She’s back (again)…

Luisa-Christie Brighton Beach West Pier Amy Davies

After a brief 18 month (lol), unintentional hiatus, she’s back again… She being me… And this is the second time I’ve had a long unexpected hiatus without an explanation (read about the first time here). Long Caption Crew ’til I die I love writing and I’m regularly part of the Long Caption Crew™ on instagram. I’m just a bit pants when it comes to sitting…

#LetsGreenThePlanet with Treedom | Father’s Day Gift Idea *

AD – the following is a paid partnership with Treedom, however this has not affected my opinion of the company and this blog is an honest reflection of my thoughts & experience. Every year around Father’s Day my inbox fills with pitches for products to include in my “gift ideas” round ups (something that I’ve never done on here). But when an email from Treedom…

Day to Night Makeup Using NYX Cosmetics | #BootsNYXRoutines *

AD – the following is a paid partnership with Boots, featuring NYX Cosmetics products. I’m the kind of person that either goes all in, or for a very minimal casual look when it comes to my makeup. Doing my face to get ready to leave the house can take me anywhere between 10 minutes and 2.5 hours, depending on the occasion (much to the dismay…

Cat Mum life: the highs (and lows) | #PethoodStories *

AD – this blog about Cat Mum life is sponsored by Petplan. I’ve spent the majority of my life on this planet co-existing in a household with at least one pet. Most of which have been of the fluffy, sits inside of boxes, and screams in the middle of the night because they want attention, variety… Yep, you guessed it; Cats! From a very young…

If you disagree, then you my friend, are a weirdough 🌝

I had the pleasure of trying the newbies in London town: @greengoatpizza who are committed to sustainability, for one of their ‘planet friendly’ vegan pizzas 🍕 I’ll be honest I wasn’t definitely going to do a feed post about this, but my tripod was set up ready to snap a pic for stories, and it was genuinely so delish I had to post it on the grid! ❤️
~
THE PIZZA: I went for the ‘Pesto Caponata’ with: Tomato Sauce Base, Roasted Aubergines, Sun-blushed Tomatoes, Roasted Red Peppers, Vegan Basil Pesto, Wild Rocket, + I added Roquito Pepper Pearls (so good) & Vegan Cheese (can confirm the cheese was grate & v melty 🧀)... And they also sent three (3!) incredible dips: Basil Aioli, Vegan Garlic Mayo, Vegan Chilli Mayo 🌶 What’s ya fave topping??
~
ps. forgot to take off the white thing for this shot - I know it’s to stop the lid from smooshing into the pizza, but doesn’t it kinda look like a little table for mice? 🐭

Say Cheese! 🧀 Two of the greatest loves of my l Say Cheese! 🧀 Two of the greatest loves of my life: cats & (vegan) CHEESE 💕
~
FEATURING MY FAVES (clockwise from middle):
• @violife_foods: ‘Greek White’ - god tier 🏆 it’s creamy & moreish, I could eat a whole block in one sitting (but I don’t lol). Great on any kind of carb. If goats cheese, feta & halloumi had a vegan baby, it would be this 🤤
• @mexicanacheese: ‘Super-Melting & Spicy’ - rich with a kick! 🌶 Perfect in a burrito/on nachos + on pizza too.
• @sainsburys: ‘Free From Cheddar’ - a fridge staple for me! ngl the ‘Greek Style’ they did was ultimate fave but I think they’ve discontinued 😭 you can also get 2 soft spreadable styles (original and garlic & herb) which are perf in sandwiches, on crumpets, or used as a creamy sauce.
• @buteislandfoods: ‘Grated Mozzarella’ style - hard to pick a fave from them, but this is defs up there as one of their best. Creamy & reminds me of “real” grated mozzarella tbh!
• @koko_coconutuk: ‘Deliciously Mellow’ - I was a sucker for mild cheddar in my veggie days, this is the most similar I’ve found. Despite being made with coconut 🥥 (which I also love), it doesn’t taste overly coconutty IMO.
* All the above are either from @sainsburys or @thevegankindsupermarket *
~
TIPS for easing into vegan cheese:
• give yourself a break - don’t go from dairy cheese to vegan cheese instantly, take a few days/week so your palette can adjust.
• try not to compare the vegan versions to the “real ones” - think of them as another type of cheese to enjoy; rather than a direct replica.
• not all vegan cheeses are good! 😂 It is gunna take a bit of trial & error. But there are SO many options out there - both bigger brands & independent small businesses (check out @lafauxmagerie). You’ll find at least one you love with a bit of patience & perseverance!
~
Before I became vegan my number one concern was “WHAT ABOUT CHEESE?”... I was legit a cheese addict. My friend nicknamed me ‘Cheesus’ & my mum had genuine concerns I would become intolerant because I ate it so much 🌝 If I can change to vegan cheese, anyone can 😂
~
Boo being in this wasn’t planned but she’s under the weather atm (hence the flower cone). Couldn’t bear to move her 🥺🌸
