Your new favourite guide for all things kind.
The Vegan Shoppe embodies nearly a decade of research, passion, and expertise dedicated to cruelty-free, vegan living. It's an ever-evolving, curated collection of conscious vegan goods – your one-stop destination, your ultimate guide, and your newfound vegan confidante, well-versed in exceptional products and invaluable tips.
As I venture into my ninth year of veganism, sustaining a lifestyle free from animals in my diet, products, and fashion choices, I've encountered numerous blunders, scrutinized countless labels, and acquired my fair share of lackluster products.
If you're committed to embracing a kinder, more compassionate, and cruelty-free existence, rest assured that I've undertaken the groundwork on your behalf. I've ventured through exhaustive trials of skincare products, leaving a dent in my wallet; meticulously scoured the internet for ethically-crafted vegan fashion pieces; and, in an act of unparalleled selflessness, tasted copious amounts of vegan chocolate and confections (admittedly, that part was rather enjoyable!)
My Promises to You
Vegan and Cruelty-Free, Always.
The products I highlight will unfailingly adhere to the principles of being 100% vegan and cruelty-free. This might seem obvious, but I take this commitment seriously. In a world where marketing experts strive to obfuscate the clarity surrounding cruelty-free, sustainability, and ethics, I sift through the noise. I scrutinize each label, pore over ingredient lists, examine company manifestos, and even reach out to companies when necessary. Be assured that any product you find on the Vegan Shoppe will always be vegan AND cruelty-free.
2. Promoting Products I Believe In
Over the years, I've experimented with many vegan products, spurred by the anticipation that they would be exceptional. Regrettably, more often than not, I found myself deeply disappointed. Advocates of cruelty-free and vegan lifestyles ardently champion vegan products, a commendable endeavor. However, unless a product exudes deliciousness, effectiveness, beauty, or fulfills its intended purpose, singing its praises serves no genuine purpose.
This is a long and convoluted way of saying: trust me. I will never endorse a skin care product that doesn't have my personal seal of approval. Makeup recommendations will only be extended if I believe they are formulated exquisitely. I will only proclaim a particular chocolate as the pinnacle of its kind if I truly deem it to be. With an abundance of remarkable vegan products at our disposal, there's no need to laud the average ones.
3. Always Evolving, Always Growing
The Vegan Shoppe is, as we all are, always evolving. My recommendations, are always changing as I discover new great products, expand my knowledge of supply systems and discover new compassionate brands.
