If you were to visit my house you would notice that I have a lovely laminate grey wood flooring and no rugs, other than a rug which my mother made for me on her loom which is in our bedroom and a barrier rug at my front door to stop my dogs tracking mud throughout the house! I often consider getting something to add to the homely feel but fall short when deciding what sort of rug to get. I…
I admit that when it comes to cooking I am super lazy. If I can open a bag of salad and throw on some vegan protein then I am good to go. However, recently I have been trying to improve my skills and learn to be a bit more creative in the kitchen so when I was invited to take part in a cookery class at Jenius Social in London I was really excited!

It always seems like there is a lot to consider when planning…

I have to admit that since then I have mostly had basic vegan meals made up of simple veggies and protein options (often meat substitutes which require little to no cooking).

It has to be the room that’s the most inviting in the home, because at the end of the day it’s ultimately where you’ll end up.
