How to Make Your Halloween Cruelty-Free, Vegan…..and Spooky!

-


Welcome to October, friends!

I don’t know if it’s the same for you but when this month rolls around every year I get excited for one of my favorite holidays….Halloween! The chance to be someone else for a little while, be able to get some candy, and possibly scare some people just sounds so fun! So I wanted to be able to help you prepare for this extra cool holiday by listing some ways that you can make sure the fun that you are having is entirely cruelty-free.  
                                
 Find the Best Treats for the Job

There are quite a few vegan options for treats…but unfortunately quite a few tricks too. Here are a few good options of candy that you can get, and give out on the spookiest night of the year!

Airheads
Twizzlers
 Swedish Fish
Skittles
Sour Patch Kids

Thankfully this is not an exhaustive list, and there are more items that you can find that are vegan, but I thought that these were pretty popular. You also have the option to make your own treats, and that list is even longer! I have found recipes for apple and pumpkin spice treats, as well as different recipes for spooky treats that are perfect for your next Halloween party.

Here are my top picks:

Some of these I think that I just might make myself for a little Halloween party I am thinking of having this year! So yummy and spooky all at the same time!
                                     
Costumes can be Vegan!

There are two ways that this is true; one is that you make sure that your costume is vegan-friendly. The other is you can actually wear a vegan-themed costume, to make talking to people about living cruelty-free even easier!


Cruelty-Free Halloween Makeup

While you might have quite a few vegan makeup items for everyday wear, finding suitable products for your Halloween costume may prove to be a little but tricky. The website Kaylin’s Kit shows that there quite a few vegan options out there for your makeup needs:

Creamy White Makeup: For that perfect ghost or vampire look, Manic Panic and Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics offer creamy white makeup.
Bright Makeup: For face paints, Monave offers two vegan palettes. For colorful lips, check out brands such as Lime Crime, Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics, and Manic Panic. For eyeshadows and other pigments, try Lime Crime, Manic Panic, Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics, Pink Quartz Minerals, and Cheeky Cosmetics.
Black Lipstick: Zosimos Botanicals has a gentle option in a shade called Onyx. Many brands that specialize in colorful lipsticks also offer blacks. Check out Lime Crime, Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics, and Manic Panic.
Bright Hair Colors: Manic Panic offers vibrant hair colors, clip-in strips, and even wigs.

                                      

Vegan Inspired Costumes

Finally, I found some neat ideas for great vegan costumes too, so that you can get people talking about the benefits of veganism, and have a little tongue in cheek fun as well!



Check back next Wednesday 10/18 for more about vegan Halloween candy, and I hope you found this helpful! 

Happy Spooking!

    This looks like a great list that most vegan would appreciaate. Honestly, I didn't know they have vegan costume but I think the daiya cheese dress is cute.

Healthy & Flavorful Vegan Meals

Sometimes it can be helpful to meal prep for the week, especially if you are typically really busy. Here are some recipes that may be good for you if you want to make some good meals for yourself and your loved ones. One meal you could do is take some of the Gardein Chicken tenders and bake those. You can put them over some rice or shredded veggies with some seasoning. I usually put a lemon on the side to add some extra flavor. Another thing that I typically put lemon on is some fishless fillets by Gardein. I had this with some cauliflower rice with lemon and garlic to flavor it. I also decided to have some zucchini on the side for extra vegetables. Another meal I love making wraps with some tortilla chips. For this above, you can stuff a tortilla with cucumber, tomato, hummus, and any other veggies that could be added. This is a great meal that can be healthy but filling. I like to have tortilla chips and salsa on the side as well. The last one that I want to sha

With all of the greener lifestyles that are being adapted all around the world there are tons of questions about exactly what veganism is, and exactly how it pertains to animals. For the vast majority of people it is extremely important to realize that you simply cannot make a sudden change like shifting from eating burgers every day to living a successful vegan lifestyle overnight. However, it is also possible to make some substantial changes that are on the path to becoming vegan and showing animals the respect that you believe they deserve. Many people in the quest to treat animals better are appalled to learn that many countries use some rather unconventional animals as food; this for many people can be action that triggers their desire to change to a vegan lifestyle, however for others it is simply another reason in a long list of reasons. Many countries such as China make usage of animals such as dog for their meals and many times people are unhappy to learn this, how

Sometimes when you are in a pinch it can be a bit of a struggle to eat healthy. Sometimes you run out of produce when you are out and may have to settle for some packaged foods. There are some better options to reach for when you want to get a snack. There are definitely some good brands out there that I love getting for when I have a busy work day. Some of these snacks can be good for dipping in salsa or hummus, or any other dip. A lot of these snacks shown also have other flavors in that kind that are also really good to try out. I love all of the products I have tried by a brand called The Daily Crave so far. I love eating these as a snack with some hummus or you could find any other dip that may go well with this. I enjoy any sort of spread that can be eaten with this and you can also top it with some veggies as well. There are also some other really good flavors including tomato basil, barbeque, salt and vinegar, and sriracha. They have veggie, lentil, and quinoa ch
