Vegan recipes and go-to brands for a healthy chocolate fix

January 13, 2019October 10, 2019 ~ Victoria

You can still eat chocolate even if you are vegan and even if you are trying to quit refined or questionable added sugars and sweeteners.  It’s so funny that the first thing many people said when I did a whole year of no added sugar (2017) was ‘I could never give up chocolate for a … Continue reading Vegan recipes and go-to brands for a healthy chocolate fix

Hi, I’m Victoria, wife, mum of two and full-time blogger.  Welcome to my healthy living blog.

I love healthy, natural living, organic food and being more eco-friendly.

I’m 100% plant based and follow a vegan diet.  My husband and kids are vegan too.  I don’t drink alcohol and limit added sugar.

I workout five times a week, mainly running and climbing, plus I love yoga too and need to find more time to practice.

I love exploring the countryside, long walks on beaches and climbing mountains.

I’m obsessed with trying to be as healthy as possible!

For the second year running we are taking part in the #Foodbankadvent organised by @ukmoneybloggers 😊✨🙌🏼 We will continue to do this every year to help those in need at Christmas 🎅🏼🧡 Food banks see a huge surge in their services in the weeks leading up to Christmas so need more donations at this time of year 👍🏼 By doing a #ReverseAdventCalendar you simply pop an item in a box every day in November for 25 days to donate to your local food bank 🥫 Check what they are in need of on their website so you don’t overload them with things they already have excess of 😊 It’s about raising awareness of their busiest time of the year and the importance of donating to food banks so no one goes hungry. It’s flexible, so donate what you can, buy it all at once if you want to and can afford to! 🛍 Check your cupboards too for anything long life that you don’t need ✨ Google ‘Lylia Rose food bank’ to see my main blog posts this year and last year to learn more 👩🏻‍💻 There’s a blog post on HealthyVix.com today too 🙌🏼 ✨✨✨ #foodbank #foodbanks #donate #donatefood #givetoothers #donations #charity #givetothoseinneed #christmas #christmasfood #dogood #dogoodfeelgood #dogoodthings #ukmoneybloggers #ukmoneyblogger #ukbloggers #lbloggers #lifestylebloggers #community #charitablegiving #charitable #christmascharity #charitybeginsathome #supportcharity #givebacktothecommunity #reverseadvent #reverseadventcalendar2019 #giveback

Concerned about waste? Did you know Brits throwaway over 100 million rolls of wrapping paper *just* on Christmas Day?! 😬😬😬 This year I have cut the wrap! Bella and Reuben’s presents are in these fabric sacks, with no wrapping paper. Don’t they look great? 🎅🏼🎅🏼🎅🏼 Plus, we can use them every year, forever more, saving trees, time, landfill waste and money! 🌳🌳🌳 I used to think we could recycle all wrapping paper, but most of it is plastic based! If it’s shiny, glittery, glossy or has foil, then that’s probably plastic and is contributing to the single-use plastic problem! 🌿🌿🌿 Recyclable paper options are better, but still intensive to produce and there are so many amazing reusable options instead! 🙌🏼🤞🏼👍🏼 I also love that these sacks will now create wonderful Christmas memories every year! I plan on using them right through to the children being adults so they’ll hopefully create happy feelings of nostalgia! ✨✨✨ Visit my website HealthyVix.com and search #CutTheWrap (currently 3rd article down) to take the challenge by @ecothrifty and learn more! 💚💚💚 If you hate wrapping, this method is a dream! No wrapping! 😂😂😂 #zerowaste #zerowastelife #zerowasteshopping #zerowastechristmas #zerowastechallenge #ecochristmas #reusablebags #reusablewrap #reusablegiftwrap #greenliving #greenchristmas #ecofriendly #ecofriendlyliving #reducereuserecycle #reducewaste #reducereuse #christmasgifts #wrappinggifts #ecogiftwrap #ecogifts #ecofriendlygifts #sustainableliving #reduceplastic #singleusesucks #greenliving #ecofriendlysolutions #ecoliving #lowwaste #sustainablechristmas #ecofriendlychristmas
Loving our new living room so much 😍 Everything is back in now. So pleased! Quite a pain having three rooms of artex removed and plastered when you’ve been living somewhere over 5 years. Lesson learned to do it first 😂 Just need to decide on a coffee table. Thinking round white top with retro wooden legs. Just got to find the perfect one 😊 🧡 🧡 🧡 #decor #decorationideas #homedecor #homedecorideas #orangesofa #orangesofas #livingroomdecor #livingroominspo #livingroomdesign #interiorstyling #decorlovers #homeimprovements #whitewalls #whiteandorange #realhomesofinstagram #realhomes #livingroomideas #cosyhome #orangedecor #myhome #myhomevibe #myhomestyle #myhomedecor #homedecorinspo #pocketofmyhome #homesweethome #interiorlovers #modernhome #modernhomedecor #interiordetails
We’ve got rid of so much plastic in the bathroom, so I’ve moved onto the kitchen to see where else we can become more eco-friendly and plastic-free 🌱 So happy to have found @ecovibeuk last week 🌿💚🙌🏼 Once our current sprays run out (plant-based of course), I have these sachets which dissolve in a bottle of water to make cleaning spray! I’ve got kitchen surface spray and window cleaner. With 5 sachets in a pack we’ll save a little money too compared to what we were paying for readymade bottles 💰💛✨ Also got a dish washing soap bar! I only wash by hand so this will stop us needing bottles of washing up liquid. And it’s mild enough to use the leftover water on plants 🌱🌱🌱 Also stocked up on bamboo biodegradable cotton buds 💚🌿🌱 . . . #natural #plantbased #plasticfree #plasticpollution #plantbasedcleaning #naturalliving #naturalcleaning #naturalcleaningproducts #plasticfreecleaning #zerowaste #toxinfree #eco #ecofriendly #ecofriendlyliving #ecofriendlyhome #nowaste #ecovibe #ecoliving #consciousliving #sustainableliving #sustainability #naturalproducts #naturalingredients #greenliving #greenbeauty #hbloggers #ecolifestyle #ecofriendlyproducts #sustainableproducts #toxicfreehome

Eek! New sofa number 1 has arrived! 🧡🧡🧡 Number 2 due later today! 🧡🧡🧡 Finally had artex walls and ceiling removed after 5.5 years and chose sofas we wanted for first time ever as we decorate our living room! #livingroommakeover 🧡🧡🧡 It was also a bargain! It’s £999 at Made (looks exactly the same)... this was £599 on eBay from city.sofa... my offer of £500 was accepted and eBay had an offer for £50 off purchases of £500 or more so we paid £450 and got a gazillion nectar points and Tesco Clubcard points. Boom! 🧡😊🙌🏼 . . . #decor #homedecor #homeinteriors #interiordesign #homedecorating #homeimprovements #minimalism #minimalliving #interiordecor #interiorandhome #pocketofmyhome #myinteriorvibe #myhousethismonth #interiorlovers #homedesign #myhomedecor #homedecorlove #whitewalls #whiteandwood #homedecorinspo #minimalhome #whiteliving #makeahouseahome #realhomes #homeinspo #livingroominspo #livingroomideas #livingroomdecor #orangesofa
