Meet Andy Tabar, the man behind Compassion Co

June 07, 2016 / Heena Modi

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!

Vegan Grindhouse brings Americana Street Food to the UK!

May 31, 2016 / Heena Modi

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.

Blissful Brown

April 19, 2016 / Heena Modi

Woohoo. Get ready to meet Susan Brown! She created Blissful Brown in 2004, because she wanted better skincare for herself. She wanted cosmetics that didn't include chemicals and unethical ingredients. Susan now goes as far as making sure the packaging of Blissful Brown's products is ethically produced!

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.

I am so excited about this company! They care about the environment, the animals, human rights, sustainability and more.

The Raw Chocolate Company

March 02, 2015 / Heena Modi

I met some of the team from the Raw Vegan Chocolate Company and was so chuffed with their huge range of raw, vegan products. Creating this post with Linus Gorpe was so interesting. It truly shows that our passions and beliefs can lead us anywhere we want them to!

Over to Linus to tell you all about how the idea of this company came about, where it's got to and all the good things that they're not willing to sacrifice for the sake of wealth.

Dining out: Redemption Bar

January 26, 2015 / Heena Modi

Choosing where to eat when meeting up with the family

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!

Suraj came across a pop-up called Redemption Bar. It is London’s first alcohol free bar movement, which is designed to allow customers to enjoy themselves without enduring any negative effects of drinking alcohol.
