I'm a happy vegan who has previously only petitioned and spoken to people she knows. Now it's time for me to have a blog where I can rant, share things I find, and help stop the outrageous exploitation of animals through sharing of knowledge and opinions.

Makeup, hygiene products etc

So I'm a fan of Natio products now. I buy their makeup their shampoo and conditioner, their face wash, body wash, moisturiser etc.

I just love it. It's not tested on animals, and only a select few products include beeswax.

Literally my whole makeup bag is from their range, and it's a pretty standard price for makeup, which is great since I'm on a budget. The cleansers and stuff is more expensive, but I don't care because it's not tested on animals!

Juicing

So I received a juicer for Christmas, and have obsessively juiced the contents of my fridge since.

I like juicing because it's easier to consume than smoothies, which I tend to spend a long time drinking, as they're chunky (I don't have a super amazing blender, so my smoothies aren't overly smooth).

Anyway, my favourite recipe is:

1-2 cups of spinach
a stalk of celery
half a cucumber
an apple
a plum
a nectarine
some coconut water (added after the juice is juiced).

This one has heaps of nutrients, and it tastes great too!

Skinfood

So in New Zealand there's this brand called Skinfood... Now, it's not entirely Vegan, they use honey and beeswax, but they don't test on animals, which is the main point. Anyway, I don't buy it, but I thought I should write a post on it, because my Mum has it, and I used some of it last night. I had this gorgeous sea-green/blue nail polish on (two coats), and when I used the excess facial moisturiser to moisturise my hands, it literally removed the nail polish. I don't mean dulled it, I mean it removed it to the point where my nails started to come through. This scared the shit out of me. What kind of moisturiser is like that?! Do I really want that stuff on my skin? If anyone can explain this phenomenon, please leave a comment.
