What little or humungous things do you do, to be environmentally considerate?

August 27, 2019 / Heena Modi

Recently, a member of a group posted “I’d love to know what changes you’re making in your home / life to help better the planet. I’d love to make changes too so a little push from those who are already making a change will really help.“

This gave me the opportunity to think about what I do to be environmentally considerate, as well as, revisit why I do them. I hope that this article helps you do the same.

May 31, 2016 / Heena Modi

The first time I heard about The Vegan Grindhouse is when Sean organised a vegan coach trip. Here, we walked around, explored Hatton Shopping Village and the Christmas markets, and indulged on food by Vegan Grindhouse! It was delicious and I'm really happy for them, because they've grown lots since then, and have further plans to increase their reach!

Astonish products reviewed by a different users

December 01, 2015 / Heena Modi

Astonish have a huge range of products, and all of them are kind to the environment, yet strong enough to make cleaning easy! You can read an interview with Nick from Astonish here.

This article features reviews of various cleaning products. The reviews have been written by Janet Higgins, Stella Goddard and Evelyn Smith.

I put this article together because I wanted to share what others think of Astonish products. I love them, because they're vegan, they're transparent about being against animal testing and are clear that animal products don't need to be used to make cleaning easy or effective.

Read on to find out what Janet, Stella and Evelyn think of the products they've used so far.

Missy's Vegan Cupcakes

July 28, 2015 / Heena Modi

I want you to meet Emma Marshal-Nichols! She was keen on making the shift to a vegan diet, but was being held back by the lack of good vegan cakes! Guess what she did? She researched experimented and started making them herself, after which she made the shift!
It is also refreshing to hear that 'all' she wants to do, is promote veganism, make people happy, be creatively fulfilled, have enough time to spend with her two beautiful girls, and live in the present moment. Isn't that refreshingly different? Find out more about Missy's Cupcakes below.
