<br />
There are many (positive) changes in my life lately, asking me a lot of energy.<br />
<br />
However, I do not want to give up my blog.<br />
<span class="hps alt-edited">But I am going</span> <span class="hps alt-edited">to restructure it</span> <span class="hps">a bit.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="hps">The idea</span> <span class="hps">behind my</span> <span class="hps">blog</span> <span class="hps">is</span> <span class="hps alt-edited">actually</span> <span class="hps alt-edited">to talk</span> about <span class="hps">non</span> <span class="hps">animal tested</span> <span class="hps">products.</span><br />
Which I will continue to do.<br />
<br />
The animal cause stays in my soul.<br />
<br />
<span class="hps">But more and</span> <span class="hps">more</span><span>, I realize that</span> <span class="hps">if</span> <span class="hps">I want to live</span> <span class="hps">a lifestyle</span> <span class="hps alt-edited">which corresponds to</span> <span class="hps">my values</span><span>, there are not only cosmetics to look at.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="hps">So I want to</span> <span class="hps">expand</span> <span class="hps">a little more the subjects</span> <span class="hps">on the</span> <span class="hps">blog.</span><br />
<br />
I want to talk about a cruelty-free lifestyle in Montreal, to share my little discoveries.<br />
<span class="hps">I also</span> <span class="hps">want to talk about</span> <span class="hps">advancements</span> <span class="hps">in the animal cause.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span class="hps">My goal</span> <span class="hps">is not to be </span><span class="hps alt-edited">the party</span> <span class="hps alt-edited">pooper</span><span>,</span> <span class="hps">but to</span> <span class="hps">share what I</span> <span class="hps">know.</span><br />
<span class="hps">No</span> <span class="hps">graphic image</span> <span class="hps">will be</span> <span class="hps">presented.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
I hope you'll enjoy my blog!<br />
<br />
<span class="hps">I write to you</span> <span class="hps">soon</span> :D<br />

I should forget my phone more often! :-)<br />
<br />
The Humane Society International (HSI) has been working for a long time to convince India to put an end to animal testing.<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>here is the great news !</strong><br />
<br />
<h4>
It will be now forbidden to use animals to test ingredients and finished products for cosmetics in India !!! </h4>
<br />
<br />
It is now MANDATORY for cosmetics brands to use alternative tests methods that don't involve any animals.<br />
<br />
That's a victory for people fighting against animal cruelty.<br />
<h4>
</h4>
<h4>
The war is not won... yet!</h4>
<br />
<span class="hps">Unlike Europe</span>, <span class="hps">the importation of products</span> <span class="hps">cruelly tested</span> won't be<span class="hps"> illegal</span>.<br />
This means a brand will have the possibility to test in another country and then sell its products to Indians.<br />
<br />
<br />
However, if you see ''made in India'', it will be cruelty-free !! (the product, not the brand)<br />
And we all know that brands like to make their products in that kind of country since there's cheap labour there.<br />
<br />
You may read what HSI wrote about this news <a href="http://www.hsi.org/world/india/news/releases/2013/06/india_bans_animal_testing_062813.html" target="_blank">here</a>. <br />
<br />
<br />
We must remember that the animal testing ban law in EU did not apply in one and only step.<br />
Before March 11th, it was the same situation than in India.<br />
<br />
<br />
That's why this new Indian law is great news.<br />
Eventually, even imported cosmetics will have to be cruelty-free.<br />
<br />

The rumour says that we'll have another good news Monday.<br />
I Wonder what it might be ?<br />
<br />
Any theory someone ?<br />

<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixdAUIoWguXGiG3tbPs63-Y2awIk0flua72gaTyo94_n1SKf7mezmxvqJSpL03Pz2NzX6fShy-jQIXIrwpxuYgJoXtSpdXNjb2JHqc_gl7xoddwGsF9tjiMHb8SJHL5MIhQGORqGJmf-c/s1600/IMG_20130611_131155.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixdAUIoWguXGiG3tbPs63-Y2awIk0flua72gaTyo94_n1SKf7mezmxvqJSpL03Pz2NzX6fShy-jQIXIrwpxuYgJoXtSpdXNjb2JHqc_gl7xoddwGsF9tjiMHb8SJHL5MIhQGORqGJmf-c/s320/IMG_20130611_131155.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />
It is meant to enhance lashes by lengthening, thickening and giving them some volume.<br />
<br />
It is pretty easy to find in drugstores and costs approximately 10 to 15$<br />
<br />
100% of the ingredients are natural<br />
44% of the ingredients are organic<br />
Hypoallergenic and fragrance free<br />
Gluten free<br />
Ophthalmologist approved<br />
<br />
It is not vegan unfortunately :-(<br />
There's beeswax & yogurt extract in the ingredient list. <br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
The brand is approved by <a href="http://caringconsumer.com/" target="_blank">PETA</a> and cruelty-free<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I have to say I am satisfied with this product. It does its work and stays there the whole day.<br />
<br />
When comes the time to take if off, it's easy.<br />
<br />
It does smudge a bit though , but since it is not that much, it's easy to correct.<br />
Nothing dramatic.<br />
<br />
The only downside I see about this mascara is that it's not waterproof.<br />
<br />

