Very Much Vegan

I've always been an animal lover ever since I was young. But I never made sense of how I could watch my pet goldfish while eating a tuna sandwich and believe it to be okay. I recently watched a horrific video about farm animals and it basically just reminded me of why i decided I wanted to be vegan in the first place.

Vegan:

A person without consumption of animal meat or products produced by animals.

I've recently decided to continue my experience as a vegan, one of the many reasons being that it's the only way that demolishes my support of farm animal cruelty.

Every year, billions of farm animals are mistreated and abused from the day the are born to when farmers think they are no longer of use to them. Whether they be pigs & piglets or chicken & chicks. They brutally slaughter these farm animals, lacking the compassion and protection that they so deserve all throughout their lives.

 Many complain that becoming vegan is difficult and too extreme but honestly, if you're dedicated and passionate enough you'll find that it's not actually a hard lifestyle to achieve. Consider the process to becoming vegan like a marathon. If you sprint flat out in the first minute, you'll burn all your energy & eventually breakdown. As of now I'm a vegetarian, but I'm working my way up the ranks and cutting as I go.

What I found the hardest, was believing that I was alone in the process. Living in a place that has close to zilch vegan restaurants, with parents that don't agree with your diet makes life difficult but there is always a choice. even though it may not meat the eye at first.
I found comfort in watching vegan youtubers & following vegan accounts. The ones that document their life on their eating habits, helped me significantly. Some of my favorites include:

 I'm not gonna bother explaining what exactly veganism is and why it exists, as my words won't do it justice. Here are some videos that clearly explain what vegans are all about:

CASE: DAWGS ARE BACK

SERIAL NO: EL-DAWG

EL-DAWG (ELS_ODONELL)

Previously when I've blogged about my DAWGS, I mention how one member of the pack wasn't able to make it. Fortunately she finally decided to show up on her way up to India :) Coincidentally we all turned up in Denim. If that doesn't prove how legit out pack is, I don't know what will!

 Here's a little look into our day!

We went out for Slappy Cakes which was to die for. Bascially, you can make your own pancakes with the batters they provide and choose any toppings 'n' fixins that you desire. If you've ever seen a pancake art video, this is where they come in handy. Issy didn't feel like making any so she ordered off the menu some pancakes for herself.

The day was a blast and a half. We spent the rest of that evening, shopping, wall-hunting and chatting our ears off. But as good things must always come to an end, However catching up and laughing till our eyes were wet and our stomachs hurt was true bliss while it lasted.

The DAWGS are literally a group of the greatest people in my life. I don't know what or who I would be without them, they are my family and now since Ain has moved to Japan, we've become a globally spread family. Even though we're time zones apart, I know I can always count on them <3 

Love you girlies to death xx
