How to be a LGBTQ+ ally

While my main passion in life is animal activism, I find that this relates to all social justice issues that affect our society today. As a vegan, I try to live my life causing as little harm as possible, and this includes how I interact with other people and how I address different issues within … Continue reading How to be a LGBTQ+ ally →

Floof Friday

In case you didn't know this already about rabbits, rabbits LOVE banana. If anyone in our house so much as picks up a banana there is a mad scramble behind us as Lola attempts to get a little taste. And her begging always works. Because we are softies. Lola however, is not a softie when … Continue reading Floof Friday →

Cats Protection: Stop the Big Kitten Con

I believe there are many different ways to promote activism and to be an activist for a cause you care about.

Which then brings the discussion regarding what the difference is between 'plant based' and vegan'. So I thought it would be fun to open up the … Continue reading What is the difference between plant based and vegan? →

As I have said in that review, Easter Egg chocolate is supreme to all other chocolate, so I won't directly compare these cups to the chocolate used in the Easter egg. Because it is not a fair comparison at all and … Continue reading Buttermilk salted caramel cups →

Tesco jelly beans

My favourite sweet of all time is the jelly bean and I was far too excited to realise that tesco had removed the beeswax from their own brand jelly beans!! These taste no different to your regular jelly beans and are now clearly labelled as suitable for vegans. I also believe the packet is only … Continue reading Tesco jelly beans →

Are cat cafes vegan?

As a quick disclaimer, I will not be discussing pet cafes as a whole, only cat cafes. I simply do not agree that all pets can be used for pet cafes Rabbit cafes for example are terrible ideas simply due to the very delicate nature of rabbits, and I imagine a dog cafe could get … Continue reading Are cat cafes vegan? →
