Dating as a vegan (my best tips).

You would be surprised that I am not a dating expert but it is true. I am, of course, being sarcastic as I have very little experience in love. But I do know how it is to date a non-vegan who has no idea that plant-based ice cream exists and is surprised that…

How to inspire your family and friends to go vegan.

I have been vegan for eight years and managed to get my father to go vegan and my sister to eat mainly plant-based. While that sounds like very few people, it actually wasn’t that easy. It started fairly innocent, really. I discovered veganism and was so excited about the whole thing that I…

Have I ever wanted to stop being vegan?

I went vegan eight years ago, back in 2015. Needless to say, it changed my life completely. I went from a pizza-eating-Coke-drinking fast food junkie to a healthy and balanced version of myself. Like, a really balanced version of myself, the one that eats tofu and salads and drinks smoothies. That does not…

What hiking taught me about life.

Recently I went on a hiking trip with my aunts and I received important life lessons while doing so. Rather important lessons, might I say. As a Slovenian, coming from a nation of hikers, this activity is in my blood. But I still had to push myself and overcome some of the obstacles…

How antipsychotics and antidepressants saved my life.

It has been one year and five months since I started taking aripiprazole, and it has been ten months since I went on Prozac. These past year has been the best for my mental health since I can remember. Not just because of medicine, but because I truly found what works for me…

Dedicate yourself to your well-being.

Your recovery journey requires complete dedication from your side. It expects from you perseverance, vulnerability and openness. You must open your heart to it. I found that when I wasn’t available to recover emotionally, I wasn’t improving. What was expected from me was an absolute dedication to my well-being. When I gave it,…

My all-time favourite podcasts. Like, the best ones.

My most favourite thing besides reading books is listening to podcasts. They keep me occupied when I am experiencing boredom, or when I walk long distances with my dog. I listen to them when I clean, work out and before I fall asleep. Basically, all the time. That is why I am so…

Why Alpro is my favourite vegan brand.

Sometimes in the middle of the night, when I have trouble sleeping, I get up and make myself a cup of cappuccino. I know it’s not the healthiest thing to do but it calms me down, it relaxes me. But the secret of making a great cosy cappuccino is not in the amount…

Kind Natured, Afrodita and Revolution review.

I gifted myself with a few lovely products this winter because I am learning how to be good to myself. I went with two hand creams and a lip gloss, just to take care of my super pale lips. I already talked about being anaemic since childhood and how this results in me…

The only plant-based Alpro milk I like.

I am not a big fan of plant-based milk. I know this is an unpopular opinion but I have to be honest with you. Yet as a fan of my little cappuccino ritual every day when I watch Friends with a cup of warm beverage in my hands, I needed to find a…

Best hand creams for super dry hands (V+CF).
