The stuff trap

We work so hard to get the home we want. Our first home, then the next one with the extra bedroom and the baby. Then, a bit more garden and a nicer neighbourhood. We stretch ourselves on the mortgage and go bigger, better, a spare room, renovate, decorate, debate style and colours, textures and space. […]
Easy, delicious, vegan recipes that are a dream to make and eat.

To thrive on a plant based diet, eat well and feel satisfied, especially if we have busy lives, we need to be able to make delicious, vegan meals quickly and easily and that means having ingredients and recipes at the ready. Today I made fast and easy vegetable fritters with a herby sauce. This recipe […]
Doing or going to do – that is the question.
Lets have a word about procrastination, avoidance, distancing. A client came to me about ‘all the things he has to do, and that he was not succeeding or getting anywhere’. He felt between a rock and a hard place, nothing was working. We spent a lot of time talking and have spoken many times before […]
Getting juicy!
Day three of a juice cleanse and I feel oddly fine. No detox symptoms to date other than tiredness and a bit of a light head late on day 1 and part of day 2 – I am not remotely convinced it is because I am so pure and clean. No complaints from me though. […]
I am so excited!
I’m just going to blurt it out. You are in for a treat and so are our friends and visitors and clients because… drum roll… I am enrolled on a course! It is going to be busy because actually I am enrolled on two! As anyone who knows me could have told you actually, why […]
Packed lunch for Aimee!
My lovely daughter asked for some tips for easy, tasty, fast and cheap packed lunches. Tired of the, and by the, sandwiches, wraps, even more supposedly healthy options available within easy reach of where she works in Paris she needed to get back on top of this. Everyone needs to enjoy a meal and function […]
A bit of what you fancy actually does you good!
And we all know that is true don’t we? So, we are doing our ‘especially lean and clean’ week and it is going, as MM would say, very well indeed. We are juicing first thing. Well, after our lemon water. Green smoothies around lunch time followed by more juice (one I made earlier with the […]
Flip it!
Its extra clean ‘n’ lean time again (why don’t we just keep it up continuously?!). Anyway, I’m not beating myself up about that I am embracing what IS. My first thought, as usual, “oh, I’m so excited!” closely followed by “Oh, I’m so deprived….”. Especially when in the book I am reading they are sitting […]
OUCH!
Next time you wash and condition your hair in the bath, especially using deep conditioner, remember the bath gets slippery! How many times have I thought that? Quite a few. This time I didn’t. Ouch. Bruised ribs, bruised boob. That’s all. Words of wisdom and experience. Be safe, be happy, don’t worry, sing, dance, don’t […]
More than a twist in your anxiety.
Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!! There it’s out. That is how I feel right now. Frustrated, angry, guilty, shouty, sad, tired, tired, tired and too mad to even sleep a moment. When that anxiety raises its very ugly head the day hits a fast downward spiral. Its clear in a look, a posture, a smell, a tone that oh […]
