Vegan food, travel and lifestyle
One of the best things about my recent road trip through England’s West Country with my mum was losing time. We didn’t rush anywhere, we didn’t set daily plans, and sometimes we didn’t know where we were going until we got there. Instead, we took each day as it came, admiring the scenery and stunningContinue reading England’s West Country – The Best Places to Explore Nature
I’ve been a bit quiet recently as my lovely mum was visiting from Australia for a few weeks. Last time she was in London in 2010, we did all the touristy things (Big Ben, The London Eye, The Tower of London…) so this time around we decided to relax a little, take it slower, andContinue reading Getting Back to Nature at The Isabella Plantation
All my life I have thought of myself as a Peanut Butter Hater. Turns out, it’s just the sugar-filled, oily, artificial crap that I hate. I have seriously been missing out!
100 years ago today, the Anzacs landed at Gallipoli, Turkey. Intended as a bold move by the Allied Forces to take over the peninsular and knock the Ottoman Empire out of the First World War, the campaign failed; a stalemate went on for eight long months, with heavy casualties to both sides.
Vanilla Black had been at the top of my ‘must-try’ list of London’s vegetarian eateries for a very long time. A friend’s birthday (and subsequent birthday gift voucher) was finally excuse enough to visit the high-end restaurant that boasts prices a little heftier than those of my usual hang-outs.
I’m always on the hunt for new eco-friendly and animal-friendly beauty products to try out. And when I find something I like, I do enjoy a good rave about it.
The Brighton VegfestUK was held last weekend at the Brighton Centre. The annual event features vegan brands, societies, performers and advocates from all over the country in one giant centre of animal-friendly fun. I headed down with a friend on the Sunday to check it out.
This weekend the first ever BBC Good Food Eat Well Show was held in Olympia London. I hit the show on Saturday to check it out.
The first time I went to Brighton a couple of years back (which incidentally was for my first ever Vegfest), I really wanted to dine at the well-renowned and award-winning vegetarian restaurant Food for Friends; sadly, it was completely booked out. I guess that’s what happens when you try to go the weekend a vegan festival is in town…
If you’re anything like me, you love a good food festival. And when they are exclusively veggie or vegan, it’s even better!
