Every year, January becomes Veganuary! You can find out more about the Veganuary challenge here. For me, Veganuary is a very exciting time. In the past few years I have seen the Veganuary movement explode every January.

Floof Friday
So every other day I clean out Lola's litter tray and give her a nice clean spot to eat (yes, rabbits can use a litter tray and yes they also keep eating while they go to the bathroom) which involves giving her some fresh hay. Now we top her hay up twice a day so … Continue reading Floof Friday
Lush Ghost in the Dark
A new season means a new product from Lush. Autumn is my favourite season of the year because I get to wrap up in lovely fluffy jumpers, enjoy pumpkin spiced everything and Halloween is always a fun time period with the spooky vibes and witchy feel in the air. I love it. This autumn especially … Continue reading Lush Ghost in the Dark

Because I am an adult. Now I have said before that personally, if the cafe … Continue reading Java Whiskers Cat Cafe

Barry M Velvet matt nail polish: Silent cove blue
There is just something about having my nails painted that makes me feel like a Real Woman. I just feel a bit more put together and polished...no pun intended. Since going vegan though my nails grow so quickly that I find getting my nails done professionally is a waste, because within two weeks my nails … Continue reading Barry M Velvet matt nail polish: Silent cove blue
How to keep pets cool in the heat
We are currently going through a heatwave here in England, with temperatures this week hitting 40 degrees Celsius. This is largely unheard of in the UK and we are definitely not set up for this type of heat: I kid you not when I say that roads melt and train tracks bow. Aircon is also … Continue reading How to keep pets cool in the heat
