Although the vegan lifestyle has been around for a long time, it has become more popular and notorious in our society in recent years. Despite some people considering this to be a new diet trend, veganism is much more than a diet: it is a movement characterised by respecting animals and covers things including diet and the defence of their fundamental rights.People who follow this lifestyle, vegans, refuse to eat food products of animal origin. But, is being vegan the same as being vegetarian? Below, we will analyse the so-called “veggietrend”and the benefits of being vegetarian.What is veganism?Veganism is a way of life where animals are considered to be equal, so they refuse to consume animals in their diets and in fashion, but also in areas in which they may suffer harm. Those who consider themselves to be vegan refuse to perceive animals as goods, transport or entertainment, in addition to a product to be used for experimentation in the cosmetics or pharmaceutical industry.Differences between the vegan and vegetarian dietHave you ever wondered what the difference is between the vegan and vegetarian diet? Both diet options have a similar base, vegetables, but if we look closely we can see some differences. Make a note of them!The reason for the diet:veganism is an ethical and moral attitude which isn’t just focussed on diet and is, therefore, stricter. For its part, the vegetarian diet also excludes animal meat, but the main objective is to have a diet which is as healthy as possible or to help to look after the planet.Prohibited foods:vegetarians don’t eat meat, but they can eat foods of animal origin. These include dairy, milk, gelatine or honey. In some cases, they also include fish or poultry in their diet. In terms of a vegan diet, it is more restrictive and excludes any product that comes from an animal.Vegans can be included within vegetarians, but not vice versa:many vegetarians opt for this type of diet to combat animal cruelty, but in a less restrictive way than vegans. Hence, the vegan diet could be considered as the “stricter” version of the latter group. Nowadays, there are different types of vegetarians depending on the degree of tolerance. The most common are:Pescatarians:those who eat fish, dairy and eggs, but not meat.Lacto-ovo vegetarians:people who consume dairy and eggs, but not meat or fish.Lacto-vegetarians:people who consume dairy, but not meat, fish or eggs.Vegans:those who don’t eat eggs, dairy or any type of animal derivative.

What is hygge style?Hyggeis a Danish word that describes a feeling, a moment and an experience all at the same time. According to Meik Wiking, the author of the book Hygge, Happiness in small things, hygge“consists of being with the people you love. A sense of home. Feeling safe, protected from the world and of being able to drop your guard. Whether you’re having an endless conversation about the little or big things in life –or just being comfortable in silence with another person-, or simply enjoying a cup of tea on your own.” It is what could be translated as wellbeing,here and now, and putting stress to one side.This concept is associated with one ofthe secrets of happiness; in fact, Denmark, where this concept originated, is one of the happiest countries in the world, and it seems that hygge contributes to this.Why have a hygge Christmas at home?Christmas itself is a very hyggetime, with its family reunions, preparing for parties, decorating the home, the special atmosphere created, etc. But apart from Christmas, hygge protects us from the general and consumer stress that surrounds us, particularly during the Christmas period.But apart from Christmas, hygge protects us from the general and consumer stress that surrounds usHygge decor ideasTo achieve the warmth of the hygge style and to create a welcoming and tranquil atmosphere, you should choose a decor that is predominantly made of wood, that has simplicity, and with soft lighting on the “pure” elements of Christmas, like the Christmas tree. You should also search out soft, warm textiles with delicate detail, a certain level of minimalism and things that are very natural.•The tree:a fir tree and 3 basic elements can be turned into a success. Use only small figures, some lights and a wooden star at the top. You can mix different styles, giving it a personal touch, but don’t over-decorate the tree too much.•Shelves and furniture: make the most of these for adding decorative items according to your style: garlands, little lights around a mirror, blankets on armchairs and sofas, etc.•The table: is an essential element for conveying the hygge spirit to all the diners. Use a well-ironed cloth table covering; choose a pretty table centre decoration with 3 or 4 elements that allows everyone sitting at the table to reach the dishes; choose different crockery to the one you normally have while keeping it unpretentious, but remember that just by changing the crockery, the dinner table will take on a different air; also take care of the small details: create labels for place settings with the names of the diners, use attractive salt and pepper pots, have water in a jug, offer the wine in a decanter, use attractive napkins, etc.•The front door: hang up a crown, a home-made decoration, a star, or a Christmas stocking. Even if it seems silly to you, these are the kind of touches that make a difference.
This year, get organized and get ready for Christmas as soon as possible! Follow these tips to have everything ready.
