THE HOFFMAN PROCESS
Back in April, I completed the intense Hoffman Process. Working in wellness, I’ve become more aware of the commercialisation of retreats, products, and advice promising answers. While I sell classes, books, and talks that I hope are helpful, I remain naturally cynical about it all.
Sustainable Picnic Tips and What's Suitable For Composting*
With a sunny Summer ahead of us there will be lots of opportunities for picnics and eating outside. Years ago I wasn’t aware of the impact that single- use plastic has and just viewed it as something convenient to take with me on-the-go.

My Juice Cleanse lifestyle Tips
Initially this post was going to just be about juicing but what I noticed once I started the plan was that it felt as if my whole life came up for review. All the coincidences occurred, from bumping into people from my past, weird dreams and intuitively knowing how to flow with the energy, which at times can be uncomfortable. I feel more clearheaded and happier than I imagined on the other side.

How I Am Eating Now - The Loving Diet
After nine years of being vegan, my tastes have evolved, especially during the COVID-19 quarantine. I initially gravitated towards comfort foods and baking, but with less exercise, I quickly felt bloated and my sleep became erratic.

In 2013, Beyoncé and Jay-Z went vegan for 22 days, inspired by the idea that it takes 21 days to change a habit. Beyoncé emphasised the importance of a plant-based diet, stating that people should prioritise self-love by making healthier food choices and practicing good nutrition.

Adaptogenic Beauty Smoothies*
Now, I’m all about finding tasty vegan food that’s also packed with nutrients and gives me energy. When I first switched to veganism, I lived on pasta, bread, sweet potato fries, and hummus—delicious, but not exactly a balanced diet!
My New Year's Green Intentions*
As January wraps up, I want to reflect on some changes I’ve made that I plan to maintain throughout the year. I've learned that setting intentions, rather than just making resolutions or goals, is a more grounded way to approach change.

While I recognise the person I was then, I feel transformed. This year has taught me a lot, and I wanted to share my reflections.
