Yipee!
I am so excited. Mmm as an aside I appear to spend alot of my time excited, don't I? Perhaps this is my favourite word!
OK, to the point! I am so excited because I now finally have a local organic box delivery service. If you have read an earlier post of mine you will be aware that I live in the bermuda triangle of organic veggies. NO MORE.
Now thanks to the wonderful www.riverswale.co.uk I get a delivery every week and the food is gorgeous. I also love the fact that the boxes are different ever time. It's like opening up a treasure chest as I just don't know what is going to be in there.
This past week I had wet garlic - this was completely new to me, I had never had it before. It looks alot like a baby leek yet has a very mild yet tangy garlic taste. It's blown me away that I can still discover new foods to eat.
I used the garlic in a delicious tomato and red pepper sauce:
I stem of wet garlic
2 large ripe tomatoes
1 red pepper
1 apple
Blend in a food processor for 5 minutes until smooth.
I poured this sauce over thinly shredded spring greens. It was amazing and especially wonderful as I used all the ingredients from the box and none from the supermarket. Yeah!
Raw Bombshell's love organic veggies - are you eating yours?

Wow! What a fantastic tele-class I had the other day - "Unlocking the 7 Simple Steps for You to Discover and Live as Your Raw Bombshell so You Can Be A Sizzling, Sensational, Phenomenal Woman - ALWAYS!"
http://www.therawbombshell.com/rawfood-7steps.html
Even though I delievered the call over the phone and was effectively talking to myself in an empty room, I could feel the energy and the connection of all the people on that had rung in. That was awesome. I love feeling that vibration of wonderful women! It is powerful stuff.
I shared my story of how I always had felt disconnected in my body and was living a life that was not in alignment with my true nature and how this mannifested itself in real mental pain. This is not a happy way to live, but it is through this that I learnt all about the raw bombshell process and the philosophy of the 5 raw bombshells...
And I just have to say this is a concept that I grow more in love with every day. I am so falling in love with my bombshells as they start to take on their personalities and how this is really going to impact you on your raw journey, to give you such a positive framework to work around. It's just so exciting...
To give you a brief summary I'm going to introduce them to you here and you're going to love them as much as me:
The Radiant Bombshell - this is the natural bombshell, the one created by a fantastic raw diet, she is a ray of light shining bright with joy. This bombshell has a radiant glow and an internal beauty. She will be found at one with nature in a happy, sacred environment.
The Captivating Bombshell - this bombshell uses her radiance to attract and hold the attention of loved ones, she can enchant all those around her, she has a beauty that people adore. This bombshell is a care-free social creature that loves to play in a childlike fashion.
The Gorgeous Bombshell - this bombshell is splendid and sumptouous in appearance. This bombshell looks amazing, she has her own style, great composure, fabulously groomed. She is stunning both internally and externally. This is a fun, creative bombshell that knows how to present herself to the world.
The Sensational Bombshell - this bombshell produces a startling effect wherever she goes. This bombshell has attitude, a sense of knowing her authentic self which combined with her feminine sensuality turns heads on every occasion. This is the bombshell to watch out for - she is one hot lady!
The Magnetic Bombshell - this bombshell exerts a strong attractive power that creates intense interest wherever she goes. This bombshell uses this strong reaction to exert a greater good, she allows people to magnetically come to her and her charming manner creates a sense of peace in all those that meet her.This is the bombshell whose energy is intense that when she walks into a room people are instantly drawn to her.
Aren't they funky and fun? I'm going to unveil each bombshell more in a series of teleseminars so you can find out more about them and to learn their traits so you can encapsulate this into your life. This is going to be an exhilerating experience.

On a raw food journey it's vital to know your inspiring vision - to propel you forward and to keep a hold of, as the daily grind of wondering how to make raw work trys to throw you off the raw journey you have decided to embark upon.
The problem though is it can then become more of a challenge to think of this vision. Questions come in well I don't know if that's me, I'm not really worthy of that or worse still you pick a vision that you think you should have but it isn't a true vision for you. You know, what I mean, when you see what other people are doing and you believe that is the only way to succeed.
However, you will never get your vision if you hold onto somebody elses version or you down play your ability to have an inspiring vision.
This is where it then becomes important to know your raw bombshell.
The concept that I have been working on and taking my private clients through is to first get to know themselves. A raw bombshell is a person who can lay claim to all that is good about themselves. They instantly know what it is that makes them unique, passionate individuals. They know what turns them on, what works for them, how to eat for their own raw journey. A person who is not swayed by other peoples opinions, other peoples judgements, other peoples values.
The best thing about getting to know your own raw bombshell is once you have worked out the steps to really know you, your style, your diet, your health, your values, your needs and so on. It becomes so much easier to then project your vision.
As so many of us struggle with the concept well I can't have a vision as I'm not right now, I can't think of the future when I'm in confusion about the everyday.
That's ok. You know it really is ok to not have it all worked out! But once you discover your own raw bombshell you can put all that to oneside as just a distraction but not one to get overly bothered about, as you see a raw bombshell knows their worth, their inherent abilities and can just shrug these feelings off as a bit of a bad day, wiggle their hips, flutter their eyelashes, bring out the biggest smile you have ever seen and go "Damn It. I'm great and I'm just going to darn well get on with the day and take one more step towards my magnificence!"
If you would like to know more about this concept about how discovering and living as your raw bombshell will make your raw journey fun, enjoyable, easy and down right sensational, I invite you to join me on my groundbreaking call on Tuesday May 19th, to find more information and to register please click on this link. See you on Tuesday!

