Living Cruelty-Free

What does it mean to live cruelty-free? Is it limited to a plant-based diet? Is it about not wearing fur coats? Does it have anything to do with animal rights? Technically the answer is all of the above, but not limited to the given definition.


Living cruelty-free means living free of cosmetics or other commercial products manufactured or developed by methods that involve experimentation on animals. People normally associate the term cruelty-free with cosmetics or self-care products, but there's so much more that goes into it.

Traveling Sustainably

Being a sustainable traveler isn't limited to just promoting the local economy. It's about thinking of sustainable choices for yourself and the place around you. You can practice sustainable travel by looking for a travel option that will be"sustainable" for you, such as a vegan culinary cruise. And while you're on that journey, make yourself more aware of the world around you. The best example we can give is not riding elephants when you're in Thailand. It's all about mindfulness, these elephants weren't made for our entertainment, and it should stay that way.

Switching to a Plant-based diet

Mind you; there are many levels to veganism. Veganism is not explicitly parallel to the word tree hugger. Veganism is the practice of abstaining from the use of animal products, particularly in diet. Making the switch to a plant-based diet shows respect for animals and animal rights. Many vegans also do not eat foods that are processed using animal products, such as refined white sugar and some wines.


Limiting the amount of waste that you produce

The way we take care of ourselves should not negatively harm the environment. Animals are a fundamental part of our environment, thus living cruelty-free also encompasses a certain awareness for the world we live in.

Check the label before you buy

We've all fallen victim to this before, seemingly cruelty-free brands that advertise themselves as the opposite of what they are and what they do. It wouldn't hurt to do a bit of research or take some time to read the label before you toss it into your cart.

Living cruelty-free is much easier and sustainable than you think, especially when you have options like vegan travel, plant-based food, and non-animal tested products that are readily available on the market.
