Bonjour Victorian Woman

2012-03-15T00:15:00.001-07:00

Inspired by art, Gothic literature, legends, mysteries and the Victorian era, Manuela creates masterpieces all of which are handmade in France.

She infuses the flattery of women's fashion during the 1800's into a modern day fetish for Victorian style.

The era recalls solid bodice, evening gowns with low neck lines, off the shoulder, sheer shawls, opera length gloves, wide pagoda sleeves and small hats perched toward the top of women's heads.

Victorian Woman was founded in 2009, designing exceptional pieces paying attention to detail, focusing on quality, appearance and exclusivity.

The stylish accessories she offers includes corsets, hats, jewelery, lace, belts, capes and gaiters.

Luxurious fabrics of silk, satin, taffeta, bracade and lace uphold the unique standards of Victorian fashion Manuela uses in her designs. The jewelery is crafted with real gemstones.

Her designs are produced in limited numbers to preserve exclusivity.

Have you ever heard of a family so eager to change the way they had always ate boring vegetables, they decided to invent their own alternate source of protein without the harming of any animals or the environment in the process?

Welcome to Fry's! Born in the heart of Kwa-Zulu Natal, the East Coast of South Africa, is a family who prides themselves in producing meat alternatives. So, here is how they get it all going together. They believe in waste minimization, which is commonly not practised within meat factories.

Lets look at some interesting facts about the The Global Food Industry

According to the book written by Jonathon Safran Foer, nearly 50 billion land animals are factory farmed each year. The factory farming industry is shaping our ocean ecosystems and our earth's climate.

Factory farming is an animal confined to a space, having them immobilized for the entire period of the time they are considered alive, only to have them moved to their death and and onto our plates.

Then I took a closer look into what factory farming actually is, the typical cage for laying hens is approximately sixty-seven square inches of floor space. What do we know about this? Well lets imagine us being in a crowded elevator, with a little window and regulated heating conditions.

It is considered that although most of us will never tolerate animals being tortured, we ignore the fact or push the thought of it to a place in our minds that prevents us from thinking about it whilst consuming it.

Fish

A closer look at sushi, it holds all other types of bycatch which included on your plate can span up to 5 five feet across. Tuna having 145 species killed, shrimp operations throws 80 to 90 percent sea animals back to sea dead, dying or as a by catch.

Chicken

There are two types Broilers and Layers, each with two distinct genetics and engineered for different functions. Both are called chickens layers make eggs with their output having doubled since the 1930s. Broilers make flesh- they have been engineered to grow twice their size in less than half of the time under these conditions their daily growth rate is around 400 percent, living up to 6 weeks whereas the life expectancy ranges from 15 to 20 years. .

Male offspring of layers serve no function and in the United States alone more than 250 million chicks are destroyed a year.

Eating Animals is a great book to read with an in depth venture into factory farming, taking into account the social, economic and individual choices one makes and the impact on livestock and our ecosystems.

Organic Cosmetics with a Cheeky Streak

2011-11-23T16:32:00.000-08:00

We all (wishful thinking), well most of us have a special soft spot for our fluffy little friends, be them hamsters, puppies or kittens. We all want to look and feel good, but how many of us really think about our skin care products we purchase, and where they are derived from?

I had started out for some time researching (still do) where the food I buy really comes from. One thing is for sure though, once you've read all the gory details and watched the horrifying videos, there is no way I could sit back with all of it, already-sunk-into-my-conscious, there was no way my conscious would let me sit back and say everything is fine...

Then I got onto my next journey of seeking out companies who are out there making a difference, out there putting in their heart and soul to make the difference.

Have you ever heard of a product that is natural, handmade, organic, animal friendly, vegan (I stress that), equals is good for you and makes you look good (in my head at least)?

Well there are the people who are moved by a conscience, who vision the world a better place and take the action to do it. I came across Cheeky Cosmetics during my research and I was taken aback by the initiative, the drive, and the sassy chic cosmetic line produced from vegan products and are animal friendly (whoop whoop!!).

The cosmetic line features products from eyes, lips, cheeks, face to Dollar samples! There are cheeky little kits that are priced well too.

The products are made from scratch! It sure does set Cheeky Cosmetics apart from the rest leaving the socially conscious consumer feeling relaxed and confident in buying a product that is still fun, trendy and leaves her feeling glamourous both from the inside out.

We all love to look beautiful, for me looking beautiful is knowing there hasn't been a fluffy little friend being tortured to make me look good, if that is the case, I'd sure as well feel very ugly about it!
