The Heart of VIVUS

Hello readers! My name is Abigail Galloway, and I am the founder of VIVUS handbags as well as the only current author of this blog. 

The heart of my brand and blog is the idea that compassion for animals does not have to be an all or nothing gig. I learn more about the use of animal products daily, and how I can do my part in reducing the use of animal products as well as products that test on animals in my life.   The biggest takeaway I want to provide is that it is okay to start small, and while the food industry is a huge part of the picture, there are many other avenues of your life that are grounds for change.  My goal is to open more people's eyes to the behind the scenes of many everyday products, while also continuing my own journey with all of you!

Throughout this blog, I will discuss current events related to animal welfare, animal product use throughout the fashion industry and swaps for these trends,  how to implement cruelty-free products into your skin, hair, and makeup routine including product suggestions, and much more.  As I said above, I want to learn from all of you as well so please feel free to reach out through email or social media if there is a specific topic you would like to be covered, product suggestions to try, or really anything to do with my blog or brand!
