Holiday season is here! You are probably rushing to get your girls nice gifts… but don’t know what to get them? This year feel good about what you are buying, take the vegan option! And no I am not talking about food. Why support the poor treatment of animals that goes into products when you can feel good about your purchases. 

Say No More to UGGs 

Sure UGGs are popular shoes, dating back to when we all were kids. It seems like UGGs never go out of style. Do you know the truth behind UGGs? Sheep are killed brutally to get their skin and wool for the boots. Workers are paid by the hour, causing them to rush and treat the animals with no respect and heavy painful violence. People are wearing UGGs without truly knowing the industry. Three million lambs die every spring so you can walk around with boots. If you care about animals and want to support a brand that is working towards change, but still want the comfort and style then go to BearPaw. https://www.peta.org/living/personal-care-fashion/ugg-boots/

Why pay hundreds of dollars when you can pay half for cute BEARPAW boots? Go and get them today. https://bearpaw.com/loki-vegan-hickory/ 

PETA says Louis Vuitton Skin Crocs Alive

Louis Vuitton is one of the most popular luxury brands in the world. What many people do not know is the cruelty behind the brand towards animals. Reptiles ARE KILLED ALIVE in Indonesia, where most of the reptile skin comes from. The reptiles feel pain, just like us humans would if we were skinned alive. To support a brand that continuously contributes to the inhumane violence towards animals is terrible. 

Angela Roi Luxury Vegan Handbags 

With high quality handbags are vegan leather, a bit expensive, but cheaper than Louis Vuitton bags. Beautiful fashionable purses are definitely worth checking out.

People often go towards popularity without looking into the dark secrets of the brand. Now you know the truth and have alternative options, go shop away!
