If the High Priestess comes up in a reading - I know that the person in front of me is highly intuitive.They have a very keen sense (a sixth sense) of energies around them, which is reflected back to them as having strong gut reactions about people and situations around them. To develop this skill more they need to trust these instincts - which we are all born with - just some people have developed them more than others. Does this happen to you? Does it freak you out or has it got you away from danger in the past? I'd love to hear of your experiences.Mx
Introducing #Superstitious Saturdays where I will be giving insights into all those well known superstitions and their origins like the magpie sighting/knocking on wood/lucky horse shoe and more.
What superstitions do you use and Ill see if I can find the origin.It is very interesting. Mx

Introducing Supersition Saturday. Every Saturday I will be posting about the myths and facts on popular Supersition . Are there any you frequently use or hear? Like the number of Magpies, or black cats or touching wood. These all come from an ancestral origin - but how much they original stories and sayings have changed may suprise you somewhat. However it's always an interest of mine to find out why we say them - if you also share this interest or are just mildly amused to find out the origins, please add a comment of the ones you use or hear most.

My favourite #strawberryrecipe - please tell me yours x
#EtonMessRecipe -
WARNING!! This dish its very moreish and light so you may NOT notice that you have eaten the whole bowl to yourself until its too late - yes I HAVE been there!!
Eton Mess is an all-time classic British dessert and an Eton Mess recipe must be included in any list of strawberry recipes. The dish was traditionally served at Eton College but how it came to have the name is not clear. One story is a Labrador dog sat on a picnic basket in the back of a car and squashed a strawberry and meringue dessert. It was thought the "mess" was really, rather delicious and the name stuck. Even if this is not true, it is a sweet story.
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Serves 4
Ingredients:
300 ml / 10 ½ fl oz whipping cream
1 tbsp caster / fine sugar
100g / 3 ½ oz ready-made meringue
450g / 1 lb fresh strawberries
1 tbsp icing / confectioners sugar
Preparation:
Method
Place the whipping cream in a large mixing bowl, add the sugar and whip with an electric whisk until the cream is light and fluffy. Do not over whip - the success of the dish requires softly whipped cream. The peaks should stand up with the tips gently falling over for the correct consistency.
Break the meringue into large bite-size chucks and gently stir into the cream. Don't worry if some of the meringue crumbles just add this too; it will melt into the cream (yum).
Place half of the strawberries into another large mixing bowl and press gently with the back of a fork to break up the strawberries slightly and release some of the juice. Do not be too heavy handed with the squashing, you do not want a puree. Stir the strawberries gently into the cream.
Halve, then quarter the remaining strawberries.
Place the cream mixture into a 18 cm /7" trifle or glass serving dish, top with the strawberry pieces, chill for 30 minutes in the refrigerator and sprinkle with the icing / confectioners sugar before serving. Alternately serve in individual size dessert bowl or glasses. With this dessert there is little need to serve anything else alongside, it is delicious as it is.
Eton Mess should be eaten on the day it is made, if it is stored the meringues start to go soft fairly quickly.

