For optimal health, vegans should probably take su For optimal health, vegans should probably take supplements.

There, we said it.

In today’s sanitised and intensively-farmed world, the soil ain’t what it used to be baby!

But watch out! Many commercially produced supplements aren't vegan or sustainable!

So we’ve done some research into the key nutrients lacking in a vegan diet and found the best eco-friendly and ethical brands that supply them in supplement-form.

Here are our top picks:
🌿 Most eco-friendly = @drveganco
🌿 Build your own = @get_nourished
🌿 Fitness fanatics = @formnutrition
🌿 Best value = @myvegan

Of course, if you follow a balanced & healthy plant-based diet, you might not need every supplement.

Therefore, for an overview of which supplements you should be taking and a nifty comparison table of vegan supplement brands, follow the link in our bio for the full resource.

We mean in Ho Chi Minh, or Taipei, or Ubud. Views like this one have provided endless inspiration and motivation for Lucy and me.

Honestly, we’re not sure how we ever survived working 9-5 in buildings with no windows…so we’re super glad we’ve had the opportunity to work in multiple amazing locations across the world.

Struggling to find stuff to do during the second l Struggling to find stuff to do during the second lockdown?

Then our guest writer, Tanekka, has a fantastic suggestion: decorate your home!

Why not give your living room a lick of paint? Or liven up your bed with a new throw?

But did you know that most paint isn't vegan and that a lot of our bedding can be made from materials which are processed and grown using toxic chemicals including formaldehyde, arsenic and mercury (to name but a few)?!

Luckily, Tanekka has some sustainable decor tips up her sleeve, including the best vegan paints, eco-friendly floor varnish, zero-waste cushions, upcycled furniture, sustainable bedding, and environmentally-conscious home accessories.

Should I charge per article or hourly? By word or Should I charge per article or hourly? By word or project? How much is too much? And am I really worth it?

These are the questions that used to reverberate around my skull when I started out as a professional writer a few years ago.

My immaturity as a freelancer mingled with my lack of self-confidence and led me to make a few major mistakes. Not only did I lose out on earnings, but I perpetuated the issue that lots of freelancers face: the devaluation of our worth as professionals.

Nowadays, I am sure of my value. Rather than hinder my prospects, my assertion actually encourages clients and I am no longer "scraping by". Instead, I earn enough from a few long-term clients that I don't have to write all day every day. I have found financial freedom and only write 4 days a week!

In this week's live Q&A, Lucy and I will be talking about why it's important to figure out your freelance rates and to set boundaries to assert your value.

You are worth so much more than just 5p a word!

The Midnight Library by Matt Haig 📖 Alice gav The Midnight Library by Matt Haig 📖 

Alice gave me this book for Christmas and after quite a deep and hefty read (Under the Volcano by Malcom Lowry) I was pleasantly eased in to The Midnight Library with its easy flow and dynamic story line.

It took me just 3 days to read this book. I really struggled to put it down. 

Whilst it was incredibly quick & easy to read, it took me on quite the journey within my own mind. One that I am extremely thankful for.

During these difficult times it is easy to get stuck in your head, to focus on your regrets and your ‘rather be’s, but this story has helped me to reframe my mindset. 

I urge you to give it a read! And thanks Alice for such an amazing present 💝

Are you a kombucha drinker? Whilst it can't be de Are you a kombucha drinker?

Whilst it can't be denied that this delicious drink can contain lots of healthy microbes (as long as it's not pasteurised), there's little evidence to suggest that they make it through the acidic environment of our stomachs to the gut.

Moreover, shouldn't we be promoting the development of our own microbiome by eating healthy balanced plant-based diets with plenty of fibre and prebiotic foods, rather than tipping the balance by introducing only a few different species?

Join Carlie as she delves into the science behind kombucha and why it really isn't as healthy as marketing makes it out to be (read her blog on our website - link in bio)

p.s. we still love it though!

Throwback Wednesday...because, why not? This pic Throwback Wednesday...because, why not? 

This picture was taken when Lucy visited me in Korea. Our subsequent exploration of Seoul was fuelled by delicious hotteok, warming bibimbap and plenty of somaek (soju + beer) 

Who else has a crap memory but always remembers food so clearly?

Whenever Lucy and I travel together, we always plan our adventures around the local cuisine we want to try. 

There's something so magical about experiencing new food around the world, don't you think?

We've had to dig deeeeeep for this one...😅 Tra We've had to dig deeeeeep for this one...😅

Travel seems like a distant dream at the moment but there's not much anyone can do about that. We all just have to sit tight while our incredible frontline workers risk their butts to quell the pandemic!

Whether you've used this time to grow your business, learn a language, or simply sat back and binge-watched Netflix, we think everyone has shown amazing resilience and strength.

Well done on surviving 2020 🥂  give yourselves a pat on the back and go open a bottle of wine to celebrate...yes, we know it's 8am in the morning (it's ok to do that now, right?)

And to satisfy our travel cravings, we're working on our scrapbooks and getting nostalgic over old photos , like this one from our trip to Naples for Lucy's birthday in 2017! Yes...I used to have green dreadlocks 🤣

The pandemic has really taught us how to find comf The pandemic has really taught us how to find comfort in the calm.

We've gone from fast-paced lively travel to long dog walks & rolling countryside.

Initially, it was a bit of a shock to the system, but we've since found serenity in our surroundings. 

Because of this, we've been able to dedicate ourselves to our incredible community which we are now certain we can continue to build once it is safe for us to travel again.

What has the pandemic taught you?

Who else never has enough time in the day? We LOV Who else never has enough time in the day?

We LOVE cooking but sometimes life would be so much easier if we had pre-made dinners that simply needed heating up.

Unfortunately, a lot of ready meals are either not vegan, super unhealthy, or a huge waste of packaging.

So we made it our mission to discover THE BEST VEGAN READY MEALS IN THE UK.

Not only did we find 7 incredible plant-based brands, but we also managed to get you guys some amazing DISCOUNT CODES!

All of these brands are vegan, sustainable, tasty, AND nutritious.

From recycled and compostable packaging to carbon neutral deliveries, these vegan businesses are kick ass!
