Nail Polish and Trader Joe's Goodies

The Date: Thursday, July 28

The Delivery: Nail polish from Scotch Naturals and coconut milk and Dark Chocolate Nutty Bits from Trader Joe's

Staff Pick: The nail polish in Seething Jealousy

The DL: You might be in seething jealousy at the sight of this gorgeous shade of non-toxic, water-based nail polish, and we wouldn't blame you. We want this color on our nails as badly as we want a Mai Tai Martini in our hands. We're too busy finishing up our insane-amazing September+October issue to stop for manicure, but luckily we'll be able to grab the martini at tonight's SF Vegan Drinks. In the Bay Area? We'd love to see you! 

Empty Box Day

The Date: Monday, September 13

The Delivery: Not a whole lot.
Staff Pick: Does a new bag of Trader Joe's coffee count?

The DL: Someone down at the post office must know that our office manager extraordinaire Lyndsay Orwig still hasn't returned from the 26th Annual Vegetarian Food Fair in Toronto, because the mail has been slow since she's been gone. This big empty box means that nothing was delivered today, which means that instead of snacking on new vegan treats, we're rather pathetically microwaving frozen corn. Luckily, Lyndsay will be back tomorrow, and life shall resume as usual. We're hoping for chocolate.

New Trader Joe's Find

The Date: Wednesday, August 18
The Delivery: A box of cookies
Staff Pick: The Soft-Baked Snickerdoodles from Trader Joe's

The DL: VN Publisher Joe Connelly found these new vegan and gluten-free cookies while shopping at our beloved TJ's. We're hoping they're just as good as their Joe-Joe's!

Maple Madness

Date: Monday, December 21
The Delivery: Awakening Joy by James Baraz and Shoshana Alexander and some maple-flavored goodies courtesy of YVR.
Staff Pick: The Pure Maple Cream Cookies from Gourmet Canadiana.

The DL: Maybe it's just the withdrawal talking, but these cookies that Elizabeth generously brought back from her weekend trip to Canada remind us too much of the Trader Joe's seasonal version to be ignored.
