This is a question that I see asked a lot on online forums. There seems to be this (rather toxic) attitude to veganism that it is an 'all or nothing' approach, which is obviously not always suitable. It also isn't helpful. If you feel that you are able to completely avoid animal products in every … Continue reading Can vegans take medication?

E.L.F hydrating lip shine
The cold weather here in the UK always does a total number on my lips - they can get very chapped and dry, and I will end up with a split lip at least once a week if I don't have a really good lip balm on hand. The downside with this (aside from the … Continue reading E.L.F hydrating lip shine
Sunday Musings
Daily writing promptWhat would you do if you won the lottery?View all responses Open an animal sanctuary. That is still very much my Big Wild Dream (where all practicalities and realities are ignored) but as with most big dreams in life, they all depend on having money.

The Wildlife Trusts Hope Week 2024: Day 6 – Go for a mindful walk
My husband and I are actually very bad at this, in that we usually spend our weekends going for very long walks around our area.
