This art bite features a UK based artist that I have been a HUGE fan of for a while! When I see her work, it always reminds me of having a really "cooling spiritual water-energy" feeling... there is a flow about it. Does that make sense lol?!? I have also seen her work on numerous flyers around culture shops in London, promoting events (talks, open mic etc) and other artists. About the

I was asked by a reader a while ago how I felt about locing with having "biracial/mixed hair" and it made me wonder what it all means... and what "biracial/mixed hair" meant to me... I am biracial-  my mother is European, my father is African.  There are several issues that have come up over the years... and a few things that I celebrate! "You've got that great biracial hair" :It's funny how so

Hey everyone! I've enjoyed writing this blog... I just love writing in general and sharing stuff... but now I'm looking for a little more inspiration and would love some feedback from you - I'm asking myself: what next for this blog? Or should I say... what would YOU like to see in this blog? Thank you for all the comments and emails in the past, it has been very positive and uplifting! It's

A while ago, I did my vision board to welcome the new season and keep motivated. It began with a piece of paper, in sections that represented different areas of my life that I wanted to explore on my vision board and to get a little organised with where to put the cut-out pics... And then came the stacks of yoga and health mags that I have collected over the years, it was so hard to cut them at

There a few simple things that can instantly cheer me up... having a regular sugar scrub is one of mine! It's super easy to make, ingredients can be changed around to suit your needs, much cheaper than most of the scrubs bought at shops and is fun! Here is the basic way to make it (I would suggest to use a natural oil instead as most baby oil products contain mineral oils, etc)... My personal

Some fantastic words to reflect on... What If? What if there is nothing wrong with you at all? What if all the thoughts that run through your mind are not really yours but the thoughts of others that are invading your personal space? What if you are ideally perfect in your beingness? What if you really loved who you are, why you are, the way your are? Sometimes, we get into a flow of mind chatter

I've watched this woman for years on UK TV and she's always so beautiful, strong, confident and amazing. I especially love her love story with her husband, so romantic!She most famously appeared on TV, alongside BNP (racisrt UK group) political member Nick Griffin and completely tore him to shreds lol!

I think this is such a perfect time to start new projects, visualisations, ideas and get the creative juices flowing! I'm taking up the liver cleanse detox and working on my vision board!

There are 3 topics that I usually love when reading blogs... natural hair, natural/holistic lifestyle and... insights on life in other countries! These topics are almost guaranteed to get me hooked lol. Travel is my passion - I LOVE it! I need it lol. So, having first hand insider's thoughts to living/travel in different parts of the world is such am inspiration. I hope to move from the UK and

It's funny how at times like these, questions are asked. "Who do you support in the World Cup?" - for example - and "Who do you feel you are?"... The truth is, there are any sides and cultures to me and I can't say that only one defines me completely... The changing face of Europe is also an exciting thing to explore. I am so supportive of those who are changing the landscape of what a

More poetic inspiration that touched me. This talented woman is fantastic to watch as many of her poems express spirituality, African culture and food for thought! In this poem she talks about Saartjie Baartman, who was finally laid to rest in her home, South Africa. Warning: Swear words.

With Summer here, it is a great time to try cooling drinks. Keeping on the Spanish theme lol, this is a must-do!!! This is one of my favourites that I love drinking with ice. In Spain, you can buy this in cartons and ready-made but as I'm in London, I have yet to find any... who needs the easy option anyway, when you can make your own right lol?!?