<br />
Mine is in Black.<br />
But UltraBlack is also available.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
On the web, many compare this Physicians Formula mascara to the Covergirl Lashblast.<br />
Since I do not buy from brands that condone animal testing, I can't tell if it's a good comparison.<br />
<br />

Finally, some advices !</h4>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
To make sure we are well protected, we must choose a minimum SPF of 15.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We should apply the sunscreen at least 30 minutes before exposing ourselves.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Don't forget to put some sunscreen on your ears !</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The moments the rays are the most dangerous ? from 10 am to 4 pm.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
With that, wear sunglasses that protect you from UVA & UVB and wear a hat.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
As you may see in this print screen showing the list as it was in November 2012, HC was there :</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiS4d7BD1-glFjTHqF71ScTTYaHrn6K0SVPVWZJADmte2xEwJocXbpJe5R6KIZQLMpSmoQDrPBl5Y-_K6ETJoNpftRSIc-KoK702eW2nKYobUqCppYwU5wiW5sQQD-PTaubHDyttvLdb78/s1600/PicsArt_1370822221864.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And now, here is a print screen from that same list as of today, June 9, 2012</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Hard Candy doesn't show after Harbingers brand as in the November list...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeWoB5FOBcpjNBtR6PASdpX8Nh1aax8IkrG7knJfAsBXjnRytCCwWmn9BCBeEdg1RqJcOe-neKc9CCkEZvS0iNYD3ZnrCQo4_AzFGKH_v04S7GbqcWyHQqbLb4s4KE2hZKdpoaiOtnB8I/s1600/PicsArt_1370821555427.jpg" /><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
When a brand is off PETA's cruelty-free list, it means the organisation has doubts and serious reasons to believe the brand is not animal friendly anymore.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I boycott Hard Candy.</div>

<span class="hps">But no need</span> <span class="hps">to spend a fortune</span> <span class="hps">to buy</span> <span class="hps">new nail polish colors !</span><br />
<br />
<span class="hps">Here's a trick</span> <span class="hps">I saw</span> <span class="hps">on</span> <span class="hps">youtube,</span> <span class="hps">I don't remember exactly</span> <span class="hps">where.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="hps">You</span> <span class="hps">only have to put</span> <span class="hps">a first layer of</span> <span class="hps">white.</span><br />
<span class="hps">Then you</span> <span class="hps">can put</span> <span class="hps">the color you</span> <span class="hps">want.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="hps">I would suggest the</span> <span class="hps">LA</span> <span class="hps">Colors white</span> <span class="hps">which costs about $</span> <span class="hps">2 at</span> <span class="hps">Jean</span> <span class="hps">Coutu</span> <span class="hps">or the</span> essence <span class="hps">white</span> <span class="hps">at Pharmaprix</span> <span class="hps">for about</span> <span class="hps">the same price.</span><br />
<span class="hps">The bottle</span> <span class="hps">of LA</span> <span class="hps">Colors</span> <span class="hps">is a bit bigger.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="hps">Since we won't </span><span class="hps">see the</span> <span class="hps">white</span><span>, no need</span> <span class="hps">to spend a lot on it :-)</span><br />
<br />

<span class="hps">Obviously, once</span> <span class="hps">you have completed</span> <span class="hps">your manicure</span><span>, you</span> <span class="hps">will not see any</span> <span class="hps">white around</span><span>.</span><br /><span class="hps">As</span> <span class="hps">I did this as a</span> <span class="hps">test,</span> <span class="hps">I have not put much effort into it.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="hps">This technique works well</span> <span class="hps">with</span> <span class="hps">colors that are</span> <span class="hps">already vibrant</span> <span class="hps">but</span> <span class="hps">for which</span> <span class="hps">you</span> <span class="hps">want</span> <span class="hps">even more</span> <span class="hps">sparkle</span><span>!</span></div>

