Things I hate as a vegan …. Pls tell me I’m not the only one!
The hard part about being vegan isn’t the food.
It’s the world that finds your choices more uncomfortable than the reality behind theirs.

don’t travel solo…
“you’re married, go with your husband” — We’ve all heard this before…
but here’s the truth… solo travel hits different.

you reconnect with yourself, travel at your own pace, do things you love {and finally do everything you wanted to but was always pushing it back}, 🍰 eat what you want (all those vegan desserts without anyone watching you ☺️🙃), talk to strangers (a lot), sit alone without feeling weird ….. and somewhere in all that, you meet yourself.

scary? Not at all.
worth it? every single time. ✨

Did you know your fav lipstick may have bug juice 🐞 ? Shocking?
Truth is - most lipsticks in the market contain
🐞 carmine = crushed cochineal beetles
🐑 lanolin = grease derived from sheep’s wool (waxy greasy substance secreted by sheep’s skin)
🐝 beeswax = bee vomit

Who wants to slather their lips with bug juice?
☺️ Didn’t think so.

Thankfully, there are plenty of brands doing it right. 💄 I’ve put together a handy list so you can shop vegan lipstick with ease:

👉🏻 #VeganLipstick Brands:
@violette_fr, @elfcosmetics, @kvdbeauty @milkmakeup, @tower28beauty, @inikaorganic @axiology_beauty, @lilylolouk @rarebeauty,

👉🏻 Cruelty-Free brands with Vegan options:
🐰 cruelty-free doesn’t mean a product is vegan. It simply means it’s not tested on animals, so be careful.
@tartecosmetics @rmsbeauty, @doseofcolors (most products are vegan), @charlottetilbury, @glossier @urbandecaycosmetics @nyxcosmetics

🇮🇳 Vegan Indian makeup brands
@asabeautyindia @kirobeauty @disguisecosmetics @colorchemistry.in @lovechildbymasaba @hyueofficial

Next time you buy makeup – make sure it’s #crueltyfree and #vegan! And look out for
- Natural Red 4
- E120
- *CI 75470 (misspelled in video as CI 17470 🙈)
- Carmine or Carmine lake
- Cochineal extract
- Carminic Acid

👆🏼 they’re all different names of carmine (bug juice)

✨ Share this with a friend who loves makeup!

Your ultimate VEGAN SHOE GUIDE 💚 (scroll through)
- Boys, is it hard to find high-quality formal men’s vegan shoes?
- Ladies, can’t find stylish comfy vegan heels that screams luxury?
- Can’t find vegan shoes in your country?
- Not sure where to find vegan shoes in Dubai or India?

Well this guide has it all, and more……
So no more excuses, time to switch to #veganshoes.

💬 If you know any other vegan shoe brand, pls drop them in the comment box below.

❤️ My absolute favs on the list @stellamccartney @aeranewyork @on @bikkou_geneve @jwpei_official @momocshoes @marzeri_milano (their men’s shoes esp r fab, I’ve seen their factory in Italy 🇮🇹) and @femme_la

P.S. misspelled @mattandnat and @coilex is an online store with vegan shoe collection 🙏🏼

🤷🏻‍♀️ Why haven’t I mentioned brands like Charles and Keith, Steve Madden that have non-leather options?
👉🏻 Because while they may not use leather, their glues and other materials could be from animals. So unless it’s a vegan brand, or they have a specific vegan collection you can’t be sure of animal materials being used in their products.
