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.
When I began following a vegan diet, I got told that I'd only find vegan chocolates in heath food shops. I wasn't very impressed with that because I haven't got one very close to me, so it means making a special trip to get some treats!

Coffee shops...
My hubby loves coffee, and he enjoys sitting in coffee shops. He seems to have a radar that alerts him about new ones when they pop up! So...the radar went off, he went to check out Gloria Pretzels and Coffee, and he loved it straight away. He had a chat with the manager, found out what was vegan already, listened to her plans about introducing more vegan items, and recently, we went in together as she had brought some of them in!

Why is there so much talk about oil?
In recent years, there's been a lot of talk about cooking with oil and whether it's necessary or not. It's made such an impact that companies are introducing pans with which we can do oil-free cooking. You read right! Not just less oil, but no oil!
