Make YOUR version of a Grawnola, blissful and smack-packed with all minerals, vitamins, protien and antioxidants that our body craves. 

Go get crazy and choose whatever seeds and herbs you like.
 Here is a list of the ones I regularly use.

Flax seeds (Brown & golden) are full of fiber and the great omega 3 fatty acids. They aid digestion and keep heart and arteries clear.
Sesame seeds (Black and white) are loaded with iron, protein (35%) and calcium. They support the kidneys and help lower cholesterol.
Quinoa is a complete source of protein and also a great way to gain minerals. Because it is so filled with nutrient and easy to digest, it´s one of the best foods for both athletes and young children.
Buckwheat is a balancing and alkalizing herb with a a lot of protein in it´s seeds. It stabilizes blood sugar and is therefore perfect for diabetics.
Pumpkin seeds is a little green one with super powers. According to Ayurveda it balances all body types. This seed is also great for all men to snack away on as it increases fertility and lower the risks of prostate cancer.

Cappadocia has long been on my bucket list. A land of fairy chimneys,uniquely-rippled landscapes and mysterious underground cities....all lying in the south of Turkey. It stole my attention and imagination the first time I saw pictures of it.

Best start to my morning...bikram yoga 
Followed by a relaxing afternoon in the sun 
Magical day at Nobbies . . . 
My Healthy Vegan Inspired Indian Pizza.... 
Mung bean pizza base + Sweet Potato Pumpkin Butter 
+  Dollops of Coriander & Cashew Nut Cheese
Falling Overnight. . .

"Shot on a shoestring budget over fourteen summer nights, Falling Overnight was conceived by director Conrad Jackson in collaboration with writing partners ParkerCroft and Aaron Golden. The writing team attempted to capture the numbness and isolation that comes from being “one of the sick people”, highlighting the bittersweet experience of falling in love when the future is uncertain. Instead of filling the story with the heightened, overly dramatic dialogue and scenes that populate much of contemporary film, the filmmakers created a lifelike world for their characters, pouring their own stories, experiences, dreams, and regrets into the script. Ultimately, it is real life that Elliot will miss."

Perfect ending to my day :)

Pebble Mandala

I have always love the intricate details of mandalas. The meanings of individual mandalas is usually different and unique to each mandala. The goal of the mandala is to serve as a tool on our spiritual journey as it symbolises cosmic and psychic order.

Counting down the day's until my next travel adventure's. Can't wait to immerse myself in india's rich culture, from the warmth of the people, to the taste of the food and from the adventure of travel to the colourful festivals and yoga retreat's. Most importantly to surrender to the flow of life and experience the attitude towards spirituality.
