It has been about 2 years since I last had a Papa John's pizza. Or really had any sort of take away pizza. The vast majority of my 'treat meals' have either been store bought version or home made, so are likely far healthier than the real thing. But there are sometimes in life when … Continue reading Papa John’s Cinnapie Sticks

Favourite vegan make up brands
Now I want to preface this by saying that I am in no way a 'make up' person. I know the absolute bare minimum when it comes to make up and I am only now learning how to really enjoy make up. I am very slowly learning how to 'properly' wear make up and how … Continue reading Favourite vegan make up brands
Are home grown eggs vegan?
This is a question that I have often pondered on over the years. Now I have never owned chickens, but I would of course love to. I think chickens are just so adorable, and I also really love the idea of having modern day dinosaurs wandering around my house.

Ben and Jerry’s Oat of this swirled
I think it is pretty widely accepted that nothing beats Ben and Jerry's ice cream. Their flavours are highly creative, and their vegan range is still of the same high quality as their non-vegan options, which is rare with many other brands. I am also quite a fan of their sundaes, so when I saw … Continue reading Ben and Jerry’s Oat of this swirled
When you forget to check the ingredients…
I fancied a little bit of chocolate over this weekend and so treated myself to some of the Monty Bojangles truffles, because they are just too good to say no to. Except, I didn't realise that Monty Bojangles were not a totally vegan brand - I usually only see their vegan options, so when I … Continue reading When you forget to check the ingredients…
Where do vegans get their protein from?
Despite this information being readily available online, I am still asked this question on a far too regular basis. As soon as someone hears that I'm vegan, or at least hears that I don't eat meat, I am met with the obligatory 'But what about your protein intake?' as though without meat it is only … Continue reading Where do vegans get their protein from?

Crosstown Cinnamon Scroll doughnut
I somehow question how I make it through the weeks without doughnuts. I don't have them every week, but on the weeks I do get these extra little treats, it is just the most comforting and rewarding thing possible. Especially on those very busy weeks with lots of miles ran, lots of work meetings and … Continue reading Crosstown Cinnamon Scroll doughnut
