Feel-Good Fridays!

Veganism got you feelin’ good? Us too. In fact, the world is so full of great veg stories that we have a hard time keeping up with all this positive news. As such, every Friday we’re collecting the most heart-warming, smile-inducing, thumbs-uppiest web posts of the week to start the weekend with a smile. Cute animal videos, tasty vegan dishes, restaurant openings, and cool travel stories … if it made us feel good we’ll share it here every week.
 
Without further adieu, we give you this week’s Feel-Good Friday lineup!
 
Huffington Post UK outlined what to buy vegans for Christmas. We’ll take five Stella McCartney Alter Snake wallets, three Matt & Nat backpacks, and throw in a Vitamix while you’re at it. Thanks to Runway Seven, we can show up to our holiday parties in this sassy vegan leather dress. Also, Cosmopolitan knows we’ve got 99 problems, but being vegan ain’t one.
 
In feel-good news, the first-ever raw vegan cruise will set sail across the Adriatic Sea next summer, Portland’s Homegrown Smoker truck landed a brick-and-mortar shop (hello mac n’ cheese stuffed burritos!), and Singapore’s vegan burger joint VeganBurg is opening its first US location this weekend in San Francisco’s historic Haight neighborhood (you know where to find VegNews staffers this Saturday!)
 
Lastly, we can’t help but smile at the sight of these old dogs learning new tricks.
 
It feels awfully good to be vegan.
