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…

Welcome to luisachristie.co.uk

Queer & Curvy Cat Lady 💘 Another lifestyle blog, but with a colourful & alternative edge. Covering all kinds of subjects inc. vegan & cruelty-free food/drink/products, self love & body confidence, bring lgbtq+, festivals, travel & adventure... To name a few. Usually found cuddling animals (especially cats), visiting restaurants with plant-based options, singing my heart out at gigs, or covered in glitter in a festival field.

Looking for something?

I’ve tried to replicate this perf eyeliner 3 tim I’ve tried to replicate this perf eyeliner 3 times since I took this last week, and failed every time 🌝 What are your fave cruelty-free & vegan black liquid liners? Bonus points if waterproof 💦Recently I’ve been switching between a few (wearing @hauslabs here ⚡️) but tbh none of them are very good at withstanding my ridiculously watery eyes... That’s why they often look glassy - promise I’m not actually on the brink of crying all the time (only some of the time 🥲).
Got pommed in the park today @merida.pom 🦊 thos Got pommed in the park today @merida.pom 🦊 those little muddy feet 🥺 love that we are doing a kinda similar closed mouth smile?? basically this emoji innit ☺️! Fully didn’t realise how long my hair has got either & saw this pic like “erm is that really what it looks like”? 🧜🏻‍♀️
Cheers to the freakin' weekend 🥂 another instal Cheers to the freakin' weekend 🥂 another instalment of #IsThatDrinkVegan to *save* for your next trip to the offie (I’m sure a few of us will be doing that tonight 🌝). This week I’m talking ROSÉ🍷 I’m a sucker for a pink drink, and usually rosé is my first wine choice 💖 ft. my very cute sidekick Boo @camdencatcrew 🥺
~
SOME WINE’S NOT VEGAN? I’ve explained about this before in the series, but to recap: the reason some wine isn’t vegan is due to the clarification process of ‘fining’ to stop wine being hazy/cloudy. Commonly used fining agents are:
🥛 casein - milk protein
🥚 albumin - egg whites
🐷 gelatin - animal protein
🐟 isinglass - fish bladder protein
These aren’t necessarily present as ingredients in the wine, but many vegans do try & avoid if they use the above - because animal products are needed in the process for the final product to be made.

WINES SHOWN (R-L):
• @sainsburys ‘House’ White Zinfandel Rosé - a cheap & cheerful choice! 
• @maisonmirabeau ‘Forever Summer’ - first time trying this & LOVED! Mirabeau are a multiple award-winning French winery who also make gin, and have a global vegan certification! On the front of the bottle even says ‘plant based’ and it has a vegan label on the back. This was the most expensive of the 4 on show (£11) but was absolutely delish, would certainly buy it again!
• @freixenetuk - this is one of my fave prosecco brands and the bottles are just lovely (my mum likes to keep them and fill them with fairy lights), but I didn’t know they did wine too! The bottle is a slightly diff shape, and I’m happy to report back that the wine is just as tasty
• @sainsburys ‘Mondelli’ Pinot Grigio Rose - as you can tell they are my local so do feature a fair bit (if only they would notice me 👀)
~
Other brands not pictured to check out (please note: not all products from these brands are vegan so double check the label first/head to barnivore.com): @broadlanddrinksltd (Time Keeper Rosé), @bodegasantajulia (Santa Julia Malbec Rosé), @drink_nice (canned rosé), @pinotpinotwines (canned rosé), and @proudlyveganwines.

All the above is correct at time of posting ✨ Drink responsibly & have a gorge weekend 💕

Ok I lied, there’s a bit more... I wanted to add that I’ve talked a lot recently about weight & my weight gain over the past year, so I’ve got nothing extra to say today besides that I was inspired by seeing some #WorldObesityDayHack posts today to take this & then actually post it (bit scary 😶)! OH & it’s my back rolls first debut - plz welcome them! You’ve seen side boob before, so that’s old news lol.
~
ANYWAYS plz click the hashtag above & read the captions on everyone’s posts 😌 sharing some faves to my story tonight, too!
