I guess I should introduce myself...

Hey there.

This blog has only been up a few days, but I've had more hits than I was expecting, so I thought it polite to introduce myself!

Me

I'm aware I'm not very photogenic, so I'll save my face for a later date! I work part-time, and I spend a lot of time reading.  That camera was given to me couple of years ago for my 22nd birthday, we've been on some adventures together. Here is a photo my camera took of Stockholm

Good work, camera

I decided to blog about products I like, that also have a good ethic. Using products that are cruelty-free and organic/natural is important to me, because I think chemicals are more harmful then some people give them credit for.  About a year ago I was reading that a lot of what you put on your skin gets absorbed in to your body. A couple of days later I find myself looking at an ingredients list of letters and numbers with no idea what they stand for, and begin to have a crisis about washing my hair. Of course, not all chemicals are going to be harmful, I thought to myself. They've been tested. I looked at my hamsters playing on their wheel together (before one decided he hated the other so much he had to chew his leg, and now they live separately...), and actually for the first time thought about how products are tested. Dropped in to their eyes, mouth, nose, ears, rubbed in to their skin. Animals weren't made for testing these products, and if I don't want to support this, then I have to be actively against it, I think.

So that's a brief introduction. Please feel free to introduce yourselves. Social media was once my foe, but now I think it's a great way to interact with new people, share some views on the world, talk about Sherlock (seriously, is it coming back or not?!)...

Refreshments will now be served in the foyer, please let me know if you have any questions, and thank you all for coming.
