If you are anything like me, you want to be cruelty free in your cosmetic use. For some time, I have been trying to find the perfect, cruelty free brands. I wanted to know that there wasn't an animal being tortured so that I could have a pretty face. Whenever I see a rack of makeup or a makeup counter, I try to find products that have not been tested on animals and I come up shirt every time. I recently made a full transition to cruelty free cosmetics.

Here are some of the cruelty free brands that I use and where to find them:

1. theBalm

The first time I came across this brand, I was shoppping on Amazon. They have a selection of theBalm products that you can get delivered to you if you, like me, do not feel like leaving the house all the time. This brand can also be purchased at makeup counters in Kohls and on Kohls' website. theBalm also has a website on which you can examine their products and buy them if you desired to.

2. W7

This brand has wonderful, bold eyeshadows, which I find sometimes lacks in cruelty free brands. This is another one that I have stumbled upon in one my Amazon "window" shopping sprees. I have found this in Bealls and TJ Maxx on occasion. W7 also has a website that you can peruse for your makeup needs.

3. LORAC

This brand has amazing contour palettes and liquid lipsticks. This is a little bit pricier than the others I have listed, but I have found it to be worth the cost. I purchased this brand's contour palette at Kohls, but it can also be purchased at Ulta. I have even come across this brand on Amazon.

4. e.l.f.

You have probably seen this brand at many drugstores. It is on the cheaper side of the makeup spectrum and had some good products. I use e.l.f. primer, setting mist, and mascara. I have yet to be disappointed by this brand. I have found e.l.f. in Target, Walmart, KMart, Walgreens, and, sometimes, TJMaxx. I have also purchased e.l.f. products on Amazon.

5. NYX

The first time I bought this brand's prducts was in Target. I love their eyeshadow primer, matte lipstick, and their eyeshadow. I have found their products at Ulta and CVS. These products can also be bought on Amazon and the NYX website. In some areas, NYX has its own stores where you can but these cosmetics.

If you are unsure as to whether or not a brand is cruelty free, you can always contact them directly to find out that information. Keep in mind that not all cruelty free brands are Leaping Bunny certified, because that can raise the cost of the products.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
