Recently I’ve been going on a personal journey, searching for answers about all aspects of my life, and life in general and allowing myself to change my mind. Now I’ve written that down I can see how annoying it sounds! What an absolute bore 😀 Stop reading now before it’s too late! I’ve been Vegan for …
Wasps, specifically Yellow Jackets, have an ability shared by few animals their size. They can clear a room in seconds! One hint of a wasp and the burliest of builders scarper from their pints in an attempt to avoid this tiny, apparently ferocious being. But the truth is, they aren’t that interested in us. In …
When speaking to people, I am surprised how many of them don’t know what down is and most certainly don’t know how it is produced.
I simply love ‘RE’ furniture! Reused, recycled, repurposed, reconditioned or reclaimed. It is beautifully rustic and heart-warmingly ethical.
So, what does being ETHICAL mean? Before we can answer this question, we first need to look at another question, what does ethos mean? Etho who …? The word ethos (said with a fake Greek accent, think Zorba the Greek) relates to the characteristic spirit of a culture, era, or community, as manifested in its …
I didn’t see 2020 coming, yikes, what the hell was that?! Whatever you believe it’s been a very disruptive and scary time and we have all been affected by it. The terrible divide it has caused between us, the fear of a virus, the fear of those in charge, the tsunami of information, both accurate …
I am not saying anything new or surprising here. Mother Earth does not like plastic. She doesn’t know what to do with it, where to put it, or where to get rid of it. It is suffocating her, hurting her creation, and stifling her potential. Are you motivated by empathy? If you are reading this …
This Vegan loves Christmas! It brings back some wonderful memories and that happy, excited, magical “Christmas feeling”.
Lately, evening walks with Bella, (my rescue dog daughter who I talk about in other blogs), have made me very nostalgic.
Mooncups are fabulous! I first heard about them in 2005 but was very reluctant to use them. Probably because they were so different from what I was used to, and if there is one thing I know about myself, I do NOT like change. My partner knows this about me and being very conscious …
Many people wonder why Vegans don’t eat honey. After all, having loads of bees about is a good thing and they are making it anyway and they aren’t harmed, right? Unfortunately, that is not the case. These fascinating little beings are exploited on a mass scale for their honey, which is their food source. …
I am often asked “are rats dangerous”, which is a difficult question to answer, I find myself asking “are rats dangerous in comparison to what?”. Certainly they are more dangerous to us than say, a snail, but they are far less dangerous to humans than, well, other humans! You can find danger anywhere if you …
