When I was thinking about ways to improve this little blog, I thought about some of the things I wish I had known more about before I started on my vegan journey. There is so much information out there that it can be very overwhelming to really know what the reality of a situation is: … Continue reading ‘The reality of…’ series

NaNaWriMo 2021
It is the 1st November which means one thing... It's National Novel Writing Month!!! I was first introduced to NaNoWriMo about 5 years ago and since then every November there has been an attempt for me to write 50,000 in the month. This works out to roughly 1700 words a day - which may not … Continue reading NaNaWriMo 2021
Can vegans support zoos?
I want to have a discussion with you all, because it is something that I have been very interested in for some time. When I was at university I actually did a whole dissertation on whether zoos were good or bad for animal welfare. I went in thinking that there was no way that zoos … Continue reading Can vegans support zoos?
Why perfection is a myth
Following on my previous post, I wanted to take another little opportunity to reiterate that veganism is not an all or nothing lifestyle. That just because you are vegan does not mean that you also have to try and right every other wrong in the world. The idea of the 'perfect person' is a myth … Continue reading Why perfection is a myth
Dealing with the loss of a pet
On Christmas Eve, our Pippin finally crossed over the rainbow to be with his brother Merry. We had noticed him slowing down for a few days - not as energetic and a bit unsteady on his feet - and when we woke on Christmas Eve he was in his final moments. As with most pets, … Continue reading Dealing with the loss of a pet
Merry Christmas!
A slightly earlier post than normal, but as it is Christmas tomorrow I intend to spend all day tomorrow in my Pjs, watching Christmas movies and eating my body weight in food. This year has been a manic one and I know I am not alone in feeling like this madness is unlikely to end … Continue reading Merry Christmas!

How strange to think that this is now my 100th post on Taylor Tries Her Best! To think that I started this blog purely to talk about my newest vegan discoveries and now look at where we are! What's even weirder to think about is that I have written 100 posts, of which at least … Continue reading 100 POSTS!
Can vegans use non-vegan products that they already own?
One of the big misconceptions that I have found with veganism is the idea that if you want to go vegan you have to do away with everything non-vegan that you own in your life. While this method may work with other lifestyles, such as minimalism or decluttering, I have found this way of thinking … Continue reading Can vegans use non-vegan products that they already own?
