MMmmmmmm, thank you all SO much for all the yummy birthday wishes that have been pouring in from internet-world this week – they are very much appreciated ;) We celebrated the occasion with a special trip to pick fresh wild Icelandic blueberries at a lovely locat
ion next to a national park. It was very blissful, out in the sun, collecting up Mother Earth’s delicious offerings...you can see a few pics from the day HERE (including this one to the right of the BEAUTIFUL blueberry birthday cake creation Mr. Monarch made ;)
...and don’t forget, you can currently order my ten favourite products in the RawReform store at 30% OFF, until August the 30th – see HERE for the birthday celebration specials...
My dear friend Solla also gifted me a NETI POT for my birthday :O LOL – FUN ;) (If you’re not familiar with neti pots, they are little pots, not dis-similar to a teapot in appearance, used to clean out the nasal passages/sinus with salt water.) The Monarch and I have both used the neti pot a few times already and we’re both AMAZED at the feelings of clearing and open-ness it brings to our sinus cavities...breathing seems to automatically come more deeply after using it...very interesting – another new ‘detox’ gadget to play with ;) LOL...