<br />
Why am I talking about tea ? Because animal testing can go that far...<br />
<br />
Around a year ago, PETA found out that Lipton was doing it for its teas.<br />
Thanks to the organisation's work and to the public reaction, Lipton that belongs to Unilever, did put an end to the testing. (only for the tea, not for the other products!)<br />
<br />
If you want to know more about that, you may click <a href="http://www.peta2.com/blog/victory-lipton-ends-cruel-animal-tests/" target="_blank">here.</a><br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLAv0mEUVvprhHYUK7_qmcPXFoNdTJDEoDES7ospcxhc1dgNjMmHbTkiuDrwMDMaDGuScExjkmjgGd_FhWQWGvi5rLWeRFkf59_lRuviYjtv0WIcn26ZTRJtk2XBO2MpMLnIEaZAaQJTc/s1600/SC20121211-121703-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLAv0mEUVvprhHYUK7_qmcPXFoNdTJDEoDES7ospcxhc1dgNjMmHbTkiuDrwMDMaDGuScExjkmjgGd_FhWQWGvi5rLWeRFkf59_lRuviYjtv0WIcn26ZTRJtk2XBO2MpMLnIEaZAaQJTc/s400/SC20121211-121703-1.jpg" width="262" /></a><br />
<br />
That is why I also check teas now. :-)<br />
<br />
I wrote (in french) to David's tea and got an answer that is really clear :<br />
No animal testing on ingredients, formulations or finished products.<br />
They make sure their suppliers don't do animal testing either.<br />
<br />
When you write to a brand, you should always expect an answer that is that clear. That's the only way you'll be able to tell if the brand is Cruelty-free or not.<br />
<br />
<br />
Now, let's talks about the teas!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h4>
Iced teas</h4>
<br />
Since summer is almost here, let's look at some iced teas! <br />
<a href="http://www.davidstea.com/thes-glaces-fr?&currid=cad&LN=EN" target="_blank">There is 39 different flavours at David's tea.</a><br />
<br />
I'm pretty sure you'll find one you will like :) Here are some examples:<br />

I know many of you were surprised.<br />
<br />
Here's an alternative !<br />
<br />
<img class="rg_i" data-sz="f" name="wQWIisxU1NNQCM:" src="https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQo8JSKtkOkQhKVaICzXdJuQjQbYTcJ1kZ9-Z0xCGOT9j672b1Yag" style="height: 80px; margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; width: 144px;" /><br />
<div style="clear: right; float: right; height: 147px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; width: 146px;">
<br /></div>
<br />
Yes, you know that brand.<br />
The famous eraser!<br />
<br />
<br />
Staedtler also makes pencils!<br />
<br />
That's the perfect alternative to the BIC ones<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's been a while since I wanted to try <a href="http://www.giovannicosmetics.com/index.asp" target="_blank">Giovanni</a>'s products.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="hps">I had</span> <span class="hps">heard</span> <span class="hps">very positive</span> comments about it by Tashina from <a href="http://www.logicalharmony.net/#axzz2RtkSg6cY" target="_blank">Logical Harmony</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
She only uses vegan products (that are also cruelty-free of course!).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<h4 class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The product</h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="hps">So I bought</span> <span class="hps">the shampoo</span> <span class="hps">+</span> <span class="hps">conditioner</span> <span class="hps">2chic</span> from <span class="hps">the</span> <span class="hps">ultrasleek line.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="hps">Suitable for all</span> <span class="hps">hair types.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Vegan product and of course cruelty-free.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="hps">Each tube</span> <span class="hps">cost me</span> <span class="hps">$ 9.99</span> <span class="hps">at Loblaws</span>, but it <span class="hps">is also available</span> <span class="hps">at </span><span class="hps">Tau.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="hps">I'm pretty sure</span><span class="hps"> it</span> <span class="hps">will not be long</span> before we also see it in drugstores.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's 250 ml size (same as John Frieda)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The shampoo foams a lot and smells divine.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Smells like vanilla or maybe like a cake!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="hps">The</span> <span class="hps">conditioner is</span> <span class="hps alt-edited">very creamy</span> <span class="hps">and</span> <span class="hps">gets easily into the hair</span>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
These products are pleasant to use.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And what to say about the results ? Silky and shiny hair for the whole day !</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<h4 class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My verdict</h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="hps">I</span> <span class="hps">must say I</span> <span class="hps">thought I had found</span> <span class="hps">THE</span> <span class="hps">shampoo</span> <span class="hps">when I bought</span> the <a href="http://smallrabbithops.blogspot.ca/2013/02/are-you-mistik.html" target="_blank">Mistik</a> one.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But now, I don't know anymore ! <span class="hps">I stay</span> <span class="hps">still very</span> <span class="hps">attached to it</span>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="hps">I</span>'ve never been <span class="hps alt-edited">very loyal</span> <span class="hps alt-edited">to</span> <span class="hps">shampoos</span> <span class="hps">...</span> <span class="hps">I need</span> <span class="hps alt-edited">variety </span>!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="hps">Seriously,</span> <span class="hps">it is good to</span> <span class="hps alt-edited">vary</span> <span class="hps">shampoos</span> <span class="hps">(confirmed by</span> <span class="hps">my hairdresser</span>)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="hps">So I'll</span> <span class="hps">definitely</span> <span class="hps">buy</span> <span class="hps">Giovanni</span> again <span class="hps">(not to forget </span><span class="hps">my</span> <span class="hps">Mistik</span>)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="hps">Giovanni</span> <span class="hps">is officially</span> <span class="hps">in charge of</span> <span class="hps">my hair</span> <span class="hps alt-edited">for the days when</span> <span class="hps">I want my</span> <span class="hps">hair</span> <span class="hps">to be particularly</span> <span class="hps">impeccable</span>!

