One of the best things about my job are my days home alone during the week. I love having the house to myself, don’t you? I have some lunch cooking and am listening to a record, (Glass Vaults, if you’re curious…) and as I look out the window and see the bare trees and […]

Vilma Boutique – Vegan Clutch
Hello friends! It has been a substantial amount of time since my last post; predominately because I have been off work, traveling around and drinking copious amounts of delicious wine. If you follow me on Instagram you may have caught my Instastories documenting some of what I was up to (when I remembered). But alas, […]
Lentil Bolognese
Bolognese was always a staple dish in our household growing up and since my venture into a plant-based diet started, I have tried a few variations of vegetarian bolognese. Spag Bol has always been one of those dishes where I have never followed a recipe, and just thrown this and that in with some mince […]
Mascara, Mascara, Mascara #2
Welcome to March, guys! I won’t go too much into the fact that it’s already March, I’ll just gloss over it and say ‘bloody hell!’ The beginning of the year always seems to quite busy for me. And yup, it’s still busy! The last month has consisted of me being on call, so for a […]
Veggie Chili
Hello and welcome to my first proper recipe post. Full disclosure: I love chili. I once went through a period of making chili on a weekly basis. I was always excited to have chili for tea, unfortunately my boyfriend didn’t share quite the same enthusiasm. Yes, he likes chili, but not perhaps to quite the […]
Meatless Monday

Meatless Monday was founded in 2003 and is a non-profit initiative with the goal of decreasing meat consumption by 15% both for the health of the planet and, of course, for you. We live in […]
Two Thousand Seventeen
We’re over a week into 2017, I am up and out of bed at a surprisingly early hour (for me) and I am sitting on the sofa with a cup of tea, the veranda doors open, listening to the morning world go by, reflecting on life. I was at the supermarket yesterday and as I […]
Cruelty Free Deodorant
So lets talk about deodorant. Deodorant is an essential part of every day life (well for me at least). I don’t particularly enjoy sweating and am generally pretty concerned that I’ll end up being a bit stinky at some point throughout the day. I mean the reality is that I don’t, but its always niggling in […]
Lush Toothy Tabs
I bought these Toothy Tabs a few months ago and have been meaning to write a post on them for a while. So as its Monday and I am feeling the need to be productive between episodes of Outlander and deciding what I am going to have for lunch, I thought I may as well […]
Raw Cookie Dough Bars
Cooking and baking is something that I have enjoyed since I was child, and as I’ve now become a grown up its something I would like to think I am actually pretty good at. So in keeping with my cruelty-free theme, I thought it might be a nice idea to share some tried and […]
