So last week I was watching a video about a cat that was used for experiments through a university and lived its whole life scared and being tested on. I have two rescue cats and this destroyed me. So immediately after this video I decided that I wanted to start using products that did not test on animals.
So I started doing research, but as I started searching I learned that just because the product doesn’t test on animals doesn’t mean they are free of cruelty. So I decided to go cruelty free, so using organic and vegan household products. When I started this I was just thinking of things like cleaning products, shampoos, conditioners, cosmetics, and things of that nature. But the more research I did, the more I found out that this world of cruelty free goes beyond just cosmetics and other body cleaning products. So after about of weeks worth of research has lead me to decide that I am going to try and go completely cruelty free/vegan/organic for all the products used in my household.
I am so excited to do this and as I have been shopping for new products to use, I have noticed that my cruelty free, vegan/organic decisions are making their way into my food decisions as well. I have begun looking for sustainable and locally sourced foods. I am already feeling better in all aspects of my life and can’t wait to see where this takes me.
