Maidstone Vegan Festival | Summer 2017
This Saturday my boyfriend and I visited the Maidstone Vegan Festival as it is local to us and we were really interested to see what was going on. Outside, there was live music and hot street style food, as well as soft serve vegan ice-cream. There were so many different stands! There was an area to try vegan cheeses, milks and more, and there were so many different charities and companies present. It was a very busy day, the turn out was really big! I was surprised to see so many local people embracing veganism.

Lavera Basis Sensitiv All-Round Cream Review
Lavera is a brand I discovered recently when I was researching brands to publish The Complete Guide to Cruelty Free Beauty. Lavera has been producing a huge range of cruelty free beauty, skincare and haircare for over 25 years. The All-Round Cream is intensely moisturising, and the rich, buttery texture is gorgeous! It's a really great cream for anyone who suffers with dry skin, or prone to the occasional dry patch such as knees, elbows and heels.

Corkor Vegan Wallet and Vegan Coin Wallet Review
Earlier this week, we here at Friendly and Free were lucky enough to receive two vegan wallets from Portuguese brand Corkor. Corkor create handmade bags and wallets from cork, as a natural, cruelty free alternative to leather. Searching for a high quality, non-leather men's wallet is not an easy feat, and Corkor has filled a big gap in men's vegan friendly accessories, with price tags that aren't totally inaccessible.
