Enjoying Nature, Creative Space and Holistic Juicing

-
This week i've been enjoying spending lots of time in nature, meditating, walking, journaling and thinking.  The trees are looking beautiful now, many brightly coloured with blossom and i've loved standing outside with my camera, taking photos.





I've also been busy creating this week.  Lots of art journaling, soul art and vision board making.  In fact I think I have a slight obsession with cutting up magazines.  It's extremely healing and calming, looking for inspiring words and pictures and putting them all together to make something beautiful which really inspires you.


Last Thursday I took part in Soul Art Day with Laura Hollick.  She uses a process called bodymapping where you draw around a part of your body and then make it into something creative using paints collage etc.  Last year I painted, this year I used mainly collage. The theme for me seemed to centre around my dream of traveling to India to do my yoga teacher training. I like to dream big! 


On Saturday I held my first Holistic Juicing Retreat at my house for two friends.  I was an amazing experience and really good practice for me as I set up my business. 



The day included juicing workshops, guided meditation, goal setting, vision board making, a reiki and crystal healing session each, oracle card reading, life coaching session, holistic mini facial and some raw chocolate brownies.



I also have my new massage table so everything is coming together nicely for my business and i'm feeling very excited.  An eventful and amazing week.

Beauty In The Lakes & Eating Raw In London

It's been a while since I posted an update as life has been so busy with lots of exciting things happening. At the end of September we spent 3 days in the Lake District for our friends wedding. It was a beautiful place and we had a really lovely time.  We stayed in a gorgeous little house which was part of a B&B in a little village near Ullswater.  On the first morning, the boys went outside to explore and found a deer in the field next to us. They spent ages watching it, whilst Luke also made friends with the B&B owners cat. Dylan managed to get a few photos which look amazing. He was so happy. The wedding was beautiful and the boys looked very handsome. We had a lovely time, ate lovely food, took a book ride around the Ullswater and met some lovely people. The evening ended with a lot of dancing which Luke particularly enjoyed. And of course, as I was surrounded by beautiful flowers, trees and lakes, I had to sneak ...

My Photography Project

I've had a week off work this week and time for a much needed rest. There's been so many amazing things happening this year and i'm feeling so grateful for everything. The only down side to this is that I don't always get the chance to follow my creative passions as much as i'd like. So this week has given me the chance to reconnect with my love of photography and i've decided it's time for a new creative project.  So many things have inspired me to do this. I've been reading some of my favourite photography books and a few days ago I watched one of my favourite films Yes Man. In this film Zooey Deschanels character goes out for a run at 6am every morning with a group of people and her camera, taking photos and getting exercise. I love this idea and i'm planning to create my own version of this. I want to spend more time outdoors with my camera. I have some good opportunities to take some lovely photos over the next few weeks with trip...

Creating My Raw Food Kitchen

Yesterday, I received a parcel with my new dehydrator and spiralizer, as well as soon other raw kitchen supplies. I've been wanting a dehydrator for well over a year, and finally decided that now is the right time.  I was very excited to say the least.  I went for a Stockli, which i've heard is really good, so i'm looking forwards to lots of creative time in the kitchen over the next few weeks. Today, Luke and I tried out the spiralizer, which was a bit more complicated than we expected, but we did get the hang of it eventually.  We made carrot and courgette spaghetti, and had that with salad, apple, cashew nuts and olives.  Tomorrow i'm hoping to make some raw crackers or kale chips  I'm looking forwards to experimenting and coming up with some new recipes. I've also been enjoying lots of juices, and this one was delicious - Orange, Carrot and Ginger. It's lovely first thing on a morning as it helps you to feel really ene...
