After having a massive moan about it yesterday (well, a group moan cos it turns out I definitely wasn’t alone), I can confirm that there are some lovely benefits to Autumn. Like dressing like a gnome 😍😍😍 Right baby Blueberry? (That’s not her real name - it’s Eeeky) (Actually it’s Sienna - our @soundsebastien baby) 👶

I got out the wrong side of bed this morning - late night last night, pouring rain for 2 days, cold house that creaks, dogs that won’t go outside to pee but continuously groan about it. And I’ve got a big and long day ahead. Did I mention I woke up to the dogs howling their heads off when Nick snuck out the door while it was still dark for yoga??? Autumn is a bit of a sticky time for #Vata except that sticky is not the right word - more drafty, cold to the bone and anxiety inducing. But as the sun spreads its wings and I peek out at the rust coloured leaves gathering outside the window I’m reminded that this is ok, I’ve been here before. #PMA my mum would say. So I stick my socks on the radiator make a cup of tea, walk the dogs and get my meditation in and feel so much better. The trees aren’t worried - it’s all part and parcel of the circle of life. Sigh, slip, slurp - ah hot tea 😋

#ad YES I’m showing off 🤭☺️ cos I’m having one of those good hair & make-up days with minimal fuss and minimal effort - anyone else feel the joy when that happens?!💄👄🙋🏻‍♀️ So let’s talk layering the lippie - something that harks back to my modelling days when makeup artists very rarely (unless it was a cracking shade of red) used just one lip colour. What suits me from one day to the next depends on so many factors - sleep, weather, colours of my clothes so I love to layer lipsticks / lip balms to get the perfect shade. Here I’m wearing a Satin Lipstick and Tinted Lip Balm in shades Tulip Tide and Zinnia from my @burtsbeesuk x @feelunique Be Vibrant lip kit. Does anybody else have any lipstick tips and tricks?? #BeATrueForceofNature

Well D just had to be Dosha right? Yes, in #Ayurveda, Vata, Pitta and Kapha are the 3 'Doshas' or energies that describe everything in and around us - including our personalities, our body types and even our poops!! 💩 •
Vata is air and space 💨 🌫
Pitta is fire and water 🔥💧
Kapha is water and earth 💧🏞
•
Each of us has a unique combination of ALL 3 that make up our natural mind-body type (our Prakriti), usually with one dominant one (I am very Vata! But genetically also have a good helping of Pitta), but we can lean towards the others, as well as aggravate our most dominant dosha, depending on our environment and what we are doing too much or too little of (our Vikriti or current imbalances). Everything is always changing in and around us, and the Doshas are a great way to make sense of it all and bring ourselves back into balance! Start by taking the Dosha quiz on my website (via the link in my bio) to find out which corresponds most to your mind-body type. Who already knows theirs?! 👌🏼👌🏼#eastbywest #ayurvedaalphabet

Say hello to yesterday’s breakfast - Korean inspired Fried eggs with Tamarind and quinoa cauli ‘rice’. Easy, tasty and pure ‘scoopable’ comfort! 😋 🍳 🥗 Packed with hidden veggies (that grated cauli doesn’t need to be anyone’s business if they’re cauliflower adverse as, let’s face it, so many of us are after eating over boiled cauliflower as school kids! 🤭😩) with an easy sweet and sour Tamarind sauce to make your tastebuds water. So good I’ll be cooking this for brunch on this weekend when my friends from Devon come to visit. Head over to the link in my bio for this easy recipe 👩🏻‍🍳 And hands up if you’re making it for brunch this weekend (and for dinner tonight too! 🤣👍) #livinglavidaveda #eastbywest

Did you know that nearly a third of clothes (= £1,000 per household) haven’t been worn in the last year?! 🏠 I can totally admit to stashing stuff into the depths of my wardrobe for maybe years, and hanging onto items ‘just in case’ I fancy wearing them again. The truth is they’re no good to anyone hiding in there - don’t let things go stagnant😱 I want to keep the energy moving which why I’m donating this dress, top and jeans to @method_uk’s #slowfashionstore pop-up opening from 16th-17th October, 189 Shoreditch High Street next week so they have another chance to be shown off again by someone else ♻ You’ll have the opportunity to shop donations, customise clothing to give it a new lease of life and of course, donate any items from your own wardrobe - all in aid of the brilliant @ClothesAidServices. Who’s coming down?! 👗👙👘#LookGoodDoBetter #ad

OK hands up who hasn’t been to one of my #Ayurveda talks yet?! 🙋🏻‍♀🙋🏻‍♀ If you have you’ll know I love a bit of colour 😉 💙💚💛🧡❤ ... And if you haven’t then I’ve got another one coming up **next Wednesday 17th at 6.30pm in Soho** where I’ll be in convo with @haenikim at the @kitristudio pop-up on Brewer Street. If you want to learn more about this holistic philosophy for health and happiness that’s gaining traction in the west RSVP at studio@kitristudio.com to confirm your spot & see you there 👀 If you can’t make it in person don’t worry as it will all be on Instagram Live too 👌🏼👌🏼

If you read my #morningroutine post last week, you’ll know that right about now I’ll be tucking into brekkie. It could be this Akuri scrambled omelette (page 54 sooo yum!) 🍳 and a cup of Rooibos chai (page 38) ☕ - but what I’m actually having for brekkie is my fav bowl of stewed spiced apples! 🍎 🍏 You’ve seen it a million times on this feed already and I love watching all of you cook it up too, I’m back on Cleanse + Reset this morning for at least 2 days as I know I’m home in the evenings. A lovely way to balance out rich foods, party cakes and sandwiches of the past week and weekend. And @nickhopper_galacticman is on board too after a week on the road filming a car commercial. We both need good, grounding, easy to digest nosh 😋 Let’s do this. Anyone else done an impromptu Cleanse + Reset since they discovered it? Sign up to the newsletter to get the link of you haven’t already. Namaste 🙏

How right is this? And how often we forget🤭

This weekend I had my cousins on my dads side over from Wales to stay - not cousins I ever got to play with growing up but definitely cousins, despite by one of those family quirks them being maybe twice my age. We had such a lovely evening working out our complicated family tree and sharing stories. Today we joined another cousin, and lots more relatives on my dad’s side, for the christening of her baby boy. In my lifetime I’ve rarely spent any time with this side of the family - I’m fact so many of us there had barely ever met. Yet it was wonderful to refresh a bond that runs as deep as blood and chat to the people that had watched my dad grow up. I don’t miss dad today because I saw him everywhere.

Thanks @minimalismlife lismlife for the reminder 🙏. Bedtime now - make sure you think of at least one thing you’re grateful for - it helps make sweet dreams! Xxx
