As January wraps up, I want to reflect on some changes I’ve made that I plan to maintain throughout the year. I've learned that setting intentions, rather than just making resolutions or goals, is a more grounded way to approach change.

While working from home, I'm always on the lookout for tasty and healthy snacks, so I wanted to share two favourites. These Apricot and Coconut energy balls are not only delicious but also packed with satisfying coconut oil and oats. Plus, they freeze well for bulk preparation. The chocolates are great too; I enjoy them a bit bitter, but you can sweeten them with a touch of maple if you prefer!

The bathroom is often one of the most wasteful spaces in our homes.

Typically, items like toothbrushes, toothpaste, floss, shampoo, and shower gel come in single-use plastic packaging. However, after doing some research, I've discovered various reusable or compostable options that can help us live more sustainably. Here’s what I use to reduce wasteful packaging as much as possible.

One of the best pieces of advice from Marie Kondo was to make your kitchen not only functional but also easy to clean.

When it comes to gifting the best advice I have ever received is that you shouldn’t give something you wouldn’t gladly receive. With that in mind here are a few beautiful things I adore and would be delighted to receive also.

Although this Christmas will be more low-key, I still want to make it special. I'm always searching for delicious, satisfying, and beautiful vegan desserts, and this coconut and berry mousse fits the bill perfectly.

It's hard to believe that next week is December, marking the end of a year that has brought significant change to our reality. Looking back to January feels like both a moment and a lifetime ago. While I recognise the person I was then, I feel transformed. This year has taught me a lot, and I wanted to share my reflections.

A wholesome and delicious plant-based meal.

This recipe is a go-to for its thick, creamy dressing that makes kale both satisfying and delicious. Kale's sturdy nature allows the dish to be made the night before without losing flavour. Apple cider vinegar is essential to the dressing, while toppings like seeds and dried fruit can be personalised based on what you have on hand.

I've been meaning to write this post for ages, as finding a good cruelty-free hair colour was the last piece of my beauty switch. I’ve been seeing Lily at DaveyDavey for nearly two years now, and I always leave feeling great thanks to the lovely vibe and how she does my hair.

I'm so excited to share that I've curated my favourite products on Luia.Eu After switching to a vegan and cruelty-free lifestyle over six years ago, I found it tough to navigate labels, company values, and packaging to find products that worked.

In June, Green Aware challenged me to make simple, practical changes at home to reduce single-use plastic. I discovered key areas where I could make a noticeable impact without drastic measures.

I recently turned 37 and it’s always nice to take stock of a few lessons life has taught me over the years.

I was lucky that some restrictions lifted just in time for my July birthday. Since I hadn’t seen my friends in a while, they were excited when I suggested food and wine in the park. I spent the morning cooking and setting up, then took about 30 minutes to get ready, though it’s actually a quick look!