#Mondays Health Kick Bite - #Strawberries
We love Strawberries in our house -especially with cream during #Wimbledonor in Eton Mess (see recipe on next staus) so I was pleased to read these facts below.
Strawberries are rich in the essential nutrients vitamin C, potassium, folic acid and fiber. One cup of fresh strawberries contains 160% of your daily needs for vitamin C, for only 50 calories!1
Nutrition Facts
Serving Size: 1 cup sliced fresh strawberries (166 grams)
Protein: 1 gram
Carbohydrates: 11.65 grams
Dietary Fiber: 3.81 grams
Calcium: 23.24 mg
Iron: 0.63 mg
Magnesium: 16.60 mg
Phosphorus: 31.54 mg
Potassium: 44.82 mg
Selenium: 1.16 mg
Vitamin C: 94.12 mg
Folate: 29.38 mg
Vitamin A: 44.82 IU
This nutritional powerhouse also contain the mighty antioxidants anthocyanins, ellagic acid, quercetin and kaempferol, which all have been shown to have protective effects against certain types of cancer.
Possible health benefits of consuming strawberries
The benefits of consuming fruits and vegetables of all kinds, including strawberries, are infinite. As plant food consumption goes up, the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and cancer goes down.
High fruit and vegetable intake is also associated with healthy skin and hair, increased energy, and lower weight. Increasing consumption of fruits and vegetables significantly decreases the risk of obesity and overall mortality.
Heart Disease - :
Regular consumption of anthocyanins, a class of flavonoids found in berries, can reduce the risk of a heart attack by 32% in young and middle-aged women, according to lead study author Aedin Cassidy, PhD, MSc, BSc, a nutrition at the Norwich Medical School in the United Kingdom. Women who consumed at least 3 servings of strawberries or blueberries per week fared best in the Harvard study.
The high polyphenol content in strawberries may also reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) by preventing platelet build-up and reducing blood pressure via anti-inflammatory mechanisms.
Other studies have shown that eating strawberries helps to lower homocysteine levels, an amino acid in the blood associated with damaging the inner lining of arteries.
The fiber and potassium in strawberries also support heart health. In one study, participants who consumed 4069 mg of potassium per day had a 49% lower risk of death from ischemic heart disease compared with those who consumed less potassium (about 1000 mg per day).
Stroke - :
The antioxidants quercetin, kaempferol, and anthocyanins have all been shown to reduce the formation of harmful blood clots associated with strokes. High potassium intakes have also been linked with a reduced risk of stroke.
Cancer - :
As mentioned above, strawberries contain powerful antioxidants that work against free radicals, inhibiting tumor growth and decreasing inflammation in the body
Blood Pressure -
Due to their high potassium content, strawberries are recommended to those with high blood pressure to help negate the effects of sodium in the body. A low potassium intake is just as big of a risk factor in developing high blood pressure as a high sodium intake
Constipation - :
Eating foods that are high in water content and fiber like strawberries, grapes, watermelon and cantaloupe can help to keep you hydrated and your bowel movements regular. Fiber is essential for minimizing constipation and adding bulk to the stool.
Allergies and Asthma -
Because of the anti-inflammatory effects of quercetin, consuming strawberries may help to alleviate symptoms of allergies including runny nose, watery eyes and hives, although there have been no human studies done to prove this theory.6 Several studies have shown that the incidence of asthma is lower with a high intake of certain nutrients, vitamin C being at the top of the list.
Diabetes: -
Strawberries are a low glycemic index food and high in fiber, which helps to regulate blood sugar and keep it stable by avoiding extreme highs and lows. Strawberries are a smart fruit choice for diabetics, as they have a lower glycemic index (40) than many other fruits do.
Researchers have recently discovered that eating about 37 strawberries a day can significantly reduce diabetic complications such as kidney disease and neuropathy. The study showed that fisetin, a flavonoid contained in abundance in strawberries, promoted survival of neurons grown in culture and enhanced memory in healthy mice, along with prevention of both kidney and brain complications in diabetic mice.
Pregnancy - :
Adequate folic acid intake is essential for pregnant women to protect against neural tube defects in infants.
Depression: -
Folate may also help with depression by preventing an excess of homocysteine from forming in the body, which can prevent blood and other nutrients from reaching the brain. Excess homocysteine interferes with the production of the feel-good hormones serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine, which regulate not only mood, but sleep and appetite as well.

Introducing MONDAY HEALTH KICK BITE. If you like this please press like or comment -if you don't Il stop writing about it - simple.x
Every Monday I will be giving information on natural foods and how they can help with your and your families health. I've decided to eat better myself and so, I started researching which foods are best for me and how they affect my body and mind. Then I thought "Hey, if I find this information interesting and useful then perhaps you guys may also enjoy it".
So here's my first Monday BITE.
Keep Hormones in Harmony
If you suffer from those monthly issues such as painful heavy periods, bad mood swings or skin break outs - try eating every three hours to balance blood sugar to help with hormone and mood balancing. says nutritionist Dr Marilyn Greenville. Regulating blood sugars will also enhance concentration. Eating low fat protein such as chicken, eggs, tofu and fish along with slow releasing carbs like wholegrain pastas and rice, with dark green leafy salads. The leafy green salad will boost your magnesium levels which is good for your nervous system and hormones.
Any recipes for us all to try- which will make this combination yummy - will be gladly accepted and tried.
