My cruelty-free journey
I wanted to start off by introducing myself and share WHY I got into cruelty-free fashion!
I’ll start by giving you a little background of how it all started. I used to always be on the prowl for luxury high-end brands like Louis Vuitton, Gucci, you name it. Then came a time when I was in the market to buy my next designer handbag and I showed it to my husband to see what he thinks. He said, “yeah, I like it, but its made out of calf leather…you love baby cows.” It was at that moment that it hit me. I already wasn’t eating animals, but why was I wearing them?
This realization brought me to research the leather industry and I was appalled by what I discovered. I used to believe that leather, suede, etc. was a by-product of the food industry (which doesn’t make it any better) but that was not the case. Since that moment over a year ago, I vowed to never support the industry again and have been building my cruelty-free closet ever since.
I look forward to sharing all of my favorite cruelty-free and vegan fashion, beauty and lifestyle finds with all of you!

You and I have a lot in common! Exactly the same reason I fully embraced veganism. Congratulations on starting your blog!
