Recently, I have been brainstorming ideas for new segments of my blog. Though reviewing products is my main passion and focus, I would also like to create some new segments of my blog such as beauty/make up tutorials, information about newly released products, interactive forums and other more exciting opportunities to interact with readers. I was recently contacted by New Zealand charitable organization SAFE which is an organization which fights for animal welfare, to ask if I would like to chat with you guys about their new Safe Shopper initiative. This gave me the idea to launch a new segment of my blog called 'Be Beauty Smart'. These blog posts will be aimed at informing and educating my readers about issues such as animal testing etc. I am completely against animal testing, and believe this is an issue which needs to be recognized, especially by the beauty and cosmetics community. If you would like to learn more about the work SAFE does, and it's Safe Shopper resource, please visit http://www.safeshopper.org.nz/. You can also head over to their Facebook page here.
New Zealand charitable organization 'SAFE- the voice for animals' have created a really fantastic resource for consumers to use when they are out and about shopping at the supermarket, pharmacy, or online shopping. The downloadable resource fits perfectly in your handbag and wallet, and provides a list of companies which do not conduct or commission animal testing of any cosmetic or household products or ingredients. Ultimately, the guide will help you become a much more caring consumer, and will also help you identify which products do not test on animals if you are unsure.
Every day, thousands of animals are subjected to cruel, painful experiments to test out new beauty and household products,despite the fact that as many as 8,000 ingredients have already passed safety standards before being tested on animals! On average, around 300,000 animals including cats, dogs, rabbits, dear, fish and many more are experimented on each year in New Zealand. As consumers, we need to stand up for animal rights and be conscious and aware of the products we are purchasing. If we all take a stand and buy animal-cruelty and animal-testing free products, we are helping support animals worldwide! SAFE is working alongside the Humane Society International and Lush Cosmetics, to launch New Zealand's largest global campaign against animal testing. Show your support and sign the petition HERE! Share with your friends and family through email and social media. Together, we can make a difference!
