About Me

cruelty free crystal

Hi! My name is Crystal Sky Vogel, and welcome to my blog.

Cruelty Free Crystal is about living a compassionate, beautiful life which includes feeling beautiful while using cruelty-free, vegan products, exploring plant-based cuisine from around the world, and having fun in the kitchen experimenting with vegan recipes. I hope my blog is a place that will empower you to take the steps to live a cruelty-free life in all aspects and be powerfully uplifted.

I made the best decision of my life when I decided to go vegan, and I will never look back. If you’re a vegan like me, or just trying to be healthier, my blog is your place! You’ll find restaurant reviews, traveling eating guides, vegan lifestyle tips and thoughts, and delicious recipes!

When I was a little girl, I wanted to be a Chef. I had dreams about going to culinary school in Barcelona, Spain. That obviously didn’t happen, but when I found my passion for health and veganism, my spark for cooking was rekindled. Now, you can find me in the kitchen whipping up my latest experiment. My goal is to create a range of vegan recipes for all to enjoy. I eat balanced – meaning when I want something sweet, I’m going to have it! But I also eat nutrient-rich foods that are best for optimal health. Therefore, I share recipes that include sugar, oil, and butter, but I also have tons of recipes that nourish your body from the inside out – and taste good too!

I am an informed consumer and beauty connoisseur whose passion is to share my personal favorites and tips with you that are good for you AND the animals. I have worked in the beauty industry since I was about 17 years old, and have varying knowledge about ingredients, brands, tips and tricks, and industry influencers.

Traveling is my favorite thing to do, and I know how to do it well. I share all things helpful about travel from guides and how-to’s, to descriptive stories about my ventures. With my blog, you can travel the world with me and experience all the vegan food I chase after under the sun and the beautiful pit-stops along the way.

I wanted to create this blog to share my life with others so they can be inspired to live a compassionate AND beautiful life. A life can’t be beautiful without the concern for others living in it.

I am so happy I get to bring this platform to you and live my dream of being a blogger!

Love,

Crystal
