Go Blue! - Slim down and eat better

People that know me, know I'm obsessed with finding just the right size, colour, even what it is made of, whether it's a bowl, plate, chopsticks, you name it.

And I knew there was a good reason behind my obsession, among other things, but here is just one good reason to Go Blue:
Ever wonder why fast food restaurants are painted red? It's a stimulating colour that encourages you to eat more, so it's recommended to eat on blue plates instead. Blue is a soothing hue that helps you slow down. And try to use a smaller than normal dinner size plate too -yah normal dinner plate is MASSIVE!.

So now another mission begins, to not only find the right size but also to be BLUE! this could take some time, and this is often when my inspiration begins, to create my own, - does it ever stop!

So, be kind and do one thing today that makes you happy. Stress is related to 99% of all illness!

A must watch - Herb & Dorothy

So a few weeks back now I met this really nice couple, and they recommended this must watch film that I just have to get out. - When they said the name 'Herb & Dorothy', I did have my doubts, bare in mind this was the recommendations of a much older couple than me, but I thought, hey If I don't check it out then I'd never know. After all we are the judge of our own thoughts. And surprisingly I really enjoyed it. This eccentric couple essentially lived on one income - Dorothy's, and Herb's wages were put aside for purchasing and ultimately befriending the works of unknown artists. It makes me actually want to start collecting art, hmmmm which shall be my first piece.....

I'm not gonna give too much a way, but it is a really inspiring beautiful movie and I think it's one of those movies to keep on the shelf, which does remind me I must put an order in for one.

Vitamin D - Go out in that Sun and get some now

Go out and get some Vitamin D - from the sun right now, it is so important to get a daily dose of this, try to get anywhere from 10-20mins at least twice a week without sunscreen - so ideally this is best done early in the morning.

Vitamin D deficiency could be a cause for SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) - and can result to a number of health problems  (see below), so it makes sense if all we need to do is get outside, why wouldn't we!
Symptoms of SAD

• Depression
• Sleep Problems
• Lethargy
• Over Eating
• Loss of Concentration
• Social Problems
• Anxiety
• Loss of Libido
• Mood Changes

Vitamin D is also found in oily fish like tuna and salmon as well as in fortified foods like milk and breakfast cereals.

It's important to get some exposure of sun to your skin on a regular basis, it contributes to so many health benefits, when you're out in the sun you immeditatley get a feel good vibe!
