Having bought a Nutribullet I wasn’t convinced that carrots and beetroot would be “juiced” enough.  They were!  Success! My latest breakfast is so quick, easy, tasty and healthy that I am just adding more and more ingredients to it each day!  Am completely in love with my new gadget. I know the “purists” will disapprove but, frankly, I haven’t got the time to stand at a Juicer every morning, feeding small pieces of carrot through a funnel.  Better to get those nutrients down you than not at all is all I can say…

This is the sort of dish you can just throw together from stuff in your cupboard & fridge at a moments notice, as long as you have some cooked chicken in the fridge. Here's my Twiglet version, not strictly Paleo or wheat-free but there's so little it won't hurt....

On my way to Australia this year I stopped off in India for a month.  Like many other countries in Asia, India is humid, hot & sweaty. It's also conservative, so wearing skimpy tops & shorts isn't safe or appropriate - good news for us women of a certain age…

You probably know by now that swimming is one of the best exercises in the world for a beautiful bod at any age:  And you also know how much I love swapping winter in England for summer in Byron Bay, Australia. Last year, I started learning the Crawl in Byron, a swimming stroke I had never mastered, and this year I got another couple of lessons in, as well as practising more…

This is my fourth visit to India and I still haven't ventured out of the South!  From Goa to Mysore in the 80s,  from Mumbai to Munnar last year, this part of India, and in particular Kerala, has enchanted me so much that I still haven't explored the North.  Take a quick look at my three week escape to Kerala & Pondicherry. It might encourage you to come visit a less "in your face" part of this amazing country…

This is the detox I carry out in February (so much nicer than in January) when I am in Australia, or Spring when I am in the UK.  It's a great detox for losing a few pounds, healthily, to get into better shape for that bikini as well as re-training yourself out of bad habits! Spring and Autumn are great times to have a d.i.y detox for optimum health and I, personally, find January one of the worst months of the whole year to do one.  How depressing is that month anyway…