What a beautiful Monday morning it is. The sun is finally out, the rabbits are playing, the birds are singing and I had a lovely 5 minutes watching them swoop over my little lake. It's at times like this that my heart swells with an overwhelming love and the peace of life descends around me. I've always felt at one with nature and as Spring turns towards Summer I get so excited. I just love the sun and living in the North of England its not something I see alot of! I think this is why I get so excited when it does come out. I love the fact that everyone becomes happier and free. Everyone starts to smile for no reason.
Well, as a Bombshell, I think its important to smile for no reason at any time - to warm up a person's day by a cheery smiley hello but I do notice most people walk around with a gloomy look to them but.. bring the sun and that demeanour changes and the smiles come out.
It blesses my soul and brings a spring to my step - so I hope you have sun wherever you are and that you go out and smile at someone today just for the pure joy of you being a happy raw bombshell!

A quickie today!
I was wondering how do you take compliments?
OK, now your getting that hot bod through fantastic raw living are you getting more attention than you did before? Does this make you comfortable? I'd love to know your thoughts.
It's always struck me how when someone receives a compliment they want to down play it, oh this old thing, or no I don't look too clever today... I don't know insert what you say or have heard people say. But it's fascinating how we all get embarassed at someone saying something nice to us. Why?
This is not a Raw Bombshell attitude!
If you're already gracefully saying thank you when someone says something nice, fantastic and wonderful to you - you rock gal! However, if you're mumbling some old nonsense.. it's time to stop.
Eating raw is going to get you looking and feeling great so you have to act great too. It's cool to do and fun...
AND it's also real cool to compliment someone back

You are an ever evolving creation and this is a good thing!
Well, it's work... and if you're anything like me, work can be one of those nasty four letter words. It's also REALLY exciting when you connect your inner being with your outer persona. The beauty of eating raw food is it acts as a catalyst to allow you to explore the possibility of identifying and being your real self. But how do you get to know what your inner person really looks like? Well, I just cannot wait any longer as change has been afoot in The Raw Bombshell HQ and the business and myself has/is undergoing a major overhaul. The reason being, it wasn't reflecting the real me and my message and there is nothing more soul destroying than hanging onto an outdated message as it fails to serve you. This is the time when your energy dips and your momentum for whatever you're doing just vanishes. I ask you "What do YOU have low energy around?" Then ask yourself "Am I playing to an outdated model of myself?" and follow it with the statement "I am willing to embrace change to be true to my inner being" or as I like to call it your Raw Bombshell. And now I've uncovered a way for you to connect with your inner being by discovering the 5 Raw Bombshell "types" - these being the five different stages And because, I want you to have all the information that you need to make the most out of what I'll be sharing with you I'm inviting you to sign up for a fr*ee one time only teleseminar that I will be running on May 19th to introduce "The 7 Simple Steps to Discover and Live as Your Raw Bombshell" To sign up please click on this link to register I can't wait to "see you" on the call.

I've done it again! Every time I write/read that heading I start to sing David Bowie.
The thing is though I've been undergoing a lot of change. As you have probably read from my last post I have had a challenging time. But the best news is - its all been a fantastic learning experience for me.
I've taken the opportunity to connect at a very deep level with some truly phenomenal women which have opened my eyes as to the best way to deal with any major crisis in life. I'm afraid much has been too personal for me to share which is why I've been too quiet of late. BUT it's not in my nature to be quiet, no siree! So, its time for me to embrace the world again.
This has resulted in a whole new, redefined much more focused business structure for me. Don't worry though, it will still be The Raw Bombshell but I've defined my message.
In a nutshell, I'm all about raw food but... I'm here to use that energy to catpult you forward in every aspect of your life by discovering, embodying and unleashing your inner raw bombshell. This is exploring you on a much deeper level. Raw food is only the starting point.
Over the course of the next few days I will be unveiling more of my business/coaching model. Stay tuned.

