A Relaxing Time

Welcome!


Ahh my break away at Easter was pure magic..

The calling of the fresh country air & beaches gave me the much needed rest & relaxation I so desperately needed.

It was a weekend of unexpected total pampering & indulgence...

I have come back feeling & looking like a new woman. Yes really.

My neice decided I needed an 'extreme makeover'.. mm now that sounds a bit worrying doesn't it?

Fortunately in her definition I didn't require plastic surgery! Well not that she told me anyway!

All that was really required apparently was a new hair cut, colour & facials.. phew...

My nephew gave me the haircut with Mum's blunt kitchen scissors.. so yes I have a very stylish new blunt cut look.. they have done a great job too!

Enjoying some time at the beach with that delicious ocean air & sea spray smothering you really does wonders for your soul. Oh & yes I certainly did get my belly laugh that I knew I somehow would have! Oh dear & I'm sorry I don't think it will be appropriate to tell the story here as a certain family member didn't think the incident very funny at all.. but my goodness Mum & I did. Oh & no, no-one got hurt!


This week it is going to be time for me to get stuck into writing my next book. It is going to be absolutely beautiful as I certainly have an incredible team working with me on my projects now. What I can say is, it is going to be a recipe book with recipes of Salads. They can be used as Raw Food Salads & or Salads that you can blanch the vegetable if you are new to raw food.
More on this later...


Because I have been working so hard & sitting so much writing, I have unfortunately gained an undesireable 5kg... yep OUCH! within the last 6 months. So yes I am fessing up to this mere inconvenient scenario & am ready to shed this now.

In all fairness I was finding it difficult to juggle absolutely everything. So I could stay totally focussed on The Wholesome Food Coach, I had to let something fall by the way side temporarily which became my cardio & exercise routine. Don't get me wrong I have been exercising but obviously not doing the right sort or enough. So looking very carefully at my diet I have admitted to myself that I can tweak one or two things there. I am one of those unfortuntate people who when they smell fattening food I somehow gain a kg or 2 in weight without even eating it! grrr...

I shall add a brief weekly update & share with you how I am going. I will also be sharing some recipes I create over the next 5 weeks with you so I hope this can help you or a loved one as well.


I hope you have a wonderful week this week.


With love, warmth and radiance
