At first, going vegan can be hard and overwhelming. There are so many different products and different brands and you don't know which ones are good or if they're just labeling their products as "good." It's scary, I know. I've said for a while that I was going to go vegan but I would always get so overwhelmed from reading all the labels and trying to find products that were both good and still met my needs. So even if you aren't wanting to completely make that jump into the vegan lifestyle, here are 11 plant-based, vegan products that everyone needs to have in their life!

1. Deodorant

Some studies have been released with regard to the linkage of antiperspirants and deodorant to breast cancer and Alzheimer's. While some of these results remain inconclusive, I've been using a plant-based deodorant for about six months now and I highly recommend it!

2. Shampoo

Most shampoos can be harmful to your hair and cause buildup that weighs it down. Plant-based products help eliminate some of these worries. Get Maui Moisture's Heal & Hydrate shampoo here!

3. Toothpaste

A lot of common toothpaste have harmful ingredients that most people don't realize, so switching to a plant-based non-toxic toothpaste is life-changing. Get Hello's natural toothpaste here!

4. Dry shampoo

Many people have claimed that popular dry shampoos have been known to cause hair loss so switch to natural dry shampoo just to play it safe. Get Love Beauty and Planet's dry shampoo here!

5. Sleep gummies

Sometimes if my brain is running too much at night and I can't quite turn it off enough to go to bed, taking these melatonin gummies always help to put me to sleep. Buy Hello Bello's sleep gummies here!

6. Sunscreen

If you are not wearing daily sunscreen every day, please do your future self a huge favor and start TODAY!! Buy Sun Bum's sunscreen here!

7. All-purpose cleaner

A lot of popular house cleaners have many harmful ingredients that are toxic to breathe in. Using natural cleaners are a very easy way to cut these toxic chemicals out of your life. Get the Puracy all-purpose cleaner here!

8. Body lotion

Lotions can also contain things like silicones and parabens which aren't good for your skin. Using natural plant-based lotions will help you feel more moisturized than ever before. Get Hempz's body lotion here!

9. Lip gloss

Lip gloss is something I use almost every single day so knowing that I'm using a plant-based product that isn't tested on animals always makes me feel better about using it. Get Kopari Beauty's lip gloss here!

10. Lipstick

Mented is a black-owned vegan beauty brand that is crushing the game! Get Mented's red lipstick here!

11. Perfume

Most vegans get a bad reputation for smelling earthy or musty but I can guarantee that won't be a worry this amazing perfume! Get Pacifica's perfume here!

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
