Do you love a chocolate fix but don’t always want to have all the sugar and extras added to it? Lately, I’ve been eating cacao nibs. Tiny little chocolatey crunchy bits of cacao – the substance that chocolate is made from. It’s not that great on it’s own. It’s a little bitter, and a little [...]
While I’ll admit I’m a bit opposed to paying $75 for a pair of Keds, I still have to share these adorable organic loomstate sneakers with you. They are expensive but the pricetag includes environmentally friendly features. These shoes (in a variety of colors and designs) are sold exclusively at Barneys. Here is the info: [...]
I’ll start this review by saying, if you haven’t seen this film yet, you should make it a priority to see it. I wasn’t sure if I was going to. I was worried about how graphic it would be, and how I would feel leaving the theatre. Mostly I was afraid about how discouraged I [...]
On the airplane to Bermuda I flipped through Sky Magazine on Delta. I was bored and didn’t feel like reading my book. As I’m nearing the end and perusing the useless object section I come across “Hitch Critters.” As you can see from the picture, it’s a little toy of a deer that goes on [...]
There is a controversy surrounding PCRM’s new poster (to your right) that says, “President Obama’s daughters get healthy school lunches. Why don’t I?” The White House argues that the White House children are off limits. They called up PCRM and said the following to Neil Barnard (the head of the org). You can read the [...]
Everyone is talking about the film Julie and Julia. And because I needed a feel good pick me up yesterday, and it was getting such great reviews, my husband and I went to see a matinee. Granted, I did have a warning from my dad that there are many many many dead animals. I thought, [...]
For the last 6 days, I’ve been on holiday in Bermuda. Each morning my husband and I go to the beach, we swim in beautiful clear blue water, we chat to strangers and make friends. It’s been a fantastic trip… Except one thing. The island has very few vegetarian options. And pretty much no vegan [...]
It’s August now. We should start thinking about practical things. Or, those of us who are going back to school should at least. Which does not include me! For the first time in years – I am done with school. MFA in hand. Well, this isn’t really about me. It’s about a good messenger bag [...]
Today, we’re going to talk about Matt and Nat. Besides for being made in China (which frankly really of annoys me about Matt and Nat) I’m a big fan of their purses. However, I could never afford one – well I could. But I would never ever spend $300 on a purse. It just isn’t [...]
I happen to think LeSportsac bags are great. They have adorable patterns, are totally functional and are sold in major department stores – not just vegan specialty stores. All of their products are made from nylon. No leather to be found. I just found out about the LeSportsac Specials website that offers all of their [...]
