VegWebber since? January 2011
Vegetarian, Vegan or ? Vegan since May 2010 after many years of being a vegetarian

What do you do when you're not on VegWeb? I love to create and try new recipes, being in the kitchen cooking and baking. Making vegan sweets is my specialty and favorite part of my day. Meditation, Reiki, music, jogging, reading , and getting tattooed to express myself since my body is a canvas to decorate.
Do you have blog or website? Currently I don't have a blog or website but am starting a blog soon.
Do you tweet? Yes, I'm addicted to Twitter! Just look for vegansweetness on Twitter if you want to see what's happening
One unique thing should know about you? Let's see… deep down I would really like to be a Geiko (Geisha) in Japan.
What's the best thing about being vegan? (if you are!) The best thing about being vegan is that I know my lifestyle is making a difference for the animals, earth, and people. Even though others may not agree that being a vegan really makes a difference. Another great thing is our food. I'm sorry but vegan food blows non vegan food out of the water. It's so much better tasting and healthier. Even my hubby and mother in law prefer my vegan food over their non vegan food.

One thing you wish you could make vegan but haven't succeeded at yet ?Currently working on a white chocolate sauce for using in desserts, espressos, hot chocolate and so on.
