Lush jelly soap – Snow fairy

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

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

Krispy Kreme Chocolate Cookie Crunch 

Now while 2024 will be a big running year for me (I have some long distance races planned so training for those starts very soon!), I simply cannot pass up a new doughnut. Especially when it involves oreo cookie too... Enter one of the newest doughnuts on offer from Krispy Kreme. The Chocolate Cookie Crunch, … Continue reading Krispy Kreme Chocolate Cookie Crunch 

Doe Bakehouse Pumpkin Spiced donut

Another wonderful find in York and another reason why I am seriously ocnsidering moving to this gorgeous city. Now no doubt you will all know how much I love donuts - they are a true comfort food that very rarely ever lets me down. No matter my mood, a donut will always make it better … Continue reading Doe Bakehouse Pumpkin Spiced donut

Fudge Kitchen York

I recently took a short trip to York and I was truly spoilt for choice for vegan treats. There were also so many independent and local businesses, and even with all of the walking we did I still think I ate my own body weight in vegan goodies. However I think this fudge has truly … Continue reading Fudge Kitchen York
