Give Peas A Chance

Happy Election Day! I hope you all made it out to vote!!

I have a big announcement...I've gone Vegan!

I have been a huge animal lover all of my life. During High School and most of my college years, I was a  vegetarian. I never was Vegan because I considered that to be too "extreme." 

The past few weeks David and I have been making our home more eco-friendly.

In addition to using eco-conscious cleaning solutions and detergents, We started using organic cotton reusable towels instead of wasteful paper towels. I picked up a cute giraffe set from Oh Little Rabbit Esty's store. They have adorable designs. I can't wait to order more sets to mix and match.

I started looking into more organic make-up and brushes. I am now using Juice Beauty makeup and EcoTools brushes. I love both brands! The makeup is so natural looking. The foundation has a light natural citrus smell instead of fake chemicals. My skin is super soft and my complexion is glowing! I plan to do a full review post on all the products in the future. I'm also looking forward to start using Juice Beauty's skincare products as well.  

These products lead me to Alicia Silverstone's website The Kind Life . After browsing Alicia's site, I decided to pick up her book The Kind Diet.  I quickly realized being Vegan isn't really as extreme as I previously thought. I recommend everyone do a bit of research into how awful the meat and dairy industries are for your body and the environment! In today's market, there are so many yummy and healthy alternatives. I ended up also buying a hardcopy of this book.  I wanted easy access in my kitchen to prepare my new delicious Vegan meals.

I also recently watched the documentary Forks Over Knives on Netflix. It was really eye opening and also convinced David to mainly eat Vegan with me as well. 

A few other changes that I've made is switching my Birchbox subscription in favor of Goodebox. Goodebox provides trial sized healthy, eco-sensitive, innovative & effective beauty and personal care products, along with samples of natural and organic health and wellness products as well as occasional sustainable living goods.

I also joined another subscription service from Vegan Cuts Snack Box to try new tasty treats and expand knowledge of Vegan brands. 

I also decided to retire my Alexander Wang Rocco made with calf hair in favor of Vegan brand Matt & Nat. I'm waiting on my new bag and wallet to arrive on my doorstep. I can't wait to share them with you all.

Be on the lookout for future posts as I review all my new Vegan products!

Do I have any Vegan readers out there? I would love to hear about your experiences and favorite products you love as well!
