Vegan Shoe of the Day: Rinaldi Designs
With my current frustration with the selection/quality of American vegetarian shoes, I’ve started searching the internet for European and Asian companies and have found a few gems. One is June + Julia that I wrote about HERE. My most recent discovery is the House of Rinaldi, a vegan couture company in India that is a favorite of Pamela Anderson and Natalie Portman. Not sure why I haven’t heard about it before now. Designer Rina Shah has some gorgeous designs,... Read More
World Fest 2011: My Drive-By Sugar Fix
I came. I saw. I ate. Okay, thats a little melodramatic as I only ate one thing at World Fest 2011. Unfortunately I had to split to go see Bridesmaids (Well, not unfortunately because that movie is HILARIOUS) so I was only able to grab one thing.

I Try Pai
Out of all the great vegan products featured in this month’s issue of Coco Eco Magazine (that I also happened to guest edit), Pai Skincare was the one I was most excited to try. A) Because it is formulated for ultra-sensitive skin (hello, that’s me), B) Natalie Portman’s a fan and I love her, and C) the simple organic ingredients (stuff like macadamia nut oil, geranium and rose water) make it sound like something you actually want to put on your face. I... Read More
Gluten Free Vegan Carrot Cake Cupcakes
Thanks to my friend Linda for sending in what she claims is the best recipe for gluten free vegan carrot cake cupcakes ever! She says: I served these cupcakes at my parent’s 60th wedding anniversary party. No one knew that they were vegan and gluten free. They are awesome! I haven’t had a chance to try the recipe myself but I can guarantee that she has good taste (taste, get it? I’m hilarious). Anyway, GF buddies, check it out! GF Vegan Carrot Cake Cupcakes Recipe...

I’m Coco Eco Magazine’s Guest Editor!
I’m so excited to have been a guest editor of this month’s Coco Eco Magazine! The issue, focusing on “Wild Life” is one of my favorites. Sebastian Copeland, the award-winning photographer and filmmaker who photographs remote locations like the North Pole to support the cause of climate change, is the cover story (and he looks hot!). The issue also features some GREAT vegan products that I haven’t heard heard of, like the super sexy body lotion... Read More
