How to deal with unwanted vegan comments
While veganism has grown in popularity over the last few years, there is still a lot of ignorance around what veganism is and what it means to people.

Doughnut Time Gordon Jamsey
What a better way to start my New Year than a trip to Doughnut Time. It is easy to say that their doughnuts are - without any doubt - the best doughnuts on the market right now.

Now Krispee Kreme did bring out quite a big range of new … Continue reading Krispee Kreme strawberry glazed ring
Galaxy hot chocolate
I am someone who hates the cold weather, so winter is very much the worst time of the year for me. Especially in England, where it is minus degrees, raining constantly and we don't even have the joy of snow for the most part so can't even get excited about that! I am also of … Continue reading Galaxy hot chocolate
