Nurture with nature
There is a so much going on at the moment in the world, in the house, in my head. I have spent a week working out heating wattages, where pipes can go on repointed walls, how things will work in the kitchen to leave space for a sofa in front of the fire. How to […]
Dressing up, a little bit naughty and very nice
Christmas can be a stodgy affair…but it doesn’t have to be! Its like wearing that very expensive little something with bargain basement everything else and the whole ensemble looking super chic – if you aren’t careful it can go the other way; it is a question of thinking, balance and taste. (Obviously I am not […]
Dressing up and dressing down
It has been a bit mad here the last couple of weeks. I have started my French business, Desri’s Kitchen and been number crunching and trying to make that work on paper (in the French system – that is hard!). I am adding in teaching raw cuisine as well as healthy ways to tweak […]
Smash a mash.
Hello, hello! How are you feeling? Have you followed anything here, changed anything? Simply put, nothing will change unless you change something. I know I am repeating myself but please don’t hold back until ‘all the bad stuff has been used up’, ‘after the holiday’, ‘after Christmas’ and all the other delaying tactics our heads […]
Tweak… and twerking would help too!
Reminder Doing this is your choice. Everything is your choice. Everything you eat, drink, think and do will effect how you feel mentally and physically.

I have been scared of heights for ever; I couldn’t go up the ladder to the first floor of the ‘little house’, the old tumble down house we are now renovating […]
Quick, tasty and bursting with energy.
Here are a couple of recipes for you. Easy to make. Quick. Very good and won’t give you that saggy feeling after eating it AND you will feel as though you have eaten! I didn’t actually weigh or measure anything, just threw it all in. You can do the same or follow my measuements. When […]
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 […]
What is that?
“It’s a Papaya”. “What do you do with it?”. Where shall I begin?! Here’s a few things you can do with papaya: 1 Cut it in half and remove the seeds. These are very good for killing certain parasites in the gut, I know but you probably have a few…at least…. If you are making […]
Motivation and wafting away grey mood clouds.
I just thought I would repost this after having a really low energy feeling yesterday afternoon. I was kind of sinking into it (it can be so easy just to go with it, let it take your hand and follow it … down…) and forced myself to get on my mini trampoline and do some […]
