For those of you celebrating our freedom in the good ol’ US of A this weekend – let’s rejoice in the freedom of all living creatures whether they moo or oink or carry around wine coolers and throw horseshoes. While the 4th is a great excuse to gather with friends and family, soak up some rays and get a bit tipsy – it is also a wonderful day for reflection and being thankful for what you’ve got. Lets celebrate the freedom that we have to choose a diet and lifestyle that truly shows compassion to all living creatures and mother earth. Let’s also be thankful to have the means to spread our message all over the world.
On that note, lets cover what America knows best – consumerism. Here are some great compassionate BBQ suggestions.
The Pin Up Dress from Modcloth will keep you comfy, cool, cute and festive!
Try out some glamy glam shades to block out the blinding sun.
Kid Safe Screen from Marie Veronique Organics is not just for kids. I love this toxin-free, lightweight sunscreen and you should too.
Make some Country Fried Seitan, Macaroni salad or potato salad and woo your friends with your cruelty-free culinary prowess.
Consult Barnivore and stock up on your favorite veg-friendly booze! Remember to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water too.
Enjoy! Have Fun! Be Safe!
