Urgency

Am I the only one that from time to time is overwhelmed with a sense of urgency? I feel that I am getting left out, left behind or becoming complacent. I feel the need to rush into things. To put myself out there more, to do more, to be more, to think more.

I see other bloggers and nutritionists with newsletters, products, ebooks, hardcover books, promotional deals and all other exciting and wonderful things going on. My heart races, I get a hit of adrenalin and I feel that I should have a newsletter, I should write a book, I should be more ‘professional’.

Stepping it up

Oh hello there. You’ve found some very old content. Please read the disclaimer on this page before thinking I’m still a total sheep who has been sucked into a bone-broth worshipping fad diet. Been there, learned from that and am now a much less rigid human.

I know in my last post I said that my next post would be ‘a day on my plate’ post to show my more varied, non-soup GAPS meals, however there’s been a slight change of plans.

Kirsty from Kultured Wellness thinks she might have an answer to my last few niggling health concerns.

When you want to make things right

Have you ever made a mistake and immediately launched yourself straight into a place of regret, shame and embarrassment?

Yeah? Well that makes two of us!

You’d think after having 19 and a bit years on this planet, I’d have accepted that to learn, I have to make mistakes. But no. For some strange, illogical and irrational reason, the mistakes I make almost always follow with guilt and that ‘I should’ve known better’ attitude.

The real cost of make-up

Natural selfies are the best kind of selfies

You may be expecting that today’s post is where I’ll be getting up on my little soap box and banging on about animal cruelty and make-up testing or perhaps about the many chemicals that we voluntarily lather upon our bodies, especially our faces, each day. However, whilst these are very relevant factors, today I’m discussing the cost of make-up from another angle. YOU and your self esteem.

Let’s Support Pete

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’.
