Before our Juice & Water Fast beginβ¦ what do YOU need from it? π±
Before buying your produce or planning your juices, take a moment and ask yourself:
Why am I doing this?
Maybe you want simplicity.
Maybe you've felt scattered and want to come back to yourself.
Maybe you want to practise patience.
Maybe you want to create some space for reflection.
Or maybe you're simply ready for the experience of fasting alongside a supportive community.
Write your intention somewhere you can return to throughout the fast for our first intention setting call. β€οΈ
Then prepare practically:
get your produce
clean your juicer
make some space in your schedule to do less, not more
We're practising being present with ourselves. πΏ
ππΏ If you'd like to experience the fast with us, sign up to The Raw Food Glow Fasting Circle on my website.
I'll see you inside! π₯ππ±

The theme for our upcoming Juice Fast is PATIENCE. π±
We're approaching the final stretch of summer (π π’π) before we enter a new fall season in September.
And patience is what we bring along with us.
Sometimes we're so focused on the body we want, the healing we're waiting for, the money, new raw vegan/fruitarian friends, career, opportunity or change we're calling in that we forget to live inside the season we're already in right now.
During this fast, we'll be practising patience.
Patience with our bodies.
Patience with our healing.
Patience with our circumstances.
Patience with God,
Patience with the things that haven't happened yet.
β€οΈ
We don't need to force the next chapter into existence. Because life happens everyday all around us!
I am willing to let things unfold in their own time. πΏ

π· Over 2 Years Without Alcohol πΏ
Itβs been over two years since I last drank alcohol. And looking back, giving it up wasnβt as straightforward as I expected it to be.
I used to love spirits, wines, cocktails, cheap drinks, free drinks, drinks to make me party hardddd! π
When I was between 22 and 26, I stopped drinking for long periods of time - the longest I went was about 10 months.
I gave up officially in 2023, but a friend convinced me to have "just one" around April, and so that year I drank on at least 5 occasions. And it wasn't drink to drink, it was drink to get druuuunk!
I had my first drink at a party when I was 15, mostly because everyone else was doing it. It was the cool thing to do. It was part of belonging and having fun like everyone else.
And then, as a lot of you guys know, alcohol becomes more and more anchored into our social lives as we get older.
Going to the clubbbbb in your late teens and twenties. π
Family gatherings.
Parties.
Music events.
Celebrations.
Going out for dinner.
Even simply having a drink in the evening to βrelax and unwindβ.
Alcohol can become so normal that you rarely stop to ask yourself: Do I actually want this? Do I want this headache tomorrow? Do I want to be sick because I'm gonna goooo hard? Do I want to stay out/stay up late?
For me, eventually the answer became a stronger no. But I met no several times when I tried to stop in my early 20s.
As I changed my lifestyle as a raw vegan and started paying much more attention to how things made me feel, drinking simply stopped making sense for the person I was becoming. That magical thing about raw veganism is that it does shine a spotlight on the areas you have been compromising yourself, neglecting yourself and even just your mindless behaviour!
And now itβs been more than two years. π±
Woooohooooo!
I haven't been to a club, I don't go to bars or pubs to hang out, I don't go to birthday parties that end late into the night where there's alcohol involved.
So as you can expect, my social circles have completely changed.
Am I feeling better in myself? Hellllll yeyaaah!
I donβt feel like Iβm missing out. If anything, I gained so much more. More space, tranquillity, peace, privacy, simplicity, detachment from the opinions of others.
I have the freedom and AGENCY to go somewhere, have an amazing time, dance, connect with people and be completely myself without needing a drink to get me there. ππΏβ¨
You will never find me with a drink in my hand, forcing conversations like I used to, masking the fact that I don't want to be there but I don't have the courage to just leave. Instead, you'll find me enjoying life elsewhere or sleeping in my bed ππΏ π΄
Have you given up alcohol, or would you like to? And what has your experience been like?
Photos below are between 2019-2022 somewhere being tipsy, drunk or very drunk.
I wonder if I would have really gone to those events if I had to go sober!

π I'm 5/6 weeks into my life as a full fruitarian.
It's really enjoyable so far, and I truly feel like my inner peace has increased sooo much! β¨
I started learning Spanish (self-study) in December with two language books, a few reading websites, sometimes YouTube videos, and I've got a regular language exchange partner from Venezuela who I speak to twice a week online. He's amazingggg! π»πͺ
Naturally, I've been called to go to salsa classes. ππΏ Last night I had my first class, and it was the most nourishing and positive vibe. I was beaming the whole time! Great, warm students, an outstanding teacher, and a chill, positive ambience overall.
I did about seven months' worth of one-to-one classes when I was 19. Soooo young! Twelve years ago. And because of my good dance skills from other classes, I was able to find flow and surrender very easily.
I didn't know salsa is a lesson in femininity and surrender. Because the guy is always leading, and the woman surrenders into her flow of listening. It requires a good leader and a good listener to make the pairing work. π€π«πΏ
Anyways, this is what I've noticed as a fruitarian these last five weeks.
Opportunities and alignment open up just like that... *clicks fingers loudly* β¨π«°πΏ
And one of my favourite things in the worrrrrld is to meet and connect with good people. People who carry the goodness of God!
So tell me why the Universe offers me that every single day?! In new and surprising ways?! π
My life feels so simply yet so rich because of the good people I meet everywhere. In the corner shop, in the gym, in the dance studio, waiting at the traffic lights on my bike. π²
I love this new standard of living and being. And that's one of my motivations to continue with this lifestyle. I love the new experiences that meet me where I am, as I am, each and every day. πΏ
Here are some of the simple, easy meals I've been enjoying this month on my fruitarian journey. πππ₯π
I want to create a new ebook around fruitarianism, so let me know what you need: recipes only, thoughts, reflections and lessons as a fruitarian, fitness as a fruitarain, a 14-day meal plan...?
All suggestions welcome. π

πΏ New on the blog!
Giving up coffee wasn't just about quitting caffeine!
It became a journey of
1. healing my relationship (or obsession) with productivity
2. learning to trust my body again when it comes to sleep, rest and doing less
3. discovering that real energy comes from food: a fruit-based lifestyle!
If you've ever struggled to give up coffee, I hope my story encourages you.
It's been messy as hell but it's good to be on the other side, finally!

Do you still drink coffee as a fruitarian/raw vegan?
