phone photos from the last wee while

Sitting down to write has become a battle, not that I haven't got the time to do so, I just feel rather uninspired lately. All my time and energy is going into feeding myself (long story short. my poor gut had a major break down in November and my skin - always the first to suffer - has taken a beating unequalled to anything I've ever experienced). As I am adamant to solve this naturally, I had a massive change in lifestyle. Maybe I'll feel inspired to write down my whole story later, until than you'll most likely find me researching candida diets, living a healthy life style, how to feed myself during my vegan lent season, etc. Interesting and time consuming!
Anyway not to bore you, here are a few photos from Austria and back here in London :)

Salzburg surf

When I was in Salzburg last week we went for a walk along the Almkanal and walked past the "wave" we surfed in the summer (evidence to be found here!). Seems like a million weeks away and all that snow makes me wonder how on earth we ever went into the water! Love the seasons in Austria, you do get the best of everything!

So long Almkanal, see you in July x

pretty Northamptonshire

At the beginning of the year I escaped the city to visit my friend Hannah and her family.
I went for lots of walks around the country side, due to the flooding around Christmas time I saw lots of mirror images. One day we had a crazy blue sky (almost had forgotten what it looked like after months in the dungeon haha) and the sun was about to set, way too pretty not to share!


Thanks for having me Tibbles, was great catching up with you all x

the fight against food waste

Last week saw the launch of Enough Food #IF.
One of the aspects that there is not enough food in this world (or let's say fairly distributed, there is more than enough food in this world!) is food waste.
Tristram Stuart does an amazing job in breaking it down and explaining it in this video. Some of these numbers will shock and surprise you, be warned it's a sad reality we live in!


It is way too easy to throw out food, to use everything means you need to plan and get creative. I get a box of organic veggies every single week and as the produce is seasonal I had to come up with seven different ways to cook cabbage recently :)
As with everything in our world, if we all play our parts we can make a change.
You can still sign up and be part of the Enough Food for everyone IF campaign here.
Happy weekend x

American Apparel textile repurposing

I've always loved American Apparel and their philosophy.
This is taking it one step further and I couldn't be more excited about it as it brings together fashion and sustainability!



It is just as exciting as when Nudie made this video explaining their recycled pair of jeans :)
World changers!

so much snow up in the common
this tree was just too pretty to walk past, different colours and textures fascinate me!

 Green Park is indeed very green, even this time of year.

new favourite place to be :) divine and maybe dangerous dreams, visions and actions will be released in there.
