love ♥ living ♥ vegan
Following a plant-based or vegan lifestyle, is about food, drink, clothes, shoes, body treatments, hair products and more.
It's a conscious decision to think, walk and possibly, talk a better lifestyle.
I support individuals who are thinking about making the shift, as well as, those who have already begun their plant-based journey.
Usually, Suraj and I don't do much for Valentine's Day. We find it quite commercialised and don't like to buy into it. However, this year, Suraj told me to keep the day free because he had some treats planned for us!
One of the treats was dinner at Raw, which is a restaurant in a hotel called La Suite West.

My hubby and I had planned to meet up with my cousin who doesn't live too far from Holborn. He is a vegetarian so choosing where to eat would be a treat! We'd get to search for veggie restaurants that had vegan options and support a small business at the same time! I love supporting non-chains!
Suraj came across a pop-up called Redemption Bar. It is London’s first alcohol free bar movement, which is designed to allow customers to enjoy themselves without enduring any negative effects of drinking alcohol.

A new meat-free restaurant opens in London
I had the pleasure of eating at Ethos a couple of weeks ago.
It hasn't been open long, but it's busy and popular already!
Let me talk you through my first dining experience at Ethos.

I came across a post on BuzzFeed, which listed 21 unmissable vegan places in London. I had been to some of them but Bonnington Café was one of the ones I'd not eaten at.
My mission was to tick a few boxes in one go. This involved having a lovely meal, going somewhere I hadn't eaten before, time out with a friend and gain something that I can share with you.
I'm happy to say that all of the boxes were ticked!
Read MorePop ups seem to be popping up all over the place at the moment!
Suraj and I found out about the various pop ups in Granary Square a couple of months ago.
It was exciting to see that many of them catered for, or exclusively provided, vegan food.
We couldn't eat any more at the time, so of course, we said we'd go back. Another place to add to the list of places that I want to eat at!
It wasn't a Club Mexicana day when we were there, but I heard lots about it afterwards, and after seeing photos of their creations, I felt like I couldn't get there soon enough!

Many people automatically think that vegans have a really hard time if they want to eat out. This is another example to show that it's not the case. In fact, it's the opposite!
Vegans are not restricted, eating out is not boring and we usually leave feeling chuffed about the meal we've had.
The options may be tailor made for us, they may be listed on the main menu or shown on a separate menu for vegans. Either way, the common experience is that our bellies are full at the end of the meal, so we leave with a smile on our faces.

I was in the mood for something sweet and I mentioned that to Suraj. Now let's get this straight, it wasn't a casual mention. I'm quite sure he picked up on a sense of yearning. Regardless...I didn't expect what followed!
Read MoreI had heard a lot about the yummy options served by Amico Bio and had talked about eating there for a while, but with one thing and another, months had passed and I hadn't made it there yet! I was so chuffed when, finally, a friend and I we booked a date to indulge, Amico Bio style!
Read MoreMy husband took me to taste the yummy hot dogs made by The Mighty Fork recently. We ended up eating 4 or 5 of the 6 options between us on our first visit there! :)
Their journey is inspiring so I wanted to share it with you. So here it is, in their own words.
