Come one, come all! Where? The fabulous charity clothing swap and vegan bake sale happening in NYC on May 11th. Spring is here and you’ve got closets to clean out. But if you’re anything like me, you like to replace that extra room you’ve cleared with something fun and new. New to you anyway. [...]
Some of you may remember a few weeks ago I posted about an independent film shooting in Connecticut called Rising Star. They said that if enough people chimed in, they would make their lead female character a vegan. And tons of people did! So Alyza will be a vegan in the film. Thanks to everyone [...]
From 9/11 – 9/15, you can make an appointment to get your own Vaute Couture vegan coat. Either from last winter or from the brand spanking new line. And all at amazing prices (55% off and then some). It’s taking place at Moo Shoes, so yes, you can just show up. But making an appointment [...]

I’ve had tofu scrambles before, but nothing could prepare me for [...]
Editor’s note: Please welcome guest blogger Laura Orban to Livin Veg! How many of us don’t eat meat, but allow others to eat meat in our home? How many of us don’t eat it but serve it to family and friends? Being in the veg minority among my loved ones, that was exactly what I [...]
I’m the sustainability planner for an independent film shooting in Hartford, CT this October. It’s called Rising Star and it’s going to be fantastic. What’s even more fantastic is that the director has said that he will make the lead female character, Alyza, a vegetarian or vegan if he hears enough voices telling him to! [...]
Last night I started reading about a woman who was concerned about dioxins, a hazardous chemical that is created as a byproduct of other chemical mixtures. What exactly do dioxins do?
