Positive ageing with Suzi Grant, the nutritionist with a passion for fashion.
I know this isn't brilliant for anyone living in the Northern Hemisphere at the moment, but I just had to share this delicious cold soup/smoothie recipe with you because of the amazing veg available here in Byron Bay.... all grown locally, from the Farmer's Market, all organic and just a joy to use for gazpacho, especially as I am doing a detox at the moment. (Blog on that coming soon.) And just look at the shape of this cucumber - the EU wouldn't allow one of those to be sold in the UK!
Instead of concentrating on the crazy, mad & slightly depressing year it's been for us all, I am kicking off 2017 with my top ten personal, behind the scenes, highlights of 2016. The positives and accomplishments rather than the bad news, failures & the negatives. Hope you enjoy. There are only a max of 3 photos per highlight!
I am sharing yet another yummy and nutritious Jamie Oliver recipe, with my own vegan & vegetarian version for non-meat eaters. I have tried both options and they're delicious, easy and can be prepared well ahead of time.
Are you time short at the moment? I certainly am! The run up to Christmas, whether you are going away or staying at home, is just manic isn't it? It's also very cold in the UK at the moment so the thought of juicing green veg is just not making my body feel happy, let alone the time it takes. So, I have been doing a very lazy, quick version of my usual health packed smoothie which I hope will help you too get through the busy period, and beyond, with all the nutrients your body needs to fight exhaustion and stress. And it takes no time at all.
You know how much I love digging around in vintage markets, charity and pre-owned shops, as well as the High Street. So I just had to share this fabulous dress with you to encourage & hopefully inspire you to scour the markets, search on-line and generally have a good dig around for a true bargain. I was so happy with this pre-owned dress, from Harlem in Hove, that I wore it for my birthday lunch (with a vest and short leggings underneath!) and paired it with my very old pink Camper heels & a black cashmere cardi from Boden. Not my usual vintage look but love it as a party dress - perfect for the run up to Christmas.
Everyone seemed to love a peak into my summer wardrobe so much that I thought you might enjoy my new video on how I update a lot of my old winter clothes with accessories such as retro gloves, matching sunnies & the odd new headscarf. All done on a budget, of course!
