We are a privileged generation, we have everything in abundance, from clothing and beauty to food in all its various forms, but because of the array of products we are slowly beginning to suffocate under the pile of waste that accompanies them. I doubt that 2.5 billion years ago in the stone age cavemen popped... Continue Reading →
As a Vegan: Social Scenes
Being in the minority during celebrations and gatherings can be, and often is, difficult; at times, you may think it is impossible that your family will accept your choice and not question you at every opportunity that arises. However, there are things each person can do to feel more included without being overly pushy. This... Continue Reading →
Coconut and Berry Crumble Bars (vegan and gluten-free)
If the thought of warm fruit and oat crumble drowned in custard doesn’t make you drool I’m not sure what will. Crumble is the ultimate childhood pudding; most of us have memories of it served in primary school at lunchtime, or on the weekend at grandmas house, and whatever memories you may have regarding it...

Tofu Scramble with Garlic Fried Cherry Tomatoes and Kale (vegan and gluten-free)
On a sunshine-filled day, all that you need to complete the perfect equation is a good brunch; I am not one to chose the savory over the sweet option (a true 5-year-old at heart) but if it came down to this tofu scramble and pancakes I'd be in a real predicament. It takes under 10... Continue Reading →
As a Vegan: Friendships
This is a broad subject, but not as broad as Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson’s shoulders, and so I deem it manageable. Friendships are the essence of life, said someone some time ago. Friendships are difficult as f*ck, said I, every day of my life. Without the whole plant-based label they are difficult enough but I... Continue Reading →

Last week I was talking to some friends (shout out to... Continue Reading →
As a Vegan: Travelling
Being vegan is the best thing I’ve done. True. Being vegan makes me feel great. Also true. Being vegan is always easy and super accessible. Not always as true as I'd like. When at home, and in a comfortable radius of it (my known and safe territory) eating plant-based could not be anymore enjoyable and... Continue Reading →

How To Break Up With Your Phone
Phones: the genius and revolutionary invention that has taken over the 21st-century market and people, but should we continue to let a box of tech have such a powerful hold over our lives? The average adult spends 3.5 hours on a mobile a day, that is 1277.5 hours in a year which converts to a... Continue Reading →
Are We Living?
And breathe… I don't know about the rest of you, but I for sure am relieved the holiday season is over. Christmas is like canapés, amazing in small amounts but to have one too many is game over. I believe in the spirit and festivities as much as anyone, but don’t get wrong, too much of... Continue Reading →
