Threads for Love — vegan

During a recent trip to Maui for a wedding, I thought it would be a good opportunity to seek out a local farm sanctuary to visit.  When possible, I would love to donate to sanctuaries I have personally visited.  Leilani Farm Sanctuary sits on a beautiful, eight-acre farm in Haiku, HI.  I mean, just look at this entrance! Leilani Farm Sanctuary is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization that provides shelter and care to rescued animals.  The sanctuary is home to a variety of animals including donkeys, goats, cats, rabbits, chickens, turkeys and deer.  Most of their animals were once abused, neglected...

After the recent grand opening of The Animal Museum in downtown Los Angeles, I found myself reminiscing about the night of the preview opening in October.  The Animal Museum is a one of a kind space that examines and raises awareness about our relationships with animals.   As soon as I found out tickets were available for the preview, I was immediately sold because a museum dedicated to animals + unlimited vegan hors d'oeuvres (you bet I had to Google how to spell that) + vegan booze (not unlimited but still...)= my kind of Saturday night.  I was also happy to read...

Although I love summer, I am also a sucker for fall and everything that goes along with it- the crisp air (it's finally getting crispy here in SoCal), pumpkin everything (insert #basic joke here) and all of the Halloween festivities...speaking of festivities, the September Vegan Cuts beauty box has you covered to keep you looking your beautiful self while picking apples or picking up the remote for a cozy night in!

Over Labor Day weekend, I was visiting family in Connecticut and thought it would be a great opportunity to check out a local animal sanctuary.  I came across Safe Haven Farm Sanctuary in Poughquag, NY and was excited to embark on a mini road trip!  After a couple of wrong turns (thanks for nothing Waze!) we finally arrived at the sanctuary.  It is located in a such a beautiful, serene area near the Appalachian Trail.  We were warmly greeted by co-founder, Dr. William Crain who proceeded to give us a tour of the grounds. We arrived mid-afternoon time, just in...

I've always been one to try and hold on to summer for as long as possible, especially when growing up in New England.  August always meant the last hurrah before the chilly nights set in and lazy, summer days gave way to hectic school ones.  Fortunately, the August 2016 Vegan Cuts beauty box was stocked with products that would keep away any end-of-summer blues! The August 2016 beauty box soaking up the last rays of summer.   Pacifica Lip Tint in Sugared Fig ($7 Value) It appears to be a dark color but since it is a tint, it applies lighter than it...
