Best Products are Animal Friendly

I have always been an animal lover, but it is just recently that I have begun to pay attention to which companies conduct animal testing and which do not. After doing some research, my idealized disagreement in this method has turned into a fact based determination that animal testing is both ineffective and unethical. The facts are indisputable: animal testing is completely inaccurate. The methodologies used, such as dropping untested formulas into rabbits’ eyes, or applying irritant skin care products on guinea pigs, mice, dogs and monkeys, do not produce the same results as on humans. More often than not, the way an animal reacts to a cosmetic chemical or ingredient is completely different from a humans’ reaction, sometimes leading to an animal having severe skin irritations or a fatal ingestion of massive doses of something that may be completely safe for humans.

I am not trying to preach or convert anyone, but in the interest of the animals I love, I will try to focus on purchasing animal friendly products in the future. There are so many wonderful alternatives on the market today, it really is easy to do. So, keep checking in for articles on beneficial and effective animal friendly products!

Thanks so much.

Best Vitamin Water

Recently, one of my readers sent me new Snapple Antioxidant Water to try. Snapple has long been everyone’s favorite drink, making delicious ice teas, lemonades and fabulous other flavors. Now, Snapple has created a line of nutrient rich flavored waters. At first I was skeptical, thinking that it would be another overly sugary sports drink that didn’t contain much water at all. I am pleased to tell you I was pleasantly surprised!

I received four of the seven Snapple Antioxidant Water flavors: Strawberry Acai, Orange Starfruit, Grape Pomegranate and Rasberry Acerola. Most “vitamin waters” are so sweet you feel like you are having candy instead of something that is supposed to be good for you. All of the Snapple Antioxidant Flavors, had a pleasant, lightly flavored taste that did not overwhelm you and left you feeling refreshed. Each flavor I received tasted unique and delicious.

Snapple Antioxidant Water contains plenty of antioxidants, which are extremely beneficial to counteract aging and to keep your body and skin healthy and young. “Superfruits” such as acai and pomegranate provide vitamins A, B, C and E; minerals and electrolytes keep you more hydrated than water alone. Two flavors also have natural caffeine in the form of Ginseng and Guarana to boost your energy level. All in all, Snapple Antioxidant Water is a well rounded vitamin drink.

With a calorie content of about 140 per bottle, Snapple Antioxidant Water is not a substitute for plain water. But if you exercise, Snapple Antioxidant Water is a perfect complement to your active lifestyle; it will hydrate, protect and replenish your body with nutrients to keep you moving.
