Self Care - Vegan and Cruelty Free!
Self care is important. Taking the time to care for your skin, hair, nails, etc. is vital to feeling your best and being your most confident self. The more I've researched the beauty industry, the more I've learned how toxic, harsh, and damaging so many of the ingredients and practices used can be. I'm a firm believer that what you put on your body is just as crucial as what you put in your body and had to make a more conscious change once I'd educated myself. I've been steadily switching out all of my old beauty products for more ethical choices for a year now and I'm finally at a place where I can confidently recommend a few! I'm so passionate about creating a more sustainable, compassionate world so I'm always looking to share my knowledge of smarter, kinder options with anyone interested. The products mentioned here are some of my tried and true self-care items. I've tested many of them out over a long period of time and have seen the same quality results as many of my past favorites. Without further ado, here is my current list!
