Hi guys! Happy Saturday! Do you like my little dude? I’ve been having a good old play with my Skitch app…..I could spend hours painting little superheroes :-)

Rain rain, go away….and don’t blummin come back!

Howdy folks! What an orrible day it is! This morning, Phil and I headed over to the North Yorkshire Moors to have a picnic and do some photography. We felt super happy when we set off, as it was bright and sunny. Alas, an hour after we got to our destination, the rain came a pouring, forcing us back into the car. We did get to see a few cool things though, like a tiny frog, some cool lizards, a couple of rare moths, butterflies and a zillion little grasshoppers! I practiced with Phil’s Nikon D3 camera and had lots of fun shooting the little frog- so cute! I also couldn’t resist doing a bit of yoga/ballet by the river. I’d love to go on a yoga retreat one day :-)
I was really looking forward to taking this little monster out for a run, however, even just looking at the rain is making me feel miserable! As a result, I’m currently snuggled on the sofa with Poppy to keep my feet warm :-) Yeah…..I’d much rather be dry and cosy right now.

"I wanna go for a walk....but it's raining" :-(

On the subject of superfoods, I’ve decided to put together a health post all about their special powers, along with some recipe ideas.
I want to put something together that will be interesting and helpful to readers so if you could answer the following questions, that would be great!
1) What is your favourite superfood?
2) Are there any health concerns that you’d like to know about, in terms of how they can be eased by altering your diet?

During my time at university, I studied a lot about medicine, health and nutrition so I would be so happy to discuss these things. From diabetes to chronic fatigue, from hormonal imbalances to depression, just let me know! :-)

Lots of hugs!!
Emm xoxo

  1. I love chia seeds – in oats, puddings, smoothies. They seem like a great non-dairy alternative for a great source of calcium.

    Also, I’m wondering if there are any (long term or short term) negative effects of eating too much beta carotene? I eat A LOT of carrots and beets, and i’ve noticed my palms turn slightly orange, wondering if this may be the cause…

    I’m excited to read all about superfoods anyway, love this stuff!

  2. I love green tea and and blueberies! All the super foods are pretty great though. It’d be so cool if you did posts with them cause i love learning new ways to use them and discovering new foods! And you are such a creative cook so I bet I’d learn a lot :)
    And learning about natural ways to combat depression would be really helpful, as I take meds for it not and am trying to start easing off them!
    I’ve been on a 4 day yoga retreat before and it was One of the most amazing experiences I’ve ever had. I’d never felt so at peace with myself before :)

  3. I love the pictures! You look so graceful in the arabesque on the rock.. I’d be all over the place!
    Some of my favorite superfoods are chia and maca. And of course the more “normal” ones like sweet potatos, broccoli, and bloobs!

  4. I do believe that any healthy food can be considered superfood, there is no need for cathegorization :) I love green tea, apples, oats, nuts, raw cocoa beans…
    Mighty Leaf teas are really awesome. And Yogi teas, they have some pretty impressive flavours :)
