I choose to be vegan not to long ago,it just all of a sudden came to me. I'd done it before n loved it,so why did I ever stop I thought. I researched about being a vegan while bein pregnant n couldn't see anything bad about it. When I saw my midwife n told her about my diet change she said the only thing I may have to worry about was my iron levels,which is normal for anyone pregnant. I have really gotten back into being a vegan, and being an activist about it. Since becoming vegan again not only do physically feel better, I feel mentally better because I have become alot more passionate about things that matter to me. I've even decided to start making things to sell again,and to donate some of the profits to animal rights charities.I have set up the etsy shop,and have been knitting things like fingerless gloves as well it is always cold somewhere! I just need to make more things get them ready and take pics of them to put on the etsy shop. I hope to have done all of this atleast by the end of the month.
I remade a tumblr and searched one word, vegan, and found just so many amazing people! I did the same on twitter and also found loads of amazing people there to! It's been so inspiring to see all of these people and to take in alot of new info about stuff to do with bein vegan aswell. I've even bought a few books, one of them I have read alot n really love n that also led me to finding more vegan people n their blogs aswell. It is called "the vegan girl's guide to living" and is by melisser elliott,also known for her blog the urban housewife. It has an intro of lots of different parts of veganisim and has all these profiles on vegan people and their storys,and business's that they've started to sell vegan based goodies. There are recipes,crafty tips and info on te best cruelty free beauty products aswell. I also bought "vegan with a vengence" that is a recipe book for 150 cheap and interesting recipes. I haven't read that much but I'm sure when I have I will share what I thought!
I also bought myself this uber cute tee of ebay!
And me n Clark went with my aunt who is also a vegan to the local animal rights group meeting. Were helping out on a stall to tell people the realitys of greyhound racing on saturday n I think me n Clark will be going to a demo against the building of a pig factory farm in matlock on monday to. SO yep I have been busy!
I have also been busy online aswell,sharing info about things I've found on twitter n tumblr, and helpin out on peta2's campaigns against seal slaughter and how mcdonalds treat chickens.
All of this makes me happy. I feel better since my change and am sad that I had that blip with the meat while bein pregnant :( to be honest I did it out of curiosity n did not like it one bit! It made my body feel disgusting! And not even work properlly if you get me lol!
Clark is kinda vegan due to what we buy when we go shopping and he seems to be enjoying it to. So that's cool! We have talked about how we will be raising our baby on a vegan/vegi diet aswell n think that it is a good way to raise a healthy child to. We watched a show called junk food babies yesterday n it was just disgusting! All these young toddlers bein fed so much junk n eating up to 3000 calories a day! Thats more 1000 than a grown woman needs in a day! I just don't get how people think that feeding childern junk food will be ok for them. Anywho I won't get started on that.
Anywho life is going amazingly well :) clarks friends neighbour needed to rehome a few kittens so we said we would happily have them,at first we thought of only havin one but when the lady said there were only two left I just didn't want to split them up! They will be fed on a vegi diet aswell, my aunt has like 4 cats, 1 recently died due to licking some kind of antifreeze product n got ill :( but anywho yes she had 5 cats all on a vegi diet n they are all perfectly healthy n active n happy n have fantastic fur n eyes to! So no scabby skin or dull eyes or lazy unnutritioned cats! We have to wait about 3 weeks to have them as they aren't old enough but that will give us time to get all the things we need. We have decided to call them edgar n lily,as there is one black boy n one tortoise shell girl. We will be gettin them nutured, as well if you don't one animal can give birth to just an amazing amount of babies n that leads to more homeless cats n dogs!
I am 24 weeks this week n my bump is growin ever more bigger! I feel HUGE right now and my body feels so weird. I've started to become even more achey day by day aswell. I can't believe theres only 16 weeks to wait to meet our lil baby!! We have most of what we need n stuff n we have one name it is dylan n we really think that the baby is a boy.
And finally my enviromental studies course is goin well and I am really enjoying it and learning new things!
