Your Gold
Where do you keep your gold? I keep my gold growing in my garden and in my heart where thieves and fools can’t see it, much less ever think to look for it. Not that I wouldn’t share, of course!
Unlike money, gold grows on trees, underfoot, spills out from the sun on your head and onto your skin in vibrant, sparkly rays, and it glows undeniably wherever there is genuine kindness. I can’t see, feel or breathe anything but gold. I must live at the end of the rainbow. But then where are all those fabled tiny green men in buckled hats and bow-ties? I do see people though, lots and lots of beautiful people– who don’t seem to realize that they are radiating gold.

Another Take on Fast Food
Cherry tomatoes, spring onions, fresh, chopped garlic, lemon squeeze & touch of stevia.
Pure freshness! Tomato heaven!

Rethink Fast Food
Fast food? The fastest! Baby spinach, hot water, bit of chèvre. Touch of stevia, if you like (I do!).
Done! Just add carrots!

My Big Bedtime Tip #2
Yesterday I told you how I keep essential oil of cinnamon bark & essential oil of peppermint at my bedside & bathroom so if I wake up in the night I can put a tiny drop on my tongue, thereby enhancing my oral hygiene throughout the night. My next bedtime tip? Vitamin E!
Vitamin E
This little capsule of Vitamin E? It’s the best night cream of all time. Yes, it’s a bit thick, but it won’t clog your pores and it will deeply nourish & hydrate your skin while you sleep. I use a whole one every night on clean skin and over my neck & décolletage. Forget pricy night creams. This is the best. I use Solgar’s 1000 IU capsules. Don’t let anyone convince you to get the VE liquid. It doesn’t compare. Wake up looking naturally ravishingly, with happy skin!

My Big #1 Bedtime Tip
I keep essential oil of cinnamon bark & essential oil of peppermint at my bedside & bathroom so if I wake up in the night I can put a tiny drop on my tongue, thereby enhancing my oral hygiene throughout the night. Also a super trick for having superb breath upon rising! Keep it close by for close encounters.
Cinnamon Bark and Peppermint
These two essential oils are ideal for internal use. The way I use them is- I literally place my tongue to the top of the vial because any more than a tiny bit is toooooo much. Quantity of application is critical. Cinnamon bark is intensely heating, while all the mints are intensely cooling. They are both great all day & anytime (particularly good mid-training too).
The nighttime dosing is a highly sophisticated way of keeping the oral cavity and digestive tract pathogen free, fresh & hygienic over night while most people’s oral cavities are expunging muck with no defense!

Tomorrow: Bedtime Tip #2!

Systematic Under-Eating
It’s important to appreciate that even by decreasing your intake of food by even just 20% over the course of just 2 or 3 days, your body/system will respond in markedly favorable ways!
You don’t have to fast or go hard core green/raw/vegan to get things shifting in the right direction. The body is so responsive – so just stop over-eating, for starters. ‘Systematic under-eating’ is a brilliant approach and not at all what it sounds like. I realize the term conjures up starvation and deprivation. But in actuality it’s simply a matter of not over-eating. Most people eat at least 20% more at each meal than the body can reasonably be expected to process.
Easier than Fasting
Of course, ideally, the body doesn’t like substances that are not high-water-content-plant-based. But for whatever reason, you may not be there yet. Don’t make it an all or nothing proposition. A few days of ‘systematic under-eating’ is a whole lot easier than fasting and make no mistake, it will help hugely. The decreased burden of digestion and lessened fermentation will result in a significantly decreased inflammation which will show up as a tightening everywhere (because tightening/contraction/restoration to integrity is happening inside, in the organs & tissues)!
Every little bit counts. Decrease the burden = see the results!
Release the Body’s Overload
The body reflects everything right back to you each morning based on the day before. The decreased demand will allow your organs to contract to a more normal state and not be in a hyper-attentive state of stress overload.
Achieve your Goals
You’ll look & feel so much better just by ‘systematic under-eating’ for a few days. Then, you’ll be more likely to take another step and then another because you’ll be riding the wave. The feelings that come from the small improvements will carry you all the way to the sunny shores of the physique and vitality of your dreams in time!
Try it & you’ll see!
In loving service,
Natalia
