Actress Mena Suvari says being a vegan and choosing
cruelty-free fashion and accessories have made her feel better about her life.
She says that veganism has in a way helped her save money and it also makes
her feel good after ditching all animal-related products and meals from her
life, reports usmagazine.com.
"I've been vegan for almost 10 months now
and I went completely cruelty-free in my life even with my beauty products and
my whole wardrobe," said Suvari.
"I feel really good making the personal
changes that I did and I've always loved fashion, so I wanted to make it a
point, for whatever it's worth, and show people that you can have fun with
sustainable fashion and that it's possible," she added.
Veganism has also
stopped the "American Pie" star from caring about what should be considered to
be fashionable and she now no longer looks for designer clothes and bags, but
gravitates towards sustainable fashion items.
"Eco-friendly and
sustainable fashion is what's important to me. I don't care what the most
expensive item is or that whole dynamic of someone thinking that they have to
buy something to be equal. Why am I carrying this dead animal on my arm? It
doesn't feel good'," she said.
