everyone can gain from this <3

hellooo lovelies!

I have finally returned from my mental health hiatus, feeling quite good about myself and life in general. I do fancy doing a bit of a post telling you all the mysterious happenings of my time away from making original posts - if you would like to see that spam my ask inbox with some green emojis, you’ll be tagged at the end as a thank you for being active and supporting me!

Although, I will mention to you peeps now, that I do have some great plans for wilstudies, and I’ve got the rest of the week off school, so I’ll and be more productive to make them happen!

Over my hiatus I’ve been reblogging loads and loads of great resources to make up for my lack of original posts (eek sorry). And there has been so many great resources that I have put to use in my first two months of he school year, and so I’m just going to leave them all here for you to flick through!

much love, see you very soon peeps!

DISCLAIMER: some of the posts weren’t fully directed to their original blog, but I will try to give as much credit as possible!

- ̗̀ just a few vegan food blogs  ̖́-

minimalist baker !!!

the stingy vegan !!! (highly recommend if money is a concern)

hot for food !!

oh she glows !

the healthy maven

vegan heaven

- ̗̀ +more  ̖́-

carbs are filling and not expensive! 

eat wholegrain to be fuller for longer.

u don’t have to go 100% vegan! eat vegan meals! start w cutting out beef and mutton, then pork, then seafood, etc. go pescatarian! go vegetarian!

(foods w largest carbon footprint per kg)

minimise food wastage!! 

make sure u only cook / take what u can eat. if ur eating out and have leftovers, see if u can pack it to go (saving money & ur next meal is already settled, what could be any better?). 

don’t throw away leftovers, u can make a whole other meal w them (stir fry, as a side dish, fried rice, as a quick afternoon snack / supper).

shop local products! so much greenhouse gases are emitted just for transporting food across countries.

it’s crazy how much impact our food has on the environment (just look at how much goes into a single burger). but whether ur reasons for trying more vegan recipes is for the environment, for ur health, or just for exposure to more varieties of food, i hope this post will help and maybe inspire u to try out more foods and recipes!

5-5-18 Hello Tumblr! Update: I started my summer classes two weeks ago at a new uni. As some of you may know, I left my old school and chose to study at a bigger university. After all inquiries and deliberations, I got accepted at Centro Escolar University-Makati School of Dentistry! Quite a leap for me but I’m trying not to get too anxious 😂

Still working on my essay on postmodern fiction, but I finally wrote the title yesterday so I feel like I’m nearly done. It’s really hot and sunny here which has been slightly distracting but it has also been nice to sit and work outside sat on the grass in the little campus garden :–)
