Two Years

Posted on January 17, 2022 by Adrienne Shubin

My husband, Bill and I began changing our lives two years ago today. I wrote about how we quit drinking alcohol in this post from 2020.  During the last two years, we’ve lost 150 pounds of fat between the two of us, we’ve skipped 730 hangovers, and we are so proud of ourselves. We proved…

Every Day Habits: Crudités

Posted on January 11, 2022 by Adrienne Shubin

Crudités is a fancy French word for a plate of various raw vegetables cut up and usually served with some sort of dip or sauce. Crudités have been my go-to dish to take to potlucks or to serve to guests before a dinner party for many years. It didn’t occur to me to eat crudités…

Our Plant Based Lifestyle: Easy and Tasty Recipes

Posted on January 7, 2022 by Adrienne Shubin

In my last post about our plant based lifestyle, I mentioned I would write about the health benefits we’ve experienced being plant based, things to watch out for, my favorite cookbooks and a few easy recipes if you’re just starting out or want a quick meal. Once I dug in, I realized that is too…

Minimalism Game 2022 Update

Posted on January 4, 2022 by Adrienne Shubin

In a previous post about resolutions, I mentioned I am once again taking on the Minimalism Game. How It’s Going  I got a huge head start on my game! As of today, I have gotten rid of over 300 things. Since I was ahead of the game, literally and figuratively, I created a list with…

Our Plant Based Lifestyle: Transitioning to Plant Based

Posted on January 2, 2022January 2, 2022 by Adrienne Shubin

In my previous post about how my husband and I came to the plant based lifestyle, I wrote about our plan to first give up beef, pork and lamb (four-legged animals) for 30-days, then give up poultry (two-legged) for the next 30-days and so on until we were entirely plant based. We ended up skipping…

Looking Back at 2021

Posted on December 31, 2021 by Adrienne Shubin

It’s the last day of 2021 so I’m taking a moment to take a look back at an eventful year. I had lots of excitement in early 2021: being in an article on CNN’s website, sharing – in a very small way – the cover of Woman’s World Magazine with Dolly Parton and being interviewed…

Our Plant Based Lifestyle: How It Began

Posted on December 30, 2021December 30, 2021 by Adrienne Shubin

We used to eat a lot of meat. We would either have beef, pork or chicken every night of the week. Once in a while, we would have fish. On top of dinners, most of our lunches included deli meat, sliced chicken or tuna and always cheese. It was a rarity for us to have…

The Pump is Primed!

Posted on December 28, 2021 by Adrienne Shubin

We have just four days until a new year begins. Even if you don’t make a list of resolutions, my guess is you’re at least thinking about a change or two you’d like to make in 2022. It’s hard not to! If you’re like me, your change pump is primed. Let’s take advantage of that!…

Change Your Midlife

Posted on December 22, 2021December 22, 2021 by Adrienne Shubin

Welcome to Change Your Midlife! Since 2010, I’ve had some iteration of The Rich Life. I started with The Rich Life (on a budget), which eventually  became The Rich Life in Wine Country. I loved blogging and I was really into it. It gave me a way to be creative, interact with and meet women…

Drive Your Own Change Bus: Step Four

We’ve come to the last step in my Drive Your Own Change Bus series. However, this isn’t the last step in creating change. Change is something that continues to grow and evolve and challenge you. I am nearly two years without alcohol in my life and I am still finding new revelations about it and…
