I have develop a passion for natural and healthy life style, starting with a vegan life style including regular exercising each day. Which helped to feel inspired and happy within myself. my diet is very restricted due to severe allergies! When ever a food triggers a hostile response from the body's immune system the result is an allergy attack, which on occasion may be life-threatening although it's relatively simple to identifying problem foods, avoiding them completely is not always easy. My journey with allergies hasn't been easy "but" it has helped me to becomes a stronger person and would like to share and encourage others to never get discouraged, there's always light at the end of the tunnel if you keep persevering.

  1. Thank you, the strange thing is I accidentally use black food colouring because the red and black food colouring looks the same, all I had to do is read the labels. So I had to call it a black velvet cake, and as much as the girls hate soya cheese I barely got a chance to enjoy my cupcakes it was all gone in no time.😂 thanks again hope you had a lovely Christmas and New Year holiday, nice to have back again. Enjoy the rest of your day.
