Shaving seems to be a huge women’s issue at the moment, I’ll admit I love to shave. I really enjoy the smooth silky feeling of my legs after I have exfoliated, shaved, and moisturised. It has caused me to be on the receiving end of some criticism but I don’t care. What I do care about that my shaving is as ethical and sustainable as possible. Enter Leaf Shave Razors.

Revolucion De Cuba
A few months ago I was invited to try the new vegan menu at Revolucion de Cuba. They were kind enough to ask me if I would like to bring a friend with me for lunch.

Food reviews
About four weeks ago I came across Firepot Food dehydrated meals on Instagram. Unusually for this type of backpacking meals they actually had a great selection of vegan options in their range. These lightweight shelf-stable meals are perfect for keeping in just in case, so I knew I wanted to try them.

Food Review
Two things I loved as an omnivore were ribs and wings, I said things because I no longer think of them as food. However, that doesn’t stop me remembering how much I enjoyed them. So when I saw that Sainsbury’s were selling these Veggie Ribz from Plant Power Foods, and that they were made with tempeh, I got VERY excited.

Restaurant Review
Today I’m reviewing Yo Sushi. I have always loved sushi before I was vegan I would have a mix of sashimi and sushi but now I just skip the raw fish. Now, I could make it at home (and sometimes do) but I’m going to be honest it’s just not the same.

Recipe Post
Chia seeds are a great source of fibre. One 28g serving contains 11g of fibre. My favourite way to eat it is as chia pudding. I have a variety of versions I make. The basic measurements are the same but I change up the liquids, flavourings and additions.

Product Review
When I’m looking for new products it is important to me that I find products that aren’t just vegan but also as natural as possible, and that have a lower environmental impact. I really wanted to find a good vegan friendly natural deodorant that actually worked, that came in sustainable packaging, and was not ridiculously expensive. Enter Earth Conscious.
Eat Street Belfast
Restaurant Review
I love travelling, even just in the UK, and one of the things I love most is finding new places (like Eat Street Belfast) to eat out. My main requirement tends to be somewhere that has reasonable prices, it also helps if it is something I couldn’t (or wouldn’t) make at home.
Food on the Go
Food Review
Today I wanted to talk about food on the go. We all have those days when we just didn’t have time to go shopping and therefore couldn’t pack our lunch, so we have to resort to buying something on the go. I might end up making this a series. We shall see. As a vegan there aren’t always loads of options. Things are getting better but where you live can have a huge impact on the options available to you. For example, I know people who rave about the new vegan options at Boots (a massive chemist chain here in the UK who also do lunch and snacks). Except the massive (2 floors) Boots in my nearest city sells one vegan sandwich (the sweetcorn fritter one), that’s it. No salad, no vegan sushi, no new sandwiches or deli platters. It can be really disappointing when people talk about these great vegan options, and you can’t access them.
Things I Loved in May
Personal Post
I am hoping to make this post Things I loved in May, the first part of a monthly series. I’ll be honest it will probably be quite heavily food focussed. But I will try to add in other things as well. Here I discuss food, podcasts, YouTube and books.
