Posted on June 28, 2016 Leave a Comment
I’m recently back from a vacation in the U.S. (a week in Vegas followed by a road trip through Death Valley and Yosemite to Monterey, Big Sur, Santa Barbara and LA and finally back to Vegas).

Can a Spring Clean Lead to Greater Happiness?
Posted on April 15, 2016 Leave a Comment
Thankfully spring has sprung and we’re starting to see the end of winter. I often feel like I’m coming out of hibernation at this time of year and am ready to start afresh. I itch to spring clean my home, open doors and windows to let fresh air in and the stagnant energy out, plant […]

1 Health is a journey not a destination While some people go into remission for years and say ‘I’m cured’, I personally don’t think you can ever say you are ‘cured’ of a chronic condition. I like to see health as more of a continuous journey than a particular destination (i.e. cured). When reaching a […]

I’d say most people’s resolutions after Christmas involved getting ‘healthy’ in some shape or form. It’s something I’ve been thinking a lot about recently. With a number of high profile and wealthy celebrities passing away this month from cancer like David Bowie and Alan Rickman, it’s evident that when it boils down to it, true […]
The Non-Deprivation Way to Detox (you can eat food!)
Posted on January 11, 2016 Leave a Comment
I’d hazard a guess and say that this is the most popular time of year for juice cleanses and detox programmes. After weeks of over-indulgence in rich and sugar-laden foods and drinks over the Christmas season, people are gung-ho about ‘cleaning up their act’, getting ‘back on the band wagon’ and repenting for their sins.

It’s quite ironic that the holidays are probably the time of year that you most want to feel and look your best but they can end up being a minefield of health woes due to stress, overwhelm, overindulgence, party hangovers and colds and flus. It’s almost an unspoken rule that come December you have to […]

It’s the most wonderful time of the year!! I love Christmas – spending quality time with family and friends, buying and giving gifts, eating, drinking…and being merry! But the holiday season can be tough to navigate when you have food intolerances or dietary requirements like myself. There tends to be more temptation around food and […]

HEALTHY GIFT IDEAS (1) One of my ‘best buys’ ever has to be my Vitamix. Whether it’s whizzing up green smoothies, acai smoothie bowls, soups, dairy free ice-cream (made with frozen bananas) or coconut (or nut) butter it’s really just the tip of the iceberg as to what this machine can do.

Whether you are trying to stay away from processed food, trying to lose weight or like me, are on a specific diet for a condition (I’m currently on a mash-up of AIP, SCD and Low Fodmap for Crohn’s) sometimes making the not-so-convenient choice can be difficult.

Tomorrow, Friday 13th November (unlucky for some!) is World Kindness Day! How cool is that? Really every day should be world kindness day but I don’t think people give it much thought so it’s really good that there’s a day to highlight the benefits of kindness and to remind people why we should all be […]
