It's no secret that our pets mean the world to us, along with the other animals…the scaly ones included. It's also well known that many of us love our skin care and makeup.

But, did you ever stop to think if your cosmetics were pet-friendly?

It's really eye-opening when you go through your products and start looking up which ones test on animals, and which ones don't. Thankfully, when I sat down and did just that I found that my favorites were indeed cruelty-free!

So what are my go-to products?

Primer

I am, (un)fortunately, blessed with Italian skin…meaning I have a pore situation going on! Which is fine because I use NYX's Pore Filler. It goes on smooth and leaves a smooth finish. I will admit that I was a ride-or-die Benefit PoreFessional gal, but after finding out that Benefit is not cruelty free I made the switch to this less expensive and animal friendly dupe.

Foundation

My current love is Urban Decay's Naked Skin! It is perfect for this Florida heat I live and leaves my skin feeling covered and not weighed down.

Contour

Wet N' Wild's Contour Stick. It's cheap, pigments, easy, and, of course, cruelty-free!

Blush

Glossier's Cloud Paint! This stuff goes on like a dream, and stays pigmented all day!

Setting Powder

NYX's HD Finishing Powder – swirl it around onto my Morphe (also cruelty-free) Brush and set my face!

Eyeshadow

Tarte's Tartlette In Bloom palette is everything! So many stunning shades to choose from that are not only perfect for summer but perfect for all skin tones!

Mascara

NYX's Worth The Hype – I just love the application brush on this one!

Eyebrows

Anastasia's Brow Wiz! The name speaks for itself – truly a wiz and good to our furry friends…and the animals too!

Setting Spray

Urban Decay's All Nighter – truly an all nighter!

I know we all may see ourselves as just one person, but as one person, I am happy to be aware of the products I am buying and spread the word to help our animal friends! So next time you want to try a new product, do your research and see if it's worth it.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
