Welcome to the first of a series of posts featuring fabulous individuals (some of my favourite people!), their inspiration and insights into some of my favourite subjects: wellness, wanderlust, food and travel! I couldn’t think of a better person with whom to begin this dialogue than long-time connection, friend from afar and I Quit Sugar super-star expert…

ON AUTHENTICITY (eat – and post – what makes you happy!)
A while ago I posted about authenticity and that, according to Gabby Bernstein (and many others, no doubt), our truth – right here and now – is all we need to offer other people; our “authentic self” is what attracts others to us, and allowing ourselves to be who we are is the only thing that…
MY BIG NEWS & THE CONTINUATION OF THE SUGAR-FREE JOURNEY (and the gratitude)
What a week it’s been! My Cupcake became an 18 month-old today. This combined with seeing her through her first week ever at nursery school and my little L having some medical (and other) issues, makes for one super-emotional Miss Marzipan.

Yes,…
PRE-CHRISTMAS SHAPE-UP: the results
MY GOAL TALLY: To be able to run 30 minutes on the treadmill– I actually beat this by a few minutes not long after setting this target. To do yoga/pilates once a week– um, let’s just say this wasn’t quite so successful (but I am making up for it now with 2-3 sessions of yoga/body…
PRE-CHRISTMAS SHAPE-UP
Traditional Christmas celebrations in Northern Europe, aside from being charming and cosy, are a decidedly stodgy affair. The weather calls for it.
