Where I’ve been, what I’ve been doing and why I’m not doing veganuary.

My last post was quite a while back now, talking about my decision to go vegan, I did nearly 3 months but then around the time that I started my teaching course, I went back to pescatarian. I know a lot of people who make the decision to go vegan can be quite judgemental of...

This has made me vegan.

My blog of late has talked about toying with veganism, especially since January this year when I did the whole Veganuary month. I felt guilty eating dairy, meat and fish after January and have reduced my consumption of animal products considerably but have found cheese and fish have crept back into my diet. I've said...

Single mum, back to school?!

I have been quiet on the blog front lately. That's because I've got an awful lot going on right now, it's all great stuff but today I feel like I'm beginning to sink a little under the pressure. Before having kids, I knew that I'd love them more than anything. However the actual feeling of...

Vegan & veggie diet

Since Veganuary I have been feeling mixed emotions about my diet. After January came to an end, I didn't know if I should continue as a vegan or not. I liked that the diet had stopped my chocolate and cheese binges, however I was feeling tired of being a pain in the ass when out...

Things I would tell my pregnant self

Lately I've been thinking a lot about how far I've come since becoming a mum. I remember being so fearful when I was pregnant, which I'm sure every expectant mother is. While I've been thinking about what I would've done differently, I know that I wouldn't be the woman or the mum I am today...

Budget decorating – dinosaur frames

I got this idea from my lovely friend, Steven. He had hung some stylish frames in his guest bedroom and when I asked about them, he explained that they hadn't been bought from a home store like I expected, but were simply wallpaper samples put into frames. I was immediately inspired and next time I...

Sugar free February… am I insane?

It's the final day of Veganuary! Over the last week or so I have been thinking a lot about whether I could realistically maintain a vegan diet. I've LOVED making vegan meals for myself, trying new ingredients and cooking methods and I truly haven't missed dairy as much as I thought I would. I've gained...

My life as a single mum, 7 months in.

I haven't really spoken too much on this subject on any of my platforms. Not because it bothers me, I mean sometimes it definitely does but for the most part, I'm so content with my life just as it is. How did I end up a single mum? It was never, ever something that I'd...

#newyearnewme and all that.

Happy new year! I hope 2019 has been wonderful for you so far! I'm not usually one for New Years resolutions, I don't like to make promises that I know I won't keep. However, I am using January as an opportunity to try to change my lifestyle and eating habits. I had already made a...

Cutting out red and processed meat

For a long time now I've been wanting to make changes to my diet and lifestyle, however being a new mum and moving into my new flat have already been huge changes that I've needed to adjust to first. Now I feel settled into motherhood and my flat, I'm ready to start making these changes....
