This is quite a testy sentence that I have seen being used by a number of vegan activists, both from individuals and organisations. Whilst there is a part of me that understands why they use this language, I personally do not agree with it. I have always loved languages, especially the written language. I loved … Continue reading What is the animal holocaust?

Is the American Dream real?
I was looking through some old photos over the weekend, and making myself sad about how I (and almost the entire world) have not had a holiday in almost 2 years!! I love travel, and now more than ever the travel blues and wanderlust has truly set in. The idea of getting on a plane … Continue reading Is the American Dream real?
100 POSTS!
How strange to think that this is now my 100th post on Taylor Tries Her Best! To think that I started this blog purely to talk about my newest vegan discoveries and now look at where we are! What's even weirder to think about is that I have written 100 posts, of which at least … Continue reading 100 POSTS!
Can vegans visit zoos?
One of the big dilemmas that many vegans face (myself included) is the issue regarding zoos: We want to see wild animals that we may never get to see, but we also don't know how we feel about these animals being taken from their natural habitat and put on display for us to stare at. … Continue reading Can vegans visit zoos?
Black Lives Matter
The death of George Floyd has shocked and enraged the world and the protests that have been and continue to be carried out in the USA over this past week are long overdue.

Mainly because I am not a super artistic person...yet! I have used this lockdown period to play around with watercolour painting and it has been … Continue reading What my bullet journal taught me
Hug your pets today

We made vet appointments just to be sure but he didn't make it to them. He died at home, next to his brother Pippin, … Continue reading Hug your pets today
Wash your hands!!
It has been a bit of a weird time this week. Half of the world is going mental about coronavirus, while the other half is pretending that nothing is happening.

Video Game of the week…
This week has been a tough one! From super busy schedules to super stressful work days, this week has felt like a crazy whirlwind of activities but also the longest week of the year.

The little things in life
Every day at work, at around 12.30pm, one of the council street cleaners will do her round outside of my office where I currently work. She pushes her cart, sweeps up old cigarette butts and crisp packets, before taking a 5 minute breather on the park bench. At around 12.45pm, the man I can only … Continue reading The little things in life
