Over my almost three decades of being vegan, I’ve seen it all. Amazing products and superstar brands that felt like they could change the world, only to disappear completely from the landscape.
And then there are brands that have proved every trend wrong and stood the test of time… like Booja Booja!

If you had told me when I started this blog way back in 2010 that I would still be churning out posts most days in 2026, I really wouldn’t have believed you.
It has been a wild journey being the sole force behind an online publication such as this.
And as the online world continues to morph, shift, and change, I’m struggling to understand how relevant a blog is in this current digital landscape of highly-responsive algorithms and artificial intelligence. Does writing about new vegan restaurants, upcoming events, and my personal take on a wide range of topics on this platform still matter?

London is incredibly expensive and nothing makes this clearer than the rental market.
In this episode of Tell Me Where I’m Going (Wrong), Josh and I discuss the rental crisis impacting working class people in the UK capital. It has gotten to the point where people are renting out caravans in their back gardens.
We also chat about the record breaking achievements of pop stars Madonna and Kylie Minogue, the recent partial eclipse seen around the UK, and other mysteries of the universe!

National Racehorse Week is coming to the UK from 22nd to 31st August, 2026 and it is the perfect reminder why we should be questioning the entire premise of horse racing.
Presented as an opportunity to celebrate these magnificent animals and showcase the world of racing, it is really another glossy PR exercise designed to keep alive the myth that forcing horses to race is noble, thrilling, and somehow good for the animals involved.
It isn’t.
Horse racing is cruel, unnecessary, and built around exploiting vulnerable, sentient animals for human entertainment and profit.
