‘Phew’, I had a horrid feeling that Reggie and Bollie were going to win X factor last night but thankfully true talent in the shape of Louisa won through. After a sigh of relief (that the British public hadn’t gone completely mad) I noted that the week before we were cheering the winner of ‘I’m A celebrity’ and that next week it will be the ‘Strictly’ champion. Winners today are soon cast aside for the next glorious ‘famous for 5 minutes’ celebrity.
Is it ‘cos I have recently had a birthday or does celebrity come and go so quickly?
That which what was en vogue, in fashion and cutting edge yesterday is so ‘over’ today. I find it unsettling and prefer to attach my ‘colours’ to that which is proven to do me good, provide ongoing entertainment, support, nourishment and so on. I choose to give my loyalty to those people, local shops, suppliers and service providers who have taken the time and effort to get to know me, and serve me well. Don’t get me wrong I like to see and try new things if I regard them as quality and of substance, not plastic, transient and disposable.
I look at the many long-standing relationships that I have with my DYBO family, (class members, clients, colleagues and suppliers) and start to smile from my heart outwards, as I know you all so well. I enjoy our friendship, rapport, respect and trust, it’s very important to me personally and brings the best out in me professionally too.
We are in our penultimate week of classes in 2015 and what a week; there is something special going on every night this week so read on for how this affects you! (plus a hangover cure!)

Now I don’t condone drinking excessively (of course!) but I’m a realist though, and yes, on a couple of occasions I might have over indulged myself!!!! So here is a tasty recovery drink (hangover cure!) for when you might have partied a little hard!!!!!
INGREDIENTS
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil, to help brain function and balance glucose levels
- 1 cup Greek yogurt, probiotics help digestive balance
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds, also excellent for digestive balance
- 1 small banana, for potassium and to help soothe your stomach
- 1/2 cup frozen spinach or kale, to support the liver and alkalinity
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries, powerful antioxidants
- 1 cup coconut water, to hydrate and restore electrolytes
- Honey and cinnamon to taste, excellent mood elevators
- 2-3 ice cubes (more on the forehead if you wish!)
- Whizz in a blender and serve.
I’m so looking forward to sharing a fun and fabulous festive week
Love ya,
Helen xx
