Christmas is always my favourite time of the year, mainly because the snow fairy collection at Lush is released! This stuff smells so good and instantly lifts my mood with its bubblegum and candy smells. So of course, come January and the Boxing Day sales, I try my best to stock up on the snow fairy … Continue reading Lush jelly soap – Snow fairy

The Pod by Laline Paull – book review
Official blurb summary: Ea has always felt like an outsider. She suffers from a type of deafness that means she cannot master the spinning rituals that unite her pod of spinner dolphins. When tragedy strikes her family and Ea feels she is partly to blame, she decides to make the ultimate sacrifice and leave. As … Continue reading The Pod by Laline Paull – book review
New book reviews
One of the things I began to focus on more in 2023 was reading. As a child, I could read for hours at a time and easily get through a hundred books a year. Sadly, as with all childhood things, I lost the joy of reading as I grew older and my focus shifted onto … Continue reading New book reviews
Can vegans wear wool?
I saw an interesting debate online the other day about whether wool was ethical or not for vegans. The most interesting part though was that some people seemed to be very much split down the middle. Now I always advocate that veganism is a lifestyle and not a diet, in that you can eat a … Continue reading Can vegans wear wool?
Krispy Kreme cookies and Kreme
Another of the new Veganuary offerings from Kirspy Kreme is a rework of their usual cookies and kreme doughnut. It is essentially the original glazed doughnut with vanilla cookie kreme frosting, topped with cookie crumb. It is made in conjunction with the chocolate cookie crunch that Krispy Kreme also released for Veganuary this year. Thankfully … Continue reading Krispy Kreme cookies and Kreme
Muller corner plant based chocolate balls
Finally, a vegan version of a non-vegan staple. I remember Muller corners being one of the best snacks out there, especially the various flavours of the crunchy balls that they had on offer. This has always been one of my wishlist products as, in all honesty, the vegan yoghurt market is really quite slim. I … Continue reading Muller corner plant based chocolate balls
NOMO cookie dough rabbit
I don't believe that these are a new addition for Veganuary but this is the first time that I ever seen the rabbits sold separately. I have usually seen them sold as part of a bigger Easter egg set, and over Christmas NOMO tend to release a range of reindeer shaped chocolates instead of bunnies. … Continue reading NOMO cookie dough rabbit
High 5 energy gel orange
One of my big goals for 2024 is to run a half marathon and a full marathon. I did complete a half marathon in 2023, but the one I am planning for 2024 will be my first chipped and timed race, so I am equal parts very nervous for it and also very excited to … Continue reading High 5 energy gel orange
Burger King bean burger
This new addition for Veganuary is technically a 'return for Veganuary' in that Burger King have brought back their bean burger for their 2024 offering. This was a product they offered as part of their main menu but they discontinued it in the last few years, no doubt to make way for their other plant … Continue reading Burger King bean burger
PSA: The Steak Bake Returns!
Ok so technically this is not 'new' for Veganuary because it was actually a regular on the Greggs meal a few years ago. But for some reason, Greggs did not keep this and decided to remove it. Along with a lot of their regular staples for vegans, including the ham and cheese baguette. Annoyingly, they … Continue reading PSA: The Steak Bake Returns!
