First-Ever Press Pass Giveaway!

The Scoop: Congratulations to Vegan_Noodle! Not only has Amanda Mariano, author extraordinaire of Walking the Vegan Line, been awarded a Veg Bloggy award, but she's also the winner of our first-ever Press Pass Giveaway! Her response to our question asking why she deserves the super-sleek Farm Sanctuary Matt & Nat tote bag—which comes chock-full of vegan swag—was our editors' favorite. Here's what she had to say:

The reason I deserve to win this press pass giveaway is because I plan on giving it to a very special person who really deserves it, the founder of our local vegan society (Society of PEACE) who dedicates her time, money, and enthusiasm to spreading veganism in Houston, TX and is doing a dang good job at it.

This is just the kind of attitude we're looking for: generous, and genteel enough to say "dang." We like that. Here's to spreading the vegan-goodie love around!

Yay!! I can't wait give this goody bag to Kristen!! She is such an amazing advocate for animals, and I'm so excited that she will be spoiled with these vegan treats. I'll be sure to post about it :-)

Wow, Vegan Noodle (AKA Amanda) has once again blown my proverbial socks off with her generosity and goodwill. Kristen is so humble. She will be floored by this gift from Amanda. Gosh, I am so honored to know these two wonder vegans. Geez, I am once again in Vegan Heaven!!!

Thank you, Veg News for all you do!
