One month in // Arctic Fox Pink

It's been a month already. Wow. I'm really impatient when it comes to reviewing hair dye and always want to jump on the review-train as soon as my hair is shiny and new but this time I decided to actually wait to give a real verdict [yes, there was an older blog post about it … Continue reading One month in // Arctic Fox Pink

Pink, again!

I needed to re-bleach my roots a few days ago and, with the roots comes the whole question of what colour to pop on top of fresh hair.

Vegan Mushroom Risotto / Recipe

I've been getting really good at risotto recently. It's always something I struggled with, despite being a decent cook, because I didn't have the patience to wait for the rice to soften but now I'm nailing it every time. I always make mine vegan but I do add chicken to my boyfriends plate once it's … Continue reading Vegan Mushroom Risotto / Recipe

When I became a vegan I wondered whether I would shed a few lbs because I was cutting out cheese and milk. The thing I realized quickly was that even before I had turned into a vegan monster I had already mostly cut those food groups out of my life anyway so it wasn’t that … Continue reading 4 pitfalls of being vegan