What Happened to The Raw Bombshell?
I was happily doing my 40 day yoga kriya on self-renewal and yes I was being rubbish at updating this blog about it. It just didn't feel right so sorry for that. But I did get some good insights into yoga and the raw food journey especially related to the beginning of the journey. Look out and I will share that in an upcoming programme.
So what was I saying, yep I was happily renewing myself when tradegy befell me and I literally renewed myself. I like to be a bit melodramtic so bare with me...
I was excitedly playing piggyback as you do as an overgrown child - its all that playful energy you get from raw food - but note to self I'm 37 not 7! Anyway, it all went wrong, very wrong. We both fell but unfortuantly my face broke the fall as I said hello to a not too friendly pavement. Oh my! It hurt and it hurt big time. There was blood spurting out everywhere and as I held my hand up to my face I could feel the area just above my lip had exploded. It was just this huge mess. I wailed, I cried, I was devasted and distraught. I'm not very good in situations like this.
I did calm down and went to accident and emergency. The nurses all looked at my face with a pained look. Now that is never a good sign in my book if the nurses look squemish. The doctor came poked it a bit, asked if I'd eaten (err yes I'd had my breakfast of grapes, so appropriate don't you think?!). He shook his head in dismay. I needed surgery and its no good if I've eaten. Doh! So I was sent home with a letter and told to go to the plastic surgery (doesn't that strike fear into you - it did me) unit the next day. I was terrified.
Monday came, and I shakily booked into the hospital. I was examined by the surgeon who proclaimed the surgery could be done under local anaesthetic. I wasn't too happy about that as it meant a load of needles in my face. But who was I too argue?!
As I sat in my hospital bed waiting, the fear that overcame me was huge. I have never had surgery and I have never had stitches. I was so scared. It was hard to keep back the tears. The thought of my face never being the same again was also too much for me to bear.
The nurses were wonderful and reassured me to the extent that I walked down to the operating theatre quite cheerily talking about raw food with the nurse. But then as she opened the doors to the waiting area, my nerves got the better of me again as I saw all the doctors and nurses waiting. It was strange. I was placed on a bed, spoken to about what was going to happen and then wheeled into the theatre. As I was in the anteroom the thought that I was abducted into an alien spaceship popped into my head. Don't ask why. I think it was just all the equipement and sterility.
Then into the actual theatre. This was just too much. I tried so hard to be brave but it didn't work. A nurse gently took my hand and stroked it to comfort me as the surgeron started to inject the anaesthetic into me. It hurt so much. I fought to fight back the tears and tried to be still. She scrubbed all the dirt out of my chin and then she moved onto injecting my lip and nose. I couldn't bear it. I shook with a violent energy and my breathing became very rapid. As she injected and cleaned it became obvious to her that the injury was more serious than she first thought. The consultant surgeon was summoned. As my surgeon explained to the consultant what she was going to do, I could hear him saying no that was no good as it would leave too much of a mess, no they would have to cut the area around my nose and take a piece of skin there and graft it to the area above my lip.
That was it, I broke down. I cried and cried, I shook so explosively, I was pretty uncontrollable. The nurses and the surgeons all calmed be and were so wonderful. I was told I was to be put under general anaesthetic and as that was mentioned there was just a huge flurry of activity in the operating theatre as everyone prepared for surgery. I tried to listen to the music they had so kindly put on for me which helped to calm me slightly.
The anaesthetist came and explained to me what was going to happen and how I would feel cold moving up my arm. It reached my elbow and I don't remember anything until I was sat somewhere bewildered asking where I was - in the recovery room.
I was moved to the ward and I took a picture - I can only share this now 16 days later as my face is recovering because believe me at the time I never thought I would be the same again.
As you can see I was not a pleasant site and a raw bombshell I was not! I lost my smile and I didn't like that. I was told by the nurses to avoid hot food - I tried to laugh as I could see the irony!
I spent the next 10 days really quite out of it, sleeping lots and drinking loads of smoothies and juices. I think this has worked a treat as my face is healing really fast and its now 16 days since the accident and I'll share my latest photo:
I almost have my smile back - that is as far as it goes at the moment as I still have stitches inside my mouth. I'm looking better and I'm happier. The whole accident has really thrown me and I'm behind on launching a programme but I'm back on track. My clients that I am working with at the moment have been lovely - so thank you for your understanding when I rearranged sessions.
I've updated you all now on what has happened. I do think looking at the above photos is a huge testament to raw food healing. Perhaps it would have cleared as quick on cooked food but a large part of me doesn't believe that at all.

The day has been so calm and peaceful. Very pleasant to be honest. I was so excited at the thought of getting up this morning to do my kriya - now that really is a first, recently with the cold and the dark I've been staying in my bed for as long as I possibly can. And its strange as I've got up early yet I've not felt tired once.
There is this calmness in my head. It's been there all day. I felt the strain of doing the kirya this morning, not as easy as yesterday as my muscles were aching from yesterday's exercises. But, I began to feel the energy rising up my spine. I love that. It's all tingly and vibrates through your body.
I can't get over the peace. I'm surrounded by it. Bliss. Which is in contrast to the day I've had what with my internet really playing up. Boy, can I tell you it's hard to run an online business with a dodgy internet connection. A 5 minute job ends up taking an hour. Are these things just sent to test me?!
It's as if my head is being refocused. I've been busy organising my house, my office, my business. I love it. The sense of order is somehow reassuring!
I'm still embraced in my cocoon though. Sorting everything out, getting in order, housekeeping has to be sorted before you can bloom.
I have this underlying feeling of pure excitement, explosive and joyful. I have to smile.
On to tomorrow.... what will it bring? xx
