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.
Italian and gluten free
I heard good things about La Polenteria and was keen to check it out. I was so glad we went. At the point of ordering, I hadn't realised that it was completely gluten free. I loved the way the taste, texture and presentation of the food! Being gluten free didn't take anything away from it at all.

A vegetarian pub in London?
I found out about the Coach and Horses being 100% vegetarian and couldn't wait to check it out! I later found out that they have vegan options, which made me even more excited!
I was a bit dubious about what the food would be like. Would it only include burgers? Would there be dessert? Would there be lots of vegans options?

Read MoreJilna has been vegan for three years. She lives in London, and has always found it easy to grab a bite to eat or dine out. However, she hasn't always had the same experience when travelling abroad.
That changed in 2015! She holidayed in the West coast of America, and realised, that what she had heard about vegan options was no exaggeration! They were great! She was thoroughly impressed!

Read MoreI met Chantal and David a year or so ago at VegFest. We had been talking prior to that, but seeing them in action was amazing!
They had shopping baskets all around their stall, which were full of vegan products. So, without using any words, visitors could see how easy it was to shop for vegan products. The majority of the items on display are available in mainstream supermarkets, which showed that vegan food isn't hard to find and going to a specialist shop is no longer required!
