Questionable Ethics

I'll be 100% honest and say that I've ALWAYS been against animal testing for Cosmetic purposes. I can remember writing endless essays about it at school, checking labels for cruelty free logos and actively choosing to to shop in places like the Body Shop and Lush because they were cruelty free. Over the Winter, I carefully checked all labels for any trace of Angora, I didn't want bunnies to have suffered for me to be warm and cosy. I went through a Vegetarian phase and Vegan Phase and I still carefully select my eggs (you can't un-see those tragic images of the factory farmed chickens). I still rarely eat meat but that has more to do with the fact that my tummy seems to have issues with it, not my brain. 

I consider myself a person with ethics. I have values and things I believe in, I give to charity and I try to do my bit. Recently, I decided to start sending out letters for a Charity event which will raise a substantial amount of money for Cancer Charities. The reason I was sending letters was because I wanted to supply goody bags with a few samples and bits and bobs in as a thank you for peoples kind donations.

This Week I'm Reading...

2 Stories about Monsters, a bereaved Tortoise and 1 Bottled Heart...

This Weeks Reading!

I know what you're thinking, 'that sounds cheerful!'. But actually I've really enjoyed get stuck in to these books this week. It started out with me asking my 12 year old brother what he's studying in English at the moment and I was so delighted when he replied 'Frankenstein'. I think Adam got more information than he bargained for as I started rambling on about how much I loved reading it and how thrilled I was with my A-level result for the associated paper (102/104 - oh yeah!). Turn's out that so far, Adam isn't a huge fan of the Gothic horror classic, but it did lead us into a conversation about Monsters. Men and Ethics that was very profound for a 12 year old so I'll let him off! It did however, prompt me to show off my beautiful edition of this book and then I wanted to read it again!
