Match! Matcha! Matcha! I’ve been going on about it non stop for weeks. After randomly going in search of a Matcha Latte in between meetings a few weeks ago I have been hooked. I found a quiet spot just off Carnaby street to sit in the sunshine and try my very first sip. I loved it! Now unfortunately for this new found addiction, I don’t live in trendy London and I don’t think this little town is quite hip enough for green living just yet so I decided to make my own at home, even going as far as buying the stencils to make my froth on top of my latte all pretty, I know I really am that sad. But trendy healthista drink aside, why should you be drinking Matcha? Well if you are a green tea lover like I am then you will be astounded to know that Matcha powder contains almost 140 times more antioxidants than normal Green tea. Aids in burning calories Boosts metabolic rate Naturally detoxifies the body Calming on Mind & Body Jammed packed with vitamin C, selenium, chromium, zinc and magnesium Mood enhancing And those are just some of the reasons you should be drinking this healthy powerhouse. I’ve never been very good with “green things” even as a child I steered clear of green veg, to the point where I was 27 years old when I first tried an avocado. But done right you can make this green powder taste anything but that. Starting with the right Matcha, you want to get yourself good quality powder so that you are fully reaping the benefits of what this drink has to offer and so far my absolute Matcha of choice is Eat Clean Tea which has been stoneground into a delicate but powerful powder […]

Everything feels a little more optimistic as March begins don’t you think? It’s the start of spring in my book Evergreen shortly followed by the spring equinox so there’s ample time to prepare, nest and refresh. The light returns, hello March 🌱
A little indulgence from my comfort of my own home thanks to INCREDIBLE @kmp_skin and @freshbeauty Ad for the launch of the new Lotus Youth Preserve Resurfacing dream serum which is a gentle AHA serum with prickly pear flower extract said to boost radiance and it was so lovely to be treated to a first trial to get a very first impression of the serum thanks to KMP and her magic hands. I’ve literally never had a facial like it!
The plum tree in our garden is always the first blossom to erupt at this time of year narrowly beating the much loved aubretia that grows in abundance through our old garden wall. As soon as is acceptable I’m out with my secateurs ready to fill vases and prickly jars with its delicate confetti like blooms 🌸
