It may be June, but today felt like the middle of winter! Trust London to keep us on our toes with the weather… Plus, my kids kindly like to keep me up at night and I’m feeling like I need a lot of self-care. So tonight, after putting the kids to bed, I had a…

Flu-Busting Elderberry Gummies
I really hate the term ‘flu season’. Flu is not a season! Influenza is a virus that, with an adequately supported immune system, will, at worst, leave us feeling pretty crappy for a few days, we may even experience a fever – heaven forbid! – but, assuming we don’t suppress it with fever-reducing medications and…
Homemade Vitamin Gummies
I often get asked what supplements I give my son and how I keep him healthy the natural way. People often ask if I give him a multi-vitamin. Hell. No. Multi-vitamins (for children and adults) are usually made using synthetic hormones and ‘vitamins’, in a very non-bioavailable source, not to mention all the additives and…
8 Tips To Holistically Aid Your Fertility Treatment
IVF is a gruelling process. It is impossible to grasp just how gruelling it actually is unless you have been through it. Physically, emotionally, financially; it drains you. The good news, however, is that there are plenty of ways we can be proactive in helping our bodies through the process. Firstly, to cope with the…
Chocolate Rice Krispie Donuts
Firstly, please excuse the poor quality picture. My camera has broken so this was taken on my phone. But anyway, who cares, because they taste so good and you’re still going to make them, right?! I had a half-eaten box of Rude Health Brown Rice Puffs in the cupboard and wanted to use them, and…
Essential Oil-Infused Himalayan Salt Scrub
Don’t we all need to make an effort to put more time into our self-care this year, especially as busy mums? I know I want to have more salt and oil-infused baths, maybe treat myself to a hair cut more than once a year and perhaps even paint those nails! But I’m starting with this….
Paleo Fig Rolls
As a kid fig rolls were not particularly appetising. They were the snack given when parents were attempting to offer ‘healthier’ snacks, even though they never took into account that said snacks would be full of sugar. During the Jewish festival of Purim, apart from having to be in fancy dress and get drunk (yes,…
Ultimate Healthy Hot Chocolate
For me there is nothing, and I mean NOTHING, more satisfying than a hot chocolate in the winter. Even more so when I’m on my period. I believe that part of the reason we crave comfort foods and cosiness when we’re on our periods is because it is a way for us to care for…
Maca-Chilli and Lemongrass-Wheatgrass Chocolates
The mayans believed that cacao was the drink of the gods, and with good reason! Raw cacao is high in magnesium and all the B vitamins; it promotes cardiovascular health and aids digestion; it is high in anti-oxidants, neutralising free radicals in the body and thereby preventing cancer. Cacao also promotes mental well-being due to containing…
Spicy Kale Chips
This is a variation of my regular Raw Kale Chips. By adding dried onion and tamari you get more of an umami flavour and the cumin seeds give them a middle eastern twist. Healthy snacking! Ingredients 150 – 200g kale leaves, weighed once you have removed the tough centre stem 70g raw cashews 45ml fresh lemon…
