Well I messed this up ROYALLY! So we have had a very busy week and with the weather being what it has been this entire week, we decided to just head out and grab ourselves a ready meal.

Veganism and fast fashion
For many people within the vegan community, they chose to go vegan for the environment. Animal agriculture is the second biggest contributor to greenhouse gases, beaten only by the consumption of fossil fuels. Roughly a third of all of the Earth's non-ice land is used to raise the 70 billion livestock animals needed to meet … Continue reading Veganism and fast fashion
Vegan Tattoos
Something I had never considered when I first went vegan was the idea of a vegan tattoo.

Think Hermione Granger in the philosopher's stone, except as I have aged my hair has gotten even bigger. Over the years I have found that my hair is … Continue reading Style Expertise heat protecting spray
