Free Vegan Beauty Products

I am always looking for new and delish products, so when WordVixen of Quest to Write, shared this contest on her blog and twitter, I just had to check it out. Yummy. Coffee and Kahlua lip balm... And it's Vegan! No animal fats. So very awesome. Plus there are soaps.... I love natural products.

But the real reason for this contest is because the government (don't you love that word!)is trying to pass a law that would put small beauty product companies out of business. How very nice of them! Want more info? Check out the Indie Business Blog.

If you want to enter the contest and help out a great cause, visit The Vegan Skincare Product Contest Link or check out the Vegan Skincare product page and get yourself some fabulous beauty products before the government says, NO! NO! NO!

Government's Possible Greed Over a Fan's Baseball Catch!

I already know that our government is greedy when it comes to money, but since when do they charge a man $210,000 for catching a baseball!!! Yep, the good old IRS is at it again! The IRS wants to tax a lucky fan - Matt Murphy, for catching a baseball recently hit by Barry Bonds in his 756th home run. The 756th means Barry Bonds has now passed Hank Aaron's record of 755 in 1976. Because the baseball could be worth over $500,000 dollars, the IRS may very well ask Matt Murphy to fork over $210,000 if he wants to keep that baseball! That's pretty ridiculous if you ask me.

Now if Matt Murphy were to hand that baseball back to Barry Bonds, he might just avoid those taxes. That's if he hands that baseball back immediately. So what it sounds like to me is our lovely government could quite possibly take the fun out of baseball. Pretty damn sad.

Now if Matt Murphy had plans to make some money off of that baseball, I can see where the IRS has a say so in taxes. But keeping it as a souvenir? Come on, where's your heart at? It all boils down to money. Always has always will. Without it, the US would be at war with itself. Not that we already aren't.
