I have decided to update some of the pictures on the main site as the garden has matured and things look slightley different now. The plants seem to have taken off this last few weeks as we have had our fair share of rain and the sun is now out giving us its feel good vibes and plenty of Vit D. I don't sunbathe at all usually as I don't want to look like a crocodile handbag when I get older, but yesterday I decided I was in need of a day off!! By 10.30 am I was in my costume and stretched out by the pool. One forgets how good it is to feel the sun on your skin, I would have gone naked if I knew for certain that the goatherd wouldn't turn up. I am also trying to not use any chemicals or hairdryer on my hair and am massaging olive oil with a few drops of romero (rosemary, easy one) essential oil in my hair every few nights to condition and hopefully help with clarity of mind. So yesterday I mixed an equal measure of fresh lemon juice (picked straight off the tree) and vodka together in an old spray bottle and sprayed this on my damp hair during the morning to create highlights naturally. You need to keep doing this till you get the result you want. It was a lovely relaxing day, mixing swimming and reading in the shade with bursts of sunbathing. Before i went to bed I made sure that I massaged my face, neck and hands with pomegranate oil; it is an organic product which also contains other essential oils and smells divine. I drifted of into a deep sleep. Result!
Going back to my main website, I mentioned on there that i was starting a 12 weeks fitness programme that should rid me of my inner menopausal fat. Well I felt good but it didn't shift what I wanted it to shift. I think now I have found the only true way its going to go and that is to give up alcohol, arghh!
As your liver is your fat burning organ i have been taking supplements that help cleanse and rejuvinate my liver and I find if i stop drinking alcohol the fat starts disappearing. Even after one teetotal evening you can feel less bloated. Well, I have tried every thing else and was hoping I wouldn't have to take this drastic measure, as sitting in the evening sun sipping a chilled glass of something is very hard to part with, but needs must, so I will report back on this and let you know how it goes.
Wish me luck !!
