♥ Pure Citizen! ♥

Today is a quick post but I felt that it was time I shared this wonderful company. I have mentioned Pure Citizen a couple times previously, but today I will elaborate. 

Pure Citizen is a flash sale website with a heart, dedicated to giving back. It's a daily email featuring a carefully curated selection of the best in cruelty free beauty, organic fashion, fair trade accessories and more! They put items on sale every week by a couple different companies, usually with a 72 hour sale. The savings are huge, which is always lovely, but they also have a special donation feature that gives the customer the choice to save a little less and give the difference to their featured non-profit cause. From the companies they feature to the non-profit organization every week, thought and care have gone into the decision of each one. The companies featured are committed to making the world a better place, whether it's by earth-conscious practices, vegan lifestyles, building communities, or so much more, these companies put the planet first and make it more affordable for customers to get their hands on eco merchandise.

How it works: Every weekday members receive an email (called their Daily Love) filled with the inspiring stories of their featured company with the exclusive access on Pure Citizen to purchase their hand-picked selection of items that are 30-90% off. 

They also have a really easy symbol system on each item so you can see which items are vegan, organic, fairly produced, handmade, recycled, eco-conscious, cruelty free, made in the USA, and/or one of a kind. 

"These companies have heart - they are providing employment and job training for the underprivileged, building wells, reducing global pesticide use, saving children from slavery, rescuing women from prostitution, creating healthier products, and are overall committed to making the world a better place.

I wanted more than anything to share these stories, and make it easier for you to support these amazing companies.  We are a small team - committed more than anything to running a company with love, putting people and the planet first." ~Pure Citizen

So check them out and sign up for their newsletter so you too can take advantage of their lovely deals. :)

♥ Wednesday Favorites: Vegan Websites ♥

Whether you want to know more about being Vegan, need more support or information regarding being Vegan, or are just plain looking for more resources, these websites are some of my favorites that are worth checking out. 

☆ Vegan Action: This site is amazing, full of tons of information regarding anything Vegan. They have a great section of why you should go vegan (for the animals, the planet, and your health), a resources section to help you along your way, even more resource links, Vegan FAQ's, and their campaigns of some awesome work--including being responsible for the awesome Vegan Certification!! 

☆ Sarah's Place (a vegan curios shop): Ok, so I LOVE Sarah Kramer's cookbooks ("La Dolce Vegan" & "How it all Vegan") and her fun personality is pure awesomeness, so obviously I had to include this website in the list. It is seriously a MUST for Vegans. You can find "a quirky collection of modern and vintage curios items; from her favourite vegan products to rare vintage artifacts to the bizarre and of course you can also purchase Sarah’s autographed cookbooks - personalized just for you!" She also has a super fun daily Blog. There's a Store too ~_^. Oh and did I mention she's Canadian. ♥ 

☆ Viva Granola: Is essentially your source for all Vegan products. You can find anything you could desire right on this wonderful site. They have everything; clothing, food, cosmetics, body care, candles, kitchen items, books, DVDs, jewelry, pet goods, anything and everything. Self-described as "Canada's Vegan and Cruelty-free Shopping Experience." 

☆ Karmavore: Ok, so first off, the name Rocks! Secondly, the site is adorable, easy to navigate through, and equally rocks! This one is another Vegan Store, with clothing & footwear, food, some body care, cleaning supplies, and books. Everything you need all in one place. Win! 

☆ Vegan.com: As it says on the website; cutting through the BS. This is a great source for information, articles, and even has a recipe section. 

☆ GoVeg.com: You'll either love me or hate me for posting this one, but whether Vegans like PETA or not, they are a great source for information and inspiration. I may not agree with everything that they do, but they are responsible for a huge number of people going Vegan (myself included) and at least get you thinking on many animal-rights topics. This website has tons of info as well as a Vegan "Starter Kit", a getting to know animals section, their in-depth "meet your meat" video, environmental impacts, and of course lots of recipes! This is a GREAT source for anyone interested in learning more about the animals on your dinner plate and that first kick to go Vegan. 

Got any favorites you'd like to share? ^_^

Peace & Love
