Hold onto your puppies and bunny-rabbits! In this episode, Kristen and Kyla talk about the cruelty-free movement, which addresses animal testing. Topics: what cruelty-free is (and what it isn’t); is animal testing necessary for household or personal care products (no); the cruelty-free labels; and cruelty-free apps. Kyla and Kristen take a challenge that was popular amongst beauty Youtubers in 2017. (How do you do, fellow kids!)

In this episode, Kristen and Kyla sink their teeth into the ethics of dental hygiene — toothbrushes, toothpaste, floss, and mouthwash. Topics: Kristen wants to feel the burn; what’s in toothpaste, anyway; toothbrushes and the environment; and why it is so hard to get a waste-free, fluoridated toothpaste. 2/2 podcasters agree that Kyla’s homemade toothpaste should not have been sweating.

In this episode, Kristen and Kyla tackle the question on every millennial’s mind: will I be sent to the Bad Place for drinking almond milk? TL;DL: no. Topics: alternative milks and their amazing rise; the alt-milk OGs; and which alt-milk is best for people, animals, and planet. We also provide amateur-tips on making your own alternative milk, so you can avoid our mistakes. No dogs were milked in the making of this episode.
