Hello everyone and welcome back to my second blog post! Thank you 




so much for the continued support I have received from creating these platforms not only on my Instagram but as well as here with all your lovely comments I love reading them and I am so encouraged.

Throughout this last week I have been trying to slowly merge into new and healthier habits, but it proves very difficult as sometimes I must admit I do forget and lose focus. This past week I have tried to snack and binge less on unhealthy things such as crisps and biscuits etc and when I do, I try an opt for something healthier such as fruit, yoghurts or DIY smoothies!

I made a trip to Starbucks with my friends one evening and decided to try one of the dairy free milk options in my iced caramel latte instead of the usual milk. I chose oat milk as the alternative and was surprised at how similar it did taste to milk but I have to admit I will be trying the other milk options to see if I can find a better one suited to me! All the Starbucks syrups they use are already vegan which helped a lot as I did not have to adjust my order too much.

During the middle of the week in town my friend and I visited the Juice Jar for a quick stop off for something around lunch time, we both got the acai pot which was a particularly good choice! It was a thick smoothie bowl made from acai, strawberry, apple and banana which was all topped with crunchy granola, flax seeds, chia seeds, sliced almonds, strawberries, kiwi and blueberries along with a spoonful of peanut butter. This all happened to be vegan by chance which I loved and was surprised everything tasted so good and was so healthy, so no doubt I will definitely be back for more soon or even try a few other vegan choices from their menu. 


This week I have also been enjoying the Alpro yoghurts which are 100% plant based and can come in many different flavours. I bought big tub of the plain coconut one and was surprised at how much I really liked it! I tend to have it with a variety of fruits which we have in the house, so this week I topped it with raspberries, strawberries and chopped up mango which I will definitely be having again soon and will have to go back to the shop to check out their other products they do.

  The UK cosmetics market is huge! It is rapidly growing all the time and in fact it has been named as the third largest market operating in the UK. If any of you wear make up like me you will most likely know what brands you love and what brands you do not, you know what works for you and what doesn’t. But do you consider if the make up brands you are using and supporting are perhaps cruelty free? I must admit I do not eagerly look into the make up I am buying which I probably should, as I buy out of convenience and usually buy as and when I need certain products. A number of big brands within the beauty industry are known for being not cruelty free and that has put them under scrutiny for some time by many consumers. An example of this you may be thinking of is Mac. This is because their products are sold in China and China requires animal testing to happen on finished cosmetics in order to be sold. They may not be testing on animals themselves, but they approve of and pay fo...

  Hi everyone and welcome to my first ever blog post! Thank you so so much for following me and I hope you will enjoy the content that I am going to be producing both on my Instagram @_ohmyvegan  as well as this blog.  My name is Amy Dunne and I am nineteen years old currently studying marketing at Ulster University Jordanstown and I am now in my second year. For part of my Digital Marketing module we were asked to create a professional social media page as well as a blog to regularly upload on, all based on a topic we are interested in. These social media pages are so we can engage digitally with a wide audience and to make ourselves known in order to help us gather research for a future assignment. I decided to create mine on a new health journey I am embarking on, in the hope to eventually become Vegan! I will be doing so by small changes made in my diet in order to improve my overall well being and feel better in myself by doing so. This is going to be such a challeng...
