What is cruelty-free?

“Cruelty-free” is a term coined for labeling products and chemicals that haven’t been tested on animals for the last 5 years. While science evolved in many aspects with the help of new technologies and methods, many scientist in the food, beauty, home hygiene and petfood industry are still using the primitive method of research that has been around since Roman history (2nd century) commonly known as animal testing, in vivo testing or vivisection.

As the nights are starting to get cold in Offenbur As the nights are starting to get cold in Offenburg, I started my leg cramp prevention routine before going to bed. On random nights I tend to get leg cramps. It's a painful sensation that I end up shouting and waking up my husband. It somehow happens more regularly during cold nights. Many have told me that it is usually caused by lack of magnesium. So I started taking pumpkins seeds whenever I remember, and as soon as I discovered the #BetterYou #Magnesium range, I started stocking up. . 📍@mknaturalandorganic . 🌱 BETTER YOU MAGNESIUM SLEEP BODY SPRAY 💭 You are meant to spray it on 5 and gradually 12 parts of your body nightly to make up for the magnesium we loose daily. It also meant to help you sleep. Another reason why I went for this version first. As long as I apply it, I don't seem to get any leg cramps up until now. With regards to the sleep part, it doesn't seem to work much on me. 🌱 VEGAN: Yes 🐒 PALM-OIL: No 🌾 GLUTEN: No 🌰 NUTS/SEEDS: Yes (grape seed oil) 🥜 SOYA: No ☣️ PARABEN: No ⚗️ INGREDIENT COUNT: 7 ♻️ PACKAGING: Recycled plastic mist spray bottle. Packed in a cardboard box. 💰 100ml @ €14.40 ___ DISCLAIMER: Product featured was purchased. . . . . . #crueltyfreemalta #veganmalta #crueltyfreegozo #vegangozo #veganbeautygozo #veganbeautymalta #vegansinmalta #veganoffenburg #offenburgvegan #veganortenau #ortenauvegan #veganschwarzwald #schwarzwaldvegan #kinzigtalgoesvegan #badenwuerttemberg #BadenWürttemberg #veganbadenwürttemberg #veganbadenwuerttemberg #vegandeutschland #vegangermany #veganwerdenwaslosdigga #veganbloggerin #beautybloggerin #glutenfreemalta #palmoilfreemalta #soyfreemalta #betteryoumalta #maltameatfreeweek
When I started my blog, I had no intention to stop When I started my blog, I had no intention to stop meat or even eat mostly vegan. My aim was to just avoid animal-tested products and stop there. I started then challenging myself to try to eat vegetarian, also because I was not a big fan of cooking meat myself.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So mostly I was eating vegetarian as a challenge and not to have to touch or smell raw meat. Nowadays I probably can ask my husband to cook the meat for me. So why would I want to keep on avoiding meat?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ One main reason is that I don't want to support factory farming. The factory farming issue can be seen as an environmental issue area of occupied land, CO2 emissions, etc. An ethical issue, as animals are killed.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Can also be a health issue as due to mass production, the animals are not treated well, fed cheap food, injected with loads of vaccines, and all of this goes into the human who is enjoying his/her steak.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Plus have you ever noticed a pattern in diseases such as Mad Cow Disease or Swine Flu, etc? All caused by factory farming.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You might suggest to me to opt for biodynamically farmed meat as these farms tend to be careful about how animals are treated and what they are fed. Also, these farms tend to have a small number of animals. To tell you the truth, I did consider it but not for meat. Biodynamic farms, in my opinion, are always better than factory farms. However, my current decision is to keep on avoiding meat completely.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My reason might not convince you but I don't see it fair to pay a "hitman" for my food. If I am not comfortable killing the animal myself, I don't see it fair to pay others to do it for me. That is how I see it and I don't expect you to see things the way I do. I admit that do have a strange way of logic. 😅 If you happen to be slightly convinced, are you willing to take the @maltameatfreeweek challenge next month?
