One of those days..Day 30

So I had one of those days.. woke up.. was sick.. banging head..had to go back to bed. I got myself so worked up last night, stress got the better of me.

Keeping negative aspects-- whether that be people, objects or environments minimal and positive, light giving elements of my life to a maximum need to become a priority!

Once again;This is a STRESS free zone, only attracting love, beauty and vitality. Nothing but Vibrancy!!

Got up in the afternoon, went to get some fruit and bits and rested some more, I wasn't going to resort to painkillers, the pain in my eyes has eased some now. So thankful for that. I stumbled my way to the organic man.. the snow was melting away but it was soo cold my hands were numb time I got there, only 0.5 mile down the road!

Picked up some : Plums, pears, Norfolk Purple sprouting broccoli, Flat lettuce(local again!!), Strawberry punnet(£1!),sweet little tomato, gorgeous lemons-- look at that vibrant colour! Ah man my organic man is so sweet, he said the lettuce was a bit small so I could take it for 50p! What a sweetie!

Gorgeous.. will make something a bit later some juice. Haven't had anything today yet. Just water. Think whatever I am feeling right now is emotional detox.. manifesting itself as physical symptoms. I feel much better now mentally and the headache has passed.

Feeling in a quiet reflective mood today. Trying to relax and get myself ready for tomorrow.

Anyways that's all for now.

Going to spend some time reading and taking a long bath tonight.

Tomorrow is a new day, I am going to fill it with everything that makes me happy!

Light and Love

Bank holiday.. Bliss.. Day 29..Long long post

Today is for thinking, bliss, relaxation and quiet tidying/organising

I have been sorting my wardrobe and giving items to friends. Been getting my teeth into Detox your World..for the second time..it suggested wardrobe detox..so I am working on that.

Completely forgot.. got a lovely bamboo top, my first! For £5 in the sales, a lot of shops here now have bamboo lines and ECO lines, this one was from New Look, they also have organic cotton t-shirts. Its featured in the pictures..lovely and super soft! ECO Fashion!

Spending some time working on business stuff, organising the house and paperwork.This is relaxing-- this is a STRESS free zone.

I spent last night watching Shazzie's videos on youtube, I feel totally energised after listening to her words, just letting it wash over me-- INVEST in your health. Its as simple as that, rather than going to the cinema or.. spending out on a hair dye, or another pair of jeans... invest that into YOU. Superfoods, Super High vibrations, BECOME that Superbeing!!

I have been adding some supplements/superfoods to my feast :

Goji powder --- tasted fine.. pretty neutral tasting especially with berry juice! Nutritional value is the reason I am taking it! Shazzie recommends it for eye health-- Bring on that eye healing!**Ground it myself, got big jar for £1.50 in the sale, as they had put the labels on upside down and couldn't sell them! ha!

Acai powder--Makes me feel incredible, supercharged-- in a non cacao type of way, just high energy. I know some people question if its really raw or not. But after trying, it feels good and not like its lowering my energy in anyway.

Aloe vera --woohoo very soothing..all good!

I am playing around with superfoods/supplements and combinations, to amp up my juice feasting experience but also to get ideas for refining my diet post-feast. This seems to be a good environment to try things, stable-- should be easy to see what differences the superfoods are making.

Have ordered some goodies from Kate Wood's site...but..I shall post about those when they arrive!! I am verrrry EXCITED!

Was pretty funny telling my parents I am now taking the Aloe.. I had an awful time with juvenile arthritis, they wanted me to get the Aloe down me in the hopes it may improve my condition..needless to say..as a 9 year old no way was I drinking that Aloe juice..Now I am like "Gimme that aloe!!"

Oils I don't feel are useful RIGHT NOW, so I have cut those now, they don't do anything for me. I don't normally eat them so maybe this is why I am now drawn to them during this feasting period. The coconut oil just made me hungry, which I never was before-- so cut it for the time being, I may well go and change my mind 10 days down the line!

Juice for Day 29

1.5 litre Water
1 Ayurveda detox tea
700ml Berry juice--- combination, blended and strained
Green powders
Aloe Vera juice
1 spoon cacao into water before workout (speedy, good workout, no come down)

For dinner
Planning to have pineapple juice, already cut it all up. Just got to put it through the juicer! add supplements and drink

Aloe and green powders or spirulina tonight.

So I wanted to talk more about VISUALISATIONS today

Is something Dave and Katrina talked about a lot, but also my sister has been using them and indeed MANIFESTED the blessings 3 months down the line. So here they are, no point keeping them inside, visualise, speak it out, live it, breathe it, manifest it.

Here are the things I am visualising for manifestation the next 6 months

Visualising these things for manifestation in MY LIFE

** A long break in NYC
** A Vita-mix
** Financial abundance and freedom
** 100% healed eyes
** A vibrant, successful RAW Business -- materialising!

Putting them out there in the universe

Super long post so that's all for now folks!

Freegan....thoughts...

Freegans are people who employ alternative strategies for living based on limited participation in the conventional economy and minimal consumption of resources. Freegans embrace community, generosity, social concern, freedom, cooperation, and sharing in opposition to a society based on materialism, moral apathy, competition, conformity, and greed.

