What we eat is a huge part of being vegan, and you would understand that buying animal-based foods supports and encourages the industries that hurt animals and the planet.

✨You may have also realised that being vegan is about more than what we eat.

In relation to personal care and cosmetics, there are sometimes 'hidden' animal-based ingredients along with products that are needlessly tested on animals.

To avoid these, there are a few resources that exist to help you find vegan, cruelty-free products.

For instance:

~ Cruelty Free International's search tool https://crueltyfreeinternational.org/leapingbunny

~ PETA's cruelty-free database https://crueltyfree.peta.org/

~ Logical Harmony has an extensive list of cruelty-free brands and even mentions which companies are 100% vegan, and which ones have parent companies that are not cruelty-free, in case you prefer to support the vegan ones over the non-cruelty-free ones 🙂 https://logicalharmony.net/cruelty-free-brand-list/

By choosing brands and products that contain only vegan ingredients and are not tested on animals, you’re "voting with your dollars" and helping to create a kinder world. 🫰🥰🌱

I got an email from Kinder World today, and this was my reply back.

I've been playing #kinderworld for a while now, and it's a little source of joy in my day. There's no ads (!) and purchases in-game are totally optional. It's a free, cozy #game where you grow virtual plants and practice mindfulness and gratitude. Try it here:

and if you can recommend other chill games (without ads), I'd love to hear about them!

To find happiness, I have to feel safe first. It is difficult to ask anyone to experience joy when afraid to be who they are.

I invite you to create safe spaces that allow us to be authentic and value our strengths and differences.

I am crying with a soft moose in a mental-health app game.

You'll be okay Fern, the writers will make sure of it.

'Those who aspire for a kinder world must not miss this moment, when the pandemic has revealed to us the horror of our moral collapse and of economic and social arrangements that privilege some lives, but treat millions others as expendable. The struggle of our times must be for a new social contract, of people with their governments and people with each other, based on solidarity and inclusion.'
