the '2007 vegan diet' (what i eat in a week)
2007 vegan diet challenge: what i ate before today's vegan options existed ever wondered what being vegan was like before oat lattes, beyond burgers, and actual restaurant options? in this video, i’m throwing it back to 2007—the year i went vegan—to show you what we actually ate back then. no fancy alternatives, barely any pre-made meals, and zero mainstream awareness. it was all about accidentally vegan foods, health store finds, and making things work. along the way, i’ll share what being vegan in the ‘00s was actually like, the struggles of eating out, and how much things have changed. were you vegan back then? what do you remember eating? let me know in the comments! weekly newsletter: https://veganbeautygirl.substack.com/ follow me on... insta: www.instagram.com/veganbeautygirl tiktok: www.tiktok.com/@veganbeautygirl wanna work together? email: veganbynicole@gmail.com
project pan: how to do it RIGHT.
i have too many beauty products… it’s time for project pan. safe to say, things have gotten out of hand. 17 lipsticks, 14 perfumes, 9 body washes, 10 hair masks… how did this happen when i swear i’m an eco-conscious girly?! 😭 today, we’re having a reality check. i’m taking stock of everything i own, setting some serious project pan goals, and committing to using up my stash before buying anything new. not only will this save me money 💸 (which we love), but i also live in a house share, and space is not unlimited. plus, being constantly gifted products as an influencer has really made me rethink my relationship with beauty. i love a good haul, but at what cost? so in this video, i’m breaking down: ✔️ what project pan is and how to do it ✔️ a full inventory of my entire beauty collection (it’s bad) ✔️ the products i’m actually going to use vs. donate ✔️ how to avoid overbuying & impulse purchases in the future if you’ve ever found yourself drowning in beauty products you swore you’d use but totally forgot about, join me on this journey! let’s make 2025 the year we shop our own stash, save money, and actually use what we have. ✨ let’s chat in the comments: have you ever done project pan? what’s the one product you never seem to finish? weekly newsletter: https://veganbeautygirl.substack.com/ follow me on... insta: www.instagram.com/veganbeautygirl tiktok: www.tiktok.com/@veganbeautygirl wanna work together? email: veganbynicole@gmail.com

why is everyone mad that unilever bought wild? 🤑
wild deodorant being bought by unilever has left a lot of people feeling frustrated — and honestly, i get it. in this video, i’m chatting through why this isn’t quite the eco win it’s being sold as, what it means when a big corporation buys a small green brand, and why many of us no longer want to support wild. i’ll also share what i use instead, plus a few refillable + cruelty-free alternatives if you’re looking to make the switch too 💚 links: why i hate plastic free deodorants https://youtu.be/E250n5No9LI?si=9c6cq2XNvG3R3zOM handy reddit post https://www.reddit.com/r/veganuk/comments/1jxcx16/deodorant/ green peace vs unilever https://www.greenpeace.org/international/press-release/63892/unilever-sells-1700-highly-polluting-throwaway-plastic-sachets-per-second-greenpeace-reveals/ ben and jerrys vs unilever https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ckg8pk9rpx4o weekly newsletter: https://veganbeautygirl.substack.com/ follow me on... insta: www.instagram.com/veganbeautygirl tiktok: www.tiktok.com/@veganbeautygirl wanna work together? email: veganbynicole@gmail.com
in defence of 'fake meat' 🌭 | vegan what i eat in a week :)
vegan meat gets so much bad press—too processed, too unhealthy, no place in a “good” diet. but let’s be real: not all UPFs are the same, and fake meat has a huge role to play in making plant-based eating accessible, nutritious & sustainable. 🌱 why fake meat isn’t the villain: helps recreate meals we love = easier swaps protein-packed & often healthier than meat way better for the planet (beef vs tofu? no contest) factory farming is the real issue—95% of UK chickens & 3/4 of farmed animals are factory-farmed 🍽️ this week’s meals: ✅ vegan sausage pasta bake (yes, they’re UPFs—but so are regular sausages!) ✅ chickpea pancake w/ salad & vegan cheese ✅ butter bean & artichoke pesto pasta 📖 further reading: 🌍 climate impact of meat vs vegan diets: https://www.ethicalconsumer.org/food-drink/climate-impact-meat-vegetarian-vegan-diets 🚫 factory farming & misleading ads: https://adfreecities.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/The-cows-arent-laughing_Adfree-Cities_Oct-2023_Final.pdf?utm_source=chatgpt.com 💬 do you eat fake meat? would you swap it in more? let’s chat in the comments! -- weekly newsletter: https://veganbeautygirl.substack.com/ follow me on... insta: www.instagram.com/veganbeautygirl tiktok: www.tiktok.com/@veganbeautygirl wanna work together? email: veganbynicole@gmail.com
