Hellman's Vegan Carefully Crafted Dressing and Sandwich Spread

Hey you guys, check out my review of Hellman's vegan mayo (insert eyeroll emoji) over on Vegansaurus!

We see you, Hellman's...and it's NOT COOL.

The Vegan Vendy Awards!

Sorry I've been a little MIA lately (oops, September); read up on my adventures at the Vegan Vendy Awards over on Vegansaurus!

89 = 4

Saturday was 89's birthday so we did a lot of celebrating. If you're here just for the food, you may wanna come back later; this post is all about 89 (although there are snacks)!

 

 We started the day with one of 89's favorite foods: pancakes! She got a stack all to herself.

Here she is perturbed that she had to wait to eat them (but peep her pin!).

Stealing the idea from a pal, we got these fab balloons.

They were even cool on the flip side.

 

Of course there were gifts and cards to be had.

 

And, you may have already noticed that her hoodie has been customized by VM since Christmas.

A better view of the tush.

Be on the lookout for more bday duds, but 89 was mostly interested in eviscerating this bird.

And then she received a timely special delivery from Vegan Divas, which she unceremoniously made off with before a proper photo op (don't worry; there's another one). Review up on Vegansaurus! 

We went to the grandhumans' house for more festivities:

more balloons, 

More presents,

and ice cream!

Per usual, it was a fun day in celebration of this nerd and her 4th bday!

MWAH

ICYMI: Ben & Jerry's Vegan Ice Cream Flavors!

In case you missed it, I did a review of Ben & Jerry's new vegan ice cream flavors over on Vegansaurus! Please note that I've since procured and sampled the elusive 4th flavor, chocolate fudge brownie, and was- surprisingly, not a fan. As a tremendous chocolate lover I'm a little flabbergasted by this development, but I found it bland in flavor and a bit off in texture. S'okay; 3/4 ain't bad!

Updated to include my favorite comment on the Vegansaurus post:

No idea what I'm talking about? Catch up!

Team Vegansaurus

So, I can finally share the ridiculously spectacular news I've been sitting on for some time now...  I'm now a Vegansaur!  Yep; I'm a new contributor to the venerable Vegansaurus team effort and I couldn't be more flattered, thrilled, and nervous to be in the incredible company of the wittiest, most well-spoken, pink, vegan, dinosaur bloggers around.

Is there anything more exciting than seeing a pink-wigged 89 next to the official Vegansaurus?  I THINK NOT!

Please check out my very first Vegansaurus post (on the perils of online dating as a vegan) and, if you don't already, follow Vegansaurus on Facebook, Instagram, and Tumblr for lots of amazing content, as well as more me.

Just so we're clear, A (soy) Bean isn't going anywhere.  You'll still be able to find assorted non-Vegansaurus-related rants and raves right here, so do stay tuned.  xoxo
