Guest Post ~ Sustainer Container
This is a slightly different post, as it is a guest post from Maya, a final year university student who has founded Sustainer Container as part of her work. She asked if I would be happy to promote her brand, which I am 🙂 The website is launching on 9 April at sustainercontainer.co.uk! Here is what she has to say: Sustainability has become a buzzword and aspiring to live a more eco-friendly lifestyle has become increasingly popular in recent years, particularly among young people. But what does living sustainably mean? Well according to Google, the definition of sustainable is “conserving an ecological balance by avoiding depletion of natural resources”. For…

Smokey black beans
Hello! My old toaster had broken down, and after a period of being a sad toaster-less person, I had built up quite the craving for some nice beans on toast. So, I whipped together these smokey black beans – loosely inspired by the BBQ beans recipe in the BOSH! cookbook 😀 How lush doesn’t it look? Black beans are one of my favourite beans, due to taste and texture. The toast would’ve been lovely plain as above, but I went one step further and added hot sauce (Sriracha) on one, and a tahini drizzle on the other. Nooch – aka vegan magic gold dust – had to go on both,…

Why I went vegan ~ 2 yr veganniversary
The purpose of cow’s milk, is to turn a 65 pound calf into a 700 pound cow – Dr Michael Klaper Two years ago, I’d just decided to go plant based because of physical and mental health reasons. I’d been vegetarian/pescatarian and gradually phasing out animal products for a while, in particular milk – although I was on a low carb diet, and consumed large amounts of cheese and egg whites on the daily. I didn’t have any trouble giving up meat, as the connection between killing animals and their flesh ending up on your plate, was fairly straightforward for me to make. The whole story about why I went…

Introductions
Hello, and welcome to my take on veganism! I’m hoping that the posts on this blog can be useful to you, whether you’re already vegan, would like to transition, or simply have an interest in adopting some aspects of a vegan lifestyle. My name is Linda, and I’m a university student in my early 20s. I use she/her pronouns, I’m studying to become a doctor, and I like to spend my time on Instagram and other forms of social media, when I’m not hanging out with friends (classic), dancing, cooking or doing boring adulting. I have always loved writing and being creative in my own little ways, whether other people…
