The magic of FLOWERS

I mentioned before I looove flowers. I wished for flowers for my birthday that was a few days ago and here's what I've got :)

Don't worry, the radiator it's not working... and that's not so great considering that outside it's snowing, but we'll survive. Any warm thoughts are wellcomed :)

I wish you flowers and send you happy vibes!

Free and healthy

I mentioned before about my new diet. Actually it is not so new for me. It has been a process of 4 - 5 years, and looking back I'm so glad and thankful I got so far :)

5 years ago, I had my first job, in a software company. I had a few extra pounds and a few allergies so I decided to start learning about nutrition. I started taking an organic suppliment that was helping with the detox of my body and along with it I needed to eat at least 70% raw foods, no meat, no dairy. It was pretty easy and I felt great. At that time I didn't consider this diet as a lifestyle so after a few months I went back to my old diet but I reduced the meat, I only eat a few times a year. But I was still eating dairy and cooked foods. In time, after reading more about nutrition, the idea of eating raw vegan started to get bigger in my head, but I felt like it's a very big step for me and I wasn't ready. In time, I totally stopped eating meat, after a while I didn't eat any dairy or eggs and I tried eating as much raw fruits and vegetables as I could.

So here I am, 5 years and lots of books and blogs, forums and documentries later, 100% raw vegan. Let us look at some "before" and "after" pictures :) I always loved that on other people and now I have the chance to do it. I'll let you guess witch is witch. Maybe the visible changes are not so incredible but I sure feel different, lighter and healthier than ever :)

New ideas

I went shopping for some new fabric today. I found this beautiful greish blue embroidered fabric that I think it's going to end up being a dress

This suuuper comfy, soft green cotton knit that I'll use for the Romantic Wanderer dress and the yoga pants.. and who knows what else ;)

And in this grey special fabric I see a funky skirt!

If you have any more ideas please let me know :)

Spring is here

Today spring came bursting into my heart :) with nettles and primulas

I was a bit sad and I went for a walk. I went to the local market where I always love to look at the coloured fruits and vegetables and smell all the freshness of the living foods. I found nettles for the first time this year. I was sooo glad! Like I have received a beautiful gift :)

I took the nettles home and made some green juice. yam, yam! :)) Not really yammy, just kidding, but very nutritious and energizing! Walking back home I fell in love with this flower and took here home with me also. I love how flowers always make me feel. Each and every time I look at them I feel joy. I see and feel the perfection of nature!
I realized today that you cannot be sad or depressed in the spring. Just get out of the house and the air, sun and singing birds will make you feel perfection :) Just try it!
yesterday I got one step closer to my wedding dress making this Snowdrop little white dress http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=41254956

What a happy day

Today I had such a nice and relaxing day :) I made this blue blouse for Heidi and a few more dresses and I had a lot of fun with Lucian, my boyfriend, who made me laugh until my jaws hurt :) Here we are planning about winning the Amazing Race :))

And here is Ozzy wondering what's with us

I have to confess I have a passion for sweets :) But don't we all?

Since I am eating raw I discovered a new world, where you can eat sweets (and I'm talking here about delicious, beautiful, yammy sweets) as much as you want and you still loose weight and you don't have to feel guilty eating them. Isn't that something?



Today I saw this felted cake on the first page of etsy and it reminded me of how greatful I am for my new life. I can eat tasty, exciting new stuff and because of that I look and feel great! I wish you all to get the chance to feel the same :)
