World Vegan Month: Where it started and a few products to try out

Happy November!!! Today Marks the first day of World Vegan Month, which I just learned has been a thing for quite some time. I did a little research, which you will see below about The Vegan Society, the founder and how they got started. I myself am not fully vegan, but I do eat a pretty heavy plant based diet and I will have meat on occasion. I like to eat consciously and I pay attention to what I am putting in to my body and how it feels after. As most of you know veganism has taken the world by storm in recent years and has become quite the movement. I think that it is great that more people are paying attention to how they are helping not only their body’s, but also the planet that we live on. I’m not saying being vegan will save the world, but in many ways it does help.

I have recently been using more plant based and vegan products in all aspects of my life when it comes to not just food, but skin care and even laundry soap. I have a couple of products that I have been using lately that you may want to check out. I hope they will help you if you want to add something different in to your lifestyle.

November is a big month for The Vegan Society. We are the world's oldest vegan charity, which started in November 1944 when our founding members coined the word ‘vegan’. The first World Vegan Day was created to mark the 50th anniversary of the society, held on 1 November 1994. This was later extended to become World Vegan Week and, as we now know it, World Vegan Month. Every November, World Vegan Month is celebrated around the world as a time to shine a light on the vegan movement. [vegansociety.com]

As I stated earlier, vegan and plant based products have been a lot of my go tos for many years, and I am always looking for different things to try out that will help my body and my life. Here are a couple supplement brands that I have been testing out in the past couple of months, a little bit about them and how they help within the body.

I just started taking Phytolife in October and I have noticed that it has been giving me so much more energy on the days that I am not eating meat and may be missing some nutrients during those times. So far I like them, it has only been a couple of weeks but so far I see things balancing out in my diet.

The Phytolife supplements are very easy to take. In the box you get a 4 week supply (there is a 12 week supply available as well), and they are separated in to little packets with daily labels. You do have to take the supplements with food. I have been taking them once I have had breakfast, and they are easy to take with you on the go!! That always makes things go smoothly.

The next supplement that I wanted to mention is…

It Just Works : Body Deodorizing Supplement

I started taking It Just Works in September. I received it in PR to tryout, then I decided to repurchase in October, because I had started to notice a huge difference with my body odor and the way that I smell, especially after working out. I have tried many natural deodorants in the past and they never seemed to work for me. I do believe that detoxing from the inside out does a world of difference. I still do use regular deodorant at the moment, but as I keep taking these supplements, we’ll see if I will do away with it completely.

The supplements are easy to take and can be taken multiple times a day, if needed.

When ordering It Just Works there are a few options, where you can receive supplements monthly, or there is a deal where you can purchase 365 supplements for the year!!! I am excited to keep taking these supplements, and If you have been looking for something to replace your natural deodorant with… I hope you will check out It Just Works for yourself.

As I learn more and use other products, I look forward to sharing so much more with you!!
