Being Vegan

After recent events on social media which has made me feel really angry, I have decided to write this blog about what i feel being vegan is all about.

 There are many different reasons for people turning vegan and having support from people in the vegan community is a sure way of making sure these people stay vegan.
Some people do it for the planet, some for their health, and some for the animals, for whatever reason people go vegan it's a win win all round.

 There are some vegans out there that say you must do this and you must do that to be vegan, I believe that as long as you do your best and do as much as you can then that's all that matters, I mean everyone is different, not everyone is comfortable being on the front line at marches and demo's and would rather give to the charities that do alot of the hard work, and this is fine in my eyes. Some people can only do small amount of things like leafleting or posting on social media due to commitments, this is also all good in my eyes.

I'm sure everyone would like to buy from completely vegan companies too, and there and some really good ones to choose from, but not everyone can afford to do this due to pennies being tight or there isn't a vegan shop near them, so they have to buy from supermarkets, which isn't a bad thing i mean everyone's got to eat right, I would suggest trying to buy from vegan companies whenever possible.

 Myself and my partner have been to a couple of Canada Goose demo's handing out flyers and making people aware of what the company does. Again I know this kind of thing isn't for everyone. Just talking to people as to why you're vegan is a great way to get the message out there about veganism and you never know some of the people you talk to may even try it for themselves.

 I know from experience that 99% of vegans are approachable and happy to talk to anyone who want to find out what its all about. They are happy to give advice and support to everyone on their vegan journey. I for one am very happy to talk to anyone thinking of going vegan or just starting out on their journey, as i know how confusing it can be to start with, and not having been vegan very long (i went vegan in 2015).

 The Vegan Journey is so different for everyone and everyone should be supported and encouraged however their journey develops. 

I wish every vegan the very best on their journey and hope that you all support and encourage each other.

 Thankyou for viewing my blog VB80

Trip to Cardiff

We decided to take a short trip to Cardiff for a couple of reasons, one to check out what's on offer there for vegans and also to see a concert at St Davids Hall. We arrived to really nice weather, which was nice to see. Locating our hostel was really easy as it was centrally located on the high street in Cardiff City Centre.  Was a lovely hostel and very welcoming and very homely. We decided to take a walk to Anna-Loka which is a 30 minute walk from the city centre. Anna-Loka is 100% vegan café, their menu was full of so much yummy choice but we opted for all day breakfast to start with and a side order of chips. This was followed by a apple and beetroot cake and a mango and coconut cake.  My fiance had a black forest hot chocolate too. We left feeling really full. On our second day in Cardiff we decided to get the local bus to Penarth (the local buses do an all day ticket for £3.50 to travel all over the Cardiff area, which is reall...

Purezza Brighton

Firstly i would like to thank Purezza for inviting Myself, VeganBlogger78 and VeganBabeLife   to come along to review their amazing food. The menu looked amazing and it was difficult to decide what to have. I did like the fact that the menu clearly stated which dishes were nut free (which is very helpful having a nut allergy) For starters we chose: VBL. Focaccia strips and cheese Served with a selection of dips including hummus, pesto and caramelised beet/onion. VB78. Cheese bites, Six delightful dough balls, loaded with lashings of melty coconut cheese. Me. Garlic bread with cheese. Classic garlic bread, loaded with garlic puree with rosemary & optional cheese.  Cheesy Garlic bread need i say moor. nomnomnom For our main meal we chose: VBL. Indigo Island:  Roasted purple sweet potato, freshly cut pineapple & pea pancetta. VB78. One Night in Bangkok: White base, with stir fri...

Blackpool over new year

Having only ever passed through Blackpool once im my life we decided to spend our New Year there. We traveled up from London to Blackpool by Coach. We chose National Express for this journey as we knew it was a very long drive and we know that their coaches are very comfortable for long distances. So we caught the 8am coach which got us to Blackpool at 2:30pm. The journey itself was uneventful and there was minimal traffic on the roads so we weren't held up and arrived when stated :) When we arrived the sun was shining but there was a chill breeze, was to be expected as we were at the seaside in December. We decided to hunt down somewhere to get some food and we managed to find a Holland and Barrett, it was well hidden though on a side street. We also located a massive Sainsburys and a Co-Op so we did managed to get some bits and pieces to eat while in Blackpool. Just outside the Co-Op there was an amazing street music and light show going on (they even played my Fia...
