Welcome


Welcome to my blog! 

I have always wanted to write a blog of some sort however, the topic was something I was unsure of. Because of working at The Body Shop UK I have now got a huge passion for supporting cruelty-free brands and only using cruelty-free products. Lot's of companies claim to be cruelty-free but to be safe I tend to only buy products which display the leaping bunny logo that cruelty-free international introduced. I personally feel that animal testing for cosmetic products and cleaning products is unjustifiable and shouldn't be necessary.

Animal experiments include:

  • injecting or force-feeding animals with potentially harmful substances 
  • exposing animals to radiation
  • surgically removing animals'organs or tissues to deliberately cause damage
  • forcing animals to inhale toxic gases
  • subjecting animals to frightening situations to create anxiety and depression.
The silly thing about animal testing is that alternatives not involving animals are often cheaper, quicker and more effective! 

The purpose of my blog isn't to force people into buying cruelty-free brands but to show people alternative options! This may also be a place where people who are actively seeking reviews or recommendations of cruelty-free products will go. I will be reviewing anything and everything from mascara to toilet cleaner! 

If you are interested in signing the Body Shops petition to get animal testing on cosmetics band worldwide you can sign it here.

For more information on animal testing check out the cruelty-free international website here.

Thank you for taking the time to read my blog and hopefully you will visit again soon! x

The power of Hemp!

Hemp Body Butter - The Body Shop One of The Body Shop's most popular ranges is their Hemp products. It is renowned for its intense moisturisatio n powers, which led to the company selling a Hemp hand cream every 8 seconds last year. The community trade Hemp seed oil inside the Hemp products has been sourced from France since 2015. Interestingly The Body Shop has to keep this location top secret as the crops could be mistaken for other purposes.  It took me a long time personally to get over the initial smell of the Hemp product's as they are particularly strong but it's amazing performance as a moisturiser simply outweighs any other cons. With the bipolar weather at the moment, I find that my skin can get quite dry especially as I shower a lot (twice a day don't judge) and shave my legs a lot. The result of this is extremely dry annoyingly itchy legs! I needed a product that I could apply once in the evening that was going to deeply nourish my skin.  Afte

Cheap and Cruelty-free!

Superdrug's B. Pure Micellar Water  A lot of people make the assumption that buying cruelty-free products is a lot more expensive and that can be the case especially with brands such as Burts Bee's , Lush etc. However, a lot of affordable brands have made their own products cruelty-free such as Waitrose , Marks and Spencer and my personal favourite SUPERDRUG ! I love Superdrug with all my heart (apart from their loyalty cards, literally what do I get out of that thing?) their products are ridiculously affordable and are actually good! All Superdrugs own products have the leaping bunny logo and often are vegetarian and vegan.   For a year or two, I have been using the Garnier Micellar water for sensitive skin. Unfortunately, Garnier is owned by L'oreal who do test on animals, therefore, it was time for me to find an alternative. It's a shame because when you find a product that really works for you it becomes a staple part of your skin routine but I had to sti

Summer Glow

Solait Gradual Tan Lotion Summers coming which means the legs are out. Which also means I don't want to blind people with my shockingly pale skin. Don't get me wrong I don't want to look like a satsuma, I just like to give my leg's a glow as they never catch the sun.  I'm always wary of using tanning products as I don't want to look orange, I hate the upkeep,  I don't want streaky lines and also I don't really mind being pale. However gradual tan always seemed appealing to me as it sounded easy to maintain and do quickly.  If you have read some of my blogs you already know I love Superdrug and their products so I decided to give their gradual tan lotion a whirl. I picked the medium tan option which I've been using for a few weeks now and the results have been amazing! The colour isn't too dark, it doesn't leave any streaky marks and it's so easy to use! I use this every morning or evening on my legs depending on what I'm
