I love technology and always keep an eye out for any new gadgets that are being developed. This one appeared in my Facebook feed this morning, and it has got me rather excited about it’s potential. The Nima is a small, portable sensor that people can use to quickly detect whether the food in front […]
We had a lovely long weekend…enjoyed getting out and about in this city we live in, even fitted in some vintage retail therapy. And then yesterday afternoon, I let my guard down…decided to have one of these… They are protein balls, and really yummy…they were meant to be gluten free and dairy free. But something […]
There seems to be so much hysteria and finger pointing about various “wellness” groups and diets over the last month or so. First it was the sad death of Jess Ainscough …..who had a huge following before she lost her fight with cancer, despite her strong beliefs in Gerson Therapy…a therapy that claims to boost […]

It […]

Since visiting this cafe, I did a quick search on the internet, and found quite a few negative reviews of this place…which would have definitely put […]
I have a food intolerance…for whatever reason my body decided about 6 years ago that it could not handle lactose. It makes me sick…sometimes very sick… It’s not life threatening, but before we finally worked out what the cause was, it was debilitating. It will hit within 30 mins of eating something with lactose…the waves […]
