If you are an avid animal lover like I am, you have definitely seen articles about companies that test their products on animals, and to no surprise, most of the products that I used to use were tested on animals and it made me sick to my stomach to see videos or pictures of rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, mice, dogs, cats and primates-like monkeys, baboons and chimpanzees, being tested on and then killed afterwards because they are no longer "useful" or could develop more problems.

Not all of these animals are used for makeup testing, but they are also used for medical, neurological and a multitude of another testing. If you have ever wondered about if the products you use on a daily basis, test on animals here is the list for you, and then I will give you another list of alternatives. There is really no way to tell whether something is tested on animals or not since the FDA does not regulate “cruelty-free” or “not tested on animals” packaging labels, so companies can put this on their packaging even if the product or ingredients have been tested on animals.

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
