I can’t live without Acuvue (I wear contacts), Always (I love those pads), Band-Aid (for obvious reasons).
I was shocked that Maybelline, L’oreal, Febreze, Aveeno, Secret, Crest, Shu Uemera, Giorgio Armani, Chapstick, Arm & Hammer, Clorox, Garnier, etc. test on animals. I will stop supporting these companies from now on!
Beauty Companies Against Animal Testing
Posted onA couple of days, I came across a YouTube video from one of my favorite companies, Lush. They did a real-life demonstration on what animal testing is like and how cruel and unusual it is. Watch this video.

Shocking, right? After watching this video, I decided I had to do my part. I signed Lush’s petition here. I also came up with the idea to research and compile a list of the well-known companies that DON’T test on animals. I’m including makeup, skin care, and even clothing stores that sell perfumes or lotions. Here’s what I’ve found:
*When I put something in parentheses like (this) that means where you can find these companies in stores.
**When I put something in brackets like [this] that means that company owns the company that’s not in parentheses

An Obsession: (Part 1) Hunger Games
Posted onIf you saw the amazing spectacle of a movie, Hunger Games, watch this video. You’ll laugh ’til your sides hurt!
If you’re in love with Peeta like I was just by watching the movie. (Don’t worry, I’ve read the books! And I loved Peeta when I read the books!) You will appreciate this picture set.
And we can’t forget the head-strong female that takes the series by storm, Katniss.
And for those Everlark shippers and fans.
