This month, I decided to jump on the vegetable bandwagon and do #Veganuary.

Having heard a lot about the demons of dairy, I took the plunge – mainly for health reasons (and to try and lose a few of those Christmas Camembert pounds, too)

With that said, I headed to the shops on the 2nd January (New Years Day was a write-off given a killer hangover that could only be cured by cheese) to stock up on soy milk, quinoa and chickpeas.

I took the ‘fail to prepare, prepare to fail’ mantra in my stride and over the course of the month made a quinoa salad, ratatouille, a spinach and chickpea curry, a kale and tofu stir fry and possibly the tastiest mousakka I’ve ever eaten.

The biggest hurdle was definitely eating out. I’ve never been a fussy eater, so having to be that person and awkwardly tweak a menu took some getting used to. Skipping the poached eggs at brunch with avocado and toast and swerving the halloumi in a veggie burrito was tough. So tough.

I became a pro at reading labels and when in doubt, Google always had my back.

Single this V-Day? Don’t sweat it. Here are five reasons why you don’t need no man…

2017 is the year for independent women

Ever since the iconic moment those curly locks were premiered on The X Factor *swoon*, it started a never-ending love affair for many of us. And yes, when 1D really became successful, the ‘I prefer Zayn’ traitors reared their disloyal heads but we all know that from the start, it was all about Harry.

So what is it about Mr. Styles that makes him so bloody gorgeous !? Oh, I can name a few things…

As told by Rachel Green’s relationship history… because she’s been there, done that!

The One That Wasn’t Right: Barry

Whether you knew it from the beginning or did a Rachel and just ran at the altar, there was nothing exactly WRONG with this relationship… something just wasn’t right. It may have been tough but you know it was the right decision – the world is now your oyster!

Fal

Ah, house sharing… learning life lessons whilst trying to keep sane in an intense, and often unbearable environment. The time that brings out the best and the worst in those closest to you.

If you’ve ever shacked up with pals, you’ll most likely recognise one or more of the below. And in all likelihood, you’ll fit neatly into one of these categories too…

1. The Food Thief

The always anonymous and ever-hungry. The one who gets in after a night out and treats the communal fridge as an all-you-can-eat buffet. The one your anger edges towards when you find there is no bacon to fulfil your barm in which you have oh so sacredly prepped the night before. Whether it’s a drop of milk or a whole pizza – they’re the reason you have trust issues.

Good films are like good friends. They’re always there to pick you up when you’re feeling down, can cure any kind of boredom and sometimes make you laugh uncontrollably.

I’m a huge film addict, and one of my favourite pastimes is procrastinating from my dissertation and binging on Netflix (not that I would recommend my lifestyle choices!)

So what are the must watch films that everyone must see at least once? Grab your popcorn guys, because I’ve created the ultimate, bingetastic, can’t-live-without film list.

From one Daddy’s girl to another, I just wanna wish you a V Happy Father’s Day! It’s time to change up your profile pic to an adorable throwback and enjoy six truly embarrassing Dad traits that we secretly would never have them without…

1. The You Can’t Go Out Dressed Like That Moment

Whether it was that crop top that looked totally fetch with your A-line mini, the spaghetti strap dress you HAD to have for the school disco or the blue streaks you’d been perfecting in your hair, why did Dad always question your greatest style moments? OK we will admit that taking a coat was always a good idea that we thanked you for many times on the DL.
