The start of a new year also means Veganuary so, we figured this could not have come at a better time. We know that habits are hard to get into, but also, that having a partner while building habits, could make things way easier. So, what would you say if we told you that now you can realise your “going-vegan” goals while making new connections? It’s possible. Here’s everything you need to know about the Veggly app.
By Life Lovers Magazine
Every year, the UK non-profit, Veganuary, launches a super thorough campaign to help everyone that wants to try veganism during January. In the form of a challenge, the plan is to add new habits, learn new recipes and try other things to go fully vegan during the whole month.
Of course, the aim is to get you to keep the habits during the year, but the beauty of this program is that you receive not just tips and recipes, but also periodical educational information. So, even if you only master it during January, you’ll finish the month with an entirely new perspective on the lifestyle and the causes supporting it.
Like that, you’ll get to really learn and understand how much one person going vegan can really do for the planet. All in all, It makes things easier if you are already vegetarian or simply considering trying a vegan way of life.
And because the start of the year is the perfect time to start something new and to plant the seeds to feel motivated and empowered throughout all of 2023, trying this challenge could not have come at a better time. There’s something about a fresh start that gives us that extra bravery to get out of our comfort zones.
Do you know what else makes you feel empowered and takes you out of your comfort zone? Meeting new people. Yes! Opening ourselves to connect with others is definitely a brave and empowering move we should all adopt from time to time, and we know it can seem daunting at times, just like changing our eating habits.
The truth is that jumping into veganism or simply trying Veganuary will be way easier if we do it with a partner. So, we want to tell you there’s an app that unites those two big moves: Veggly.
Like that, this app is a meeting point that will connect you with others in the same boat, making things so much easier, and empowering you to start 2023 already crossing off two big goals off your list: meeting new fascinating people and trying a vegan lifestyle.
Connections to Make Things Easier
We are strong believers in the power of connections and good stories, so, we couldn’t simply let the idea of connecting with others pass by. We know how important it is to connect with people, learn about other’s cultures and share different reasons behind a shared cause. Well, that’s exactly what the app’s founder had in mind when creating this wonderful app.
“Veggly is the dating app for vegans and vegetarians where users can meet like-minded people, knowing the other person already has a minimal set of common core values. The app is meant for finding one's VegLove or some good friends.”, says Alex Felipelli.
Because just like many dating apps nowadays, the connections you can get can end up being way more than a love story – it can also be exactly the love story you’re looking for (wink wink).
You can meet your new best friend or a future business partner among your Veg-matches. There’s literally nothing to lose when we are meeting new and fascinating people, even more, when they’re already like-minded souls.
And its founder firmly believes so. Alex adds that “many users also told us they have met best friends through the app. We believe if you know what kind of people you are looking for, then you should focus your time and energy on being in a place best suited for you instead of going for a generic app”.
And that’s what Veggly is about. It’s about connecting and dating, and a vegan way of life. Bringing them together ensures everyone can have support when trying a month of being vegan or when it’s already a lifestyle, and when they want to meet another fellow human.
But also, yes! Let’s be honest, going on a date when the other person has your same core values and food preferences can take such a load off the pressure of dating –we have to admit, it doesn’t happen to us very often.
If you’re vegetarian, vegan or have any type of food allergy, you probably know very well how uncomfortable it can get when you go on a date and it’s time to choose a venue. Either when you have to pick a place from a more limited selection, have to check the whole menu beforehand, or simply those (many) times when you end up eating the salad because there was nothing else for you at the chosen restaurant.
The truth is that being the “complicated one” can add unnecessary stress when you are meeting someone for the first time. It simply takes time out of the connecting and enjoying part of the date, and nobody wants that.
We All Love a Good ‘ol Love Story
And if you don’t believe us, believe in love. I know! Too corny! But never mind, the truth remains. We all enjoy love and having a great time with that special someone. Luckily for all those romantics, Veggly’s website is on a mission to gather and share the most beautiful veg-love stories they’ve made possible.
Like that, right in their “Our veg match” section, you’ll find plenty of good love stories to get the popcorn out and empower you to go out there and meet new people.
And it hits close to the heart, too. Veggly’s founder knows it pretty well and is super aware of how challenging meeting a fellow vegan romantically can be. That’s why this app was created in 2019, “out of Alex’s own pain in finding a suitable partner, being vegan and single. He had the idea of helping all vegan and vegetarian communities in such an important aspect of life, which is finding love and friends”.
Why do I want to download Veggly?
If you are vegan, or vegetarian or if you plan to become plant-based, Veggly is definitely a terrific place for meeting people. “We have countless stories of couples who have met through the app and described to us their immediate connection on the first date. You can check some of those in our blog”, Alex explains.
