I've transferred a few picture posts over to lavietoni.wordpress.com. I'm not sure if I'll stick to it or not, but I've been wanting to do a more simplified and organized photo blog. We'll seeee.

I like the zebra.

And why do you have shampoo by your sink?

It's not shampoo, it's some kind of gel hair product! I get it because Biolage smells so good.

I like the zebra too, but it doesn't go with our stuff, and it's a little stained.

I used to love Biolage, but they test on animals which makes me sad.

I should have you come to inventory of my entire home.

I'm progressing slowly. When I first became vegetarian, I didn't even think about chicken/bacon/beef broths being used in my soups and other foods! Then when it was pointed out to me I started checking for clear signs of animal products (no more Ramen Noodles or Stovetop Stuffing, sadly). But I forgot about gelatin until you mentioned it, and now animal testing. Gr. It's easier when I buy products that advertise their ethics on the package (though that's always to be taken with a grain of salt, I'm sure), but I forget to check for so many things otherwise.

I am an avid label reader, not just for the animals but for myself. I like to know what I'm putting on my skin as so many compounds are so easily absorbed, and I'm always trying to avoid products tested on animals or with animal ingredients (like lanolin, which comes from sheep's wool, or carmine, which comes from beetles and is gross). Since there are so many cruelty-free alternatives to the products I typically buy (even for cheap-skates, as White Rain is cruelty-free), I don't see the need to get animal-tested products. Also, companies that take serious steps for cruelty-free products typically also have better work environments for their employees and use more ethically sourced ingredients. It's all connected ( ... )

LUSH cosmetics. I'd be incredibly happy to mail you a sample box for free. 100% vegetarian cosmetics, about 86% vegan, and absolutely cruelty free.

check out lushusa.com if you want and pick out like 5-10 things you'd want to sample.

email me @ francessanti@mac.com with your address.

I have to tell you, I've been a LUSH convert for a long time ... though I've given up on certain products (like the conditioner--Veganese is the only vegan one and I don't like it). But if you still want to send some my way, I won't complain.

PS what happened to the vegan lip balm that came out at Christmas? I thought that was going to be a permanent item.

I accidentally posted an anonymous comment b/c I wasn't logged in, and you can see it when Toni unscreens it. My bad.

Hey, it's not a shameless plug, that is reallly helpful! Let me get back to you when I have more time to browse. You're awesome.

Thanks SO much for the info (and the Ramen/stuffing recommendations). "The important thing to remember is that it's all about reducing suffering." --Absolutely.
