What to do when you accidentally eat animal products

So I was all prepared to talk to you about the special edition Eid doughnut that Krispee Kreme brought out, because it was new and I of course had to try it. It was labelled as accidentally vegan, as it had no milk or eggs in it and when I checked the allergen menu online … Continue reading What to do when you accidentally eat animal products

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

Zizzi rustica pizza jackfruit pepperoni

Now I love pizzas. If I was to have a last meal it would most likely be a pizza of some sort. The downside however, is that pizza does not love me. Most pizzas are very greasy - especially the takeaway variety - and when you're trying to focus more on your health and eating … Continue reading Zizzi rustica pizza jackfruit pepperoni

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

Lauduree vegan hazelnut macaron

Especially when they are super soft and cakey in the middle but have that hard and crispy outer layer. Laduree is a French company that … Continue reading Lauduree vegan hazelnut macaron

I am a published author!

Not animal welfare or vegan focused, but it is another one of my biggest passions. I have always loved writing and in 2020 I really started to take my writing a bit more seriously and to make time for a hobby of mine that inspires me. It provides me with an escape from the everyday … Continue reading I am a published author!

What is the animal holocaust?

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?

How I became friends with my house spiders

Stick with me for this, because I know how it sounds. As a heads up as well, I will not be including a few pictures of spiders throughout this article so if you do have a phobia of spiders then no need to brace yourself! One of the biggest dilemmas I have had as a … Continue reading How I became friends with my house spiders
