We live in extraordinary times. Can you feel it?
I believe we are going through a shift in consciousness and therefore an awakening or an increased awareness of spiritual or higher dimensions of existence beyond our everyday, materialistic concerns.
We are moving towards a more enlightened state of being for humanity - a New Earth. This world is a more harmonious world, a world which is based on love, peace and unity.
We are also going through a shift in values - a spiritual evolution - which we also call ascension or spiritual evolution.
We are going through a collective awakening and for this to happen us as individuals must undergo a personal transformation and spiritual growth.
This collective awakening is necessary for us to bring positive changes on a global scale.
I started my spiritual awakening years ago now and it's not always easy to move through. Please trust me, you can do this though. All is well and there is a plan.....we all came her to play our part,
Just remember to listen to your heart. That is where truth and freedom is. And most of all, let go of the fear. Focus on Love. Love has the answers,
I spend lots of time in nature and around waters. Enjoy the video I made from my last adventure in my paradise.
Sending Love and Light your way.

I keep my skin routine very easy and of course toxic free. One of my favourite things is to make Guasha. Guasha is an age - old technique used by the Ancie Asian, Greek and Egyptian civilisations. I find it makes my skin super soft and it deep cleanses the skin. It opens up the pores so that the skin can breathe.
The best thing it only needs two or three ingredients - Bicarb Soda, Vodka and Lavender or Frankincense Essential Oils (optional).
It only takes a few minutes to make and this is what you need:
- Bicarb Soda (make sure it's aluminum free)
- Cheap triple distilled Vodka
- Lavender or Frankincense Essential Oil
You will need a glass jar with a big enough opening to reach your hand in.
Fill the jar with 80% bicarbonate soda, then fill and saturate with vodka until you reach a level about 1 cm above the bicarb soda. Mix in a few drops Essential Oil. This will make a nice putty-like consistency that can be used as a body scrub. Always make sure to seal the jar after use, as it will evaporate quickly and turn really hard.
When you shower, simply rinse your whole body, turn off the water and add a tablespoon or so of the Guasha mixture onto a loofah or body glove for each of your limbs.
Firmly scrub over your entire body. I even scrub my face, just be gentle on the face at first.
Then get back under the water and completely rinse your skin. Squeaky clean!
Why is this detox so powerful?
Did you know that petrochemicals (in the air and in some toxic skin products) can get into the skin and really block it up, which can results in pimples and irritations?
Using guasha opens the pores of the skin as well as alkalising everything. The Guasha is super cleansing and detoxing and it allows more oxygen to enter and this creates beautiful, youthful skin.
I suggest you do this everyday for the first week and then about 2 - 3 times a week.
