Slowly. Getting my mojo back.
Thank you for all of your kind messages about my Mum x

Right - be honest - tell me when/what was the LAST exercise you took? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can tell us, nobody is watching :-) Shall we spur each other on?
I’ll go first - I walked to Pilates last night, and I’m walking to the train station this morning... what about you? What can you do - however small or low key? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Take me back to morning yoga please.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That’s what I (we all) need - someone to make me (all of us) get up in the morning - thinking back fondly of warmer sun-up times in the mountains this summer with Nikita our host and yoga teacher @casatarsan.vegan.ecolodge (and wow did the session before this one release the weirdest vision of my Dad - the mind is AMAZING - like he was really there with me... trippy and very emotional) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Big love and here’s to more movement lovely people x ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
(oh and if Erik and Nikita could just pop over and feed me that amazing healing food every night too that would be great - @jollyallotment see you in an hour for some healthy eating inspo x) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Annual outing for this 🎃 pic.
Not so amused that he’s now actually taller than me - but I bet he’s still going to the local fireworks display at the weekend!

#Halloween 🎃 please tell me the pumpkin dishes you've been trying - let’s avoid the dreaded #foodwaste 🍝 🍰 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
According to environmental charity @hellohubbub, a rather scary 8 million #pumpkins were binned in the UK in 2017 alone! (the following seasonal puns are all theirs too! Oh gourd...)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Want to do your bit to help squash food waste this Halloween? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Check out the FaBOOlous pumpkin recipes on the www.hubbub.org.uk website through the link in their bio, or my swipe-up on stories.
There are ideas for cakes, curry, pumpkin hummus and more! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Let us know what you plan on making in the comments below 👇👌 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

What’s your favourite app for reducing stress in your life? Bookmark this post to get everyone’s tips!
Let’s talk about medication 💊 do you get that sense of panic (and heightened anxiety) when it’s running out?
Meanwhile - I’ve got a new app for you - and you know I don’t do many #ad posts so hope you don’t mind me sharing (or oversharing). I had just two days’ worth of my prescribed medication in my bathroom cabinet, what a saga, now are you prepared for a longish read?

So - In panic, called the doctor, 📞“you are number FOUR in the queue”📞 receptionist told me I had to email, I emailed and heard nothing, so called again two days later, 📞“you are number SIX in the queue”📞 ok - prescription was ready to collect, walked (half an hour) to the Doctor👩‍⚕️, picked up the “scrip” took it to the lovely pharmacist (who knows me well) pulled a face telling me that the whole of the UK had no stock of that medication (😱) and would I be happy with an alternative? Yes? Ok back to the GP to appeal for an amend to the prescription, she kindly did this for me in 10 minutes, (they know a hassled woman when they see one) and back over to the pharmacist I went for my meds.

Now - when I was asked to try this new App, it clearly could NOT have been better timed.

So simple to download from the App Store (look for Co-op Health App), with several ID options that were easily to hand (I went with photograph of passport, and a four second video ID) and low and behold - up popped my repeat prescriptions on my phone!🎉 Wow - I mean - don’t laugh, but this seriously is so cool - I “ordered” my medications and it’s with the GP - and I will be notified when it’s ready to collect from my nominated pharmacy.
There is also the option to have the medication delivered to your own address, however I like the 30 minute walk and the smiling faces of the pharmacists :-) Wherever you and your family are “in life” - this app will be a serious stress-relief and time-saver.

Tell me if you try it - and if you’ve any questions I’ll try and help!

Do you follow my Mother’s advice? Ensure every outfit has a pocket, and, always carry a snack bar in said pocket for growling tum emergencies.

@LarabarUK the vegan snack bar darlings, and official snack bar of London Fashion Week, asked me to share an outfit, and a few top low impact sustainable fashion tips too.

So - here we go - for my sustainable approach to fashion:

1) Consider what we need vs what we want - Buy less, live more ✨♻️💥💪
2) Buy second-hand/vintage ✔️
3) If buying new - buy organic cotton, hemp or linen which uses less water (so apparently it takes 2000 litres of water to make a plain white cotton T) ✔️
4) Buy clothes marked as fair trade - consider who made it
4) Try a #clotheswap party
5) Aim to get at least #50wears out of a garment ✔️
6) Try to go for a month without buying anything new - unless it's ethically produced, maybe rent some clothes?

Headscarf - Vintage, worn certainly more than 50 times
Earrings - Fairtrade silver, made in London
Bracelet - Made from ocean plastics
Rings - Handmade by me
Dungarees - Organic cotton, fairly made
T-shirt - Hand me down from my son, #50wears
Sneakers - Vegan, made from eco-micro fibre and pineapple leaf fibre and fair trade rubber.
Snack bar - Vegan nutrition snack bar with x10 peanuts and x2 dates from @LarabarUK available here in London @WholefoodsUK #FeedYourBodyFeedYourSoul
