Welcome to CrueltyFreeMalta.com

Hi! I am Fiona, a Maltese cruelty-free lifestyle blogger living in Germany. This blog was created 10 years ago as part of my New Year Resolution to help anyone who wants to stop supporting brands that test on animals in Europe (mainly Germany and Malta). I hope you find it as useful as other cruelty-free individuals have. If you have any questions or suggestions, please don't hesitate to use the contact option. Thank you ๐Ÿฐโค๏ธ

Germans have this superstition that it is bad luck Germans have this superstition that it is bad luck to wish "Happy Birthday" before the actual birthday. I have a similar superstition about baby showers. Since I discovered the concept I have never wanted a baby shower if I ever was expecting. I'd rather celebrate big once the baby is born. ๐Ÿผ

Last Saturday, my parents were in Offenburg, and my husband and I organised a tea party for both sides of the family. I prepared it as a mini-gender reveal as grandparents were curious to know the gender. How I did it is like this, I decorated the open plan with some self-made crepe-paper pompoms in pink and blue instead of opting for balloons, and baked some vegan gender reveal cupcakes, to start working on my baking and piping skills. ๐Ÿง

If you haven't noticed already from the accompanying photo, we are having a BOY. ๐Ÿ‘ถ๐Ÿผ Yes, that's right, most of you have guessed the right gender. I can't wait to hold him! Around 3 months to go. ๐Ÿคฑ๐Ÿป

As I started this journey to motherhood, I have re As I started this journey to motherhood, I have realised that products like cruelty-free #antistretchmark oil are not that common! That is why in this list I did not focus only on brands that are #certifiedCrueltyFree but I included also those brands that although not certified, were verified as cruelty-free based on my criteria.

โœ… Save this list for the next time you shop!

All of these products are VEGAN as well.

I never expected morning sickness to be this bad! I never expected morning sickness to be this bad! It feels like I experienced a bit of everything: food aversions, smell aversions, nausea and the result of it. ๐Ÿ˜ซ

Two things that made these symptoms of morning sickness a bit bearable were seeing our little one's tiny heartbeat on the ultrasound screen and filling up #theBalanceQueen's #BabyPlanner.

I had wanted to buy this planner since it launched but as I was not sure whether we ever get a baby, I waited.

When the time came, I was not then sure whether to buy it as the planner plus shipping costs from Malta to Germany was above my budget. I did look for cheaper ones on Amazon.

However, as the saying says "you get what you pay for". I already had an idea what sections to expect on The Balance Queen one and was not sure if the cheaper ones have the sections I was looking forward to.

So to avoid getting disappointed for wasting my money on a cheap planner that I had no idea about and most possibly I won't like, I opted for the familiar one.

If you are going through a similar dilemma and have some questions about this planner, please ask me. Also if you would be interested I could write a review about it, as there aren't any yet.

We are pregnant! ... or better ... We are expectin We are pregnant! ... or better ... We are expecting a baby! ๐Ÿ‘ถ๐Ÿป ... as I am the one who is pregnant in reality. ๐Ÿ˜†

Being in my mid-30s I was already thinking it's won't be a possibility. So when we suspected the possibility, we bought one of each different pregnancy test we could find at the supermarket to be sure. Yes in Germany some pharmaceutical products are accessible in supermarkets. ๐Ÿ›’

Next morning I tried one of the tests and in less than 5 minutes it was already showing positive. ๐Ÿ˜€

As it was December when we first confirmed the pregnancy, I called it our "Christmas miracle". Later I found out that it was already in the works in November so I started calling it my "Birthday gift". ๐ŸŽ

Some things I noticed about #pregnancyTests are that pregnancy tests are not that ethical:
โ€ข just like any pharmaceutical product, known cruelty-free ones don't yet exist
โ€ข vegan ones also don't yet exist
โ€ข for some reason most of them come covered in some hard plastic case. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

I could find one #pregnancytest from the brand #Pregnafix which you can say it's a bit ethical next to the rest in the sense that it has too little plastic next to the others, and it works just as good. ๐ŸŒ

So the next time I need a pregnancy test if nothing more ethical is introduced to the market I will go for this model again. ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿป
