Freelee is an insipiration for many, including myself, on the raw vegan health scene. Her dietary philosophy is very similar to my facelift diet approach and focusses on fruit as the main food for health, beauty and fitness. This is not about 'dieting' but about becoming lean, healthy, beautiful and fit and nature's most delicious and vibrant foods; FRUIT!1. Freelee, you are known all over th

Imagine credit: http://religionjusticewellbeing.org/If you have ever read anything I have written, you will know that good nutrition is the keystone of having gorgeous flawless and healthy skin. Any products used upon the skin itself are secondary to diet, merely helping to cleanse or lubricate the external structure of the skin. There is however, an often-overlooked third factor, which in my opin
I love using nature’s essential oils in my DIY beauty care and pampering rituals. Essential oils are powerful gifts; aromatic essences from the world’s most therapeutic and fragrant plants and they perform many functions in health and skincare as well as affecting our moods via the sense of smell. There are thousands of essential oils in the world, most of these are used in perfumery, a few hundre

In this modern world of highly processed fattening, adddictive junk food there seems to be a strange fashion for demonising on of our most healthy of foods; fruit.For those readers not initiated into the field of nutritional science. allow me to add my professional stance on this matter: FRUIT IS ONE OF THE MOST NUTRITIONAL & HEALTHY FOODS ON THE PLANET....and don't let anyone tell you otherwi
I recently taught a class on using essential oils in cooking, as part of a 2 day Diploma in Organic Essential Oils course that I teach with NHR Organic Oils. I have been working with essential oils for about 18 years in my work as a skincare formulator and tutor and teaching this aspect of oils reminded me how much fun they are to use in food; not just the oils but the hydrosols too (Hydrosol
I love this time of year as all the delicious orchard fruits like nectarines, apricots, peaches and cherries are making an appearance. Armed with a kitchen stocked to the rafters with delicious fruits I created this delightful fruit salad with the middle eastern fragrance of orange zest and roses, the decadent caramel sweetness of fresh dates and the mouthgasmic juiciness of pomegranate jewels, ne

I have a confession. I LOVE mince pies. I used to be able to eat an entire 6 pie box and it wasn't even christmas! These days I am much healthier and no longer stuff my gullet with refined sugar, white flour and suet (yuk!) but I still like to make 'treats' for myself and I get a kick out of re-inventing old favourites into healthy versions that will actually feed my skin and make me vibrantly hea

Did you know that every single skin cell in your body is built, maintained and repaired by the materials you supply in your daily diet?

Healthy fat free raspberry ice-cream, made just from fuit? YES!Who doesn't like sinking their spoon into a delicious bowlful of silky ice-cream? Sadly almost all ice-cream is either an expensive combination of high-fat, high-cholesterol foods like eggs, milk and cream or it is a throat-cloyingly insipid blend of cheap vegetables oils, emulsifiers and flavourings. Both types come loaded with lashin
I spent years not charging what I was really worth because deep down I held beliefs about money that came from both society and my poor background. I suffered with 'poverty conciousness' brought about by having lack of money throughout my upbringing and reinforced by the people that surrounded me through my adult life. Despite my open mind that understood that we create the life we want, my deep-s

If you haven't already noticed, all the Facelift Foods recommended by me are all plants. You won't find any mention of meat, fish, dairy or eggs, why?
