"Go Fruit Yourself" Shirt from the Sassy Fruit People! If you haven't had enough raw food entertainment lately, I mean, who has.....gotta keep up with DurianRider & the David Wolfe Chronicles. And adding Characters daily!
Sure Vegans love food, and animals, but we love tee's and sweats just as much! Comfy Clothes to wear about town and declare our "Veggie Vote". Here is just a sampling of some great Vegan Tee's that would work wonderfully as Holiday Gifts!
Vegan Shirt with Animals. From Compassion Co. Another great tee from Compassion Co. These styles are so cute and also great for the peeps who don't really want to wear "Whips and Chains" Tee's!
Hemp Cells Anyone? Love these Hemp Shirts from a small West Coast Company, Swirlspace.
The Hemp Cell Close Up. These are truly save the world shirts. Hemp could really save us, if we let it!!
And for the boys, Hemp Endosperms!
It's Holiday Season, right? So we can't leave Jesus out of it! Apparently Jesus is embracing Hemp as well. No pesticides. Super Durable. And we can eat it for our Omega 3's. Another Swirlspace Print.
Bhakti Men's Hanuman Shirt Let's not kid ourselves, right? Holidays are kind of about Spiritual Materialism.....So what better way to declare your "inner spiritualist" than by sportin' a Hanuman Shirt?
"Hail Seitan, Go Vegan" Shirt. Yes, something my hubby would like as we don't both worship at the same altar. Mine involves cases of bananas, greens, apples, legumes and a Spice Tiffin. His, anything gluteny!
I am loving on Allen Ginsberg. Got Pretty bummed out when a homophobic neighbor of mine, once again tried to "convert" me. I guess the person I am "supposed" to become doesn't think Muslims, Hindus or Jews have any validity. Or any other forms of Christianity. My Vegan Brain is blown into smithereens when someone actually believes that only their small sect of a major religion has "the truth". Allen Ginsberg cheers me the fuck up. Oh, saw the video below posted on Facebook by Food Fight Grocery (they were posting out of shock I think!). Well......Allen has a response for that too!
Rick Perry. Saying it like only he can. I love him. I mean, who the fuck else can say, "I'm not ashamed to admit that I am a Christian".......but "Something wrong with this country when Gays can openly serve in the military". No Rick Perry, I personally don't believe you are a Christian if you have an issue with Gays losing their lives for you while not hiding their sexuality. That's my personal belief.......And it leads me to this.
Beware. Don't press "play" if you are easily offended. If you are and just can't help but press play anyway, then just get a gluten free vegan brownie to stuff in your mouth if it happens to hang open!
Just Remember, if you are vegan, those Hard-On's are a LOT easier to get AND keep!
And Yella, a dog that was rescued from East St. Louis, is going for his first Heartworm Treatment. He STILL doesn't have a foster or forever home so he is still at Pj's. Yella is the sweetest pup and has had a couple gunshot wounds in his day. www.gatewaypets.com
Oh, and "The China Study" author had a baby. Named it Leanne Campbell Disla. And SHE wrote a COOKBOOK!
This Vegan Spring Chicken is 108 and eats lots of veggies!
There has been SO much going on with our rescue. We focus on dogs in East St. Louis. This was the our recent one. Well, Pj picked up Womba yesterday, but we were not with her to record. So we were in East St. Louis, one cold morning, trying to rescue Mr. Tux and another kitty for Ms. Julia. Ms. Julia had a terrible week with the loss of one of her furkids and immediately wanted to open her home to save a few more of these street kids. We are so lucky to have such incredible compassionate people with open homes. Well, a neighborhood dog kept trying to jinx the kitty rescue, and brought to stray little puppies with him.
This is a part 1 of the rescue. Boogie was found at a recording studio in East St. Louis. He was hanging around another dog that was chained up near the building. We were able to check with someone outside the studio, and they confirmed with the owner that the little puppy was not his. So Pj put on her rescue gloves and Pj & Jamie used pieces of scrap wood outside of the building to get the little guy. The actual rescue is in the second video below. Gateway Pet Guardians.
And Part II Mr. Boogie gets caught and gets taken to Hillside Animal Hospital to meet Dr. Ed and get checked out.
Okay, easy green gift ideas........food and grocery oriented. Like Me :)
Glass Dharma Straws
Glass Straws have transformed my Green Smoothie Experience. While I used to face my greens in the Vita-Mix with more trepidation.....Glass Straws and a Case of Bananas changed everything. They look cool, feel cool, and will probably change your drinking experience. They have straw cozies, cleaners, etc...as well! BPA FREE!
