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.
Our first experience of dining at a Michelin-starred restaurant
My hubby (Suraj) and I haven't eaten at a Michelin-starred restaurant before. Sometimes experiencing something like this for the first time can be intimidating or scary. It was strange. It was new to us, yet it felt easy.

I came across Sharon when I saw a video of her making some nail polish. I could see that she had a range of colours and effects, and was then compelled to contact her when I found out that her entire range was vegan and cruelty-free.
Here's some more information about her company, For Your Nails Only.

FED By Water goes vegan!
FED By Water's menu used to include non-vegan food and drink. The restaurant went vegan in July 2016. The risk has paid off! They are often busy, so it's definitely worth booking. The two times that I've been there, I witnessed them having to turn people away, because they hadn't booked and all the tables were full.

Vegan options everywhere
I've written about how easy it is to eat out on many occasions, and the reviews have always expressed a feeling of positivity, satisfaction, indulgence, and gratitude. However, this review is the first time that I'm writing about a place that I wouldn't recommend.
Find out why I wouldn't recommend eating at Tanya's Cafe...

Vegan Hippo is back and it's even better than before!
I went to Vegan Hippo soon after it first opened. I can't recall the savoury options that I ate, but the dessert was firmly embedded in my mind! It was the chocolate cheesecake. This dessert had a lovely texture, it wasn't too rich, and it had just the right amount of sweetness. Delicious!
I was gutted when I found out that Vegan Hippo had closed. There were all sorts of rumours floating around, so I wasn't sure if they'd be back. But then, I found out that they were re-opening and I couldn't wait to return! Saying that, I was also dreading that they wouldn't have the cake that I loved so much!
Find out if I enjoyed what I ordered...

I am grateful to Brenda Davis who has worked with me to openly and accurately respond to common questions about shifting to a vegan diet.
A bit about Brenda: She is a registered dietitian, and she has been a featured speaker at international nutrition, medical and health conferences in over a dozen countries, and she has worked in different fields of nutrition.
Below, Brenda discusses why people go vegan and the benefits of making this shift. She also addresses some of the myths around vegan eating, and the things that we should keep an eye on.

I am excited for you to read this article. In summary, it's about how what we consume affects our health.
Dr. Ashwani Garg has kindly shared how he decided the type of medicine that he wanted to specialise in, the events that led to his discovery of veganism, why he went vegan and the amazingness that followed. This shift in thinking and diet had an impact which he hadn't envisaged. For me, the best part of all of this, is that he has no regrets, and he uses his direct experiences to help so many people attain a better quality of life.

I had been seeing Free From Italy pop up in different areas, so it was great to meet the man behind the brand! Nigel Singh created the brand after being disheartened by the lack of good quality, tasty free from food that was available in the UK. He has gone out of his way to source, taste and select various items, before adding them to the ever growing list of items that he supplies. Now over to Nigel who will fill you in on the why, what, when and more.
Read MoreI found out that Hsuan Lin was going to be at VegFest and I couldn't wait to meet her. She had a warm, fun and compassionate way about her, which came through in her emails and her t-shirt designs. She sold out of some of her creations so quickly, that I didn't even get to see them! However, I ended up getting three of them for myself! Naturally, the next step was to write this, so that she can tell you about her vegan business, Bazaar De Luxe.

I am grateful to Tiffany Damle for writing the second part of this article, in which she has shared going her journey from eating a lot of meat, to becoming vegan for the safety and protection of animals, for better health and the environment too. One choice, which led to a positive effect on so many things.
Along the way, Tiffany endured surprises, and confusion about why so much of the readily available information is inaccurate and misguiding! However, she worked her way through it and ended up experiencing the priceless benefits that she describes below.
