All the excuses you need to drink coffee

from 21st November 2014 by .

  Much like bread, coffee is so often subjected to nutritional criticism. Sipping from their mugs of hot water and lemon, the purists will scorn the coffee drinkers and their dirty caffeine habit. But what if coffee was good for you? Well, it is.

The Q&A Meme

from 19th November 2014 by .

As one of life’s over sharers it’s always really fun to take part in a meme – especially when Sally tags you in it. If you don’t know Sally or read her blog just click that link and appreciate her ridiculously awesome kid in a rather epic jumper. It’ll start your day off just right. […]

The Food Haven vegan pop up – review

from 11th November 2014 by .

Monday will never be the new Friday, will it? But I can definitely confirm it’s worth sacrificing your sofa at the end of the first day of the working week to head to The Food Haven. The Food Haven is the vegan pop up from Romy of Real Frank Food. The event I attended was held […]

Nourishing the next generation

from 21st October 2014 by .

I ate everything as a child. But that was more of a curse than a blessing. I’ll never know where the insatiable appetite came from. I was greedy.

from 12th October 2014 by .

On our bathroom window ledge resides my favourite of all those positive affirmations that do the rounds on the Interwebs: “If you love the life you live, you will live a life of love.” It would probably look nicer in the living room but, what’s the first thing you do of a morning? Hop out of […]

I was very fortunate to recently attend the Lucknam Park Cookery School’s Mindful Cookery day.   It was a beautiful exploration of how cooking and mindfulness so wonderfully combine. The day began with introductions to our hosts and tutors: head chef Hrishikesh (Kesh) Desai and founder of Soul Nutrition Katie Sheen. Before we even took […]

Walking back to happiness with Soul

from 15th September 2014 by .

  I love a good walk. We’re blessed with some incredible scenery in South Wales. Take a right out of our house and you’re in the direction of the coast. Left and it’s the mountains. But that kind of rambling and meandering takes planning and organisation. What’s much easier is fulfilling my commitment to a […]
