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.

You may remember, that I recently wrote an article called Is it possible to be fully vegan? It was about the many non-vegan things that we do or consume, knowingly or unknowingly.

I decided to reach out to the owners of Solkiki and find out what they thought of commercially produced chocolate and investigate if their chocolate is any different or not. In short, it is very different!

I love the concept behind the Vegan Mafia! Instead of it referring to a group that has a hidden sinister influence, which comprises of wanted criminals, who have a ruthless behavioural code; this mafia group comprises of vegetables whose behaviour is to ruthlessly protect the body from unwanted diseases. There's nothing hidden about the invaluable work they do, and the only involvement of sinister influence is with regards to that which they exist to prevent!

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. He has created an alternative which is sustainable and safe, because there's no environmental contaminants to worry about!

My hubby and I had planned to meet up with my cousin who doesn't live too far from Holborn. He is a vegetarian so choosing where to eat would be a treat! We'd get to search for veggie restaurants that had vegan options and support a small business at the same time! I love supporting non-chains!
