vegetarian-article-feature-pic3

I think it has been born out of curiosity rather than out of aggression but the question of “So … why are you vegetarian?” has been thrown at me a fair bit lately. So I thought I would use this forum as a bit of a platform to answer yo’ questions. For ease of reading […]

I’m sure, if you have your finger on the ‘wellness’ pulse, you’ve come across the concept of Oil Pulling.

GREEN UP YOUR LIVING SPACE

Green-Taxidermy

I know one thing, ok two things, to be very very true. At birth I was gifted with both a curious mind, and cursed with a black thumb. Since my little journey into fully fledged adulthood, I have killed a countless number of plants, vegetables and flowers. I know. What a shitty little vego, one […]

I had a profound realisation whilst in a sea of boxes during my recent move … I own a LOT of books. Some women collect shoes, some handbags and some (kindreds of your truly) collect books. I have accumulated some (I dare not say the number) of books over the years – that span a […]
