New Vegan Recipe Finder iPhone App

VEGdaily — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 13:03:32 +0000

The new Vegan Recipe Finder app for the iPhone from VegWeb.com is just about the greatest thing since vegan marshmallows. It puts 13,000+ recipes in the palm of your hand, which is basically the equivalent of carting all your cookbooks around in your pocket, only a lot lighter. And cuter too! Have you seen this thing?

Redhanded Computer Bag

VEGdaily — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 02:38:59 +0000

Getting caught with one of these sleek bags is no crime. This line of sustainable, vegan computer/ briefcase bags are made in the You-Ess-Ay! They’re sweatshop-free, made with faux-leathers from non-PVC, VOC-free compounds of polyurethane, cotton, and cellulose (more quickly biodegradable), and utilitarian with some excellent features.

Product Review! Brad’s Raw Chips

VEGdaily — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 11:17:43 +0000

These delicious treats were a gift from the kind folks at Brad’s Raw Chips, who agreed to send me some of their flavors to sample. Thank you, Brad & Co.!

When I first spotted these chips online, they seemed to look a whole lot like the juice pulp crackers I make at home. I love those guys, but the thing is, my schedule hasn’t allowed me to juice consistently for months now (it’s pretty much a weekends only treat), and with the lack of juicing comes a lack of juice pulp with which to make crackers, falafel, etc. Brad’s Chips seem to be made just like my juice pulp crackers are made: veggies, flaxseed, salt, pepper — simple! (Brad adds some buckwheat flour). And Brad himself has a very inspiring story, from SAD diet to raw. You can imagine how excited I was to get these guys in the mail!

The Absolute Best All-Natural Deodorants

VEGdaily — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 01:23:28 +0000

Traditional deodorants are overflowing with horribly toxic ingredients like aluminum (linked to breast cancer and Alzheimer’s), Parabens, PEGs, petrochemicals, and synthetics. When applied liberally every single day, you can imagine what the buildup of these chemicals do to your body as you grow older.

But the truth is, nobody likes to be the smelly person in the room. Although it requires slightly more work it is very possible to smell great while remaining toxin-free.

What Is The True Price Of Cheap Clothing (Part 1)

VEGdaily — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 15:11:23 +0000

Lately I have been having an internal conflict about certain products that I regularly suggest as “cruelty-free” options for women on a budget. This consists of clothes, shoes and accessories from chain stores such as Forever 21, H&M, Target and other corporations that offer hoards of clothes for incredibly affordable prices. Although these products are technically vegan, it is more of an accidental side effect of cheap mass production. Sure $20 shoes are wonderful for our wallets but what effect do they have on the rest of the world?

Vaute Couture Tanks – A Summer Must-Have

VEGdaily — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 15:01:12 +0000

On July 4th I had the pleasure of hanging out with Leanne Mai-Ly Hilgart, the fabulous mind and soul behind Vaute Couture. We were talking about her designs and I couldn’t help but fawn over her line of tees. I have the “For the love of dog, adopt!” tee and have been waiting to buy one of the new tanks that came out in May. These were featured in Marie Claire, are organic and have either a bunny or a sheep on the front. So perfect for summer to keep cool and keep animals close to your heart. If you are more into message tees, she also has tanks that say, “let’s widen the circle” and “the life of a lamb.”

The Best Vegan Lip Glosses & How To Make Your Own

VEGdaily — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 21:35:51 +0000

You know you’re addicted. I have been hooked on the stuff since I was about 12. A few hours without it leaves lips dry, cracked and yearning for more. It is a common epidemic, and most of us struggle with it every day. Lip gloss addiction is a serious matter! What’s worse than the addiction is the harmful chemicals and funky animal ingredients that lurk in most glosses and balms. You will find that once you switch over to a natural lip treatment, the dry and cracked lips mend themselves and your addiction becomes less physical and remains just psychological.

Save More Than Your Stuff

VEGdaily — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 12:17:53 +0000

My apartment is approximately 390 square feet. For those of you reading this who don’t happen to also reside in NYC, you might be thinking, “but wait, my upstairs bathroom is that size!” Yes, but I live in downtown Manhattan. Small apartment or no small apartment, it’s pretty fun to live here. Especially once you look at my “menus” drawer and see the huge array of vegan cuisine that is all just one phone-call and nice tip away. I’d take that over room for a treadmill any day.

Plus, right down the street, we store our stuff. What you think of as a basement or attic (I think I saw those on TV once), I think of as “the storage unit.” And not just any storage unit…

New Book – “Food Inc.: A Participant Guide: How Industrial Food Is Making Us Sicker, Fatter, and Poorer–And What You Can Do About It”

VEGdaily — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 12:32:09 +0000

I recently finished reading the companion book to the wonderful documentary film, Food, Inc. As the subtitle states, this book is for people who upon watching the film felt compelled to do something about the various food issues discussed.

If you watched Food, Inc. and found yourself wanting more – not only more information, more statistics, but also more resources about how to get involved with, participate in, and contribute to the food movement, then I highly recommend at least browsing through this book.
