Reflections,
observations, random thoughts, mental notes!

I
remember that, when I first encountered the concept of compressing, my muslin
handling left a lot to be desired! To watch me in action was much akin to
watching a fight with a pasta maker - giant sheets of lasagne wildly flapping
around. Fortunately, there is another handy little video on the Dr.Hauschka
site, which also gives good tips on which Bath to use.
Lately,
I haven’t been sleeping that well; so wide-awake at 6.35am I decided to use
the time for a footbath and eye solace treat - bliss.

My
Skin
How
comfortable does my skin feel after cleansing?
|
My
skin is starting to scab over (oh how attractive that sounds! I should have
perhaps used terms like repair and regenerate). This is danger zone territory for me. I
would normally be tempted to give nature a "helping hand" – literally - by
removing all that unwanted dead skin in double quick time. Fortunately, one
thing that the Radiant You routine immediately gives you is time for reflection
– the smell of the Lavender Bath calmed my senses. To use a concept from the
Matrix (the film, not a L’Oreal product which are best not used at all in my
experience) I have been down that road before and I don’t like where it
leads.

Activities

Made
the most delicious Rhubarb & Custard Smoothie for lunch:
· ¼ packet Alpro Soya
Custard (ok that is cheating the smoothie was bound to be delicious no matter what else I added!)
· Handful of frozen
strawberries
· 1 stick of raw rhubarb
peeled and chopped (leaves and root are poisonous so stay
well clear of those in any creations).
· Freshly extracted juice
of 2 oranges
Whizz
up all ingredients together in a Vitamix (kind of kitchen
appliance that has a “hooooow much? I
asked to buy a blender not a cooker” price tag, but honestly worth every
penny. I use mine every day.)
Sowed
some Wheatgrass seeds, so I can have Wheatgrass shots for breakfast. As it
takes about 8 days to be ready for harvesting, here is the other type of wheatgrass shot:

Pneumatophores
(I enjoy saying this word quickly, people often mistake it for a
sneeze). Taken at Kew Gardens, by the
lake outside the Plants & People Exhibition. These plants do look like
little people, well little creatures from Wind
in the Willows