Okay so I have been thinking about this a lot, I couldn't sleep, was up until 2am. Thinking how how how can I get myself out of my current environment and able to travel, invest in some training and kit up a proper chefs kitchen.

I figured I could save a lot of money by cutting food and travel costs to a minimal. Then this got me thinking about cutting them to ZERO

Recently there was a show aired here Wife Swap showing a freegan family vs a Wealthy family in suburban UK. The latter lot made a real fuss about this food, throwing up in sinks and having tantrums about eating BOXED in date crackers/breads....or indeed just finishing their left overs!

It certainly was food for thought, coming out of these bins was fruit, vegetables, milk, bread, tonnes of packaged food and fruits on their "use by" dates. But all good, everything looked good and viable-- not at all in the state where it should be chucked in a dumpster, usually things I buy at this point are still in my fruit bowl waiting for me to consider them "ripe" enough to eat/juice!

This also got me thinking about volunteering time for food-- an option for sure. Working some time for the organic market or farmers in return for some fruits.

Also speaking with produce managers, taking "over-ripe" ie perfectly ripe things off their hands.

Wild foraging/growing your own
Other options, get foraging or indeed using someones garden or a plot to grow your own cheaply!

Foods to forage during March

Cleavers
Garlic Mustard
Wild Sorrel
Hawthorn Leaves

Wild greens, superb!

So it doesn't have to be full on dumpster diving!..It can be other trades/ways to source cheaper or indeed free foods.

Food for thought.......

Snowy day..sunny juice

So I have spent most of today wrapped up inside, it is sooo cold, and I have no tolerance to the cold right now!! I am always freezing

Today I have had :

2 Fruit infusions

1 Organic chai blend

1 litre water

1 juice-- pineapple, orange -- threw in some goji powder for a kick

Haven't done much to require calories today so not too concerned, I will have more tomorrow as I will go running and train a bit in the afternoon, since its bank holiday Monday! yipee No work!

My head feels fuzzy today, so I have been resting and taking it easy!!

Emotionally I feel pretty good, determined and upbeat--- there is 101 plans, thoughts, ideas whizzing around in my head right now. It is pretty full on!!

Just enjoying the pineapple juice right now..mmmm its so good! Glad I have a plenty of them..om om!

Its lovely to have some time without work..aah bliss!

Forget White Christmas..its a White Easter Sunday!

Here we are in the UK, lovely powdery snow storm on Easter Sunday!! hehe had to take pictures..oh..and look whats lurking in my kitchen....

Enjoy..I am off to play in the snow!

Easter Love..and Snow storms!

Totally feeling the Easter love and good vibes at the moment, its total bliss

Everyone is happy, chilled and relaxed

We had snow here today! lets hope its not as bad as last time..its been so pretty all day! We didn't too much mind sitting in the car in the snow storm-- rang several mates down south to say "Its SNOWWWWING"..yes..simple pleasures!! Not often you see snow at Easter!!

Have had my sister up which has been a pleasure, relaxed and chilled-- she has blessed me with fruits in abundance!! amongst lots of other little gifts, very sweet... what does a raw-bie want for Easter... err new blender..and fruit in ABUNDANCE! That's exactly what I got!

Everytime I go in the kitchen I start grinning or laughing!! There is SO MUCH fruit!-- I got a new crate/tub type thing for my extra fruit..11litre container..should do it for a while!!

I am looking forward to playing with all my new grown up rawbie toys!!

Having my sister up has got me thinking about visualisations


Visualising what YOU want, and MATERIALISING it, manifesting it in YOUR life.

So.. That is exactly what I am going to do!!

Think that will be a separate post!! but, yeah definitely food for thought.

I seem to be mentally/emotionally so much more in tune whilst fasting!!

We hit up the local Juice bar.. SLURP!! big.. recommendations for Norwich locals, its amazing!! .. Got a lovely orange,pineapple,lemon juice with a scoop of acai.. it was a lovely Easter treat to my body!! They also happily will refill my flasks etc if I want to have a treat or use them for work-- the guy said to bring a bucket lol So excellent that you can go and have a little treat whilst fasting!!

Anyways that is all for now, I am off to relax!

Easter.. long weekend bliss

I cannot put into words how pleased I am to have 4 days work free!! yipee!

I will update my blog anyways, and try to get some nice pics over the weekend, may even ask my sister to "model" some juice for me..ha!

Going to use this time to relax, I have done all my spring cleaning, so it really is just about resting, relaxing and spending some time with family and friends.

The kitchen is full stocked up, although I have an insane pineapple craving, so I may have to go out and get a tonne of those! Well at least a pallet!

I have been thinking recently about storage for the kitchen, I already have 3 huge fruit bowls and those aren't enough, plus two fridges full of greens/carrots/water

so perhaps I am thinking clear crates for counter top, stackable-- can keep carrots,pineapples, a HUGE quantity of lemons,limes and oranges.

Seems a good idea, will report back with pics if/when I get these, hopefully in the morning

So here is my bank holiday weekend fruity looty! :

2 Mango
2 Melons
10 Lemons/limes
5kg Carrots
3 Celery
A few bags of greens
20 plus Apples
8 litres water
2kg sweet potato
Strawberries
Raspberries
Blueberries
1 large container sliced pineapple

Lots and lots, looking forward to some berry juice a bit later...yum!

Happy Easter, get juicy!
