Ah.. The first post.

Hello there! I am a unicorn loving, pug hugging, crap at running student nurse who has recently, decided to embark on a new lifestyle - Veganism! There are many reasons for this - Firstly, wanting to improve my health. I have a condition called endometriosis - Google it, I can’t be bothered to explain too much about it - in a nutshell, it’s a very painful, and at times debilitating condition that I’ve been suffering with for a while. IBS has also made my life rather difficult - heart problems also run in my family.
 Secondly, while I wouldn’t consider myself an ethical vegan, I do think the ways animals are treated in agriculture can be appalling. Cows being made pregnant to produce milk until they are overcome with mastitis and are then sent to slaughter, living just half of their natural life span? That’s not cool with me. Don’t get me wrong, I will not preach in this blog - my boyfriend is a meat lover, and we coexist peacefully (except when playing call of duty, grr!) each to their own and all that .
Expect more reviews, silly diary type posts, pugs unicorns and cake. Maybe even recipes if I can be arsed. I’ve heard many good things about the vegan way, not least how it’s helped people with various health issues. I thought, why not give it a try? I’ve got nothing to lose and everything to gain so … Here I am . Guinea pigging myself, scurrying into the vegan world with my nose twitching and ‘wheep wheep wheeeeep’ing at anything vaguely chocolatey or cakey .. I hope you enjoy my rantings, ravings, reviews, reservations and ramblings.
 Ciao for Now!
