This includes lipsticks, foundations, eye shadows and mascaras, as well as a number of other products.

Barry M Velvet matt nail polish: Silent cove blue

There is just something about having my nails painted that makes me feel like a Real Woman. I just feel a bit more put together and polished...no pun intended.

How to keep pets cool in the heat

Don't get a dog unless you have the time … Continue reading The Pros and Cons of owning a rabbit →

Cats Protection: Stop the Big Kitten Con

I believe there are many different ways to promote activism and to be an activist for a cause you care about. As such, I do my best to sign as many petitions as I can, in the hope that our government will actually pay attention to the issue at hand and begin making changes to … Continue reading Cats Protection: Stop the Big Kitten Con →

Are pets vegan friendly?

I was on the internet late at night and came across a vegan discussion thread where someone had commented that you cannot call yourself a vegan if you have a pet. Their whole argument was that vegans should not do anything that exploits or causes an animal to be exploited, and by having a pet … Continue reading Are pets vegan friendly? →
