Most people know there is a link between hurting people and hurting animals. Someone who is comfortable hurting animals may be more likely to hurt a human. Want some proof – well, look at every serial killer movie you’ve ever seen. Or just read this article on domestic abuse and animal abuse. In a study [...]
I’ve made this recipe twice in the last two weeks. It’s so fast and yummy and can be made with the most basic ingredients. Basically, my husband and I were craving something sweet but we hadn’t been to the grocery store. So I looked through all my recipes to see what we could make, and [...]
Through all this Obama dog mania I’ve just been hoping for one thing – that the family would adopt a pup from a shelter. There are plenty of dogs at shelters that don’t shed and are great for kids with allergies. Obama didn’t exactly adopt from a shelter. Read below: The black dog — a [...]
I love when old news resurfaces and makes an even bigger impact the second time. Apparently in 2006, then Senetor Obama wrote a letter to PETA voicing his objections to the annual Canadian seal hunt. In his letter he says (as quoted in The Star – read the full article here): “I share your concerns [...]
I love browsing through shoes on Nimli. It’s a place where vegan shoes go to hang out by the dozens so I can check them out and decide if they are right for me. They carry Olsen Haus, Cri de Coeur, Neuaura and Melissa Shoes. Not too shabby a selection. And it’s not just their [...]

On Saturday morning at Whole Foods, I picked up some Vegenaise. Up until now I had always avoided it. It looked too much like the real thing, which frankly I always thought looked gross. All the same, it stared me down every time I went shopping beckoning me to try it. After years of actively [...]
This is a continuation of a blog from last week. You can view the first part here. My friend and I also discussed the Draize tests, as well as the LD 50 test. She said the Draize is probably going to be fazed out at her school – it’s cruel and more effective methods are [...]
For those who love fashion, W Magazine is one of the biggies. And right now they have an online feature on vegan accessories! Um. How cool! I love when trend setting mags dish on vegan designers. Especially since we’ve got such great ones. Olsen Haus, one of my faves makes the list. So did Mink [...]
A few weeks ago I had dinner with a long time friend (I’ve known her since I was 5). We like a lot of the same things, have a shared history having gone to school together from K – 12. And in 9th grade when my two best friends left for private school, she invited [...]
