Reading the Signs in Public Spaces: ULTA Beauty The space I chose to observe and write about for this essay is ULTA Beauty in the Greenwood Mall.

Mice,rats, dogs, cats, rabbits, and birds are just some of the animals used in experiments in the name of "science." For years, animals have been used to test house cleaners, foods, medication, nd even beauty products such as shampoo and makeup.
