I LOVE macarons. I have never regretted moving to a vegan lifestyle, but if there was one thing I missed most it would have to be macarons. The French kind. Especially when they are super soft and cakey in the middle but have that hard and crispy outer layer. Laduree is a French company that … Continue reading Lauduree vegan hazelnut macaron

Doughnut Time D’oh Nut
When you think of a doughnut, you think about Homer Simpson. And no doubt you drool in the same way that he does for doughnuts. I know I do...especially when it comes to Doughnut Time doughnuts. I have tried the majority of the doughnuts that they have on offer and I stand by the opinion … Continue reading Doughnut Time D’oh Nut
What is the animal holocaust?
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?
Baxters jackfruit and 3 bean soup

The temperatures are currently ranging from -1 to 15 (Celsius), sometimes multiple times in one day. I am sure there is some sort of debate to be had about the effects of … Continue reading Baxters jackfruit and 3 bean soup

Of course, the macros of the products are some … Continue reading Squeaky Beam pastrami

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?
Gregg’s Southern Fried Chicken baguette
Just before Christmas it appeared that Gregg's had removed their ham and cheese melt baguette for reasons that I still have not been able to work out. I, personally, really loved being able to buy just a basic ham and cheese sandwich from a shop on the high street that was tasty and affordable. Not … Continue reading Gregg’s Southern Fried Chicken baguette
Champneys awaken body cleanser
One of the worst misconceptions about veganism is that there is no such thing as vegan luxury. Yes you can get very high quality goods - both food and beauty wise - but the large name luxury brands very rarely offer anything that is vegan friendly. Or they do, but it is so extortionately priced … Continue reading Champneys awaken body cleanser
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! One of the biggest dilemmas I have had as a … Continue reading How I became friends with my house spiders
Vivera plant drumsticks
As mentioned before I am currently working on achieving a number of my fitness goals. One big component of that is eating my macros, and at the stage I am at I am actually having to increase my protein intake so I can build that lean muscle. I am therefore constantly on the lookout for … Continue reading Vivera plant drumsticks
