A handbag made from grapes? Stella McCartney debuts new leather alternative
As a nonvegan, I never really gave a second thought to the idea of using leather products. Besides the vegan alternatives never really seemed to hold up. I mean, squeaky pleather pants and bags that peeled didn’t hold up to the quality I saw in leather. In a debate of the ethics of using animal…

Maybe washing your face in the morning isn’t necessary
I must admit to you now: I am not the kind of person who fully cleanses her face in the morning. I am more in the camp of let’s do a full routine at night, including cleanser and all the other steps. Then in the morning, it’s just a little refresh. But because I have…

The online community also chimed in, laughing at the disrespect of tiny sample sized products. The common refrain was that for that much money, the company should be ashamed. Yes, $3000 is a…
