I am currently on annual leave, which means that any sort of healthy eating goes out the window and I let myself be a bit more free with my food choices. I find with annual leave I am FAR more active, simply because I will spend every day out and about exploring new places or … Continue reading Griddle Waffles

Ben & Jerry’s Bohemian Raspberry
This was a flavour released back in 2007, however as 2025 marks the 50th Anniversary of the rock band Queen, it has been released. It was released to coincide with Veganuary, however it is not a Veganuary exclusive. Which is great news for me because I have only just managed to find a tub of … Continue reading Ben & Jerry’s Bohemian Raspberry
Animal suffering will never be art
I saw this post pop up on my Instagram page and...I have no words... According to news reports I have read, the exhibit involved starving three piglets on display to protest agricultural pig farming.

Papa John’s La Vie Hawaiian pizza
I am going to address this first because I know it is a sensitive subject.

The last weekend we … Continue reading Crownfield cocoa and orange Oat bites
The Bakehouse chocolate and orange cookies
I have been a bit sick lately and in those moments of sickness, all I ever want to eat is comfort food. And there is nothing more comforting than a chocolate chip cookie. I didn't want a specialist one, as quite frankly I didn't want to have to pay around £3 for a vegan cookie, … Continue reading The Bakehouse chocolate and orange cookies
Can vegans take medication?
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
