Today I went to the organic markets to shop for the week. Every time I go I find some inspirational produce and today it was the most perfect kale I have ever seen. I blanched it then sautéed it with fresh ginger, chilli and lemon for dinner. I also bought some beautiful rhubarb and stewed it with real vanilla beans and apples.

The whole house smelled like vanilla and it is the smell that makes me think of food, somehow it always makes me hungry. In clinic I burn vanilla soy candles http://www.conscious-candle.com.au/ and it is such a comforting smell for me. I buy all my candles for home from http://www.glasshousefragrances.com/cashmere-blanket-candle.html and Cashmere Blanket is my favourite – it’s a combination of fig, anise and cedar. They burn for over 80 hours and are simply divine.

Today I have started taking shots of aloe Vera and chlorophyll to soothe my digestive system. I have been feeling really bloated and this is so unusual for me. Aloe Vera is cooling and reduces inflammation in the intestines while chlorophyll is an excellent alkaliser and internal cleanser. Hopefully in a few days my digestion will have settled and I will feel clean and light on the inside!
