.
It would be amazing to see you do a video with Alyse from raw alignment!!! You both seem to be passionate about consuming raw veggies, less processed oils and more greens!
quick question about the raw caco nibs. i like how they taste and the bitterness too. any tips on how to change the texture of them though...they're a little harder than i would like lol
Arctic heat essential oil was my favorite thing of 2017! All natural and kind of reminds me of gum that clears your sinus, like a tasty vicks maybe? Idk best $4 purchase of the year by far lol
Great Sage đđ I'm still so shook that you're from the same area in Maryland as I am. Also modern love is right near my apt in Brooklyn AHH it's so amazing!!!
I think this is my first time commenting! But great job this year! Love love love your content! Also supprised you did not mention your air fryer! Girl u sold me on it I am getting myself one as a late christmas gift! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! All the way from Jamaica!
I agree that it is sour! I actually preferred it as a savory condiment for salads etc and didn't repurchase after the first tub. For "breakfast" type yogurts I MUCH prefer either the So Delicious coconut yogurts or any of the Kite Hill flavors :)
My 2017 favourite is Caitlin Shoemaker
Ally Sheehan - I agreee!
omg đâ€ïž love you, Ally!
I opened up this video and I don't know why but you look extra extra gorgeous today
aw! How sweet of you to say :)
Right?!
Where's the nutritional yeast thooo
hahaha true! I guess I was thinking more of product that I discovered / became SUPER obsessed with in 2017! Nooch has always been bae hehe
for some reason, i thought she was going to mention potatoes as one of her faves lol

I'm so excited for you to live with Jasmine and Chris! I almost feel as if it's me who's making the change hahaha

Love this! Thank u for sharing đ
Terrific tips, thanks!:)
7:44 âĄ
i wanted to buy your ebook but paypal doesn't work. đą
LOVE YOUR CHANNEL â€ïž
Not a big fan of the cashew yogurt. It taste too soury in my opinion. I do however love the strawberry and blueberry flavors.
I agree that it is sour! I actually preferred it as a savory condiment for salads etc and didn't repurchase after the first tub. For "breakfast" type yogurts I MUCH prefer either the So Delicious coconut yogurts or any of the Kite Hill flavors :)
Are those the vegan Toms? Are they comfy?
yes and yes!
Go Maryland! đŠ
Where's the kombucha? đ
That shirt u designed is your profile picđ±
I love your vibe.. so chillđâ€ïž
Ugh! Itâs sucks being a vegan when you are allergic to cashews!
Emma Ito âsimply charâ on here is vegan and allergic to cashews! she even has a ebook of yummy recipes!
rachaelxss thank you!
