And so the journey begins.

Well then...

For a while now I 've been throwing around the idea of starting up my own blog (and by "a while" I mean a great part of a week), until I finally decided to jump! And now here I am...the first post.

HELLO!...It seems only fitting that we start with a greeting, after all, it IS considered rude not to acknowledge the presence of others.

A little over a week ago, yours truly decided to (for the second time)courageously embark on the perilous journey of a juice detox and do what no other woman has done all in the name of cleansing and systems renewal *holds hand to forehead*. OK perhaps that is a little dramatic, and not to mention, (overly) exaggerated...but you get my point. I WANTED TO FLUSH THE GUNK OUT MY *fails to find an appropriate word that might rhyme with gunk to make a more catchy phrase, so settles instead on...* BODY.

It worked...it was worth it...but it was unnecessarily frustrating.

To a few friends I wrote:

"I do have to add that I love the idea of giving your body a break and allowing it the time and space of ridding itself of toxins...BUT!... If I had to do it again (which I probably will) I would definately do it a little different... I cannot even begin to explain how seriously I've missed chewing.

*shout out to Nolo, Pascie and Vuyo*

It was this email (that I had such fun typing out mind you) that fuelled the already ignited flame of creating my blog *again with the drama...it's a habbit*

Well that and Neo's blog *shout out to Neo from thee immaculate...haaaay!*

Anyway,I have come to the realisation that if my mission to a healthier self is to be fulfilled...I would HAVE to take a holistic approach to it.


I cannot bear the thought of divorcing the chocolate coated, the three cheese sauced, the deep fried, the cooked to al dente and the chicory roasted (coffee beans). I am not prepared to permanently part with the fizzy, the double creamed or even the "now with added sugar". I cannot fight my fate...my destiny...I am who I am...I am a "does this have an upsize option" kinda gal *please pass the gravy*.

This is the foundation of my blog. How to navigate the spaces between my passionate relationship with food and a healthier me. And finding a comfortable space for me on the quilt that is wellness.

Food choices, exercise, emotional well-being, (this sometimes very complicated) womanhood (thing). Every and any thoughts concerning the different departments of my world will be (shamelessly) noted here...on my blog... My baby.

I hope you all fall in love with my whimsical talk and my colourful thoughts (i'm not one to toot my own horn but TOOT-TA-TOOT-TA-TOOOOT!! lol...I kid). Feel free to leave your views and thoughts and what not's (should that be one word?), share with me what's on your mind every now and again. I would appreciate it.

I'm not really sure how this whole (blog) thing goes...so feedback would help a great deal,Lol.

But,nonetheless... WELCOME TO IT *smiles*
