Pizza, a Cookbook, and Eye Makeup Remover

The Date: Friday, May 17
The Delivery: Frozen pizzas from Rossini's Gourmet Fare, Fast and Flavorful Meatless Meals by Jessie Price and the EatingWell Test Kitchen, and eye makeup remover from Earth Science
Staff Pick: The chamomile green tea eye makeup remover

The DL: With Southern Comfort and SF Vegan Drinks back-to-back, not to mention finishing up our fantastic July+August issue (it's white hot!), today is leaving the VN staff a little worn out. We hope the calming chamomile in this eye makeup remover will calm and soothe our tired, puffy eyes. Not that we're complaining: If it's wrong to have two straight days of delicious food and tasty spirits, we don't want to be right. We are, however, looking forward to a very restful Memorial Day weekend. We will see you again Tuesday!

Skin Care and Soap and Books, Oh My!

The Date: Thursday, January 27

The Delivery: Liquid Soap Soother from Emily Skin Soothers, Earth Science's new Active Age Defense skincare line, Clean Start by Terry Walters, and two copies of The Bond by Wayne Pacelle

Staff Pick: The Active Age Defense Hydrating Day Cream

The DL: Who wouldn't want an ulta-moisturizing day cream for these harsh winter months? We are excited to slather the contents of this jar on our faces in the hopes that it will make our skin look gorgeous for tonight. What are the VN staffers up to, you ask? Not only are we (along with our friends at Vegansaurus) hosting the first SF Vegan Drinks of the year, but we are also attending Gracias Madre's one year anniversary! If you don't follow Café VegNews, we eat there. A lot. And we love it. A lot.

From Tea to Textiles

The Date: Monday, August 9
The Delivery: Skin Science lotion, tea, vitamins, books, dietary supplements, and textiles
Staff Pick: Skin Science Daily Sun Defense Lotion

The DL: Did you know that the sun affects your skin even if it's cloudy? We here at the VNHQ are very aware of the harmful rays that are coming through, no matter what the temperature, and we like to keep our skin as young and vibrant as we can. So we're totally stoked to try out the new Skin Science Daily Sun Defense Lotion to fool all of you into thinking we're 10 years younger.

Lemonade, Lotion, and Literature

The Date: Friday, August 6
The Delivery: Skin Science lotion, lemonade, Survive! A Family Guide to Thriving in a Toxic World
Staff Pick: Santa Cruz Organic Mango Lemonade

The DL: As the makers of Santa Cruz Organic Lemonade reminded us, August 20th is National Lemonade Day. Immediately we marked our calendars, and now can't wait to try this organic mango lemonade. It 32 ounces, it's sure to provide a toasting glass for all of us here at VNHQ.

Crazy for Chocolate

The Date: Thursday, May 27
The Delivery: Some chocolate goodies and Purfection Hand Cream from Earth Science
Staff Pick: The chocolate-covered Peanut Butter Pillows from Chocolate Inspirations

The DL: This post was in jeopardy due to the fact that the VN Staffers almost snatched all of these treats up before this photo could be taken. These Butterfinger-like candies look amazing, and we can't wait to get our hands on them!
