Why not give a gift that makes you feel good this holiday season….or better yet, gift yourself! As pescatarians, we always try to keep a clean, healthy, and sustainable lifestyle, and not just when it comes to our eating. Many popular beauty products are full of unnecessary chemicals and animal products, and some still test on animals. What’s the point of looking good when it is hurting others? So, we put together a list of some of our favorite natural, vegetarian and cruelty-free beauty products that we are sure you will love. And just in time for the holidays...I am sure you can get some great deals on these amazing products!
