love ♥ living ♥ vegan
Following a plant-based or vegan lifestyle, is about food, drink, clothes, shoes, body treatments, hair products and more.
It's a conscious decision to think, walk and possibly, talk a better lifestyle.
I support individuals who are thinking about making the shift, as well as, those who have already begun their plant-based journey.

They had shopping baskets all around their stall, which were full of vegan products. So, without using any words, visitors could see how easy it was to shop for vegan products. The majority of the items on display are available in mainstream supermarkets, which showed that vegan food isn't hard to find and going to a specialist shop is no longer required!

Read MoreOne of the things that non-vegans tend to worry about, is whether vegans get all the vitamins they need. Mark, who owns Omega 3, recognised this, and created a vegan product that delivers nutrients, without the death and harm that's caused by sourcing Omega from fish.
