Vegetarian Star

Vanessa Williams was surprised to find out there were so many harmful ingredients in bath and beauty products.

Celebrity Baby Scoop quoted her as saying, “I’ve been a vegetarian and a devotee of holistic medicine for years. But nothing prepared me for the… harmful toxic chemicals that are in our cosmetics and shampoos… I was trying to get rid of everything in my house that had sodium lauryl sulfates, parabens, and other chemicals.”

You’ve made the decision to stop eating or eat less meat and are finally weening yourself off dairy.

You buy organic produce, nothing white goes in your stomach and think trans fat is a word so dirty, the FCC should ban it.

So why are you still using lotion with polyethylene glycol, otherwise known as PEG, a class of compounds in moisturizers that enhance the penetration of ingredients besides moisture–like heavy metals.

A trip to the Cosmetics Database and typing your favorite shampoo or brand may give you a valuable lesson and make you rethink what soap to buy next week.

Ugly Betty star Vanessa Williams was seen on the set of the ABC television series sporting this jacket with fur trim.

We hope Vanessa doesn’t take after her co-star Becki Newton, who adored her leather with fur trim vintage jacket.

Mode Magazine is all about trends, but fashion guru Wilhelmina Slater should know real fur is so many seasons ago.

What do you think?

Fur real or fur fake?

You may remember Vanessa A. Williams from shows like Melrose Place and Soulfood.

Last month she attended the Caribbean Fashion Week and spoke to the Jamaica Gleaner about her favorite Jamaican veggie dishes.

“My favourite Jamaican foods are ackee and callaloo. I am a vegan, so I don’t eat saltfish. During my visit, I am, looking forward to plantain, rice and peas and, of course, ackee and callaloo. I even stopped at a vegetarian restaurant after I landed to get ackee but they did not have it, so I am definitely going back to get it before I leave.”

Besides talking veggie, she also mentioned she loves her “skinny jeans” and can’t do without earrings.