<span class="hps">I have</span> <span class="hps">never been so</span> <span class="hps">looking forward to</span> <span class="hps alt-edited">my periods</span>!<br />
<span class="hps">Well,</span> <span class="hps">not that much</span><span class="hps">.</span><br />
<br />
Maybe you don't know about this, but Always and StayFree are on PETA's <u>DO</u> test list... <br />
<br />
<span class="hps">That's why</span> <span class="hps">I</span>'m also <span class="hps alt-edited">suspicious of</span> <span class="hps">other brands.</span><br />
<br />
<a href="http://ak2.polyvoreimg.com/cgi/img-thing/mask/1/size/orig/tid/34179125.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img _uid="871" border="0" height="200" src="http://ak2.polyvoreimg.com/cgi/img-thing/mask/1/size/orig/tid/34179125.png" style="height: 200px; width: 183px;" width="183" /></a><br />
<br />
So when I saw that <strong><a href="http://www.natracare.com/fr-FR/" target="_blank">Natracare</a></strong> is available in Quebec + approved by <a href="http://www.peta.org/living/beauty-and-personal-care/companies/default.aspx" target="_blank">PETA</a>, do I need to say I was happy ?<br />
<a href="http://www.vegsoc.org/view.image?Id=698" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="Vegetarian Society Approved logo" border="0" height="137" src="http://www.vegsoc.org/view.image?Id=698" style="border: 0px currentColor; margin-top: 5px;" width="200" /></a><br />
The brand is also <a href="https://www.vegsoc.org/#" target="_blank">Vegetarian Society</a> approved.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<h4>
The product</h4>
<br />
<br />
I found Natracare at Loblaws.<br />
I got it at 3.99$. I think the regular price is 5.99$<br />
<br />

Natracare <span class="hps">have nothing</span> <span class="hps">to envy to other</span> <span class="hps">brands.</span><br />

Knock Knock Knoc?? Is there anyone ???I'm done. I'm fed up. I'm putting Green Beaver on my wall of shame!<br />
<br />
I'm fed up of these brands that think they just can ignore their client's email.<br />
As if the money they earn wouldn't come from our pockets!!<br />
<br />
There are so many brands that don't answer when I ask them about their animal testing policy.<br />
<br />
I work for the Internet department of a huge insurance company.<br />
I do answer customer's emails in their name 5 days a week.<br />
(I have other tasks, don't worry about my mental health!)<br />
<br />
I know that sometimes customers ask quite difficult questions. I don't always know what to say right away to them.<br />
<br />
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT ? I do answer each email.<br />
<br />
<br />
That doesn't seem to be important to do the same at Green Beaver...<br />
<br />
I wrote them twice in the last few months.<br />
I would have asked ''grass'' a question, i would have been more likely to get an answer.<br />
<br />
I'm not asking Green Beaver to tell me what's the meaning of life or if they're capable to confirm the existence of Nessie!<br />
<br />
NO! I'm asking simple questions.<br />

