McDonalds - Please stop using the ingredient Carrageenan in your Menu

Hi Readers.
McDonalds - Please stop using the ingredient Carrageenan in your Menu.
I was browsing the internet today and reading different menus of restaurants and their ingredients and things and came upon the McDonalds site, now I'm not a huge fan of fast food places but I loved McDonalds when I was younger and since I have developed a gluten, and soy allergy and also don't eat meat or eggs I tend to cook everything at home just to be on the safer side, but every now and then I like to pick up some beverages, mccafé, desserts or shakes while I'm out and about and it's always been a nice treat, or so I thought, I'm such a label reader and ingredient fanatic but I managed to trust somethings that I should have been looking up online earlier, first of all all restaurants should be MADE to put ingredient listing on all their products! People NEED to know what they are eating.
I found out a while ago that one of my favorite Almond Milk brands was using the heavy talked about ingredient Carrageenan.
I have avoided this in things like ice cream, dairy, yogurt, dairy-free beverages, chocolate, frozen dinners, soups and broths.
It's said that carrageenan could be causing inflammation, gut irritation, and even cancer!
That is huge and not good!!
I'm so sad to have lost my favorite drink "Vanilla Chai Tea Iced Frappé" from McDonalds but I checked so many of their beverages, and desserts and shakes contain this yucky ingredient (vanilla cone, sundae's, mcflurry, triple thick milkshake, whipped cream in mccafe items, the yogurt in the smoothies, frappé's)...
Please I love you McDonalds for your beverages but we need to see this ingredient removed from your menu, it's 2014 I'm sure there are many more healthier ingredient options!

Check out the NEW fragrance Dahlia Divin by GIVENCHY.
My favorite fragrance from GIVENCHY is Very Irrésistible Givenchy I've loved it from years, and now this marks a great new release for the brand!
It flows nicely from a Summer into a Fall scent.
Elegant, Radiant, and Sensual.

Notes: 
Golden Fruit (Mirabelle Plum), White Flower Bouquet (Mainly Jasmine), Sandalwood, Vetiver, Patchouli. 
Style: 
Luminous. Elegant. Timeless.

Beauty Pop: Christian Louboutin Nail Polish Collection's Debuts at Sephora (USA)

Hey Beauties.
Everyone's favorite luxury shoe brand Christian Louboutin debuts their new Nail Polish Collection at Sephora (USA only so far I don't believe it's in Canada yet).

It describes itself as (from Sephora.com):
CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN BEAUTÉ DEBUTS AT SEPHORA
The coveted shoe designer’s nail polish has arrived.
The iconic Louboutin red sole shade is now available in bottled form. Sephora debuts this luxe beauty brand’s new line of nail polish today. Be the first to get your fingers on Rouge lacquer—it’s sure to become an instant classic.


Christian Louboutin's iconic red sole was born after a chance encounter with a stroke of red nail colour. Now, the designer is giving back to beauty what the shoe took from the nails.

The Signature

A timeless shade of red nail colour, vibrant on any skin tone and inspired by the iconic sole of every Christian Louboutin shoe. 

“The red sole was born from red nail polish. I am giving back to beauty what the shoes took from the nails many years ago.” –Christian Louboutin

The Cap

From the inside of the towering seven-inch calligraphy-inspired cap peeks out a flash of red—an echo of the color of the iconic sole. Modeled after the heel of the Ballerina ULTIMA, the highest heel Christian Louboutin ever designed, and perfectly weighted to ensure the utmost ergonomic comfort and control. 

The Brush

Custom designed with a triangle-bristle construction that inhibits bubbles and deposits a smooth, flawless film of colour. 

The Bottle

Architectural yet whimsical, molded from cut glass and inspired by classical balustrades found in European buildings. An object d’art to be displayed and admired, and exhibited in a luxurious black presentation box. 

The Formula

Highly pigmented, chip-proof, and resulting in a brilliantly shiny finish that mimics the reflection of patent leather. Free of toluene, formaldehyde, and DBP. 

“Christian Louboutin nail colour encourages the wearer to take her time and enjoy the pleasure of the object as well as the pleasure of colour.” –CL

* Shoe not available for purchase

I'm so excited about this release, I love them and the design.. everything, this is sure to fly off the shelves so pick some up quick!
I hope they add more products to the Beauty Line, such as lipsticks.. I can already picture the design for them in my head. :)
