Bug Spray
If there’s one mosquito within a 5 mile radius, it will find me. 🙄 However, this repellant by Meow Meow Tweet works well. I have to frequently re-spray, but it’s a natural way to help keep the bugs away. 🙌

I love this Matcha Lime Exfoliant Face Mask by Meow Meow Tweet. Minty, tingly, and fresh smelling and feeling, my face always feels very refreshed after use.
Facial Cleanser
Cleansing Milk facial cleanser by Juice Beauty has a wonderful scent and a great feel. (And despite the name, it is 100% vegan). It is designed for makeup removal, but I like to use it as my daily cleaner, even when I don’t wear makeup.
Facial Moisturizer
It pains me to say that I use “age defy” anything. 😩 But, of all the Juice Beauty products that I have tried, the Green Apple Age Defy Serum and Age Defy Moisturizer were by far my favorites. Maybe God is trying to tell me something… 🤔 My skin feels amazing after use, and these are now part of my daily skincare routine.

**Raw Beauty is also offering you an exclusive 5% off with coupon code: ACFPB
Shave Soap
Y’all know I love me some Dr. Bronner’s! This liquid shave soap gives you a close shave with no irritation, and leaves the skin smooth and hydrated. My only complaint is the packaging needs a better design, because it can get a little messy. However, it’s well worth it! Lemongrass lime is my favorite scent ever!
Toothbrush
These plant based bamboo toothbrushes are amazing for sustainable living. Brush with Bamboo consists of fully plant based bristles and a bamboo handle. Both the toothbrush and packaging are compostable and biodegradable.
Brush with Bamboo:
- vegan

Toothpaste
Containing no artificial colors or flavors and utilizing natural ingredients to clean and whiten teeth, I really like Dr. Bronner’s toothpaste. I am not a huge fan of the peppermint, but love the Spearmint.

Delilah (41) by Root Beauty is a natural and subtle blush color (pictured on the right).
All powders by Root Beauty are loose, but some powders and eyeshadows are sold pressed also. Then, you can also purchase compacts separately for those pressed powders. The great thing about Root as well is that most products come in trial sizes for you to sample.
Eye shadow
High quality eyeshadow that goes on smoothly and stays all day. I absolutely love Antonym products!
Lipstick
I usually don’t wear lipstick. However, these Tinted Moisturizers by Juice Beauty are great!
Mascara

