Today is the day we've all been waiting for... I am FINALLY getting to cruelty-free and vegan beauty product reviews! As of right now I am planning on doing my own makeup for my wedding in September, which means a LOT of product testing - and I'm taking you along for the ride! After using this much-hyped about mascara for over two months, I feel as though I'm ready to give you the full lowdown. Check it out after the jump!
Read MoreHello friends!
I'll be honest with you, I have always been a voracious reader. But in 2015? Not so much. I had so much going on working at sea, getting engaged, moving, starting my blog, getting two new jobs, and two kittens, that reading took a backseat to the craziness that was my life!

Before going vegan I owned coats with fur trim and never thought anything of it. I was told that it was natural, that it was the perfect material to keep warm, that it was normal. And I never thought to question it. Now I know better, and every bit of fur I see feels like a punch in the stomach.
