Twisted Sista is a line from London-based brand Urban Therapy. Urban Therapy is a unique company in that they target the millions of multi-ethnic women (mixed, Black, White, Asian, Hispanic, etc.) who have special hair care needs.

Cruelty Free, Vegan & Homemade Goodies from Batty’s Bath
Vegans and coffee lovers take note! My latest obsession is with uber-adorable Jamie, a fellow animal lover and homemade, cruelty-free, eco-friendly, fair trade beauty product-maker from Canada!

Every woman knows what it’s like to be caught wearing fabulous, but very painful shoes at the end of a long night. Sometimes, I just don’t care anymore – I’d rather go barefoot than suffer one more agonizing minute. Instead of going au natural, do yourself a favor and bring backup. Kushyfoot Flats To Go [...]

Avon–the Cruelty-Free Company that Loves Women!
Long before we discovered the joys of internet shopping–and before we spent our days browsing the aisles of the cosmetics über-emporium–we’d look forward to visits from our friendly neighborhood Avon lady. If it’s been awhile since you’ve checked out a catalog, you might want to take another look. In 1989, Avon became the first major [...]

My Top Three Cruelty-Free Lip Balms/Glosses
My passion for lip products took a wild turn last season after I counted a total of 17 lip products in my purse at one time. Since then, I’ve narrowed my obsession down to only a few select cruelty-free lip balms/glosses that I find “purse worthy” enough to carry with me wherever I go. If [...]
