Autumn is coming | BEDS 3

The nights are drawing in, the cold is approaching, and summer is coming to a close. But fear not, Autumn is on the way and there's a lot to be excited about.

Big, baggy, woolly jumpers - there's nothing better than curling up in a baggy jumper on a cold evening in front of the TV.

Hot chocolate - it's always a good time for hot chocolate, but Autumn makes it feel that extra bit special.

Vegetarian cosmetics brands | BEDS 2

But how are cosmetics vegetarian if you don't eat them?

Many times I've been looked at like I'm an alien when I don't use something with the excuse 'it's not vegetarian'. However for a lot of people, being a vegetarian is more of a lifestyle than a diet. As we grow up we decide for ourselves where our morals and beliefs lie, and where the line between right and wrong is. This is different for everyone and for me I don't eat meat or it's derivatives, I don't wear fur or leather and I also use vegetarian cosmetics.

So what are vegetarian cosmetics?

I accept cosmetics as vegetarian if they say on the packet 'suitable for vegetarians' or if it is stated on the company's website. I also make sure that the company doesn't test on animals. These days there is an increasing availability of vegetarian products, many of which are very affordable, here are some of the brands I've come across.

BEDS 1 (Blog every day in September)

I watch a lot of Youtubers and one thing that's fun to do is VEDA (Vlog every day in August), as well as the other variants for each month. It's a way of putting up a bit of content each day and ends up with random creative videos that would have never otherwise been put up. Dodie Clark has just completed VEDA on her second channel doddlevloggle and you should definitely check it out because she is so lovely and talented.

Today I was looking over my blog, which I haven't posted on in months, and thought about how I wanted to get into writing more posts again. When suddenly it struck me, why don't I try posting every day for a month. Then I realised the abbreviation would be BEDS and thought what a great idea. So here it is, my first installment of BEDS.

Seeing as it's already a day into September, I won't have completed 30 BEDS by the end of the month. My aim is to do at least 20, so stick around and we'll see what I come up with!
