Dryer Sheets: The Honest Company Honest Dryer Cloths

(Did you know that most brands of dryer sheets contain animal fat?! Ever wonder what that greasy, waxy feeling came from?  Sometimes it’s not enough to just have the product not test on animals…The Honest Company’s dryer sheets are vegan and plant based!)

About 2 years ago, I decided to start transitioning my beauty and household products to cruelty free products. There is a HUGE space in my heart for animals, and I remember sobbing while reading this article (not graphic) about Tommy the Beagle, who spent the first four years of his life in a lab.  Right after reading, I started researching the products I was using, and started looking for cruelty free alternatives.  You would be surprised how many companies test on animals.

This is the first of many posts that I will share to assist you in making the transition to cruelty free!

PETA has an awesome search engine on their website where you can look up which companies test or do not test on animals.  You can find it here: PETA Search Engine.

Please think of all of the precious animals, and join me in switching to cruelty free!

Up & Running

All of my posts so far have introductions referring to my surgeries, but that’s my life right now!  Trust me, I can’t wait for it to be done either!

I have known for years that I would need these foot surgeries, so at a certain point I decided to push through workouts with some slightly worn out running shoes.  I didn’t want to buy new ones that might not fit comfortably after the surgery adjustments.

You better believe that since completing the surgeries, I’ve been scoping some out!

Loving all of the bright color combos…

Saucony Womens Guide 7 Running Fit

Dual Fusion 2.0 Nike Nordstrom

Nike Womens LunarEclipse+3 Dicks SG

Gel DS Racer10 Asics Nordstrom

Free 5.0 TR Fit 4 Nike Nordstrom

Last, but certainly not least…

Free 5.0 V4 Nike Nordstrom

I have been OBSESSING over these cheetah Nikes for foreverrrr.  Literally, like a year ago, I was pinteresting while the bf was watching football (typical), and I was like babe, I NEED these.  Luckily now that I am actually in the market for some new sneaks, it is actually a NEED.  Seriously, gimme.

Top to Bottom:

Saucony Women’s Guide 7, Nike Dual Fusion 2.0, Nike LunarEclipse +3, Asics Gel DS Racer10, Nike Free 5.0 TR Fit 4, Nike Free 5.0 V4

Hope you’re having a great weekend!
