Thanksgiving was a great success. We ate amazing food – everything from okra to sweet potatoes to stuffing. I even had a beet and avocado salad as a preview. And man. Everything was great. The Celebration Roast from Field Roast was fantastic. With my mom’s home made cranberry sauce, life yesterday was perfect. Everything on [...]
Today is pretty bittersweet, but I wish you all a very happy Thanksgiving. Just know that because of your compassion, fewer animals died today. Together, we can make a difference. And we are. Just by thinking of others outside the human species. Enjoy your food and family. I wish you a day free of family [...]

Safari users have been trapped for some time on September 24th here at Swanky Veg. You may have thought Swanky Veg was on vacation or worse – had nothing new to post. The simple fact is that a tool we had put in place to prevent the site from crashing, if a high number of [...]
Here are some fantastic organic cotton intimate sets for women. The first three are obviously more for a partner. The fourth would work as a nice give for a friend. Hint to your significant other by sending them links or showing them how cute these items are. I especially love the blue. Although the brown [...]
This year I’m pretty lucky. I’m spending Thanksgiving with my parents, brother, and a vegan friend. My mom, friend, and I will eat a vegan meal. My dad and brother will share a free range small bird from Whole Foods. Of course I’d prefer that it was all vegan, but I feel a little bit [...]