Chico Bags My favorite reusable bags. These are for produce and they sure beat always having to rip off a new plastic bag in the produce section.
Chico Bags Chico makes all sorts of bags......and they all fold up into themselves meaning you can put them in your pockets or your bag in the event that you need an extra bag at the store, for books, etc...Most of them hold 20 pounds or slightly more!
Chico Bags
Super Small when folded up in themselves.
To Go Ware
Bamboo Silverware to keep on ya, so you don't have to take disposable ones if you eat out. Also super easy if you take your own lunch. Or for the OCD person who doesn't want
To Go Ware
Great Stainless Steel Tiffins that are BPA free!
To Go Ware
Bamboo Cutlery enclosed in a napkin carrying case!
Water/Tea/Coffee Bottle
OMG. These are my FAVORITE water bottles EVER!!!! They have 2 different screens you can put inside. One with bigger holes to prevent ice from blocking the "flow". And the other is a screen for TEA!! So I put LOOSE tea in this guy, pour over hot water, and I have tea to go!! LOVE IT! It keeps liquids hot or cold for a LONG time. That means if you get a coffee to go, at a coffee place, you will need to add some water or soymilk because it would be too hot to drink........Very Thermal. Also will fit nearly an entire bottle of wine. Not that we have EVER tried that. But you know, um, just to experiment. This is the most useful bottle we have ever had! I even use them at home to brew my hot teas and keep them hot! And of course, BPA FREE.
The Spice Tiffin. Stainless Steel. Standard Measuring Spoons.This has been my kitchen lifesaver......I have this addiction to my Indian Slow Cooker Book (but you could use the spice box for ANY type of cooking!) and this enables me to dish out all the spices I need for Dal Makhani, Methi Carrots, Rajmahs, Chana Masalas and more, in about 10 seconds. Holds 7 spices and comes with 2 standard measuring spoons plus little "levelling ledges" on the containers so you don't even have to pull out a knife to level your spices! (My mom's Home Ec. teacher, Mrs. Fenn, from Downers Grove, would have LOVED this!). My mom levels her spices to this day!
I need one of these!! How many times have I wanted a cup of coffee somewhere and don't get it because I don't have my thermos with me and don't want to use a disposable BPA cup.
My favorite sprouter!!! This looks like just a plastic container, but is has several types of lids and you can sprout without turning anything upside down!! You soak the seeds in here, in the plastic strainer within the container. Rinse them super easily by just lifting the inner container out, and put them back in to drain and grow. Even good for travel as it has 3 different types of lids. One for "growing" that vents very well for optimal conditions, the other is a flat (can be used for travel) lid that snaps on and vents, and then a solid lid that snaps on and has no wholes for finished sprouts, or travelling without any leakage! If you let your sprouts get moldy, forget to rinse enough, etc...this is the sprouter for you! Okay, I know it's plastic! But you only put cold water in it and it makes sprouting TOO easy not to use.......for you lazy kids out there (like me) who have wakened one morning, and said an "oh f**k, I forgot to rinse my sprouts last night".
Okay Dr. Oz. Is wildly promoting Salmon a super responsible thing to do? WOW! Seems that even organic salmon is super contaminated with PDBE's and other nasties, even in ANTARCTICA! Listen to this short clip to hear what they found in people's liposuction samples! Icky stuff to get sucked out of your butt!! A "Fat Ass" is "truly toxic" in this case!! Luckily there are LOTS of plant based DHA supplements on the market so there is no need to eat poison for some long chains!
After Patella and Tibia's rescue, we hopped over to K9 Carnival where we had 4 dogs resting up, adjusting, being calm during heartworm treatments, etc....Malcolm and Baxter were the most recently rescued dogs. Pj has been feeding Malcolm for about 5 years on the streets of East St. Louis. He used to "hang" across from the AT&T building over there and he had a lot of people feeding him. Then some construction started happening, and a few dogs went into heat, and he moved. He started showing up in all different areas and his beautiful coat began to look shabby. Pj was able to rescue him one day and my jaw dropped when she called me. Seeing Malcolm inside of a building, and getting petted, nearly made me break down crying on the spot. I wasn't able to have the camera out for long because there were a lot of dogs on the other side of Malcolm and Ivory's area, and they don't all like "cameras". But did get a little video of Malcolm getting some butt rubs.
