Vegan in Fairbanks, Alaska
Arctic Vegan Gear

Being a happy vegan traveler requires special consideration, forethought. So when I booked my way to Fairbanks, Alaska in a mission to capture the Northern Lights, I knew I had to outfit myself with warm gear that aligned to my values–free of animal materials. Cold weather gear is different than Read more…


Scenes From a Quarantine, Part 4

I decided I’d take my accordion out in quarantine and try to learn how to play it. Of course I had to put on my German dirndl… because that is the closest region of garb I have, though it’s way off. Things: I need to replace the leather shoulder straps Read more…


Some Vegan Things I Like Lately

My Canon PowerShot G9X is always with me.  It’s a lovely point and shoot with a throwback design that reminds me of my grandfather’s old cameras.  I was excited to find a faux leather case that suits its aesthetic.  I was also excited about this pro-introvert pin. I don’t have Read more…


Let’s Talk About Socks …Warm, Vegan Socks

For many years it was difficult to find warm socks that did not contain wool.  But thanks to modern science and technology, that is no longer the case.  Mostly with the demand of socks staying not just warm but also dry, winter sports outfitters have expanded the vegan sock market.  Read more…


Greetings From Nashville, Tennessee

I arrived in Nashville in the early a.m.  One, because of entering the Central Time zone and two, more so, because I left Sweetwater, TN at the crack of dawn. I just didn’t know what to expect as far as traffic. But it was smooth sailing and I arrived with Read more…


When in Rome, do as the Romans. So when in Nashville…

Cowboy boot outfitters are all over the place in Nashville–every style, color, bedazzled, and traditional. But, dear readers, would Nashville have vegan cowboy boots? (…suspenseful music…) As I perused the rainbow of boots, mostly to temporarily bask in the air conditioning and escape the sweltering heat pounding the pavement, it Read more…


More Vegan Winter Coats: Down Alternatives

Something happens that I’m head over heels.  I never find out till I’m head over heels. I was singing this fantastic song in my car the other day, and I thought: I totally agree. So I enjoy something at a moderate and healthy level. Fine and dandy. And then… a Read more…


Vegan Coats That Are Warm: Hoodlamb Hemp Tailors

Hoodlamb make all-vegan coats that are warm. Yes, warm… and vegan. Not accidentally, but on purpose. For a while, it was a pipe dream in my bookmarks because they’re pretty costly.  Even more so given the Euro conversion. But I bought one with my holiday bonus.  Because it’s the kind of purchase Read more…


The Really Long Post About Yellowstone Park That Eventually Has Pictures of Vegan Food

For a gal who always sees the first a.m. showing of movies in the theater to avoid people, going to Yellowstone National Park in August is a little counterintuitive. However, crowded in Yellowstone Country is far different than crowded in, say, the New York City subway. It’s 2.2 million acres. Read more…


Vegan-ish Hiking Boots

A lot of shoes are made from animals. With a trip to Yellowstone coming up, I needed some vegan hiking boots. Here is my research in case it helps. To note: I was searching for women’s mid-cut hiking boots, so my list does not include low-cut hiking shoes. Many of these Read more…


Various Vegan Product Reviews

New vegan-friendly products are springing up all the time. Here are an assortment, old and new, that I’ve purchased recently. It’s always a welcome site to see vegan specialty items at my conventional super market. Bee Free Honee, a sweetener made from apples, has that honey look and honey taste. I mostly used it Read more…


Are Ya Ready Boots? …Vegan Cowboy Boots

My quest for vegan cowboy boots started a few years back. In those years, I have worn this pair (see left) to the ground… while keeping my eye on thrift store offerings. After all, it was at a thrift store in Greenville, South Carolina where I found them: in my Read more…
