#30DaysRawVegan

Bonjour my loves!



I had a strong urge to start off my summer with a challenge I've never done before. I wanted to push myself mentally and see what it's like to live a fully Raw Vegan lifestyle. Although I currently live a vegan lifestyle, I will say the temptations are running high when having to make lunch and dinner for my family. There's nothing more comforting than the feeling of healthy WARM goodness traveling down your esophagus! I will say, part of my inspiration for taking on the challenge was my pregnancy days where I would go all day and only eat fresh watermelon. Not so bad right? Especially on a hot summer day. The main thing I want to take away from this 30 day lifestyle change is mental discipline and a new found love for raw vegetables. I want to experience earths natural goodness in it's purest raw form. It's easy to eat fresh fruit and appreciate the taste, but raw vegetables, thats another story. 


Another reason why I want to take 30 days to only eat Raw fruits and vegetables is to detox my body. Yes I eat relatively healthy, but there are still a lot of chemicals in some of the things I eat. I'm hoping that taking on this challenge I will cleanse my body without depriving it of all the nutrients I need, while gaining mental clarity. Also, I still plan to workout and continue my daily fitness routine so a water fast, or juice cleanse just will not do at the moment (although I do plan to commit to both in the near future). If you guys have any cool recipes or want to join my #30DaysRawVegan lifestyle challenge feel free to let me know how it goes in the comments and share the love!

Welcome to Shakhor Noir

Bonjour to all and welcome to Shakhor Noir!



I created Shakhor Noir in hopes of having a creative platform to showcase my love for visual styling, plant-based recipes, health and fitness, simple beauty diys, holistic remedies, and natural haircare. 
Who is Shakhor Noir? Well, I'm a 24 year old plant-based wife and mother of two, currently living in the Los Angeles area. Living as a young working-class creative and soon approaching quarter-life club member I recently had a life crisis... I realized I've been living a dull and creatively unfulfilling life. So I created this blog to bring some light to my life and whoever is willing to receive. Since I can remember I've always had a deep love for fashion and creating new things, my style speaks just as loud as my personality and I can only hope to inspire you to find your personal style and let it speak for you! I'm not perfect, my skin breaks out and I get hyper pigmentation #MelaninProblems, but I'm on the hunt to find the best holistic remedies and simple fresh beauty hacks that give great results, so why not come along for the ride, learn something new, or share something that works for you in the comments. I know all my moms out there know it isn't the easiest thing to bounce back after having your baby, and trust me I'm on my second bounce back, 10 months later and I'm still working hard to get to where I want to be. I hope that sharing my journey will uplift whoever needs it, just know we all have to start somewhere. Well, that about sums it up. I'm just a woman who wants to create something that can help you in any aspect in life. I hope you enjoy and welcome to Shakhor Noir!
