Thanks to Australian fashion company Huntd, ethical business women can now run the world while looking fierce in a pair of âkillerâ vegan heels.Designed with working women in mind, the shoes feature classic colors like black and nude, in timeless, sophisticated styles. Some of the brandâs shoes also have a hidden platform, so a busy work day wonât cause sore feet. Nadhisha Lu, founded the business three years ago after struggling herself to replace leather. âIâve always had a love for shoes, and had a huge collection growing up. In high school, I always used to say my dream job was designing shoes!â After struggling to source ethical fashion goods for years, Nadhisha quit her full-time corporate job in 2015 to design, create and market designer vegan shoes. DOWNLOAD THE RAISE VEGAN APPLE APP On Huntdâs website, the former leather handbag designer explains she stopped buying animal products in 2013 after watching a PETA x Stella McCartney video on the leather industry. She became frustrated that it was âdifficult to find shoes that were well designed, made ethically and were as eco friendly as possible. So I decided to design my own.â Originating as a lifestyle blog, her venture developed into a successful label offering a range of stylish vegan heels. âI wanted to design a collection that first and foremost aligned with my values as an animal lover and secondly my love for fashion,â Lu said. DOWNLOAD THE RAISE VEGAN GOOGLE PLAY APP Huntd strives to be three things, kind, ethical and fashionable. The companyâs first priority is to defend the animals. On the website, they explain âAll animals deserve to live a peaceful life, free from pain and torture. Unfortunately millions of animals live miserable, torturous lives, brought into this world by the same hand that will ultimately kill them in the most horrible ways for the sake of fashion.â Huntd will never use leather, silk, fur, wool or any type of animal product in their designs for their vegan heels. The company also donates 5% of their profits from the shoes to charity each month. Huntd uses materials and resources that are ethical and environmentally friendly. The workers in their factory are paid and treated fairly. The company says âOur factory is located in Chengdu, China. Our factory has 9 office workers and 21 factory workers. It was important for us to work with an ethical factory so we conducted a 2 day third party audit to ensure the ethical practices of this factory.â WANT YOUR MAGAZINE IN PRINT?

The company pledges to âcontinue to look into non plastics and even more environmentally friendly materials as we develop our brand into the future.â âThere is a common misconception that vegan or ethical fashion has to be boring! We agree to some extent, but as a while, this is just not the truth!â At Huntd they believe that vegan fashion can be trendy, stylish and luxuious. âHuntd aims to design well made, luxurious shoes that one day may parallel Louboutin, Jimmy Choo, Christian Dior, Sophia Webster or Aquazzura.â So there you have it, if youâre looking for some killer vegan heels, definitely check out this company!

That’s right, a London pub is set to release a vegan superfood stout.
The Shoreditch-basedLong Arm Pub and Brewery will serve a vegan avocado craft beer, named the Millennial Stout on tap. The guilt-free vegan superfood stout will be available at the Worship Street location from November 5th, to celebrate World Vegan Month. The Avocado Stout is brewed using dark malts combined with a creamy avocado flavor and aroma, and will be on sale for £5.50. DOWNLOAD THE RAISE VEGAN APPLE APP Long Arm Pub and Brewery is famous for its unique beers, and they pride themselves on recipes made without additives or chemicals. Even better — the brewery has a very low carbon footprint, because all beer is produced and consumed onsite. The pub offers a large selection of vegan food in addition to its vegan superfood stout, including a Vegan Platter that features four vegan sliders, Kentucky Fried Cauliflower, vegan nuggets, and chips and salsa. Over the last few years, there’s been a surge in popularity for the avocado, because of its health benefits and creamy deliciousness. Long Arm has definitely hit one out of the park with this trend, so that this November you can enjoy a vegan superfood stout that tastes delicious, is friendly to the environment, and includes nice a dose vitamin C! DOWNLOAD THE RAISE VEGAN GOOGLE PLAY APP The press office for the pub says its unique dark malts have been “combined with a subtle creamy avocado flavor and aroma” of the creamy green fruit, with avocado being added just after the secondary fermentation. Don’t worry though, your mouth isn’t going to turn green, the stout will be an appetizing chocolate brown color. Despite recent claims made by Great British Bake-Off and QI co-host Sandi Toksvig that avocados are not vegan, the green fruit is becoming an increasingly popular ingredient to a number of vegan delights. Avocado beer might be my favorite use of the fruit. WANT YOUR MAGAZINE IN PRINT?

