About Me

Hi! I’m Amanda Spencer.

I am a single mom on a mission.

I have been a whole-food, plant-based vegan since 2019. When I became a single mom in 2020, I had to adjust to a much tighter budget – and that meant dramatically simplifying my grocery routine.

At the same time, I believe in my Girl Scout training of “leave no trace” and seek to practice sustainability in our lifestyle as much as makes sense for me and my family right now.

Here at Gentle Vine you will find tips to not just make your life more plant-based and eco-friendly, but also easier, simpler, and less stressful.

I’m not an influencer, I’m just a mom sharing what works for me.

You will not find the typical “influencer” vibe here – I do not support Amazon, Walmart, or Target. If I do share a link, it’s from a company I feel good about supporting and I’m sharing it because that product or service actually makes my life better in some way.

I believe true change comes from building communities, supporting small businesses, and living well with less.

I am excited to have you joining me in my journey!
