Last Sunday I realised that winter was here. I was totally oblivious to it as it was super mild up until then. I walked out of the gym, wearing my autumn parka with a pair of workout leggings and there it was, that wintry chill that was cutting through my clothes and biting my skin. That day I really needed a nice, comforting and super hot meal to warm up. As I was picking lots of seasonal veg from the farmers market I had an...

“How not to die” is the subject of the book I picked up off the shelf at Barnes and Noble while on holiday in New York. I thought the title was quite harsh at first but then I realised that it's more thought provoking than anything else I found that day so I bought it.  The author of the book, Michael Greger, is an internationally-renowned nutrition expert, physician, and founder of NutritionFacts.org. In his book he examined...

The best recipe for a vegan lentil and vegetable lasagne by the author of Easy Way to Go Vegan.

Dear Non-Vegans,

I will never judge you for eating meat. I myself was a meat eater for most of my life. I know that sometimes you're faced with a lot of hate and judgement from many vegans but please understand that it's not from every single one of them. Veganism equals compassion, we love you just as much as any other living being. 

I will never say a bad word about you because it is not my place nor it is my intention. No mat...

Over the last couple of weeks I've been approached by many of my clients asking for tips on how to commit to their goals. My response is always the same, ask yourself "How bad do you want it?". Whenever I have to ask this question to myself, I turn to one very motivational video which in essence says "you have to want it as bad as you want to breathe". See, our goals and aspirations cannot be something that we just want to do...

Plastic pollution is one of the most talked about topics pretty much in everywhere now. From fashion to politics, people are trying to find ways to reduce their plastic waste, or their waste in general. Zero waste movement is growing so fast that even I can’t keep up with it. Every business meeting I had with anyone connected to health and wellness is concerned about how bad it really is. Every person is trying to do a bit her...

In this current day and age we often just go around our business not realising what is really going on around us, with us or next to us. We wake up, shower, have breakfast, go to work, break for lunch, go home, maybe go to the gym, eat, shower, go to sleep. I guarantee that this routine was or is a part of pretty much everyone who is reading this post today. Obviously, there may be some differences, some of us will incorporate...

Finding the right protein powder was very tricky for me. I must have gone through at least a dozen of different brands from the UK and the US. I finally settled on the ones that I liked most but still continue to switch between one and the other, depending on whether I am drinking it, using it for baking or in smoothies. 

To start with, it's probably worth talking about whether or not you need protein powder supplement in your...

Fear.

I’ve been afraid of spiders since I was a little girl. I tried to identify where that fear comes from for couple of years and for quite some time I was sure it was the movie, Arachnophobia as I remember getting a glimpse of it as a kid. Then one day, on my recent travels back home I overheard my mum saying how scared she was of them. Bingo! It was through my mum that this fear transmitted on to me, not because I chose it...

 A couple of years back you would see me organising my life always few months in advance. I would know where I was going to be at any given moment at least few weeks ahead. Then BANG! I forgot that the Universe may have had plans other than the ones I set for myself. This is how my life began to change. This is when I started to realise that it's not all up to me, that my life can be influenced by someone or something else and...
