Hey lovelies!

I've been thinking recently that my blog needed a change, so i've spruced it up a little with a new template! I love it and i hope you guys do too!

I got this beauty of a playsuit about a month ago, and i've been trying to wear it every time the sun has made an appearance, but i think it may be time to give it up till next summer!...or maybe bust out the black tights? hmmm.

Is anyone else clinging to the tiny bit of summer left!!

As much as i adore autumn, i am just not ready to let go! i think i need to get over my strop though as i am currently sat wrapped up an a massive fluffy blanket, i need to accept it... summer has passed!

*whatever happened to the days when you would go back to school and england would be having a heatwave?!*

Raw Berry Vegan 'CheeseCake' Recipe

04:55

Here is the recipe for this delish raw vegan cheesecake i made, just a note that this recipe is in 'cup' measurements, i find it so much easier to measure this way when i'm cooking (you can get cup measures quite affordably in supermarkets!)

Ingredients:

1/2 cups Almonds

1/2 cup Buckwheat

1 cup Cashews

1/2 cup Dates

1/2 cup Frozen berries

1 Frozen Banana

• Soak cashews in water overnight

• For 'biscuit' layer put buckwheat, almonds and dates into the food processor/blender, then pat down into a cake tin, then place in freezer for a couple of hours

• For 'cheese' layer put half of the cashews and the frozen banana and blend until creamy , spread over the 'biscuit' and pop back into the freezer

• Add the other half of cashews and frozen mixed berries (or any frozen fruit) to blender and blend until creamy, then spread over the 'cheese' layer, pop some fruit on top and pop back into the freezer until it holds itself together!

Enjoy!

Guys, where the heck did summer go?!! there has been not nearly enough sun! Hopefully it will be one of those late summers this year because i have not had my fill!

Since becoming vegan (in what i eat) it's started spreading out into all areas of my life. I've been only buying cruelty free cosmetics for about a month now, and it's amazing to see how few companies on the high-street are cruelty free which is so sad, but with a tiny bit of effort and research i've found tons of products, and even some of my favourite cosmetic brands are cruelty free! I'm working on a blogpost featuring all of my favourite cruelty free drugstore products so look out for that!

A week by the coast...

06:56

Hey Lovelies!

I recently went to visit my mamabear, who happens to live by the sea! So my sister and i packed up my little panda and went on a roadtrip (My first roadtrip since passing my test! Scary stuff!)

We had a lovely week together and i took a few (too many) pictures so i thought i would share some of my favourites with you!

Being by the coast is one of the very few places i feel completely at peace and truly happy and i cherish anytime i get to go

The sunset on this day was breathtaking, it kept changing colours! Plus it was a full moon which made it even more beautiful.

Last weekend i went to a beautiful summer wedding in the Cotswolds! The problem is my style doesn't exactly fit 'dressed up wedding' or 'formal' at all! So i struggled to pull together an appropriate outfit, it all came together when my friend lent me this beautiful satin Topshop midi skirt, i then pulled out some bits from my wardrobe that i thought went well with it, i felt like such a lady!
