Even If You Aren’t Going ‘Full Vegan,’ These 11 Things In Your Life Should 100 Percent Be Plant-Based

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

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
