When I first started becoming vegan I was worried about giving up meat and cheese, I thought it would be really hard, and it was. But something I knew would be easy for me to give up was leather. Why? Firstly, leather is unbelievably cruel, secondly leather is so unnecessary with all the vegan-friendly alternatives , thirdly, I’ve never really been into leather, haha. But in general, without the argument of ‘it tastes good’, I personally think that giving up leather is something everyone can do very easily – vegans and non-vegans alike. When people ask me for advice on how to become vegan, I say: step by step. And in my opinion, the easiest (and thus the first step) is giving up leather. But is it really easy to give up leather? Is leather even cruel? And if it is, are there any luxury vegan bags out there that actually look good? In this post I’m going to look at: Is leather vegan?

Irish motorists are being reminded that they have a responsibility to make sure their car is in safe running order, even if there are long delays in getting appointments for statutory NCT tests, writes Brian Byrne. Tom Dennigan of Continental Tyres Ireland says  there are a number of simple checks that motorists should regularly carry out on their vehicle. “For example, with your car’s tyres, the vehicle’s only contact with the road, a tyre check can be done very simply and quickly by checking the tread depth and tyre pressures as well as keeping an eye out for any bumps or bulges in the tyre,” he says. “As tyres are consistently in the top five reasons for a failure in the NCT, motorists should get into the habit of performing these simple checks at least every two weeks and certainly before a long journey.” Since the introduction of the National Car Test in 2000, Tom Dennigan says the initiative has ‘done a great job’ in ensuring the vast majority o...

Readers, please join me welcoming Gary Stelzer , author of The Cost of Dreams who’s guest blogging here today! In this book, Gary, a retired Midwest physician, draws upon an ordeal of one of his most memorable patients for a novel that’s both a powerful, compelling page-turner and a poignant illumination of a woman’s-and a people’s-struggle to survive. Flora Enriquez trusts that she has found safe haven for her young family in the remote U.S. Southwest, after fleeing the murderous environs of Central America where her parents were slain in a civil war. Only to find that all of her life’s greatest challenges, by far, still lie before her. DREAMS  A book reviewer asked me yesterday if the title of my first novel had always been THE COST OF DREAMS. I answered, “no.” I had called an earlier, much longer, and terribly flawed draft THE DISAPPEARED ONE. A potent and intriguing enough title I think, and not at all a bad fit for the later manuscript. But I mad...
