I was recently in my local Walmart and noticed several of the brands there in the beauty section are cruelty free. I've decided, provided I can keep said brands in my memory and I can make sure to actually follow through, to go cruelty free with my makeup/skincare/haircare etc. I've already made a start in a way; the most recent things I've purchased have been cruelty free without me knowing it. I don't intend to go vegan or anything, I just kind of want to stop purchasing those brands that test on animals. Why purchase those brands when there's so many good ones that don't? Even drugstore stuff! I mean....I have some of their products already and I have to say, besides my Maybelline Color Tattoo's and my CG mascara, they've got to be my favourites. Like NYX - their eyeliners have got to be the best I've found so far. And Hard Candy? Their primer works better than the Revlon one, in my opinion, and it's cheaper, and cruelty free! Physician's Formula, which I haven't tried, is less expensive then Revlon or CG, even Maybelline, and they are cruelty free too. So really it won't be that hard.
I tried a while back going vegetarian, which didn't really work, but I find that I do eat less meat than I used to, and I'm more careful about what kinds of food I order say in a restaurant, because if I'm given the choice between fettucinne alfredo and a burger, I'm probably always going to choose the pasta. I of course, indulge like the average person, and enjoy a good burger now and then, but I find it's when my body is really, REALLY craving it, and then I know that maybe I have low iron or something and that's why I'm needing it. In which case, I do indulge, because what's life without the little things, and why not, once in a while? I'll be honest, I shouldn't eat crap like that because I am overweight and I shouldn't be eating shit that continues to feed that overweightness. Is that a word..? It is now! Anyway....what I'm trying to say is I know better. Sometimes though, I just can't help myself, and really, once in a while is not so bad. Yes, on an average day I try to eat right, or well at least, and usually don't eat that much. I do feed my caffeine addiction with London Fogs, mochas, teas, lattes...but doesn't every working class individual? Coffee is the backbone of most people's lives. It's a good thing. It's actually been proven that it helps regulate digestion etc.
And yes, I should exercise more, but it's hard when you're a manic depressive and when you get home from an 8-9 hour work day (depending) you don't want to do anything else. I really should get out there and do some walks or something. I play Just Dance now and again. xD;
I was looking through my old posts and realized that I used to end each post with a picture, a song, and a quote. I'm going to start that up again, though maybe it'll be just be a lyric instead of a song, or a photo instead of a quote, whatever. I'll end the post with something, anyway.

For today, here's a song I've recently been loving. My favourite line is "I'm just a puppet in my own play."
