CHOCOLATES CHOCOLATES CHOCOLATES

This is raw, vegan, healthy and delicious chocolate! Learn to make the base and then play to create unique indulgences of your own.

Healthy decadence at its best!!

My favourites right now are;

• adding cayenne pepper to make a spicy chili chocolate
• adding shredded coconut to make macaroons
• adding bee pollen to make a chocolate with a nice crunch
• making almond butter cups

I almost always use heart shape molds and, what's more perfect than that during this week?

This easy recipe only has 6 ingredients and is so quick and easy to prepare!

There is no better nor faster way to instantly transport you to a state of BLISS!!

Create this bath, immerse and enjoy!! Enjoy with your beloved or on your own - it's all good!!

Ingredients;

• tub full of hot water
• 1 cup epsom salts (great to release tight sore muscles)
• 1 cup baking soda (perfect to cleanse and soften the skin)
• 10 drops ylang ylang essential oil (a romantic and soothing scent)
• 10 drops lavender essential oil (calms the central nervous system)
• handful of rose petals (tonifies the skin and releases a calming yet uplifting aroma)
• handful of lavender flowers (releases a calming soothing scent)
• a few candles
• a tall glass of hibiscus juice or good quality water

Fill your tub and add all the ingredients. Light a few candles to give the room a beautiful soft glow and keep a tall cool glass of luscious red hibiscus juice (or water) near the tub to keep you hydrated while you soak.

Immerse yourself, close your eyes and deeply breathe in the aroma surrounding you. The essence from the oils and flowers are calming and soothing to the system and will help transport you instantly to that place of wonderful bliss.

ENJOY!!!

In keeping with the theme of this newsletter I wanted to choose a heart opening movie.

After soaking in your rejuvenating bath this is the perfect movie to enjoy while nibbling on your home-made chocolates.

This movie is truly spectacular!! It is shot in 24 countries on 6 continents.

The word Baraka means Blessing.

This film is a collection of incredible images set to glorious music that depicts the human condition like you have never seen before.

The world, our place in it and our deep connection to one another is summed up in 104 stunning, awe-inspiring visual and audio minutes.

This is a film that I highly recommend being a part of anyone's collection!
