I give you permission to snoop sneak a peek at all the wonderful cruelty-free goodies I can’t leave the house without. I’ve excluded all of my baby items (dipes, wipes, and booty creams) since I’ve already written quite a few posts about my fave babe must-haves.

This first time I walked into a Lush Store, I thought I died and went to heaven. That was 12 years ago while on vacation in Banff, Canada. Although not yet a vegan, I was still smart enough to recognize something good when I found it.
Over the years I’ve coveted [...]
It’s dry skin season, peeps and I know we’re all in the market for an awesome moisturizing hand/foot/face lotion… a vegan and cruelty-free one that works. I recently tried Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion and it fit the bill. I had actually never heard of a shielding lotion before so I did a little research. [...]
I love Earth Science skin care! Their products are cruelty-free and primarily vegan (with the exception of a few products which contain beeswax – read all ingredients), hypo-allergenic and don’t contain any methyl or propyl parabens.
