Nordstrom Sale

Nordstrom Sale: Friday was the first day of the Nordstrom Anniversary sale and I set out to buy non-animal made shoes. I did find one pair (Munro, a comfort shoe) of great looking boots but unfortunately they looked a little funny so I didn’t buy them. I asked the sales guy if he knew of any other shoes (for Fall, closed toe) that were not made out of leather. He said “Yes, I will bring you out a couple to try on.” I was excited! Finally, I was going to be able to replace some of my leather shoes. He came back with his arms full of boxes. As he flipped the lids off the boxes, I noticed that every single pair were made of suede. I informed him of this and he said that it was not leather nor, was it made of animal products – “These are suede,” he said. I smiled and kindly educated him what suede was made of. Too funny. No shoes for me on this shopping trip!

Michelle and I spoke this weekend and we both had desserts made of eggs and dairy, her an awesome brownie and me this amazing cookie. YUMMY! But we are trying and loving our new vegan lifestyle (even if we forget we are vegan for 10 minutes). We are miles ahead of how we used to eat so we are not being too hard on ourselves!

I am currently reading, The China Study and I feel more motivated than ever. Michelle – this book is a must read, when I am done I will give it to you. I did ask John to read it, I will let you know if he does.

So I googled Louise Hay and I could not find out if she is Vegan. I will keep looking. Also, I gave away three pairs of my leather shoes and one designer Burberry handbag. I feel good about it. On my way to see the movie Batman with my husband in a few minutes.

Finally, I COOKED, yes you read that correctly. I COOKED! I am very proud of myself. I cooked for almost 2 hours yesterday and fed my mom, my niece Julia, and daughter a very healthy dinner.
