About Me

 About me – About this blog – and what’s here for you!

Hi! I’m Angel McNall, the author and photographer behind High Vibe Lifestyle! This blog was originally called “Cheftographer”, as it blended two of my favorite passions, cooking healthy, vegan/GF foods, and photography. However, life lead me in a different direction, and I’ve decided to rename the blog and take it in a little bit of a different direction… don’t worry, it’s still going to be your go-to place for super yummy, family friendly, whole foods, plant based recipes!

In addition to great recipes, we’re also going to be talking about how to live your most vibrant, high vibe life… because true health is a whole picture. It’s definitely what you eat, but it’s also how you move your body, what you believe, how you feel emotionally, and how much you allow yourself to dream and create the life you really want! So we’re going to talk about tools for better health, we’re going to savor delicious, health supporting recipes, we’re going to talk about stress relief, and we’re going to dream together! Let’s dream about travel, and gardening, and look at pretty things! Doesn’t that sound fun?! If so, then make sure you stay connected via social media and my mailing list, so we can hang together!

About Me:

I’m a mom of 2 boys (currently 9 &16), and I’ve been married to my husband for 24 years. I have pink hair, I love photography, cooking, music (metal, country, rock and big band), yoga, roller skating, concert going, hiking, and gardening. For the last 2 years, I’ve been traveling around the United States with my family in our 5th wheel RV, exploring national parks, small towns, cities, vegan eats, and photographing everything along the way! (See my photography here.)

As we’ve been traveling, I’ve been working as a health coach and essential oil educator. I love helping people get healthy, with their diet, and using plant based medicine! It’s been incredible, and I love it! I have a wonderful tribe of people who are on a plant based health journey, and we connect on FB: Click here to join us! …and a great team of women that I work with as well! (Contact me to learn more about how to work with me).

Before I worked as an essential oil educator, I worked in the Natural Products industry for over 15 years. I taught vegan cooking classes at community centers and hospitals, worked with clients in their homes, and developed my own line of plant based dairy alternatives that became a national brand!

In 2012, I was diagnosed with a serious health condition that altered the path of my life. It caused me to take a deeper look at my lifestyle (too stressful), my diet (I was suddenly allergic to things I wasn’t allergic to before.. thanks leaky gut!), and I also needed to examine some stuff that I’d been carrying around emotionally for a long time! Needless to say, I had to make a lot of changes!

I had taught sooo many people how to change their diets, but now I had to make a radical shift in my own, and it wasn’t easy at first, but it forced me to learn a lot of new things, and that’s always a good thing! I sold my former business, and looked for something that was less stress and more satisfying. I looked for natural solutions to my health issues, and found them in diet, supplements and essential oils… and I learned how to support my body’s healing process, combining conventional and alternative methods. I explored a lot of emotional healing techniques and faced some difficult things. That journey is one that I will forever be on, as we are all eternal beings and growth is an ongoing process! And finally, my hubby and I decided to kick ‘normal’ to the curb and follow a dream that was over 20 years in the making!

None of these changes were easy. They all required sacrifice and perseverance, and they were all 100% worth it. This blog is a collection of things that inspire me to live a High Vibe Lifestyle, and my hope is that it inspires you as well! Drop me a note to say Hi and definitely connect with me on social media so we can inspire each other!
