Turning a New Leaf

Hello there!

So I haven't uploaded a blog post in a very long time, since November 2013 I believe? And even before then I wasn't really uploading how a true blogger would upload. I can go on and on with excuses on why I hadn't been posting, but we'd be here all week! Basically I'm free from my studies and ready to get sharing! 

Now, to the whole 'New Leaf' title I've given this post. So around the start of this year my sister and I were discussing on how we do not appreciate makeup and skincare brands that test on animals. We feel like we should not be using brands that torture, harm or do worse(!) to poor innocent animals, who don't even get a choice in the matter, just for our beauty-gain. 

I don't want to make this a super serious post, but long-story-short, I've decided to go cruelty-free on all beauty products I use, thus the redesigning on my blog to celebrate. My plan is to finish using all the products I already own who may have always, or recently started testing on animals, due to the fact I cannot go back on what I have purchased. 

I do find that this will be a challenge in the sense that I am 18 years old, who currently does not have a job, so finding good products that work for me and are affordable are a must. Growing up I've been so used to popping to the drugstore and purchasing whatever I find looks 'pretty'. In another way I find this is not challenging at all, because there a so many brands that I haven't even heard of who don't test on animals, and most of these brands are vegan too! I just find it so fascinating. 

I have already been using cruelty-free brands without even knowing it too! So that's like a plus for me! I am so excited to try out new things and review them for you all; I am currently testing out some new products that I know I'll love for a long time.


Will be posting soon!

Peace & Love
