Recently, we've been interested in a more cruelty-free, plant-based lifestyle. It's not happening overnight and we have some experimenting to do to figure out how to replace things we currently use with cruelty-free and vegan products.
We're writing this blog to share what we find. We're not the only ones on this journey.
Someday, though, we'll be three vegans!
Some challenges ahead:
Hair color - looks like henna is the way to go but everything I've read looks complicated with uncertain results. Target time frame, Labor Day weekend (2015).Cosmetics - toothpaste, mouthwash, deodorant, shampoo, cream rinse, soap
Household cleaners - toilet bowl cleaner, bathroom cleaner, window cleaner, laundry detergent, dishwasher detergent
Contact lenses - Do they test these on animals?
Eggs - EnerG Egg Replacer looks like a reasonable easily available substitute but our results so far have not been great. We need to do some more experimentation
Yogurt - we use it in our smoothies every day
Cheese - we really love cheese
Dog food - is there an alternative?
Nutrient dense foods - how to create a balance
Time and Money - both in limited supply in our family. Sometimes this pushes us to less healthy alternatives.
