My Raw Life

This is my green smoothie! I am loving my raw lifestyle!

You guys already know that I am going 75 percent raw vegan, to kickstart the new  me I am going 30 days cold turkey. Yes, raw for 30 days! I am loving it!!! Seriously it is the best thing I have ever done! I did actually go raw last year and I hated it so much. I was miserable and one of the reasons I found it so hard was I had no idea what I was doing. I was confused, I was so confused about what I needed to do that I ended up making things too complicated for myself.

Now, I have two staple foods that work around, they are the humble old courgette or zucchini as the Americans call it. The other is the banana, I work around these ingredients. So I make courgette pasta, rice and other dishes, I know you are probably thinking, how the hell do you make pasta from a zucchini? Well trust me it is delicious, I love it! If you are interested in vegan recipes, you can head on over to my Vegan Fresh YouTube channel.

Amazing Raw Food



I am totally and utterly in Love with the raw food lifestyle. I did it before and hated it! As you guys should know by now, I am a vegan. However, I found it really hard to go raw the last time around. This time I am finding it so easy. I have made some really yummy meals, and I feel great. Usually at around 5pm I feel tired and need, or want a nap. Today I have not felt any tiredness at all! I am up 2 am blogging and writing articles for clients. I am actually having the time of my life with this new lifestyle.

Vlogging!

Green Tea, Snacks and Blogging

Today my day consists of green tea, snacks and blogging!

I just love spending Sunday afternoons and nights, blogging and sipping on hot green tea. Although, I am not a full time blogger, I do have a business to run. This is the perfect Sunday for me, especially with these cold, winter months. 

Life Gets Hard But....No Image Needed

When life gets hard you just have to keep pushing forward. It can be so difficult to do this but choice do you really have? Would you rather sink into a deep dark depression or keep on moving forward fab as ever? Well, I know what I would rather do, hold my head up and keep on moving forward. Recently I have had some really hard trials to deal with. However, I am still standing, I am still moving forward and still praying that life will keep on getting better. Nothing good in life ever comes easy, and I have learned that the hard way. 

Right now things have settled for me but I have had a really crazy few months, leading up to the end of the year. Now we are in 2013, and I am ready to face this year with much gusto. I have so many plans for the up and coming year, and I really don't want to finish 2013 wondering where the hell it went. I have too much to prove. When I say prove, I mean too much to prove to myself. I have learned that you really can't please everyone on this planet. Sometimes you just have to please yourself, believe in yourself and keep fighting for what you believe in. I believe that nothing in life is impossible, I believe that if you want something bad enough, you will fight tooth and nail for it. 

Anyway, enough rambling, I have some serious writing to do. Today I plan on eating, cooking and writing. So much writing to do, so much blogging to do, and so much vlogging to do. This year, I am going to try and blog as much as possible. Last year I didn't blog as much as I really wanted because I was actually trying to figure out exactly what I wanted to put up on  my personal blog. First I just set up as a dumping ground for random thoughts. Then I thought I would focus more on natural skincare, now I am going back to my original plan of random every day thoughts, ideas and plans. I really don't want to get too serious about this blog, it is like my daily diary, only the whole world can see it.

I am totally obsessed with DIY skincare, it not only saves you money but it is also fun to do! I been experimenting with all kinds of potions this weekend. Last night I made a carob body and face scrub, which also doubles up as a lip scrub which is great!!!! I just love it!! It tastes good too, so you don't have to worry if it gets in your mouth!! Lovely!!! I just posted up a YouTube video about it so you can check that out below. Here is the recipe for it! Oh and try it out and let me know how it went for you.
