What to do when you accidentally eat animal products

So I was all prepared to talk to you about the special edition Eid doughnut that Krispee Kreme brought out, because it was new and I of course had to try it. It was labelled as accidentally vegan, as it had no milk or eggs in it and when I checked the allergen menu online … Continue reading What to do when you accidentally eat animal products

Bat Appreciation Day

17 April marks International Bat Appreciation day! I always feel that bats get a bad rep, since it seems many people assume they are all vampires.

This organisation was founded in 1982 and aims to conserve bats and their habitats through a combination … Continue reading Bat Appreciation Day

I have seen this debate going around online quite a lot in recent months. There are obviously a lot of different sides of this debate so I thought it would be interesting to address these arguments. Now I will preface this by saying that I am a very nervous pet parent - I think after … Continue reading Should you keep your cat indoors?

Which e-numbers are vegan?

I won't get into a debate (not now anyway) about whether e-numbers are good or bad for you, but I am someone who … Continue reading Which e-numbers are vegan?
