Red Velvet Vegan Ankle Boots. For Valentine’s Day?

November 5th, 2011

I’m in a Valentine’s state of mind. sung to the tune of New york state of mind.

Check these out.

Vixen Velvet Bootie

What a beaut!

This Vixen Velvet Bootie is made of all manmade materials, and like most vegan shoes, can be had for a relative “steal” ($58).

I wonder how comfortable they are. Wish all shopping sites had reviews. I find the reviews so helpful.

I recently received those clog boots from American Eagle, and they are beautiful and very very comfortable. recommended.

I also bought some low vegan doc martens. Also a great buy!! Comfortable and surprised me with how cool they look.

A wonderful article on The Gentle Barn

November 3rd, 2011

The Gentle Barn is the fulfillment of a childhood dream, says its founder, Ellie Weiner: “I was one of those children that brought stray and injured animals home. My parents were not amused.” She adds that it was her love of animals that helped her through her own abusive childhood. “The animals saved me and healed me. If they could do that for me, then they could do it for others.”

“At The Gentle Barn, Animals and People Find Healing Together”

A touching NY Times article on a farm animal sanctuary in California that helps “at risk” youths heal through bonding with rescued farm animals.  Ellen Degeneres is trying to make a reality tv show about it. I am sure it would be a tear jerker and I would love it!

A very touching article that gets at something deep. Animals speak to the lonely, childlike, loving parts of ourselves and will accept you and love you when no one else will.