My husband wanted to go out and eat breakfast. So My husband wanted to go out and eat breakfast. So we went to a newly opened cafe in Offenburg. It replaced a cafe, which I tried as much as possible to avoid since they had no food options for me. This new cafe had a lot of breakfast options but not yet a vegan option. As I saw that they had the same #veganeflammkuchen that I had ordered few weeks earlier from another cafe, I thought of asking if they could arrange a vegan breakfast for me. However, it did not seem to be possible. So I opted for the #veganflammkuchen. . 🌱 VEGAN FLAMMENKUCHEN 💭 Although I was prepared for a breakfast, it was a good alternative. I felt stuffed after so I suspect it was bigger than the one I tried from another cafe. 🌱 VEGAN: YES⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🌾 GLUTEN: YES⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🥜 SOYA: YES (the cream)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 💰 €6.70⠀⠀ 🤷🏻‍♀️ ORDER AGAIN: YES⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📍@cafe.wolke ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🇩🇪 LOCATION: Offenburg, Germany⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🌱 100% VEGAN: No⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🏠 EATERY: Café⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 👩🏻‍🍳 SERVICE: Good⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🌎 SUSTAINABILITY: No issues to report.⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🤷🏻‍♀️ VISIT AGAIN: Yes . . . .⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #vegangermany #veganoffenburg #vegandeutschland #offenburgvegan #offenburg #kinzigtalvegan #kinzigtalgoesvegan #vegankinzigtal #kinzigtal #schwarzwald #schwarzwaldvegan #veganschwarzwald #ortenauvegan #ortenau #veganortenau #veganbadenwürttemberg #veganbadenwuerttemberg #BadenWürttemberg #badenwuerttemberg #deutschlandistvegan #deutschlandblogger #veganbloggerin #germanyvegan #bloggerin_de #offenburg #visitoffenburg #veganflammkuchen #veganflammenkuchen
While in Bonn I got to taste veganised German and While in Bonn I got to taste veganised German and Austrian food. 🌱 HAUSGEMACHTE KÄSESPÄTZLE (Homemade Käsespätzle) In my opinion it tastes like the original if not better. The part I did not like is default German salad it comes with. I find German salad to be too vinegary for my stomach. 🌱 VEGAN: YES⠀⠀ 🌾 GLUTEN: YES⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 💰 €12.80⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🤷🏻‍♀️ ORDER AGAIN: YES . 🌱 KÖNIG LUDWIG BURGER (King Louis Burger) My husband ordered this burger. I just took the last bite to taste it. From my husband's reaction I thought it won't taste good but as a non vegan he was expecting a meat taste I think. It was really good. I then told him that if he was looking for a meat taste he could have gone for the Beyond one. 🌱 VEGAN: YES⠀⠀ 🌾 GLUTEN: YES⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 💰 €7.90⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🤷🏻‍♀️ ORDER AGAIN: YES . 🌱 KAISERSCHMARRN MIT APFELMUS (Kaiserschmarrn with Apple Sauce) In our wedding we were supposed to have this Austrian dessert. However not vegan. Other items were vegan. As I was already full with the mains I did not approach the dessert table on our wedding. So when I saw vegan Kaiserschmarrn in this restaurant's menu I took the chance to try it. So we ordered a portion to share. Good that we ordered one portion as it was a lot and very filling. Later I read on Wikipedia that usually it is also eaten as a main during lunch 😅 🌱 VEGAN: YES⠀⠀ 🌾 GLUTEN: YES⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 💰 €5.80⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🤷🏻‍♀️ ORDER AGAIN: YES . 📍@kaiserhuettn⠀⠀⠀ 🇩🇪 LOCATION: Bonn, Germany⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🌱 100% VEGAN: YES⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🏠 EATERY: Vegan Restaurant 👩🏻‍🍳 SERVICE: Good⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🌎 SUSTAINABILITY: YES⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🤷🏻‍♀️ VISIT AGAIN: YES⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . . . . . #bonnvegan #veganbonn #vegandeutschland #vegangermany #germanyvegan #deutschlandistvegan #deutschlandvegan #nordrheinwestfalen #northrheinwestphalia #veganwerdenwaslosdigga #veganig #veganholiday #plantfueled #vegankaiserschmarrn #veganbombs #vegangotgame #plantbasedlunch #veganwkäsespätzle #veganappetizer #whatveganeats #happyvegan #vegantravels #veganblog #vegantraveler #veganbloggerin #bloggerin_de #bonndeutschland #bonnstagram #bonn #kaiserhüttn
