Facing My Fears, Exciting News and Time in Nature

-
So this week was a big week for me. First of all on Wednesday I launched my website Holistic Lifestyle Sanctuary. Although i've been working towards this moment for years, I was still so nervous when it actually came to publishing the website and officially launching my business. I must admit though, once it was done I was very relieved and felt quite proud of myself that i'd actually done it. 

 So now i'm entering the world of being an entrepreneur. I have so much to learn and lots of ideas and plans, but I know my business can grow and evolve with me. I watched a few videos by Marie Forleo, and one of the things she said that really resonated with me was the term "multi-passionate entrepreneur". I think that's definitely me! Lots of passions and interests, I just need to figure out how to put them all together to create a successful business. 

 Then the day after I received the amazing news that I have passed my Juice Therapy course and i'm now a fully qualified Natural Juice Therapist. After such an amazing time at the academy in 2012 and so much hard work since, i'm so excited to have passed. So i'll be able to offer Juice Therapy Consultations very soon!

To celebrate, here's the recipe for the berry and raw chocolate smoothie I made yesterday.


1 Cup of Almond Milk (sweetened with raw honey and lucuma)
1 heaped tsp of Raw Chocolate Powder
1 tsp of Maca
Large handful of berries

You can add more honey/agave/dates if you like it sweeter. 
Blend it up and drink!

I also had an article on crystal healing published in Soulwoman Magazine this week. It's such a beautiful magazine, written by some very inspiring women and i'm so happy to have the opportunity to write some articles for them. I'm now working on my next article on natural skincare.

So after a very busy week, we went out for a lovely meal last night and today we took a trip to our local nature reserve. It felt lovely being out in nature, laughing and enjoying ourselves. We saw some gorgeous birds, one of the robins even had some of Luke's chicken pie! It definitely preferred it to bird seed.









So after a lovely, but tiring week, i'm going to have a nice rest this evening with a juice and a good book, ready for another busy week ahead!

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...
