Many things about adopting a vegan lifestyle are inherent, like don’t wear leather or suede, never again consume anything that had a face or a family, immediately find a non dairy ice cream you adore and a store that sells nuts in bulk. Other layers of this transition were not as clear for me, like […]

I’ve always been more than casually interested in the beautiful bouquets of decoratively cut fruit that are available for sending as gifts. It is an entire arrangement that is edible…what a strange and fantastic idea. The one thing that has always been my sticking point when considering sending one is the cost. They are down […]

Since becoming vegan one of the things I have been hyper vigilant in seeking out is mouthwatering vegan dark chocolate. To me it rivals finding the Lost Ark, finding my lost keys or finding a long lost love. The kind of chocolate that melts when it hits your tongue and tingles the sides of your […]

This cheesy post is aptly named for Sandy, the one in our household who thrived on cheese before turning vegan. One of the sense memories that I knew would need to be replicated for Sandy to enjoy veganism is her beloved, Parmesan cheese. Having been caught sprinkling it on nearly every vegetable or main course […]

When we first became vegan I felt overwhelmed. I was overwhelmed by all the new things that I felt I didn’t know and by what I perceived were the rules of engagement of being vegan.

You may remember that I confessed in an earlier Exploits post that I had become completely obsessed with […]

Since I have been working at Trader Joe’s I have come to realize that many people are consuming Aloe Vera juice as a health tonic. It is a popular item at the Joe’s and it has piqued my curiosity. I have to be honest, I did not think that people ingested it. I thought it […]

Hi my name is Sherry and I am addicted to lip balm. I don’t know when or how it began, but this is my reality. The tricky part is that even though my addiction is out of control, I am kind of particular about it. Over the counter balm wont appease the monkey on my […]
