There are many ways you can help animals and raise awareness but I wanted to break it down into 7 Easy & Effective Ways that anybody can do or take part in, even from the comfort of your own home. This is a collaboration I did with PETA which is so incredible because they are the reason I’m vegan and the reason for me becoming an animal activist. If it wasn’t for their brave undercover investigators I would have never seen the realities of what happens to animals used for food, fashion, entertainment, etc. I understand how scary it is to stick up for something you truly believe in, especia ..read more

Protein is by far the most overstated nutrient! People are unnecessarily obsessed with protein – but it’s very, very difficult to actually be deficient in protein, and only people who are falling far short of their recommended daily calorie requirement (such as people with eating disorders) will be deficient in protein. Vegans often hear: “but where do you get your protein?” But, it’s honestly very easy for a vegan diet to meet the recommendations for protein. Nearly all vegetables, beans, grains, nuts, and seeds contain protein. Athletes such as bodybuilders or even myself have a greater ..read more

With the warmer season waving bahh-bye, now is the time to snuggle in sweater weather.  If your turtleneck is made from wool, don’t get too comfy!  Here’s why wearing wool is a waste of time… and a cause for pain. The fur industry is a grotesque one, killing more than 50 million animals each year.  Investigators at The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) found that many garments containing animal fur are incorrectly advertised or labeled, sometimes tagged as faux. Shearling is not wool, but rather a yearling sheep who has been shorn once.  A shearling garme ..read more

The Extensionist hair-care line is something I’m REALLY excited about! I’ve been wearing extensions since I was 14, with NO rest period in between. I’ve tried every type of hair extension, from braid-less weaves, to clip-ins and as much as I’m in love with them, there are definitely some struggles that come along with the maintenance and upkeep. Specifically, washing and styling them. When I heard about the Extensionist hair-care line I couldn’t wait to test out the variety of vegan hair-care products that they offer. WELL, IT’S SAFE TO SAY THAT OBSESSED IS UNDERSTATEMENT! Quick run down ..read more

Good Cubed Beauty is 100% cruelty-free for the animals, and for you. It was found by two former attorneys who decided to take an entirely different route and start Good Cubed Beauty. As lifelong animal lovers, they wanted to find a way to help make cruelty-free beauty more the norm and less of a niche industry. What I adore about this brand is that cruelty-free IS the forefront of the shopping experience here. So many other natural beauty sites kind of add it as an afterthought. They want people to be aware and proud that every purchase they make is going back to support animals ..read more
