It’s Halloween season, which means everyone is busting out their tubs o’ decorations and rediscovering just how sexy-cool Gomez and Morticia have been through the ages, but I just wanted to point out that for many vegans, aligning with the spooky season is not just a passing thing.
I’d even go so far as to say that vegans are bewitchingly in affinity with October 31 year-round because we are mysterious and magical AF. Don’t believe me? Here are ten ways that vegans express our inner-sorcerers 365 days a year, not just when pumpkin spice is in the air.
