We may need cosmetics - But they Don't!

Hi All,

As much as I love to make my posts fun and cheerful this one is going to take a slightly different tone. I feel this is some really important info that I need to share and put out there for all of you that do read my posts.

I will and never have condoned the practice of animal testing within the cosmetic industry, however recently I shockingly discovered a list that in plain black & white outlines the companies that still use these disgraceful techniques and I do admit I HAVE purchased from some of them without realizing their involvement in this disgusting,cruel and torturous behavior. 

So what am I going to do to make a difference?

Below I will post the list of companies that DO test their products on animals and from this point on I will:

A) No longer purchase items from these manufacturers

B) No longer review products produced, endorsed or marketed by these manufacturers

C) Do my best to spread the word about these companies and prevent others from purchasing their products.
