PETA X NCLA Nail Wrap Review

PETA X NCLA Nail Wrap Review

By now, everyone has tried the nail wrap trend. There are several drugstore and higher end brands offering cute nail wraps in great colors and designs. However, did you know that NCLA is actually the only line that’s animal friendly? Not only are their nail wraps cute, but they aren’t tested on animals at any point, don’t contain any ingredients that have been tested on animals, and they don’t contain any animal ingredients. Naturally, it makes sense that NCLA would team up with PETA to do a line of nail wraps. With each purchase of the PETA X NCLA Limited Edition Nail Wraps, 15% is donated to help out our animal friends. Not only are these nail wraps already vegan, but buying them will actually help out animals. It’s a win win situation!

When NCLA offered to send me some of these limited edition nail wraps, I immediately jumped on the offer. Since I only use vegan products, I’ve been living nail wrap free for a while. I couldn’t wait to try these adorable and vegan nail wraps!

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.

Logical Harmony has New Contributors!!

Logical Harmony has New Contributors!!

Nearly a month ago, I announced that I was looking for new contributors for Logical Harmony. Since the sites new re-launch of animal friendly content, it’s taken off and generated a lot of really positive buzz. I wanted to bring other people on board to help keep the site moving forward in the current direction. I thought that having one or two people as regular contributors would help keep the content fresh and make it available to a wider audience.

There were lots of really great applications and it was a really tough decision. However, in the end I selected three people to be contributors here at Logical Harmony. Please check out the new contributors here at Logical Harmony!!

Janine of Alternative Housewife Janine of Alternative Housewife – Janine is a a 25-year-old mama and style blogger in Portland, OR. While she is not vegan, having her son is making her consider her families food & lifestyle choices more and more. When it comes to beauty and cleaning products, Janine believes that truly safe and non-toxic is key, and they also have to WORK. Janine loves reviewing products and working with cool earth-conscious companies. She also loves remixing fashion and finding awesome ‘old soul’ pieces secondhand — and believes that great style is possible on any budget. Janine is a work-at-home-mom (web designer & blogger) and is having so much fun raising her toddler! They both love pigs and Sesame Street.

Kaitlyn of The Daily Fancy Kaitlyn of The Daily Fancy – Kaitlyn is a graphic designer, blogger and pomeranian enthusiast. She loves dancing to jazz music, lives for the summer and prefers brunch over any other meal. Calling Philadelphia home, she continually falls in love with her city on a daily basis as she discovers a new favorite lunch spot or a quaint, tree-lined street. She also owns The Daily Fancy, a highly-curated design and fashion blog featuring editorial-esque layouts, cruelty-free obsessions and the occasional personal style post. With an affinity for luxury and an untamed love of shoes and handbags, The Daily Fancy proves that being cruelty-free doesn’t mean you can’t continue to channel Coco Chanel nor that you have to sacrifice quality. Kaitlyn believes that fashion is about being smart; and that beauty always comes from within. She’d love for you to share her world and check up on what new product she’s coveting or what interweb find she’s currently inspired by.

Shannonmarie of Rawdorable Shannonmarie of Rawdorable – Shannonmarie a.k.a. Rawdorable is a 30-something wife, mom and fun-loving, mostly raw vegan foodie. Although not perfect, she tries her best to carry over her healthy eating habits into the other facets of her life. She won’t wear leather or fur, and likewise, opts to keep animal products off her skin altogether (with the exception of the occasional bee product, which she wishes some of her favorite products would reformulate to avoid them, too). She prefers to be as natural as possible (which is why a bee product may win over one with more chemicals), while still being a “girlie girl” type (a girl has got to express herself, even if it means sometimes sporting cruelty-free vegan nail polish, which is never totally natural). Her toddler daughter, who already likes to make and wear her own edible lip gloss, keeps her young, much like her diet, exercise and love of a good quality, natural, vegan moisturizer. The two of them share their finds, food and experiences on their blog, Rawdorable.

I’m really happy with my decisions. These three ladies are all great bloggers who are really passionate about their topics of choice. I’m really excited to have them on board!

Tropical Traditions Coconut Oil Review & Uses

Tropical Traditions Coconut Oil Review & Uses

Coconut oil is a product that I’ve been interested in for a long time. I kept hearing about what a great multipurpose household item it is. From cooking to beauty products and even cleaning – coconut oil is definitely a product with hundreds of uses from one jar. When Tropical Traditions offered to send me a jar of their USDA Certified Organic Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil I couldn’t wait to try it.

I used coconut oil for cooking and for some beauty uses as well. I was really happy with the Tropical Traditions Coconut Oil. A little bit really goes a long way, so the 32 ounce jar is a great value. It’s definitely a product that I will continue to purchase in the future due to the variety of uses.

Read more to see my favorite uses for Tropical Traditions Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil.

1. Moisturizer – This stuff is absolutely amazing for keeping your skin soft and moisturized. I especially loved using it as a cuticle cream. My boyfriend uses it to keep his ears moisturized when he isn’t wearing plugs in his lobes. It’s also great to use as a lip balm. A little bit goes a long way when it comes to moisturizing. I’d love to try mixing coconut oil with essential oils in the future for this purpose.

2. Deep Conditioner – Coconut oil worked wonders to make my hair soft. I’d massage a couple of tablespoons into my hair, focusing on the ends of my hair, then cover with a plastic bag and leave on for at least an hour. Shampoo two or three times with a gentle shampoo, condition, and you’re left with super soft strands.

Burt’s Bees Natural Skin Solutions for Sensitive Skin Review

Burt's Bees Natural Skin Solutions for Sensitive Skin Review

I’ve been an avid fan of Burt’s Bees chapsticks and was excited to try out their new Sensitive ‘Natural Skin Solutions’ line. I have incredibly sensitive skin – I break out easily especially to new products or ones with fragrances and on top of that I have eczema. First off these products claim to be fragrance free – I definitely would agree with that they do not have a perfume like fragrance at all, but that isn’t to say that they are scent-less. I’d describe the smell as being slightly like medical lotions. The cleanser was difficult to get use to because since it is soap-free it doesn’t lather and it made me concerned that my skin was not clean afterwards.

Reviva Labs Makeup Primer Review

Reviva Labs Makeup Primer Review

There are few makeup items that I feel are more necessary than a good primer. It helps your makeup go on smoother, stay in place, and last through the day. But finding a cruelty free and vegan primer? One that actually works? I was worried that I might have to throw in the towel and give up primer all together. Thankfully, Reviva Labs offers a cruelty free and vegan makeup primer that works just as well as the expensive and non-vegan types I had grown to love.

Beautisol All Seasons Glow Self Tanning Lotion Review

Beautisol All Seasons Glow Self Tanning Lotion Review

There are few beauty products that I would I love as much as self tanning lotions. I used to use L’Oreal Sublime Bronze, but sadly L’Oreal is not a cruelty free company. I had a really hard time finding a self tanning lotion that was both cruelty free and vegan. However, I wasn’t going to give up. I am not one of those girls that is okay being pale. Even in the winter. This is why I was so happy when I found out that one of my favorite self tanning lotions, Beautisol All Seasons Glow, was already PETA certified as both cruelty free and vegan.
