No more wintery and cosy vibes, it is back to feeling like a tropical party within the beauty world. I am trying to use less plastic, so the Faith in Nature brand has been on my … Continue reading Faith in Nature dragon fruit soap bar

Book review: Living Planet – The web of life on Earth by David Attenborough
Book blurb: Nowhere on our planet is devoid of life. Plants and animals thrive or survive within every extreme of climate and habitat that it offers.

Sunday Musings
What's the oldest things you're wearing today? I like to think of myself as quite lucky in that my body does not change all that much. I hit a growth spurt when I was about ten when I hit puberty, and have not grown an inch since. My weight obviously fluctuates as everyone's weight does, … Continue reading Sunday Musings
Vegan Nutella has landed!!
I finally found it! So far I have only been able to find it in Sainsbury's, but my hope is that it will soon spread wider and become more widely available. As expected, you cannot tell the difference between the vegan version and the dairy version. This chocolate spread is rich and creamy, and has … Continue reading Vegan Nutella has landed!!

Krispy Kreme pistachio doughnut
I knew it would happen eventually, where Krispy Kreme finally let me down a little bit with one of their vegan offerings. Whilst this doughnut was fine, it was absolutely not what was advertised, so that counts as a disappointment in my eyes. There is very little pistachio flavouring to this. There is a slight … Continue reading Krispy Kreme pistachio doughnut
Vegan carbonara with white sauce
I have been trying to cook more and am slowly getting more comfortable with the various forms of vegan protein options that are out there. Standard firm tofu I find to be a very fickle mistress, and I prefer using it in stir fries or scrambles, but I decided to finally try silken tofu. Silken … Continue reading Vegan carbonara with white sauce
