The movement that has led many to go without meat, eggs, dairy and other animal products – for a month, or longer – is back

Here are five easy ways to take up the Veganuary challenge this month that will open your eyes to some exciting and delicious food choices while leaving you feeling fantastic – all while helping to reduce the suffering of animals.

1. Be part of a supportive community

Nothing beats having like-minded individuals cheering you as you make the transition to veganism, and participating in activities – or even joining organisations and Facebook groups – can give you just the boost you might need. Groups such as Hong Kong Vegan and Meatfree Hong Kong provide the opportunity for you to pose questions you have about going vegan – from where to buy what, to what to eat where in Hong Kong. Internationally, veganuary.com gives you the low-down on what being a vegan means – going without meat, eggs, dairy and other animal products – and how it can help make a difference.

2. Make-up with a conscience

Urban Decay x Kristen Leanne collection is a collaboration with vegan YouTuber Kristen Leanne.

Make-up brands such as Urban Decay, MOA, and Kat Von D are making it effortless for ladies to stay beautiful without harming the environment. Vegan and cruelty-free brands say a big no-no to animal testing and do not include animal substances in their products. To find your vegan beauty products and make sure they are legitimate, Green Common stocks a number of skincare products, while Sephora is good for cosmetics.

3. Apps for where to eat

Mobile apps can help you find the best places to eat out. Apps available include Green Queen, which gives you pointers on healthy – and vegan – places to nom in Hong Kong, and Happy Cow, which is widely known in the vegan community as a one-stop website and app for finding the best places for your vegan noms.
