溫哥華│VEGAN布丁。只此一間！
來到溫哥華，一定不可以錯過唯一的vegan布丁 - Vegan Pudding & Co.！老闆是日本人，所以店面也帶點日本的可愛風格，但是店實在太小了，所以只有外賣喔~

首先，口味種類非常多，包括香草、抹茶、伯爵茶、巧克力等等等等... 第二，看上去如此「邪惡的」甜點，主要的製作原料只有南瓜泥、椰子奶、楓糖，而且全是有機食材；完全沒有使用白糖和蛋奶，可以安心地吃了！口感又軟又細密，不說還真不知道沒有使用蛋奶耶！

好消息是，加國最大亞洲超市 - T&T Supermarket 大統華超級市場 最近也有零售了，可惜好像只有溫哥華有，希望其他分店趕快有吧！

Vancouver │VEGAN Pudding。the One and Only One!
You can never miss this the one and only one VEGAN Pudding when you travel to Vancouver - Vegan Pudding & Co. ! The owner is Japanese, so the store also has a cute Japanese style, but the store is too small, so there is only takeaway ~

First, there are many flavors, including vanilla, matcha, earl grey, chocolate, etc ... Second, this dessert looks so "evil". But the main ingredients are just kabocha squash, coconut milk, and pure maple syrup, and all ingredients are organic, even white sugar free, dairy free, egg free, you can enjoy it safely! The texture is so soft and fine, you will never notice there's no milk and eggs if they don't tell!

The good news is that the largest Asian Supermarket in Canada - T&T supermarket, has also recently been selling it. Unfortunately, it only seems to be available in Vancouver. I hope other branches will soon have it!

三年前的一個決定，讓我和大自然更接近，更忠於自己，更能表達真實的我。剛開始是為了健康，然後更多的是為了動物，慢慢地了解到畜牧業和大自然的關係，讓我覺得這個決定是正確的。

最近兩個月雖然不在家，但我的心情和大部分朋友是一樣的，憤怒、難過、失望，在這個時候，卻又得知亞馬遜大火的消息，真的非常非常難過！你不是還傻乎乎地以為亞馬遜大火跟你沒關係吧？再這樣下去，我們還能生存嗎？

我希望我能繼續慢遊世界，看更多美好的風景，相信你也是，那就自私一點，為了自己，踏出第一步 - Go Vegan

A decision made three years ago let me get closer to the nature, more loyal to myself, and more able to express the true self. I started out for health, and then more for animals. Then I slowly learned about the relationship between animal agriculture and nature. I think this decision is correct.

Although I was not at home for the past two months, my mood was the same as that of most of my friends. Angry, sad, and disappointed. At the time, I was very saddened to know about the news of the Amazon fire! If we continue this way, can we still survive?

I hope that I can visit more beautiful scenery of the nature. I believe that you have the same thought, then be selfish, take the first step for yourself - Go Vegan

For everyone that's been seeing WOWO ads all over their social media... I'm curious however how a product like WOWO compares to a famous drugstore one. After all, big brands have big budgets for branding & marketing to ensure their products look legit. But when it comes down to ingredients? But all in all I personally wouldn't try products (especially any collagen drinks/pills/etc) that I'm not sure is certified by regulatory government bodies.

Guys, is your FB being flooded by distributors of Wowo Shampoo (now renamed to wouwou)? I've been seeing their posts for months and my curiosity increased as I see more and more before/after photos circulating on the internet of people looking bald to growing LOTS of hair (they might have copy/paste the pics blindly over time)...
.
The shampoo is marketed to be vegan, FREE from harmful chemicals and touted to be safe to use on elderly, babies and even pregnant mothers.
.
That got me even more curious as I went to their website (http://wowo.com.sg/) but couldn't find the full ingredients list besides showing their "main ingredients" that are beneficial for hair and scalp. So I used their site's live chat function and obtained the ingredients list as per screenshots attached.
.
To my horror, the first few ingredients are chemicals and can be pretty irritating to the skin especially for those who have more sensitive skin 😰😰
.
The ingredients that are worth my concern are:
.
- COCAMIDOPROPYL BETAINE ( associated with irritation and allergic contact dermatitis, reactions that could be due to the ingredient itself or to impurities present in it, such as 3-dimethylaminopropylamine)
>> this is DERIVED FROM COCONUT but it is synthesized in the lab, meaning nt natural. Can read more cases here on allergic reactions to this ingredient: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/…
.
- AMMONIUM LAURETH SULFATE (an ammonium salt of ethoxylated lauryl sulfate, a surfactant that contains PEG (polyethylene glycol) in its structure. May be contaminated with potentially toxic manufacturing impurities such as 1,4-dioxane)
>> ALS is considered better than SLS as a surfactant in shampoos but it still can be contaminated with 1,4 dioxane, a known carcinogen when it is being synthesized in the lab.
.
- PHENOXYETHANOL (Other HIGH concerns: Irritation (skin, eyes, or lungs), Occupational hazards; Other MODERATE concerns: Organ system toxicity (non-reproductive))
.

.
So guys, please DO study each and every ingredient in your daily products to ensure that they are clean and free from harmful chemicals and not believe whatever marketing materials you see on the internet!
.
Chemicals get absorbed into our bloodstream within 26 short seconds upon contact with skin. So choose your products wisely.
.
Do you really NEED these synthetic chemicals to make shampoo? There are better choices in the market out there (not many but there ARE more natural alternatives such as buy a plant-based shampoo or DIY your own with Dr. Bronners + water. It is definitely achievable.
.
And I agree that chemicals are everywhere, but we as consumers can make informed decisions and limit our exposure to such chemicals. Insulin in a child with type 1 diabetes is life-saving. Antibiotics in someone with bacterial meningitis are life-saving. Magnesium infusions in a pregnant woman with eclampsia can save both mom and baby.
.
BUT long-term exposure to harmful chemicals in small doses from our personal care products and cleaning agents on a DAILY basis can cause chronic health problems in the long-run. You don't see it now, doesn't mean they don't exist. Do you see more kiddos suffering from eczema at an increasing rate? Kiddos that go into puberty at a premature age? How about other issues like insomnia, constant fatigue? Think about it for yourselves!
.
Let me emphasise - I have NOTHING AGAINST WOWO as a brand. Even big brands like Johnson & Johnson do get sued for having Talc in their baby powder (http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-39816799). So brands have to be careful when they market products to pregnant mothers & babies in particular.
.
Keen to know what's a professional Hair Stylist's take on this product? Read Part II of my post: https://www.facebook.com/aldora.muses.56/posts/366527803842109
.
Wth is with this “u NEED SLS/ALS to make soaps & shampoos BS?”
And sarcastic comments on not using shampoo to wash hair since all are toxic?

.
P.S. Wowo Distributors are aggressively biting back saying that I feel salty or red eyes or trying to gain more followers? Is there a need? If your stuff is truly natural, then there's no room for me to comment much... Well, I believe as informed consumers, we have the right to know what are in our products before we decide to use them or not :)
