PSA: Greggs’ vegan steak bake has returned!

The steak bake has returned! Oddly, it is now called the vegan lattice, and I don't know why. My guess is they don't call it a 'steak' bake because non-vegans got annoyed about a vegan product being named something that it isn't. Regardless of what it is called, I love it and am super excited … Continue reading PSA: Greggs’ vegan steak bake has returned!

Pret bake at home vegan croissant

There is something very special about pastries for breakfast. I can't explain why, but having a pastry for breakfast just feels so much nicer than cereal, or oats, or even a full english fry up. The downside is that making really good pastry from scratch is very hard, and I have never lived anywhere where … Continue reading Pret bake at home vegan croissant

I have finally set up a social media page!

Naturally I am very late to this party, but I finally decided to take the plunge and to just create an Instagram account for this blog. It is still very early stages, but it has been quite fun to create shorter form content and to share a bit more of my day that way. https://www.instagram.com/taylortalksvegan?igsh=MW82M2d4OHFhaDZmbA==Continue reading I have finally set up a social media page!

Floof Friday

The baby moorhens have finally become big enough to venture out of their nests to graze with their parents at the local pond!

Book Review: Raising Hare by Chloe Dalton

Book blurb: Imagine you could hold a baby hare and bottle-feed it. Imagine that it lived under your roof and lolloped around your bedroom at night, drumming on the duvet cover when it wanted your attention. Imagine that, over two years later, it still ran in from the fields when you called it and snoozed … Continue reading Book Review: Raising Hare by Chloe Dalton

Krispy Kreme Harry Potter doughnuts

It is the 1st September, which means schools are returning and, most importantly, it is time for us to return to Hogwarts. As a millenial, my Hogwarts House is very much tied to my entire personality and Harry Potter will always hold a very special place in my heart.

Faith in Nature orange soap bar

I like to circulate my scents so I usually have two soaps on the go at one time. Mainly so I can try the different scents and products, but also so I don't get too used to one scent. The Faith in Nature range so far has been pretty good and I am slowly working … Continue reading Faith in Nature orange soap bar

How to keep pets cool in hot weather

Summer has now arrived in the UK and it is always a struggle. I won't repeat the usual stories you hear about the UK heat, but in summary is it humid, heavy and airless. And I am not even covered in fur to make it so much hotter! Over the years, I have worked out … Continue reading How to keep pets cool in hot weather

Superdrug extracts shea butter body cream

I will admit, my skincare (especially for my whole body) gets very lazy during the winter because I know I am not going anywhere and even if I was to go out, I can wear lots of layer so my skin is never observed. However, I finally decided to stop being rude to myself and … Continue reading Superdrug extracts shea butter body cream

For example one of the places I have wanted to visit for years now … Continue reading Sunday Musings
