Their version of a sample was the FULL size…How awesome is that!

Looking back, this Summer has given me such a HUGE excuse to be lazy…But I have been dabbling with nabbing free vegan samples of items I have yet to try and when the nice folks at The Vegg offered on Facebook to give out free samples to bloggers in order to review their innovative product, I took no time to tell them who I was and within a week I got my sample in the mail.  To say I was excited to try this heavily buzzed about product was definitely an understatement… Continue reading →

So I figured I would start off by showing you my puppy dog face and by apologizing to all of you for the lack of posts lately.  These past couple months were CRAZY to say the least…from a mystery illness that hit everyone in the house (except Raegan), selling our old condo, to a car accident that might not have hurt me physically but it hurt me in the convenience department 🙁
