Keep reading to the end of a discount code! 2020 has been incredibly different to how everyone expected, and it’s meant a lot of us have spent more time inside…

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…

Festival Ready with Simply Be | #WeAreCurves *

AD – the following is a paid partnership with Simply Be and contains affiliate links, however this has not affected my opinion of the clothing and this blog is an honest reflection of my thoughts & experience with the brand. When it comes to festival fashion there really is no right way, or wrong way to do it. It can be quite daunting in the…

#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…

Vegan & Cruelty-Free living, Self Love & Body Positivity, LGBTQ+, Travel & Adventure... To name a few. Usually found cuddling animals, visiting restaurants with plant-based options, singing my heart out at gigs, or covered in glitter in a festival field.

Giving Nigella a run for her money... ok but not r Giving Nigella a run for her money... ok but not really because if I didn’t have this [ad pr product] kit from @rubiesintherubble to make @pizzapilgrims sourdough pizzas at home I would be CLUELESS 😅 (also I am defs not as hot as she is & I am totally at peace with that lol).
~
ANYWAYS I made pizza on Saturday night (four mini ones to be exact), all with slightly different toppings, but all with crusts that got dunked into the @rubiesintherubble plant-based garlic mayo & omg it was v v v good... I’ve never done a pizza kit like this before but it was kinda fun cooking in a lil pan on the hob before putting under the grill 💥 (check out my stories to see what I mean)
~
KIT & TOPPINGS & DIP USED (* = ad pr product):
🍕: (*) @pizzapilgrims sourdough pizza kit
🧀: @violife_foods extra mature cheddar & @buteislandfoods jalapeño & chilli cheddar

#WhatLuisaEats #VegansEatPlenty
Back with the second instalment of my #IsThisDrink Back with the second instalment of my #IsThisDrinkVegan series🍹 + an [ad pr] ✨GIVEAWAY✨ so keep reading 👀 + save the post for ingredients to be aware of when you next fancy a cocktail 👆🏻
~
SOME COCKTAILS AREN’T VEGAN? Obvs the beauty of cocktails are that they’re a mix, however there’s some you’ll find on menus (or premixed on shelves) that have non-vegan ingredients... Look out for the below:
🥚egg whites & yolks: traditionally whites are always used as an ingredient in Whisky/Amaretto Sours, and ‘Flip’ cocktails (eg. Brandy/Porto) include the yolk
🍯 honey: it takes a specific kind of cocktail, but some do have this (& some spirits do also) the most common is Bees Knees 🐝
🐄 cow milk: White Russians always have milk in (but IMO they could easily be made with dairy-free milk). Sometimes even Piña Colada’s can have dairy milk in, but IMO it should defs be coconut milk/cream 🥥
🐞 carmine/cochineal/E120: red colouring made from bugs 🙃
~
There are also spirits that aren’t vegan (more on that soon)... But if you’re having a cocktail making sesh at home & you’re curious which, make sure you check spirits online in the meantime (I always check barnivore.com first) ☺️
~
THE GOOD BIT: as a thank you for so many new faces here recently & because UK lockdown is still going, I’ve sorted out a gift for 2 with @wearelollipop to bring the cocktails to you (which are all vegan friendly + they do alcohol free mocktails) 🍭 Lollipop is an at-home bottled cocktail company by a friend who’s the brains behind some of the most fun & unique bars in London @abqlondon @thebletchley @chelseafunhouse @hackneyfunhouse @jolieinlondon
~
RULES: to get your hands on a box of 6 cocktail bottles (inc garnishes) for you & a friend:
⚡️ follow @wearelollipop & @luisachristie
⚡️ tag a friend below, one name per comment (as many as you want)
⚡️ if you’re feeling lucky: share post to your story & tag @wearelollipop & @luisachristie
⚡️ closes on Sunday 31st Jan at 5pm GMT - UK ONLY!
⚡️ winning comment chosen at random & contacted via DM within 24hrs of closing (they MUST send a photo of their ID + the person they tag to prove both over 18). If no response in 24hrs another will be chosen.
The longer I spend alone in my bedroom in lockdown The longer I spend alone in my bedroom in lockdown, the more I understand the paintings hung in galleries of women lounging around with their tits out being fed grapes. They were really onto something, don’t ya think?
~
I didn’t have any grapes, but this [ad pr product] salted caramel vegan @magnum certainly did the trick 😏 they sent me 8 (EIGHT!) a week ago, and I have already eaten 5. One time I had one for breakfast 🤷🏻‍♀️ There are no rules anymore & time isn’t real. Anyways, happy friday x
... When there are so many amazing Black & Indigen ... When there are so many amazing Black & Indigenous People of Colour not only creating amazing content, but amazing food, too! Veganism & many vegan foods didn’t even originate in white communities so the audacity some people have to associate veganism with whiteness is ridiculous.
~
There’s been lots of conversation around this recently & I’m not going to repeat myself in this caption (check out my ‘whitewashed’ highlight for more info/context/background). TONIGHT I want to focus on some fab creators I follow, some for a while, others more recently.
