OMG! As the holiday season is approaching I’ve got so many great finds to share with you all that I’m {happily!} overwhelmed. So, I’ve decided over the next few weeks leading up to the holidays I’m going to share with all of you some great holiday gift guides full of awesome gifts that just-so-happen to be free of animal-testing and animal-cruelty (because, c’mon…I’m not into that shit 😉 ).
But first…on to something very exciting today….a Bai5 antioxidant drink GIVEAWAY!!
I’m excited to announce that I’ve teamed up with the people over at Bai5 to offer my readers the chance to win a case filled with one of each Bai5 flavor. ONE OF EACH. That’s TEN big 18 oz bottles all for FREE! Bai5 is a five calorie, naturally sweetened, antioxidant infused drink that gives you the yummy taste of juice or flavored water but without all the nasty chemicals, preservatives or processed sugar. My favorite flavor is the Tanzania Lemonade Tea. Yum! The giveaway is happening over on my instagram account and it’s simple to enter. Head over there (@tedi.sarah) for instructions on how to enter for your chance to win!
But that is not all that’s happening this week…I’m also crushing on these favorite finds as well…
Glossier! Glossier is the new skincare + beauty line from Emily Weiss, the creator of the wildly popular beauty site Into the Gloss. Glossier’s motto is “Skin first. Makeup second.” And let me tell you they know what they are talking about when it comes to skin first. My friend Umaimah works for Glossier and recently she showed up to dinner with absolutely glowing skin and right then I knew I needed what she had on. So I got to test out the Glossier priming moisturizer and perfecting skin tint…and wow. Here’s what it looked like on me below:
This stuff is really pretty stellar. Normally, I would never be caught dead without bronzer because I am one pale, scary monster come winter, but in this pic I only have on my skin the priming moisturizer and perfecting skin tint…so what you’re looking at is bronzer-free, foundation-free, blush-free, yet miraculously even-tone, skin. Can’t believe it. Total game changer. Totally obsessed. And of course, Glossier is never tested on animals. Check Glossier out!
I’m also loving this week…
This list of thirteen yummy vegan risotto recipes. Which to try first?!
Cruelty-free hair color at the Sam Brocato Salon in NYC. Lots of people have asked me what color products are used for my blonde highlights and I can happily say I’ve found a color product line that has great results and is never tested on animals. The Sam Brocato Salon is located at 42 Wooster St. in Soho and their products are used at salons throughout the country.
Now, I’m not sure if I just forgot the past few years about how great H&M can be or what but I popped in there recently and got some killer faux leather boots, a faux leather jacket and a down-free, stylish wine colored puffy winter jacket with rose gold colored details. Fab all around. Make sure to read labels at H&M because some of their products are made with animal products…but most aren’t! 
Comfortable, cute and kind…what more can ya ask for?
Have a great start to your weekend and don’t forget to head over to my instagram (@tedi.sarah) for a chance to win a free case of Bai5 antioxidant drinks!
