World Vet Day

World Veterinary Day is celebrated every year on the last Saturday of April, so I am technically a day early with this. This day was created in 2000 by the World Veterinary Association to highlight and promote the work performed by veterinarians around the globe. Every year, the day is focused around a set theme … Continue reading World Vet Day →

Bat Appreciation Day

17 April marks International Bat Appreciation day! I always feel that bats get a bad rep, since it seems many people assume they are all vampires. International Bat Day was introduced by the Bat Conservation International (BCI) charity. This organisation was founded in 1982 and aims to conserve bats and their habitats through a combination … Continue reading Bat Appreciation Day →

Covent Garden Flower Market

I recently got married (yay me!) and one of the biggest stressors I found was trying to sort out flowers. It seems that as soon as florists hear the word 'wedding', the cost for flowers immediately jumps up a couple hundred quid and then you're spending more money on flowers than you did on the … Continue reading Covent Garden Flower Market →

It provides me with an escape from the everyday … Continue reading I am a published author! →

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? →

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 →

Which e-numbers are vegan?

As with all things vegan, there is always something new to learn. Now if you are following a plant based diet then it is likely that you haven't come across e-numbers before. I won't get into a debate (not now anyway) about whether e-numbers are good or bad for you, but I am someone who … Continue reading Which e-numbers are vegan? →
