I'd love for you to meet Andy Tabar. He went from omnivore to vegan within eight months, and then kind of fell into creating his own business. With his 'do it yourself' attitude, and resourceful nature, he started making his own t-shirts because he wanted them to have a certain feel, expressing messages about veganism and made in a way which was as kind and ethical as possible. This led to him creating Compassionate Co through which he design t-shirts to fit all sorts of people whether they be feisty or not!

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! Find out more about the husband and wife team, (Andy and Lisa) below.

Woohoo. Get ready to meet Susan Brown! She created Blissful Brown in 2004, because she wanted better skincare for herself.

I would love for you to scroll down and tell me if you agree, that her intentions and goals are selfless, inspiring, and worth supporting.

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!
