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.

I shifted from a vegetarian diet, to a vegan lifestyle, because I was unable to live a life of duality. I couldn't know about the pain, suffering, and entrapment that animals endure, for us to have particular foods or materials, and continue to be part of it. Although I do reflect on things, I wouldn't have started this journey if it wasn't for PeTA India, and the learning hasn't stopped there.
To me, T.O.F.U. Magazine is key in helping us connect the dots. It is a way of making us aware of topics that involve veganism and other forms of oppression. After all, if that's the kind of thing that bothers us, and if that's what we want to avoid being part of; T.O.F.U Magazine is a great way to make sure that we stay in the know. We may not be ready to make necessary changes straight away, but at least we'll be aware.

Read MoreI met Bassam Sharaf a few months ago. He had a stall where people were queuing up to try his foods. They weren't just trying them; but they were lingering, talking about them and then buying them to take home. The Sharaf mixes empower everyone to make Falafel, and other items, with less effort, without sacrificing how it should taste!

I met Iris and Bob at VegFest and absolutely loved the gourmet look of their chocolate bars. Their packaging was attractive because it was simple yet bold. However, beyond all of that, they had a large variety of flavours, and those I tasted were delicious!

I knew you'd want to read about the range of goodies she makes and provides, so here's an article that will tell you that and more!
