It's safe to say the past few weeks have been a little bit chaotic and so I sadly haven't had time to compile the positive news stories but this week I'm back with stories covering all sorts from alcohol to LGBT.

My Favourite Ethical and Sustainable Blogs For All Your Sustainability Needs

Over the past year, I have found myself looking at what others in the sustainability industry are talking about to decipher where the next sustainability movement will come from. From plastic straws and coffee cups to fast fashion, they have been discussed for far longer than what most people are aware of.

I haven't written a beauty review in what seems like forever but I thought it was about time I shared some of the great products that I have found and tried out over the past six months, which are of course, cruelty free.

I love having a tan, but sadly this year due to my masters, the opportunity to firstly have a holiday or secondly get out in the sun is exceptionally limited which is why this year I decided to try out some fake tans instead. Fake it till you make it, right?

Beauty's Dark Secret; Animal Testing By Big Brands

An issue I have always had close to my heart is animal cruelty. That maybe quite clear to many people as I did a degree in Zoology and my passion for animals is second to none. Recently though, I have had a lot more time to consider what I wear from clothes to makeup and the more I learn the more shocked I am by the beauty world.

We know enough about how products work and the chemicals that have been put into a lipstick or eye shadow that the animal isn't required yet animal is still testing taking place!
