Which e-numbers are vegan?

As with all things vegan, there is always something new to learn. Now if you are following a plant based diet then it is likely that you haven't come across e-numbers before. 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? →

How I became friends with my house spiders

Stick with me for this, because I know how it sounds. As a heads up as well, I will not be including a few pictures of spiders throughout this article so if you do have a phobia of spiders then no need to brace yourself!

Is fashion promoting trophy hunting?

I love fashion. Whilst I could never afford many of the designer items out there, I love to see how creative fashion designers can get with their outfits and their runways.

Shout out in particular to Mcdonald's, who think that they can add a … Continue reading Honest Burgers vegan teriyaki burger →

How can I be an activist?

This is a question that I have struggled with a lot, because it's so vast. For starters, what is an activist and how does it differ from being an advocate? According to the dictionary, an activist is 'a person who campaigns to bring about political or social change'. An advocate is defined as 'a person … Continue reading How can I be an activist? →

How to deal with unwanted vegan comments

While veganism has grown in popularity over the last few years, there is still a lot of ignorance around what veganism is and what it means to people. I have been vegan now for 8 years (and was vegetarian for 6 years before then) and unfortunately there are still people out there who think that … Continue reading How to deal with unwanted vegan comments →