Hey! <a href="mailto:clerck@greenbeaver.com">clerck@greenbeaver.com</a> , if you don't understand the questions, tell me!<br />
I can explain !!!!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
While waiting (let's be honest, I'm not waiting anymore), I'm not buying any Green Beaver product.<br />
<br />
There's a good chance there's no animal testing.<br />
However, this brand doesn't show on PETA or Leaping Bunny's lists <br />
(I haven't find one single trustworthy organisation that has that brand on their good list yet)<br />
<br />
As for their customer service ?? Let's not say anything. <br />
I don't think we'll see them win a JD Power soon.<br />
<br />
<br />
P.S. : Saying on your website ''NOT tested on animals'' doesn't mean anything !<br />
What is not tested on animals ? The final product only ?<br />
<br />
<br />
P.P.S. : There are so many other brands that don't answer... <br />
<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
I plan to visit vegetarian / vegan Montreal restaurants.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="hps">I</span> <span class="hps">wanted to go</span> <span class="hps">eat at</span><a href="http://www.auxvivres.com/en/home/" target="_blank"> Aux Vivres</a> for a while now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I finally went yesterday with two non-vegetarian friends.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="hps">The restaurant was</span> <span class="hps">crowded,</span> <span class="hps">even if</span> we<span class="hps"> went</span> around 2 or 3 pm.</div>

tofu cream - vegelox - hummus - olive tapenade - veggie paté</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
It was served with mini pitas.</div>

<span class="hps">This is</span> <span class="hps">what made</span> <span class="hps">him the</span> <span class="hps">less afraid. E</span><span class="hps">ggplant</span> <span class="hps">and olives</span> <span class="hps">reminded him</span> <span class="hps">of Italian cuisine,</span> </div>

The serving is HUGE!!</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
I suggest you share this plate with someone else.</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And I chose the <strong>Gyro</strong></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(souvlaki-style seitan, tzatziki, tomato, lettuce)</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I absolutely loved it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My friends knew nothing about seitan, so I gave them some bites.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They were surprised by it and both told me it was good.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Paolo came with his 4 year old son with us and the little boy loved it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He kept on asking for seitan.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My Gyro was generous enough for me to be able to give away many bites and have enough for me!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The tzatziki sauce was so good!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is definitively a meal to get again!</div>

<br />
I bought the <a href="http://www.naturallyfreshdeodorantcrystal.com/" target="_blank">Naturally fresh deodorant crystal</a> which I found at Tau.<br />
<br />
<span class="hps">I chose</span> <span class="hps">the roll-on version </span><span class="hps">which cost me</span> <span class="hps">$ 3.99</span> <span class="hps">but</span> <span class="hps">there is also the</span> <span class="hps">120 g</span> <span class="hps">stick</span> <span class="hps">that costs,</span> <span class="hps">if</span> <span class="hps">I remember correctly</span><span>,</span> <span class="hps">$ 6.99</span><span>.</span><br />
This may sound expensive, but let's not forget that most of deodorants are available in 48 to 70g sticks.<br />
<br />
Coming back to Naturally Fresh, it is a <strong>vegan and cruelty-free product</strong>.<br />
PETA approved.<br />
<br />
There is no aluminum (metal bad for us!)<br />
And fits sensitive skins.<br />
<br />
The product is available in many fragrances including Ocean breeze, Lavender, Tropical breeze, Papaya fusion + there's the fragrance free one.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
Also, you can see the pink ribbon on the bottle.<br />
<br />
<br />
It's their way to show they care about making products free of toxins.<br />
<br />
<br />
Naturally Fresh campaigns to make sure we are realizing that detecting the problem sooner is the best way women have to fight breast cancer.<br />

<br />
After all, I get up at 5 in the morning.<br />
I probably was still sleeping.<br />
<br />
At the end of the day, I would say that this product ain't expensive, is vegan, is cruelty-free and does what we expect it to do.<br />
(plus supports a good cause)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I have no negative comments about it besides saying the picture on the packaging is not very interesting...<br />
For those who can't see it on the picture, it is a couple putting deodorant...<br />

<br />
<span class="hps">It does</span><span class="hps alt-edited">n't stop them from</span> <span class="hps">making bags</span> <span class="hps">that look like it.</span><br />
<span class="hps"></span><br />
<span class="hps">In addition</span><span>, they use</span> <span class="hps">environmentally friendly and recycled materials </span><span class="hps">as much</span> <span class="hps">as they can.</span><br />
<span class="hps alt-edited">For instance</span><span>, they use</span> <span class="hps">recycled plastic bottles</span> <span class="hps">for </span><span class="hps">the linings</span> <span class="hps">of their bags.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="hps">Their creations</span> <span class="hps">have already found takers</span> <span class="hps">among people such as</span> Nathalie Portman, Olivia Wilde, Charlize Theron, Eva Mendes et Emily Deschanel to name only a few.<br />
