Skincare Products, Cookies, and Books

The Date: Tuesday, September 27, 2011

The Delivery: Big Vegan by Robin Asbell, The Blue Zones by Dan Buettner, gluten-free oatmeal-raisin and peanut butter cookies from Tia’s Bakery, and an assortment of skin treatment products from Healing Waters

Staff Pick: Healing Waters’ Skin Treatment line

The DL: While we’re daydreaming in the office about the fabulous Thailand VegVacation that Publisher Joe Connelly and Associate Publisher Colleen Holland are hosting right now, we’ll just pamper ourselves pretty with Healing Waters’ skin treatment products. Even though it doesn’t solve our envy for their scheduled two-hour Thai massage, these products smell great and seem like they'll help take the edge off. But, if you’re like us and crave a little R&R before the holiday madness ensues, there’s still time to sign up for VegNews’ Vegan Yoga Retreat to Mexico, which kicks off on November 26. Bon voyage! 

 

Cookbooks and DVDs

The Date: Wednesday, September 21
The Delivery: When Bachelor Meets Homemaker with Kerrie Saunders and John Pierre, The Tipsy Vegan by John Schlimm, a promotional video for Karyn's Inner Beauty Center, and Big Vegan by Robin Asbell
Staff Pick: The Tipsy Vegan

The DL: You would think a book called The Tipsy Vegan would be filled with cruelty-free White Russians and Bloody Marys, and we'd be perfectly OK with that. But you would be both wrong and pleasantly surprised, because although The Tipsy Vegan offers recipes for vegan cocktails, most of its pages contain some seriously delicious-sounding happy-hour appropriate eats! Tequila Seduces Guacamole? That sounds like both a tasty appetizer and a the headline of a news piece we'd like to see The Onion write.
