Self-love, self-care, self-respect

Somewhere along the line it became seen as;

  • ‘arrogant’ to love-oneself
  • ‘selfish’ to indulge in self-care rituals
  • ‘optional’ to have self-respect.

Confession: I love myself. Not like Gaston in Beauty and the Beast – just so we’re clear. I don’t sing songs about my chest hair. Probably because I don’t have chest hair. Thank fuck. It would be mighty strange if I did.

What’s so Taboo About Poo?

Today we ponder the question “what actually is all this taboo nonsense about poo”? I mean, lets just be honest, we all do them – and if we don’t there is a serious problem that needs RECTIFYING. Why is there such a universal association of absolute revolt surrounding the humble turd?

Formula for thought

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.

Food for thought? Nope, today it’s formula.

I have a soft spot for Pete Evans, despite the fact that he hates on the grain family which includes my close mates Rice, Oats and Buckwheat.

The media, however, love to hate him and I can see why.

The man is outspoken about topics for which he is deemed ‘unqualified’. It is irritating when people flaunt their opinion in a way that comes across as gospel truth. That said, I emphasise with Pete.

He’s in the ‘preachy epiphany phase’ of his life and being a celebrity, is in the public eye whilst doing so.

GAPS stage 3

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.

The Stage I’ve been waiting for. This is the story of a girl reunited with her beloved avocado.

Stage 3 is where life gets a whole lot easier. One word; avocado.

  • It adds something raw back into the mix
  • It can accompany meat
  • It can accompany roasted pumpkin
  • It can be eaten with sauerkraut – also allowed on stage 3. Before this you are only allowed the juice (remind me again why I’m doing this?)
  • It can be eaten by itself, with nothing else added (yes, really)
  • You can mix the humble avo with ground cinnamon & make pudding!

Spectacular Soul Saturday: Amber Magna

This week’s Spectacular guest is my mate Amber.

I am always blown away by her down to earth approach to health. At 23, Amber is already moving towards her goal of inspiring the population to give a damn. She has 2 years of Naturopathy under her belt, written an online program called ‘Simply Eat’ and just recently graduated from Kim Morrison’s  HLE programme. On top of these merits, she is one of the kindest, and most generous humans I know!

Meet Amber …

Spectacular Soul Saturday: Donna Heathcote

You see that gorgeous creature front right, bobbing down beside me? That’s today’s guest Donna Heathcote. Donna and I met last November at a retreat called Awaken the Change Within. We instantly developed girl-crushes due to our shared interest in gut health, mindset and puppies. I call her my ‘other mother’ and she calls me daughter (peas in pods!).

Meet Donna …

I’m doing the GAPS diet

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.

Dear ones, we meet again!

The sun is up, the breeze is mild and I am inhaling the luscious scents wafting from the bone broth keeping warm in my slow cooker. I get the feeling it’s going to be a beautiful day.

Before I get too Pollyanna on Prozac, I’m going to get straight to the point. I’m embarking on the GAPS (Gut and Psychology Syndrome) Diet; a gut sealing and healing diet, formulated by Dr Natasha Campbell McBride.

Fucking Stop It!!! It’s Jessie from ‘Get A Fresh Start’, best known for her work on the recent ‘Flick the Tick’ campaign where she took on the Heart Foundation and their revoltingly misleading tick program.

Meet foul-mouthed (preach those f-bombs oh candid one) yet sweet-hearted Jessie …

We deserve magic!

Does anyone ever get that ‘too good to be true’ feeling? You know, that sensation where everything feels utterly dreamy. You only see happy outcomes ahead, that is, until you begin to question and second guess.

  • ‘Why is everything working out for me?’
  • ‘I haven’t worked hard enough to deserve this!’
  • ‘Life just doesn’t get this good … does it?’

I’ve definitely had these whispers before. In fact, the better my life gets, the more I seem tempted to question why.

Until now that it!
