England has just had a mini heatwave (34 degrees Celsius which is pretty uncommon for us!) and the heat of England is the heaviest, most humid heat that I have experienced. Even when the wind blows it is like having someone blow a hairdryer into your face, so it does absolutely nothing to cool you … Continue reading Ben and Jerry’s Berry Revolutionary

PSA: Vegan Percy Pigs
One of the biggest staples of Britain is Marks & Spencer's, and I think the main reason for this is Percy Pig. What started out as a little pig-shaped sweet has now grown into the mascot, who has cakes, sweets, decorations and stuff toys all in his image and his honour. Which is rightly so … Continue reading PSA: Vegan Percy Pigs
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
Fry’s Popcorn chick’n
I have heard great things about Fry's, but unfortunately in the UK the brand is quite hard to come by in regular stores. Usually I only see it on offer at the very expensive and very niche places, such as Whole Foods or Ocado. However in the last few months I have started to see … Continue reading Fry’s Popcorn chick’n
Frankie & Benny’s vegan mac ‘n’ cheese
I haven't been to a Frankie & Benny's in years. There used to be one round the corner from where I lived but since moving there isn't one within a reasonable distance. However we took a trip into Wembley (London) the other day and decided to see what new options they had added to their … Continue reading Frankie & Benny’s vegan mac ‘n’ cheese
Are pets vegan friendly?
I was on the internet late at night and came across a vegan discussion thread where someone had commented that you cannot call yourself a vegan if you have a pet. Their whole argument was that vegans should not do anything that exploits or causes an animal to be exploited, and by having a pet … Continue reading Are pets vegan friendly?
Itsu veggie sushi collection
Another joy of going into London is that I can finally go back to Itsu. If you've had a look through my blog you know that I am a big fan of sushi - it is simple and filling while being a light meal. I have tried a lot of sushi in my time but … Continue reading Itsu veggie sushi collection

If I ever want a decadent or posh chocolate fix, Hotel Chocolat is my go to. They also go all … Continue reading PSA: Hotel Chocolat Easter sale!
Should pugs be banned?
You will no doubt have seen the headlines this week regarding the Blue Cross' latest campaign to tackle the 'vicious cycle of over-breeding' that is currently seen in pugs, bulldogs and other breeds of flat faced dogs. The increase in use of photos of such flat-faced dogs has led to a spike in popularity and … Continue reading Should pugs be banned?
BOL Japanese katsu curry
I finally decided to try the BOL range! I have heard pretty good things about it and their food does always look quite appetising. Unfortunately though, as I don't have a microwave, that limits a lot of their ready meals - and many other ready meals really. They also tend to be the more expensive … Continue reading BOL Japanese katsu curry
