Not into any of this?

If you’d rather put money into giving back, there are a lot of sanctuaries up and down the UK that dedicate their resources, energy and time to taking in animals rescued from the meat and dairy industry, which means they can go on to live a life free of cruelty and exploitation. Take your friends, your partner or yourself along and get involved. You can find all the organisations that are local to you here.

Hi Dear Dori!

February many countries celebrate the date that in Brazil is on June 12. Nor do I understand that here is not June 13, St. Anthony's Day, the Holy Matchmaker. They welcome your suggestions. For me, please, I need a boyfriend who is good! lol

Xoxo
