Howdy friend. You’ve stumbled across an old article. I believe in real food and support anyone – celebrity or otherwise – in their advocacy of nutritional medicine. This doesn’t mean that I support all of the views they express on their own platforms.
My friend Kim recently brought up something that I’ve been thinking about for a while now. Chef Pete Evans is under constant scrutiny from the media. Labelled as ‘arrogant’, ‘extreme’, ‘un-educated’ and some go as far as to say, ‘dangerous’.
This week I’d like to share the insights of blogger Kimi Hill, author of www.sunandmoon.me. I don’t know Kimi personally, but she approached me after hearing my interview on Up for a Chat and asked me to do an interview for her website.
I decided to return the interview favour and here we are. Kimi is a driven young lady with a beautifully sensitive and creative streak.
Meet Kimi …
Does it bother anyone else out there that health, wellness, well-being, nutrition, mindfulness, Paleo, vegan, GAPS, gluten-free, sugar-free, (and all the other common buzz words etc.) have become a trend? Or is it just me?
Don’t get me wrong. The real food movement is exciting! People getting excited about fruits and veggies is encouraging! The public is starting to explore and ask questions. I am thrilled about this! In fact, health being ‘trendy’ has many, many advantages.
I was recently asked this question by someone I really admire. She asked me what made the difference between the way I approach life and the way a lot of other people my age approach it. She wasn’t asking in a way that put me on a pedestal (thank goodness because that would be mis-leading … I really am just the ‘girl next door’), but rather curious about why I am pro-active when it comes to my health and education. How do I know what I know at my age? Why am I empowered rather than playing the victim? Why do I question things? How is it that I am so content in being different when most teenagers just want to ‘fit in’?
It warmed my heart when a reader commented on Facebook that her “miss 10” enjoyed my interview with my friend Jo on ‘A Quirky Journey’. It was also very exciting when another reader mentioned that she can’t wait to make my pumpkin pancakes and GAPS muffins for her little ones. This is why I started blogging in the first place.
Why are we terrible at taking compliments? Quick to dismiss the good we do? Feel like we can’t show pride? Downplay praise? And why, dear ones, do we think we need to be modest, humble and quiet achievers, all in the name of not being ‘up ourselves’?

This week I introduce you to my mate Leah; wife, mother and blogger at Life’s Pantry. Leah sees food as medicine and loves nothing more than getting creative in the kitchen to sustain her three energetic and little ladies.
Allow me to introduce you to this grounded Mamma Bear.
I’d like to introduce you to Twenty8. Google them. A business that is influencing the world, one aroma at a time.
Below are the 28 reasons that I fall more in love with these incredible products (and the team behind them) each and everyday.
It’s been way too long since we last caught up. I’ve just finished my first ever round of uni exams and have been spending every moment (apart from when I’m cooking, sleeping, running and working) studying because that’s what you have to do when you’ve got this much knowledge to consolidate (I’m stretching my arms out far and wide when I say ‘this much’) in this (I am now hovering my pointing finger a millimeter above my thumb) amount of time.
