A big 'ole YDV Thank You…

Hi guys! I wanted to thank you all for letting us know a little more about your skincare routines.  There were a lot of great products mentioned (and links because you guys are awesome like that) and I really appreciate you sharing them with us. As promised, YDV will be sending one lucky person a lovely vegan gift.  What I did was take everyone's comment by number, put it on a piece of paper in a bowl and had a random vegan draw a number.  The lucky number this time is #7!  So, Krista, you have won and we will be contacting you shortly for mailing information. Congratulations to Krista and thank you everyone for entering.  And, if you didn't win this time, keep checking back for more give aways and contests!  :)

Ecorazzi reported information found on autobloggreen.com.  So I went to autobloggreen to check it out.  The post title is, 'PETA Alert: Fiat underscores eco-friendliness using unique advertising campaign'.  And, as intended, [...]

YDV Review: The Melt Bar and Grilled ~ Lakewood, Ohio

Ya'll, I have a confession.  I am a grilled cheeze-a-holic.  I could eat ten grilled ooey gooey sammies and still have room for cupcakes.  (Great, I just made myself think about cupcakes)  They are, for me, the ultimate in comfort food.  I love bread, I love butter, and I love vegan cheeze.  So naturally when I read the Vegan in Cleveland review for The Melt Bar and Grilled I wanted to go.  And so I, along with one of my favorite vegans, did. First, we had no trouble finding the place or getting a place to park.  We found a meter right around the corner.  Score!  I should mention, however, we went on a Wednesday and in the late afternoon.  I've read other reviews that say that the place gets quite packed on a weekend and I can see where that would be true.  The restaurant has a couple of [...]
