Pocket Guides
To round out this “Baker’s Dozen” blog series on cruelty-free favorites, some additional resources for you to use on your own.

The web sites listed below give you a choice of ordering one or multiple guides to be mailed to you, or downloading the guide in pdf format. I’ve included the URL addresses that will take you straight to the guides in downloadable form. Print out, fold, and tuck right into your wallet!

I leave you for now with the following thought: Making more animal-friendly choices when it comes to your everyday products can be an adventure… without driving yourself (and everyone around you) crazy.

And as you discover new products, cruelty-free favorites of your own, I encourage you to share your finds with family and friends.
Check back with me mid-October before you buy all the Halloween candy! I’ll be posting a blog with suggestions for cruelty-free sweets and treats.
