Now I want to preface this by saying that I am in no way a 'make up' person. I know the absolute bare minimum when it comes to make up and I am only now learning how to really enjoy make up. I am very slowly learning how to 'properly' wear make up and how … Continue reading Favourite vegan make up brands

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?

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

I have been seeing a lot of stuff going around online lately about whether vegans can have vaccinations and still call themselves vegans. It is an issue that is very much up for debate, even if you are not vegan. Personally, I will always advocate for modern medicine as much as possible and it is … Continue reading Should vegans get vaccinations?
The end of Veganuary
What a sad time it is. Veganuary is over and therefore the happiest time of the year is now over too. Vegnuary is always exciting for me, as every year it gets bigger and the new foods on offer become more and more readily available. I went vegan nearly 5 years ago now and even … Continue reading The end of Veganuary
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?
