Plant based pals rejoice: beautiful Porto is really excellent for delicious, creative and varied vegan food. Saying that, I must admit that I found it marginally harder to find places to eat there than I did in Lisbon, but that was not because there was a shortage of vegan offerings; instead, every establishment owner seemed to have chosen the week of our holiday to go… Continue reading All the best places I ate vegan food in Porto
I no longer feel much in the way of worry that I won’t be able to find good vegan food when travelling, and certainly not in European cities, where I’ve eaten some really amazing plant based stuff. Lisbon was no different, with the food turning out to be a real highlight of the trip. I… Continue reading All the best places I ate vegan food in Lisbon
As a testament to the ease of finding vegan food in Vilnius, let me start by saying; I was full basically the whole time I was there. Pleasantly so for the most part, but uncomfortably so a couple of times too, because I have limited self control where food is concerned. For Lithuania may not… Continue reading Where to eat vegan in Vilnius
At the risk of boring myself by proclaiming that yet another place is ‘really good’ for vegan food, let me tell you; Prague was really good for vegan food. I actually had zero expectations about what it would be like (not in the sense that I was preparing myself for slim pickings, in the sense… Continue reading Eating vegan in Prague
Okay, I’m not a beauty blogger. I am, however, a person who uses beauty products, and sometimes I want to share my appreciation or thoughts on them. In lieu of being able to come up with a post with a purpose from the random selection of things that have been new to me this year,… Continue reading Six of my favourite beauty discoveries this year
Eating vegan in Italy was fairly easy in general, but if there was one place we went where it was particularly so, that place would have to be Florence. Avoiding meat and dairy here is something you just don’t have to put as much thought into as you might expect, and certainly not as much… Continue reading Eating vegan in Florence
Prior to visiting Italy, lots of people asked how I was likely to get on there without eating meat or dairy. It wasn't bad at all though, I have to say; I like eating all the carbs and Italy has all the carbs, so on that basis we got on very well indeed - and… Continue reading Eating vegan in Venice
I must confess: this is more for my own benefit than anyone else’s. Essentially, as the world’s worst packer, I thought it would be a mighty convenient exercise to take my Italy make up selection and dress it up as ‘content’. That way, I would be forced to undertake this small element of packing earlier… Continue reading Here are the contents of my (cruelty free) make up bag for a two week holiday
It was hot in the UK this summer guys. I mean not right now – it’s actually about to rain – but it was hot, and we all lost our collective minds for a while because we’re not used to it and we don’t know how to handle anything above 15 degrees. One very important… Continue reading This is the cruelty-free and vegan sun care I’ve been using this year
...aka how I try to give the illusion of having an Instagram-worthy mane on the regs despite actually having pretty rubbish hair. I’m writing this because a couple of people requested it over on Instagram – I know, I know, I almost don’t believe it either, considering I spend alternate days looking like Hagrid (wild,… Continue reading An everyday hair styling routine for loose, lived in curls
