Reader Poll : What Brand Information Do You Want To See?

Reader Poll : What Brand Information Do You Want To See?

As you all know, I have an in depth process that I go through to verify that brands are truly animal friendly before I will promote them on Logical Harmony. Through this, I have confirmed that a lot of great brands are animal friendly (either completely cruelty free and/or vegan). Unfortunately, through this I have also found out that a lot of well known brands aren’t animal friendly either. Sometimes it’s a straight up confirmation from the brand, sometimes it’s a refusal to answer my questions, and other times it’s an intentional confusing answer.

I’ve been trying to just share the animal friendly brands with readers, but am now wondering if people would also like to know about the brands that they should avoid too. I really wanted Logical Harmony to be a positive toned blog, but am now thinking that it would be good to make more people aware of the brands that aren’t animal friendly. I’d really love your input on this!

Would you like to hear about brands that aren't animal friendly?

Best of Logical Harmony in 2011

Best of Logical Harmony in 2011

2011 was a big year for Logical Harmony. The site went from being just another beauty and fashion blog to having a fresh new focus. After I decided to live a vegan lifestyle, Logical Harmony also took on an animal friendly tone. It’s been a lot of fun to grow and adapt over the past year. It’s also been great to see what a lot of my long-term readers have also grown and adapted with the changes at Logical Harmony as well. I’m so thankful for all the new readers, companies who have wanted to help my vision, all the other vegan bloggers who have inspired me, and everyone who has been supportive along the way. There are three amazing new contributors to the site and so many new things to share with the readers. I’m really looking forward to the future of Logical Harmon and seeing what’s in store for 2012.

With 2011 coming to an end, it’s time to kick back, sip some vegan champagne, and reflect on the best posts from Logical Harmony over this past year.

These animal rings are just too adorable to pass up. I think that they are a great change from the typical jeweled cocktail right.

The Dark Side of the Beauty Business

While this is a beauty blog, I think that it’s really important to stress that the media and the beauty industry does a lot of damage. After all, it’s what’s unique about you that makes you beautiful. I found this image online and couldn’t resist sharing it with the readers of Logical Harmony.

Juicy Couture Winter 2011 Lookbook

Juicy Couture Winter 2011 Lookbook

If you love jeweltones, sequins, velvet, lace and pops of bright colors, then you are sure to love the looks from the Juicy Couture Winter 2011 Lookbook. It’s a great update to their Fall Lookbook.

I know that Juicy used to use real fur on their items. When I looked over the product descriptions for their fall and winter items the one thing that they all had in common was “faux fur”. It’s really great that they have made that change! Also, while some of the items shown in this lookbook are leather, it’s very easy to find faux leather and suede items. Even brands like Free People now offer many items using faux leather. It’s great to see such fashionable brands becoming more animal friendly.

Cruelty Free Faves : Mira of The Beauty Bohemian

When it comes to cruelty free and vegan beauty, a lot of people picture an earthy-crunchy kind of girl wearing Birkenstocks and whose makeup collection consists of lip balm and mascara. One of the main goals of Logical Harmony is to show that you can still maintain your lifestyle while being animal friendly. In an effort to show that there is so much more to cruelty free and vegan beauty, I reached out to some of your favorite fashion bloggers and asked them to share their favorite items that just happen to be cruelty free and/or vegan.

Cruelty Free Faves : Mira of The Beauty Bohemian

Mira of The Beauty Bohemian is honestly one of the sweetest bloggers I have had the pleasure of meeting. If you’re a blogger in the San Francisco area, odds are that you are familiar with Mira and have seen her at events. This girl has a great sense of style and The Beauty Bohemian is full of great fashion tips and styling ideas. I was really excited when Mira wanted to share her cruelty free favorites with Logical Harmony because I knew they would be great!
