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.
Vegan shopping may seem difficult but it doesn’t have to be.
Knowledge can be powerful. Let the content of this article empower you to make shopping is easier and so you know what to do when things are unclear.

Why I want to use cruelty-free AND vegan cosmetics
Our skin is the largest organ we have and what we put on it should matter! This thinking didn't sink in with me straight away!
After I began feeling uncomfortable about, putting something that caused others to suffer, on my skin; I started looking into alternatives.

I wrote an article a while back about Tesco raising its game when they collaborated with Bute Island Foods in order to stock a few vegan cheeses in their stores. Within the last couple of years Tesco has also introduced their own range of vegan yoghurts, ice-creams, milk and so on.
What if you don't want to shop at Tesco?
I know a number of people who would prefer to avoid shopping at certain supermarkets for various reasons, and Tesco is one of them. The thing is...other supermarkets hadn't quite caught on, so that left customers with doing without, buying online from different providers or going to health food stores.

Are you concerned about eating something you've vowed to abstain from eating?
You might have found yourself wondering if you're expecting too much?
Maybe you found yourself debating whether traces are OK, and significant levels are not.
Did you end up asking yourself whether anything can be 100% vegan?
Let’s explore this together.

Allergen labels vs ingredients
A few non-vegans have told me that they have refrained from purchasing specific items for their vegan friends or family because they spotted a sentence explaining that the item 'may contain' an animal product.
Those with allergies will want that allergen label taken into consideration. Others will have different reasons for avoiding items that bear the risk of cross-contamination. However, the majority of vegans I know are fine with consuming items that have vegan ingredients, even if there's a warning that says it 'may contain' something that's not vegan.
Here's what you need to look out for...
