Crosstown chocolate ring doughnut

Crosstown really seem to be raising those vegan standards because we vegans are really being spoilt for choice with their current range. It would not be a trip into London if I didn't pick up at least one sweet treat for the evening, and Crosstown is just hitting all the right spots lately. I truly … Continue reading Crosstown chocolate ring doughnut

Request – elcotrolyte recommendations

I am currently training for a half marathon and so am experimenting with the best fuel options. I am also set to run a marathon at the end of the year too so hoping that if I sort my feuling during this half marathon, I can think about it less during the full marathon. I … Continue reading Request – elcotrolyte recommendations

Vitamin E oatmeal exfoliator

As part of my new years resolution, I am trying to focus more on my skincare and actually have a proper routine that works for me. I have used this before, but never in any sort of routine.

Krispy Kreme I love you a-choco-lot

I promise I don't have a doughnut problem. Krispy Kreme is just doing so well with their vegan friendly doughnuts that it feels rude not to try them all. Now this one is not labelled as vegan, however I did do a scan of their allergens and ingredients pamphlet online and I didn't see anything … Continue reading Krispy Kreme I love you a-choco-lot

In the UK, Champneys is one of the most luxurious spa brands in the country. They have had a 'at home' range for a number of years (all rather expensive, but the whole point is so that you can have spa treatment in your own home) but it is only in the last year or … Continue reading Champneys Slumber body balm

Gnaw oat milk chocolate

I find that the hunt for good vegan chocolate is an ongoing battle. My favourite used to be the Tesco's own brand orange chocolate, but it seems that they have now discontinued this to replace it with new own brand chocolate bars, none of which are vegan. Which is such a shame because this was … Continue reading Gnaw oat milk chocolate

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

New book reviews

One of the things I began to focus on more in 2023 was reading. As a child, I could read for hours at a time and easily get through a hundred books a year. Sadly, as with all childhood things, I lost the joy of reading as I grew older and my focus shifted onto … Continue reading New book reviews
