Torrey DeVitto (TD): I have been spending time at my farm with my fiance and all the animals. Not working has also allowed me a lot more family time that I have been taking advantage of. A big one has been spending extra time with my 2 1/2-year-old niece, Iya.

TD: I love vegan chai lattes and pumpkin pie. I could eat an entire vegan pumpkin pie in one sitting.

TD: I found this delicious vegan corn casserole online about two years ago that has become a staple! I also love making my vegan stuffing and cranberry sauce. My grandma said its the best cranberry sauce she has ever had. Im taking that as my Thanksgiving trophy!

TD: Just be casual and have fun with it! The easier you feel to express yourself about what you [are] comfortable eating and what you [arent], the easier people feel around you!

TD: Cozy sweats are a must! Thickly layered overalls for the mornings cleaning the goat stalls are another fall fashion must for me. They might not be for everyone, but for me out here, theyre a big hit! I love a good pair of boots to wear with jeans and scarves. For me, the fall is all about layering and looking cozy while still fashionable.

TD: Elina Organics [vegan-friendly] face products. Because they are so well made and really, really work. I swear by her products!
