BAD BRAND ALERT!!! ***DOVE***

Hey Lovelies!!!

I wanted to take some time out to bring awareness to the DOVE brand. Why? Because DOVE TESTS ON ANIMALS. I know their commercials for the cream body wash, deodorant or what not seems enticing but before you buy please read the following excepts taken from peta.org:

"PETA has now set its sights on other companies such as Unilever (the company that owns DOVE), which has conducted studies in which piglets were purposefully infected with E. coli toxin in order to induce intestinal fluid loss and mice were purposely fed a high cholesterol diet and had cuffs placed around their carotid arteries to inflict injury."


Even now, with all our technological advances, animals are still being forced into restraints and under the knife in the name of "science." Here is another story of some of the inhumane things that other labs, like Unilever would do:

"...veterinary witnesses would later testify in court, many of the monkeys had been operated on for a crude experiment in which their backs were cut open and their nerves severed.One timid little monkey named Billy had both his arms broken and was only able to move by pushing himself along the bottom of his cage on his elbows to get to his food.

The abuses that the Silver Spring monkeys endured were not isolated incidents. Millions of animals are used in experiments every year. All species of animals, from chimpanzees to cats, are used, and more often than not, they are acquired without much thought, housed in abysmal conditions, and denied anything remotely similar to a natural or comfortable life. You can help stop this abuse by making simple lifestyle choices. Cruelty-free living means using all your purchasing power for good"



Horrible right? If this made you as angry as I, here's what you can do to help stop this - Click HERE to sign a petition urging DOVE to stop its animal testing.


Wanna ditch DOVE but don't know where to start? I have some great suggestions for you!

Instead of using the DOVE deodorant brand, try AVON's deodorant!!! Avon has a vast selection of deodorants that I personally have been using for years. Here is a link to may favorite one...best of all? Right now its on sale for $0.99!!!!! Here's the link:

BUY THIS DEODORANT

Instead of using DOVE's lotion and or body wash, check out the selection that Bath & Body Works have. I looooove their lotions, the salt scrub and body wash, their so creamy and moisturizing. Also, you can run the shower gel in the bath tub to soak yourself in after a long and stressful day. It feels so good!

If you need any other suggestions let me know! Again, I really want to reiterate that I do NOT judge you if you choose not to be cruelty free, I only want you to be aware. You are not any less of a person in my eyes whether you buy from these brands or not, I respect your choices. And for those who have chosen to live cruelty free, and support this cause, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Hope you ladies found this informative and have a wonderful day! :)
