WHAT’S THE STORY BEHIND YOUR LOGO?

I got to a therapy group and I love this part of a quote about processing emotions and our mental health that makes us unique: “…you may be tulip in a rose garden.”
 

Why did you go cruelty-free?

I wanted to challenge myself and buy from cosmetic companies that do not test on animals, do not test on animals when required by law, and/or do not test from third parties. If you're active on Facebook then you must have seen videos of what animals look like when companies test on them, and I've seen photos of what animals look like once they're tested on. It's disgusting, it's cruel, and not acceptable. It breaks my heart seeing animals being exploited in such a way only to benefit humans. There's alternatives to animal testing and I believe the U.S. should begin using those methods. It's important to show support for companies that are doing good in addition to being socially responsible, ethical, sustainable, charitable, and cruelty-free.
 

Well, obviously you have some things that aren't cruelty-free?

Yes. My boundary in terms of having things that aren't cruelty-free is medicine. I have a lot of health conditions and cannot steer away from treatment. 

I think one of the unique traits about my blog is that my content is coming from someone who is also transitioning to cruelty-free, (aka me) and it's me going on this journey with you. 

Who takes your photos?

Patrick Pugeda, Vanessa Lomibao, Kc Johan, Sabrina Quiapo, Jessi Christmann, and my cousin Celestine Largoza.
