This Isn’t Chicken Plant-Based Lemon & Herb Skewer Review

April 14, 2021      19 Comments

Hello everyone

I have been vegetarian a while before deciding to go vegan (I watched Cowspiracy & Seaspiracy-they opened my mind). Since going Vegan I have been pleasantly surprised and seen more varieties of delicious no matter which supermarket I go to, 90% of things you know has a vegan option. THIS Isn’t Chicken Plant-based lemon & herb skewers in my local Tesco and I just had to get them, don’t they look great?

I can’t remember the last time I had skewers before but since I thought these looked amazing I just had to try them. I just had to mention it’s the first time I’m trying THIS.

Dying my hair pink with Colour Freedom Magenta Dream

April 7, 2021      16 Comments

If you follow me on Instagram you might have noticed I dyed my hair with Colour Freedom Pink Pizzaz a couple of months ago. When I dyed my hair pink it went down so well! Even though I loved the pink pizzaz, I fancied a little bit of a change mainly because didn’t stay vibrant very long. I decided to go for a deeper pink so that’s I got Colour Freedom Magenta Dream.

It’s not the first time I have used Colour Freedom over the years, they have been a brand I have come back to many times! The best things about them are that they are Cruelty-free, Vegan and very affordable. They have a nice variety of bright colours to choose from but my favourites as you might guess is the pinks!

Simple Low Sugar Vegan Oat Pancakes Recipe for One

April 7, 2021      28 Comments

Simple Low Sugar Oat Pancakes Recipe for One
How delicious do they look? yum!

Hi everyone, I hope everyone is well! So onto today’s post. My weight loss journey started I have been adjusting my diet around to see what works for me, while on that journey I have also learnt to make new foods. I am the only one who eats vegan food in my home so I like to plan and make meals measured just for me so I can make everyone else meals without worrying about mine. So this is where the Vegan Oat Pancakes come in!

Now I will be the first to admit I am not a huge fan of eating porridge, it’s tough to eat as I find it very filling. I have seen oat pancake recipes floating around the internet and in cookbooks so I thought I’d adjust to make ones I would love to eat. I tried them and I have never looked back, they taste amazing!

Vegan pancakes?

When changing my diet from vegetarian to vegan I was on a hunt for something that would work like eggs so I tried OGG’s egg replacer and they work fine in this. Other egg replacers online such as banana, apple sauce and soya yoghurt.

If you follow me on social media you will see make my own foods in my home I will be posting more recipes for one on my blog whenever I get the chance. I will also add other meals too. One of my favourites is vegan shepherd’s pie, yum!

Nutrition

The pancakes contain 5.2g of protein but this can be upped by simply adding protein-based plant milk or using a vegan protein powder. Carbs are 28.9g and fat is 4.0g. Fillings are separate in this recipe but adding peanut butter will add more protein with little effort.

The best thing about pancakes is that they are so verastile. You can make them savoury but if your like me you will like the sweet option. My favourite fillings in lotus biscuit spread with strawberries ontop with low sugar maple syrup.

I am a huge fan of chocolate and have it most days. I have tried Doisy & Dam Ballers before so I couldn’t wait to try more chocolates from their range.

Their chocolates are palm oil-free, natural ingredients and ethically sourced cocoa. They have many varieties to choose from. I got four different to try.

I got the following to try out. D&Ds, Diddies, Nuttercups and Coconut chocolate bar.

With #Veganuary well underway, I have been kindly sent these fabulous New OGGS Bites to try!

I am not Vegan as yet I do like to eat Vegan whenever I can though. I have to say Vegan food has come a long way in the last 2 years and has grown so much. OGGS are an amazing Vegan company that make cakes from aquafaba (chickpea juice-an egg replacer).

An Introduction to Laves – a Modern Skincare Brand, Backed by Science

An Introduction to Laves - a Modern Skincare Brand, Backed by Science
This post contains PR/gifted items, no paid content. All opinions are my own
 
Hello everyone! 
 
Since I got nearer to the age of 30 I tended to pay a little more attention to my skincare regime more and learn what is best for my skin, now I know much more at 30 and usually know what’s best for my skin. Rollback the clock to 10 years ago I wasn’t very skincare savvy because I didn’t do any skincare apart the occasional Nivea moisturiser, so you can see i wasn’t in the know, looking back I wish I used SPF and did my homework and learn more then!
L’aves know that our skin changes daily and can be affected by things such as hormones, environmental conditions and even stress, so their products have the necessary ingredients our skin needs. All of their products are made in small batches so they are guaranteed to be fresh every time. They have skincare for all ages because we know our skin needs different things at different stages of our lives.
Their products are palm oil-free, preservative-free and free from such as harmful fragrance, no additive colour, no parabens, no phthalates or gluten. They are also eco friendly, vegan and cruelty-free.

POWERED BY NATURE, BACKED BY SCIENCE

🌎Happy Earth Day🌍 Such a lovely sunny day, l 🌎Happy Earth Day🌍
Such a lovely sunny day, love it when it's bright and warm. I'm making the most of it as you can see. Anyways it's Earth days 51st anniversary and their focus is ‘Restore Our Earth’
Simple changes 
🌱Reduce, Recycle and reuse. I like using old coffee jars for spices. I also like to use a food waste bin so it can be turned into compost.
🌱Choose sustainable options when you can. One for me is using reusable bags shopping and bamboo fruit and vegetable bags. 
🌱Use long-lasting bulbs. I like using dim eco bulbs as for me it's more relaxing at night. 
🌱Reduce food waste - planning can help save food. I like to freeze food if I cant use it before the use-by date. 

How are you celebrating? 🌱

I've heard of probiotics in food but its the first I've heard of probiotics in food but its the first I've seen it in skincare ( I'm aware I might be late to the party with this 😂) 

(gifted) This is the new @antipodesskincare Culture Probiotic Night Recovery Water Cream 🌱
The cream is made with good bacteria and hyaluronic acid for calm, hydrated, healthy-looking skin. It smells gorgeous and feels very refreshing on the skin. I've used it for a few weeks now and I love applying it before bed as it feels cool to apply and over time helps skin feel hydrated. 
It's 100% natural origin and vegan friendly 🌱
Have you tried this yet?
