The other evening I found myself lost in YouTube. I must have been hungover or something because I just let it play whatever it felt like and before I knew it I was watching hours of vegan foodie videos, one after the other. Various foodie YouTubers showing off their culunary skills and whipping up these incredible vegan meals. Like actually amazing and really inventive and all lookin’ super delicious. Then I started to think, I could do that? I’ve grown up on meat. A big ol’ roast dinner has been a firm family favourite in my house-hold for years. Until about five years ago when I started…
‘Yeah, I guess it is a bit cringe’. So, I recently found myself saying this in a response to a comment a guy made to me on a recent date. He was referencing bloggers, what they do and in particular, my own Instagram. I have never experienced that kind of face to face conversation before.

It’s going to break your heart. Don’t let this happen’. This quote resonated with me more than any, ever.…
‘And these are a few of my favourite things’ We’re a week away from July. I mean, what da fuq? Everything is speeding by and I feel like every time I blink another month just passes me by. Cliché? With that, it’s time for a little catch up, from me to you and a run through my favourite things from June. So June has been a really positive month for me in regards to my blog and taking things up a notch. I’ve had the opportunity to work with some really incredible brands, I’ve also been receiving more and more campaigns. It’s great, I’ve been experimenting with…
