On a recent business trip to LA I brought my 5 yr. old daughter along on an appointment and she noticed these dolls on the other end of the showroom and has not stopped asking for them since. So this being the case I have to order these really cool dolls called
"Pogs" ASAP and I'm sure that they will be taking over the house very soon. My lil' one has her own mini eco-movement goin' on and only wants eco-friendly toys,…

Most of those who say the latter admit they've never tried being vegan. How do you know you can't do something if you've never tried?
