Day at the Free From & Allergy Show and V Delicious Show

Hello lovelies, as mentioned in my previous post (Organic and Natural Beauty show) I was going to a Free From and Allergy show and V delicious show this weekend just went. And I did. Basically there's two events in the same venue, half of the venue was companies selling natural/ organic products and allergy products and the other half was vegetarian and vegan food and drinks. I used to feel sorry for those who were allergic to gluten because it meant that there are lot they can't have but after going to this show I changed my perspective as there were so many gluten free products.

Anyways, I started with the V Delicious show. There were so many gluten free bread companies, and tried almost all of them. Yes, I was there mainly for the food lol.

There too many people that I couldn't even bothered to walk the whole venue. I wanted to look for natural fitness products but didn't seem to find much.

These are some pretty gluten free cupcakes!


My shoppings and freebies


I bought a pack of gluten free tagliatelle, they were selling it for £1. They also did a chick pea fusili but they were sold out :(


I immediately tried it when I got home. I liked it, it tasted much better than normal pasta and I loved the chewy texture. It's made with rice flour and corn.


If you're a regular reader of mine you will know I have Good's hemp protein fit shake and guess what? Good was there. There were selling hemp milk and hemp oil. I bought two carton's of milk for £2. It tastes a bit like vanilla and my mum doesn't like the taste. Weirdo! lol



Aduna was there too. In my previous post about my day at the Organic and Natural Beauty show, I mentioned that Aduna was my favourite company as they were different from the others. This time I did buy something, 170g of fruit pulp loose powder for £15, as a student that is not cheap at all but considering all the benefits it has for the body and skin its well worth it! Oh just a reminder, it is 100% natural baobab fruit pulp.


This is Dr. Bonner organic castile soap. I have been looking to buy castile soap because I have been looking to make my own shampoo. As you may know, shampoos contain a lot of harsh chemicals. I found out that castile soap can be used as a gentle shampoo. Castile soap don't contain any harsh chemicals, it is made with vegetable oil only. Castile soap has a lot of uses, can be used a shampoo, an alternative to toothpaste, laundry detergent, washing up liquid, used to wash vegetables and many more. I bought the green tea scented one. £10 for 1 litre, I felt it was worth it because its about £8.79 for 472ml in Holland & Barrett and Planet Organic.


I bought an organic self tan lotion from the brand Green People for £14. I sort of regret buying this now lol. This is in a cream form, but Tanorganic (the company that I saw in Organic & Natural beauty show) is oil based and I prefer that. 

 

The sachets were freebies from Green People. The little block thing is a handmade soap by another brand which I have forgotten the name lol.


Another freebie, cooking coconut oil.


And finally a free sachet of organic hemp seed


Did you go to any of those shows? Do you like organic and natural products?
