Ready for 'International Green Smoothie Day'...???

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 location 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...

on August the 10th I had:

1 quart water
2 cups veggie juice: cucumber, kale, parsley, fennel, sprouts, carrot
2 cups ‘energy soup’ with coconut chips and some bell pepper on the side
handful of fresh blueberries
slice of AMAZING blueberry birthday cake made by Mr. Monarch

teaspoon of chlorella powder

After a whirlwind last few days in Iceland, I’m back in England again now...and the Monarch is back in the States :(
He speaks Thursday night in CT and Saturday in NYC – you can see all the details of his events HERE. Meanwhile, on the right-hand-side of the ocean, I’ll be attending the sublime Funky Raw Festie this weekend, which has now ceremoniously sold out of tickets...it’ll be GREAT fun, I’m sure...keep visualising bright sunny festival days, despite the current gale-force winds in southern England ;)
A huge, delicious THANK YOU to Iceland and to ALL the wonderful people we have been connecting with there for the last couple of months – love, love, LOVE you :) It is truly SUCH a unique place with outstanding natural beauty and resources...thank you for fresh water, clean air, yummy greens, geothermal wonders, loving community, enthusiasm, courage and of course...wild berries…MMMMMmmmmmm… Watch out for an interview about my weight loss story in Icelandic newspaper ‘24 Stundir’, scheduled to be printed this Friday...and I do hope it’s not three years again before we make it back to Icelandic shores... ;)
