Flu Remedies
Posted on June 7, 2010 in Misfits.
Yes, I am sick in bed with flu, and highly frustrated. I hate being sick. But sometimes it’s just what your body actually needs to recover. Recover from what you ask? Well from the hectic lives we live, from being extremely busy, from lack of sleep, from whatever may be going on in our lives.
Being sick is the perfect time to catch up on some reading, and cuddle in bed all day with my dog and cat (Matt is keeping his distance as he too has just recovered from the flu). So as soon as I started getting sick I got given a home remedy from a client that I thought sounded way too good to not try.
Ginger, freshly squeezed lemon, raw honey and water. All boiled up together to make the perfect hot toddy. I have to admit it is really yummy and so I have been drinking this every night before bed. It hasn’t seemed to work though as I still became sick and am now actually on antibiotics to prevent myself from becoming more of a moaner. Even though the ginger remedy didn’t work, it tastes really good and can only be healthy so I’m keeping up the nightly toddy – it’s so relaxing.
This is not all that has been added to my nightly routine. I have also started steaming my face – every night. It is so relaxing and you feel so clean and fresh after doing this.
I then get into my nice warm bed, with newly purchased electric blanket, and read a good book, drink my home remedy ginger juice and eat some yummy chocolate.
Despite all the disgusting tissues, the time off and the fact that I am forced to stay in bed is doing me some good. Other than the fact that I feel rotten and am sore and constantly tired I think this is the rest my body truly needs.
Truffles Truffles Truffles

Like most woman I have a soft spot for chocolate. Not just any chocolate though, I like the good stuff! Mainly dark chocolate. My aunt got back from visiting the family in Spain and brought us some, oh-so-lovely, TRUFFLES. The real deal!
I really don’t want to share them. If there is one thing that can turn me nasty it’s this – I want them all to myself.
Pure Heaven
We don’t get stuff this good in South Africa, do we? Please if we do tell me because I can’t find it!
Latest Book
Posted on June 22, 2008 in Pen on paper.
I have decided to blog about the latest books that I am reading.
At the moment I am reading “The Chocolate Run” by Dorothy Koomson. It is wonderfully written and draws the reader into the lives of Amber Salpone, her bestfriend Jen, and her friend Greg Walterson (who is a complete womaniser).
This is a witty read and if you love chocolate it is one that will touch your taste-paleted heart.
This is the first novel I am reading by Dorothy Koomson and it is wonderful. It sometimes takes me a while to get into a book but I was hooked on this one from the first page. If her other books are this good i will have to give them a try.
Visit Dorothy Koomson’s site here to read more about her and this lovely book.
