Ben and Jerry’s Vegan: Cookies on Cookie Dough

One of the things that I have missed since turning vegan has been Ben and Jerry's.

One of my favourite things in … Continue reading Ben and Jerry’s Vegan: Cookies on Cookie Dough →

If you think that you need a supplement, always check with your doctor first as to whether it is really needed. Otherwise you could just be spending a lot of money on supplements that your body just flushes out. … Continue reading Vegan Supplements that I take →