Pacifica:
- vegan and cruelty free

But, my all-time favorite mascara is by Antonym.
Vegan Lifestyle Products
Book
The Vegan Way by Jackie Day was the very first book I read right after we transitioned to a plant based diet. This was also the book that convinced me not just to adopt a plant based diet, but to start living a fully vegan lifestyle as well. 💚
Jackie has been vegan for over 30 years, so she is extremely knowledgeable and an excellent resource. She provides practical and gradual tips for making the change to a vegan lifestyle. I reference this book often.
Blog for Vegan Recipes
Nora Cooks is one of my go-to places for plant based recipes. Sweet or savory, her recipes are simple, approachable, and absolutely delicious. Every time. Highly recommend! (You can find the recipe for these fully loaded vegan nachos here.)
Cookbook
But I Could Never Go Vegan by Kristy Turner. Witty and humorous, Kristy writes exactly what many of us are thinking. Having worked in the “fancy” cheese industry, cheese was Kristy’s livelihood and something she was passionate about. She admits to claiming for years that she could never be vegan.
Not only is this a how-to vegan’s dream, But I Could Never Go Vegan will make you laugh out loud and find the humor in something as simple as the way we think about food.
The author counters each of our excuses as to why we could never go vegan with amazing plant-based recipes that are colorful, flavorful, and enough to make even the biggest skeptics go vegan. Includes 125 recipes. The tofu chevre cheese recipe is to die for! 🌱
Magazine
VegNews magazine is packed full of vegan products, plant based recipes, and all the latest vegan news.
Household
Cleaning Cloths
These bamboo towels by Eco Being are great for more sustainable living. Washable, reusable, and absorbent, these “un-paper towels” save on lots of paper towel waste.
Dish Cleaner
In addition to being tough on grease, Ecos dish soap is plant based, not tested on animals, and biodegradable. Additionally, their products are produced in facilities that use 100% renewable energy. If you live in the U.S. or Canada, email Ecos your mailing address, and they will mail you special coupons and offers: info@FollowYourHeart.com
Household Cleaner
Plant based, cruelty free, biodegradable, and no harsh ingredients, Better Life is a great all purpose cleaner. Their products are packaged in facilities using primarily solar energy and using recyclable materials.
Laundry Detergent
For liquid laundry detergent, I love using diluted Dr. Bronner’s pure castile liquid soap (or Sal Suds for those tougher laundry needs). See the dilution guide here.
Laundry Sheets
EcosNext liquidless laundry detergent sheets are eco-friendly and biodegradable, and of course plant based and never tested on animals. Each square dissolves completely in all water temperatures and is made without dyes, parabens, and phthalates.
My only complaint is that the laundry sheets come packaged in plastic. However, the plastic is recyclable. And all-in-all, this is the lowest-waste product on the market.
Laundry Stain Remover
All Natural stain remover by Puracy is amazing! Puracy:
- plant based
- certified cruelty free
- natural ingredients; no harsh chemicals
- hypoallergenic
- no perfumes or dyes
- biodegradable products
- recyclable bottles
- give back to community (for every purchase made, Puracy makes a donation to local children and families in need)
Hand Soap
Dr. Bronner’s organic sugar soap keeps skin nourished, hydrated, and smooth–even during those harsh winter months!
Vegan Food Products
Burgers
Among other stores, Impossible Burgers are now widely available at Target. And, if you use Target Circle, they often run additional deals on the Impossible burger patties and ground plant meat.
Cheese
I definitely prefer homemade vegan cheese over store bought, but there are some delicious options! For burgers or grilled cheese, my go-to is Chao. For everything else, I love Miyoko’s or Follow Your Heart.
Chocolate
Not only is Endangered Species dark chocolate absolutely delicious (with lots of different flavor options), but the company also gives back to wildlife conservation. 💚
Coffee Creamer
Silk is consistently my favorite coffee creamer brand. Our go-to flavor is creme brulee. However, in the fall it’s pumpkin spice, and in winter, it’s dark chocolate peppermint. 😋
Meals
When you’re in a rush, Amy’s and Annie Chun’s have really tasty plant based meal options.
Subscribe to Amy’s email newsletter to receive product coupons. Also, sign up for Annie Chun’s newsletter for exclusive deals.
Snacks
Popcorn is my favorite snack of all time. For a healthy, no oil snack, I add ⅓ cup Anthony’s organic yellow popcorn kernels to a brown paper lunch bag, and fold down the top of the bag. Microwave for about 2 minutes, and enjoy! Toss in nutritional yeast for a quintessential vegan treat.
If I’m feeling too lazy to make my own popcorn 🙈, I choose Skinny Pop brand. Another delicious plant based snack is Hippeas vegan white cheddar puffs.
Wine
You just can’t beat this deal at Trader Joe’s! TJ’s Charles Shaw brand red wine is vegan friendly and absolutely delicious for only $2.99 per bottle.
Cooking Equipment
I use these all the time, and couldn’t survive vegan cooking without them! In fact, I use my food processor so often, I’m upgrading to a larger and more powerful one. And still keeping this smaller one because, literally, use all the time! 🙈
So were you able to find some good Black Friday deals? Which of these vegan products are you excited to try? Let me know in the comments below! And happy shopping for all these wonderful vegan products! 🛍 🎁
Pinned some of your recipes for our holiday guests. Does the coconut whipped cream have a strong coconut taste?
And, anti-aging! Good for you for starting early! I didn’t start until later in life and after years of abusing the sun! So keep at it. Have read quite a bit about makeup. Hearing what they put in the products makes me shudder! Formaldehyde in certain products! UGH!! Glue in mascara! Another UGH!! Just to name a few! I read women in Bible times used berries for makeup. We should go back to that! Though the manufacturer would have pesticides on the berries they use!! It never ends. Good to know there’s so many wonderful products out there! Thanks for the study and information! ❤️
Yum, I hope you enjoy! Coconut whipped cream does have a slight coconut flavor, but in my opinion it’s very subtle. I didn’t used to like anything coconut, but the more I eat it, the more I absolutely love it. So I’ve gotten used to the flavor, and it’s now one of my favorite things!
Get to a certain age and all of a sudden it’s time to admit to yourself–you need anti-aging skincare. 🙈 Oh well! There are far worse things in life!
Ingredients in certain cosmetics and skincare is disturbing. And animal testing of these products is equally horrifying and inhumane. I agree–time to get back to basics!
Happy shopping! 🛍
