Vegan Food + Vegan Fashion: Apple & Pear Smoothie

Apple and Pear Vegan Smoothie tastes delicious and is perfect to start off the day

It’s not often you’ll find me doing food posts, and especially the DIY recipes {I have little aversion towards cooking, months and sometimes years pass by when I actually cook something other than water}. But every now and then I try to share my vegan and vegetarian experiments that my very dear cook helps me put together. One of my recent experiments was Apple and Pear Green Vegan Smoothie, that turned out surprisingly delicious.

Apple Pear Green Smoothie – sounds so chic and healthy!! The colour was so tastefully green, not one of those green smoothies that scare you off. While this smoothie is perfect for the summer, served chilled, it also makes a great energy booster in the winter; when you want to start your day with a coffee but you’d rather have something that starts off the day delectably and keeps you refreshed all day to fight off that winter chill (and now I am almost sounding like a TV commercial — STOP THAT!).

When I saw this smoothie it immediately reminded me of my fluorescent green dress. Not so green, not so yellow…

Neon green with explosion of florals in grey, this dress was an online shopping risque, but I was completely sold at the colour and the cut out back and sunk in {thankfully}.

Apple and Pear Green Smoothie {Vegan Smoothie}

don’t travel solo…
“you’re married, go with your husband” — We’ve all heard this before… 
but here’s the truth… solo travel hits different.

you reconnect with yourself, travel at your own pace, do things you love {and finally do everything you wanted to but was always pushing it back}, 🍰 eat what you want (all those vegan desserts without anyone watching you ☺️🙃), talk to strangers (a lot), sit alone without feeling weird ….. and somewhere in all that, you meet yourself.

scary? Not at all.
worth it? every single time. ✨

Did you know your fav lipstick may have bug juice 🐞 ? Shocking?
Truth is - most lipsticks in the market contain 
🐞 carmine = crushed cochineal beetles
🐑 lanolin = grease derived from sheep’s wool (waxy greasy substance secreted by sheep’s skin)
🐝 beeswax = bee vomit

Who wants to slather their lips with bug juice? 
☺️ Didn’t think so.

Thankfully, there are plenty of brands doing it right. 💄  I’ve put together a handy list so you can shop vegan lipstick with ease:

👉🏻 #VeganLipstick Brands: 
@violette_fr, @elfcosmetics, @kvdbeauty @milkmakeup, @tower28beauty, @inikaorganic @axiology_beauty, @lilylolouk @rarebeauty, 

👉🏻 Cruelty-Free brands with Vegan options:
🐰 cruelty-free doesn’t mean a product is vegan. It simply means it’s not tested on animals, so be careful. 
@tartecosmetics @rmsbeauty, @doseofcolors (most products are vegan), @charlottetilbury, @glossier @urbandecaycosmetics @nyxcosmetics 

🇮🇳 Vegan Indian makeup brands
@asabeautyindia @kirobeauty @disguisecosmetics @colorchemistry.in @lovechildbymasaba @hyueofficial 

Next time you buy makeup – make sure it’s #crueltyfree and #vegan! And look out for 
- Natural Red 4
- E120
- *CI 75470 (misspelled in video as CI 17470 🙈)
- Carmine or Carmine lake
- Cochineal extract 
- Carminic Acid

👆🏼 they’re all different names of carmine (bug juice)

✨ Share this with a friend who loves makeup!
