Ethical Luxury Vegan Blogger Focused on Sustainability.
Natalie Milakara is an ethical luxury vegan blogger based out of Toronto, Canada. After cutting her teeth in the fast-paced fashion, marketing, and tech industries, she realized that something was missing. If she wanted to see a change in the world, she believed she would need to start with her own habits first. After conquering her introverted ways, Natalie began publishing articles on The Purist Life and YouTube videos to document what she learns along the way.
As a kid growing up against the grain in ‘small-town’ USA, Natalie watched with anticipation as global attitudes towards humane ethics in fashion, beauty, and eating began to shift dramatically. People started showing interest in how she was living. More and more questions poured in about which beauty brands didn’t test on animals, where to find chic vegan handbags, or tips on plant-based cooking. Natalie realized that she was not alone in her pursuit of living more consciously, without sacrificing quality and lifestyle.
