Great food for thought. “As muddy water is best cleared by leaving it alone, it could be argued that those who sit quietly and do nothing are making one of the best possible contributions to a world in turmoil.”

Super article. So called “humane” alternatives to factory farms just perpetuate the belief that it is ok to eat animals…and in fact romanticize eating them! The rise of the excuse-itarian….

What a beautiful article. Self-hate is so destructive and so pointless! It’s so easy to forget that WE have the power to control our thoughts and feelings.

More yummies :)

This is Heidi’s Tofu, Coconut, Cashew Curry. Very easy and adaptable.I subbed broccoli for the cauliflower, just because it’s my...
Lemon, Rosemary, Olive Oil Cake
Highly recommend this recipe. Sounds odd but the rosemary is subtle and adds a lovely fragrance . The cake itself is super soft and perfectly sweet, not forgetting vegan of course!

Quote of the moment...
“I can’t control my destiny, I trust my soul, my only goal is just to be. There’s only now, there’s only here. Give in to love or live in fear. No other path, no other way. No day but today.”

Neglected tumblr..
My poor little tumblr has been neglected for a long time now. I miss it. Thought I’d show whoever’s out there what I’ve been up to! For a bit of down time at uni I’ve been indulging in some knitting.
Made that cute teddy bear for my baby nephew and have almost finished another in reverse colours :)

I know, I know, it might not seem like the most exciting thing ever, and it isn’t. BUT, as reusable water bottles go this one is pretty swish (and it’s durable too!)
For your information…
Bottled water generates up to 600 times more CO2 than tap water
New research shows that drinking a bottle of water has the same impact on the environment as driving a car for a kilometre.

These are fun. I know it’s supposed to be summer and all but we can get excited about Autumn days even so.
Take it easy...