The post Crock-Pot Butternut Squash Black Bean Chili appeared first on Raise Vegan. Via https://raisevegan.com/crock-pot-butternut-squash-black-bean-chili/ Everyone has a plan of how they want their birth to go, but it doesnât always stick to plan. New research has shown that the medical teamsâ focus is only on the baby, and not on the moms during labor.Stephanie Portell had an easy labor with her first child. She said her delivery was so easy she only really had to push once, so when she was heading into her second pregnancy she expected the same experience. Instead, she nearly lost her life. Right after the delivery of her second son, she had a beautiful moment as he was laid on her chest, but once she handed him back to the nurses, she knew something wasnât right. She felt her stomach cramping in a pain she had never felt before, but the nurses didnât seem concerned and told her it was a common thing to happen after a second pregnancy. DOWNLOAD THE RAISE VEGAN APPLE APP Then Portell tried to stand up, and felt lightheaded. She told WebMD the last thing she remembered before blacking out was terrified looks on her families faces, including her 4-year-old son who was also in the room, before hearing nurses yelling âshe wonât stop bleeding, get the doctor here now.â Not something anyone wants to hear at any time, especially not as moms during labor, or just after. After delivery Portellâs uterus wasnât contracting properly. She spent more than a week in and out of hospital, passing blood clots and hemorrhaging. She ended up ultimately getting multiple lifesaving blood transfusions to get back on the road to good health, but she never found out why it happened in the first place. Now, several years later, she still looks back on the delivery of her second son, confused and astonished as to how the experience unfolded and went on for so long. DOWNLOAD THE RAISE VEGAN GOOGLE PLAY APP Speaking about her experience, Portell said âThe medical staff didnât listen to me, and they made mistakes over and over and over again for no apparent reason. Everyone is always so focused on the baby. But I think a lot of women like me, who have gone through something terrifying during childbirth, are amazed how little is known about how to care for moms.â Portellâs sons are now 5 and 9, and she said she will not be risking her health by getting pregnant for a third time. âEven though I physically can, I wouldnât. I donât feel it would be safe because I donât know what was wrong and doctors didnât seem to know how to handle me,â she explains. âI am so thankful I escaped death, not everyone is as lucky as me.â What more can be done for moms during labor? Experts say there has been concern for a long time that obstetrics has focused on babiesâ well-being over the moms in labor, almost to the point of exclusion, but many of them hope and believe that the tide is beginning to turn. With more research being done, we can get more answers where the focus is during labor and delivery. A National Institutes of Health task force has recommended research into pregnant and nursing women for the Department of Health and Human Services. The task force found that there is not enough information available to âguide the care and treatment of pregnant women in several areas.â It also called for further research into finding new drugs to help treat pregnancy-related conditions. WANT YOUR MAGAZINE IN PRINT? GET IT FOR UNDER $4 A MONTH RAISEVEGAN The group says more research needs to be done and more information be widely available about the dosing for medications approved for the general public, which might not apply to pregnant or nursing women. Dana Gossett, MD, is chief of obstetrics, gynecology, and gynecologic subspecialities at the University of California, San Francisco, and she urges pregnant women to do their research and check the available data at hospitals and with doctors in their area, for things that matter to them, like C-section rates. Gossett explains her views stating; âMany institutions publish their C-section and episiotomy rates. These are not perfect markers of quality, because some groups of women are higher risk than others and some hospitals may care more for at-risk populations, but it is a reasonable place to start in asking a providerâs philosophy on these issues and how they think it might be related to your individual case.â She also suggests considering using a midwife or doula, and says that both can help women with low risk pregnancies to make better decisions for how they want their labor and delivery to go. Maternal Health, there is still a lot we donât know In the US there are nearly 4 million births a year, but despite all the advances that have been made in modern medicine, there are still a lot of mysteries surrounding the health of moms during labor and pregnancy. With everything from maternal mortality rates, diabetes, pain management, c-sections, and more, there is still a lot that isnât scientifically understood or standardized, and the harrowing childbirth stories that are shared are distressingly common. READ MORE: NOT ONE THING PROTECTS WOMEN DYING IN CHILDBIRTH A 6-month investigation by NPR and ProPublica found that the USA has the worst rate of maternal deaths in any developed country. The latest data available from the CDC, released in 2014, found that 50,000 women a year have what is called severe maternal morbidity, which involved unexpected outcomes of labor and delivery which can cause both short and long-term health-related problems, including the need for blood transfusions and hysterectomies. There are several new studies being researched and published as new information is being discovered. Although modern medicine has come a long way in recent times, the science and research in obstetrics lags behind research in other areas like cardiology by at least a decade. â(it) was hindered for a long time by ethical concerns about doing research among pregnant women,â Gossett explains. âThis did pregnant women a real disservice because we have less data than we would want.â To read more on this topic, you can find the full story on WebMD.
