Buy vegan soaps and support non-binary folk

by

A few months ago, I blogged about a fabulous soap initiative being used to raise funds for crucial charities and social support groups.

Well, it’s time for an update.

The wonderful Bars of Hope is back with another fundraising drive this month, this time raising money for G(end)er Swap through the sale of their vegan-friendly bars of soap.

G(end)er Swap is a UK based LGBTIQ+ clothing outreach initiative and community interest company that supports gender non-conforming individuals to access clothes and community. They are a charitable organisation that creates safe(r) spaces for the queer community to access clothes through community pop-ups, bespoke workshops and exhibitions. G(end)er Swap mainly operates in England and Wales.

Bars of Hope is donating 50% of money raised from the sales of their gorgeous vegan-friendly soaps in October to G(end)er Swap.

I’ve been using their soaps for the past three months or so and they are not only great quality but they smell amazing, too. They are lovingly handcrafted and carefully packed for shipping around the country.

When shopping via their Etsy store, you can choose from:

  • Translucent Lavender Soap with Fresh Lavender buds & Vitamin E Oil
  • PRIDE Edition – Cinnamon & Aloe Vera Rainbow Soap
  • Sweet Orange Essential Oil, Jojoba Oil & Fresh Orange Zest
  • Dreamy Soap – Sandalwood Essential Oil, Jojoba Oil & Assorted flower buds
  • Sweet Orange & English Rose Essential Oils, Shea Butter and Oatmeal Soap with Jojoba Oil
  • Tea Tree and Rosemary Essential Oils Handmade Shea Butter, Oatmeal Soap + Aloe Vera

Buy these fabulous soaps AND help raise crucial funds for this organisation. So much goodwill and winning and good vibes.

Click here to shop for soaps and have them shipped to your home or office.

Apparently their is another heatwave coming for this weekend in London, so you probably should know about this vegan ice cream option in Angel.

Launched this summer by Copperhouse Chocolate, the rich and smooth ice creams are coconut milk-based. In even more tempting news, the chocolate ice creams on the menu are flavoured with their very own Copperhouse Chocolate drinking chocolate mixes.

That’s right, London. You have a vegan chocolate shop. You knew this, right?

Exclusively available in the Copperhouse Chocolate cafe in Angel, you can have a scoop with a brownie or waffles, try a milkshake, or they can fill a take-home tub for you.

Mint Chocolate ice cream, made using their Mintchievous Hot Chocolate, is one of the most favourite flavours for milkshakes. Other rotating flavours include Coffee Caramel, made with Monmouth Coffee and swirled with Coconut Salted Caramel, and Raspberry Chocolate made with Raspberry Dream hot chocolate and swirled with a homemade raspberry puree.
