The Raw Food Glow

26 months ago I stopped eating cooked and processed foods!

I only eat raw plants: fruits, veg, nuts, and seeds. 🌱🥑🍒🥜

I don’t drink alcohol either. Homemade juices, water, and tea, with the occasional oat flat white!

💯 The best decision of my life. 💯


Here are 10 lessons I learned from 26 months of raw veganism ⤵️



1️⃣ All nutrients —> protein, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients come from the EARTH & the SUN. When we eat plants in their natural form, we’ll never be deficient.

That’s just propaganda to get us to buy more of what misinformation/not doing our research tells us we need.



2️⃣ Protein powders, shakes, bars etc are a scam.

What are all the strongest animals in the world eating? 100% plants. 🐘🦍🐄🦒🦌🐒🦏🐐🐎🦓🦘🐂🐪🦧🐃

Ask yourself, are you scared of being protein deficient?



3️⃣ Health is free.

Talking to people, sunshine, walking, running, whining on someone’s son, handstand/headstand practice, yoga, kindness, water, sleep, laughter, a nap, time in nature, avoiding gossip, choosing yourself, saying yes, saying thank you, counting your blessings, looking at the birds.

Total cost: £0!



4️⃣ The violence we see in the world (greed, war, oppression, injustice, systemic corruption) mirrors the violence we allow towards animals in factory farms.

Compassion starts on our plates, with the energy that we feed our bodies!



5️⃣ Life goes on. This too shall pass. The sun will set & rise another day. The Earth will continue to spin. And all things will set and rise again. Let it all go!



6️⃣ Mother Nature is everything.



7️⃣ When we fuel ourselves in the right way, what follows is peace, health, alignment, easy manifesting, connection, and inner harmony!



8️⃣ Some people are addicted to staying the same. That’s okay 👌🏿

Focus on your plate, your health, your flourishment, your healing, your enjoyment and all shall be well!



9️⃣ You don’t need deodorant. I stopped wearing deodorant in 2024. Eating clean, water-rich plants makes you smell fresh (and taste even sweeter 😋😜)



🔟 No road is ever lonely if you walk with the light of a Higher Power guiding your way! ✨

The Raw Food Glow

Last week was a busy one:

1. lots of travel 🚆
2. two new cities 🏙️ 
3. several performances 🎭
4. hotel living 🏨
5. and long hours overall ⏳ 

so I decided to eat mostly fruit! And that’s the beauty of fruit: nothing to prepare, nothing to season. 

Just peel, wash, and enjoy. I ate until I was full, and that was it. Totally intuitive!✨

My fasting window wasn’t as strict as usual, and that was the right choice for me all week long.

However, I didn’t eat past 7pm, except when the cast and crew went out for dinner on Thursday night 🍽️🤍

And I still managed to hit the gym 4 times, plus 2.5 hours of dance classes on Monday 💪🏿 💃🏿 fuelled by 90% fruit!

The week was a reminder that life works best when we adapt with grace, lightness, and flexibility 🌱

Honestly, I had the besssssst week of work with the most amazing creatives ✨ And more beautiful experiences are landing as we speak!

My raw lifestyle supported me every step of the way because I stayed flexible and celebrated the moments whens I was able to adapt and detach from the old way of doing things. 

This helped me stay on track with ease! 🤍

This week, I’ll be sticking to a higher-than-usual fruit intake (around 80% fruit) because I felt so wonderful last week and I loved the simplicity and convenience of eating this way 🍌🥭✨

Who else is loving fruit more and more this month? 🍍

Honestly raw veganism is the gift that keeps on giving!

Photos: 
1. Workout on Saturday morning in Manchester
2. cacao, blueberry, dates and mango smoothie bowl with toppings (banana, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, goji berries, sultanas)
3. Payapa snack on Wednesday - yes, I ate all the seeds too
4. 1/2 pineapple on Monday
5. Sunday night upper body and core session back in London

Morning y’all! ☀️✨

I was meditating this morning and it really set me up to feel good. I feel wonderful. I feel healthy. I feel active, and we haven’t even reached 6am yet! 🙌🏿💛

So this morning, I wanted to remind you to prioritise feeling good and your joy 🌸

When we are joyful, we are expansive - our hands are open 🤲🏿 and we can truly celebrate life in all its forms 🌍

Without joy, we become contracted, pessimistic, and opportunities pass us by. Not because they don’t come… but because we’re not open to them 🚪

So I ask you:
✨ How can you create joy first thing in the morning?
✨ What practices help you welcome feeling good?
✨ What might you need to remove or stop doing that interferes with your joy in the mornings?

Joy givers look like: meditating, affirmations, prayer, listening to uplifting music, gratitude, going for a morning walk.

What else can you think of?

I talk about joy a lot because it is a high vibration 🌈 and it represents a higher level of consciousness. 
If we want to improve the world, our circle, and our own lives, we do it from this elevated state.
That’s where the real magic happens ✨💫

Happy New Year everyone 🥰🥳❤️

Today I mark 2 years of raw veganism. Woohooo!

It’s been an adventure and raw veganism has magnified my life in so many ways.

Gratitude
Humility
Detachment
Compassion
Guidance
Consciousness
Healing
Nature
Letting Go
Self Love
Self Encouragement
Learning
Alignment
Abundance

It’s been a personal journey so there’s really nothing to prove or demonstrate.

On the world stage or on a one woman private island, my lifestyle would pretty much be the same:
dancing and moving my waistline, eating freshly picked fruit, talking to the Universe, headstand practice, learning some new language, and spending time in the sunshine! ☀️

If you’re thinking about transitioning to raw veganism or wanting try out bits of raw veganism, ain’t no time like the start of a new year to switch up your diet and invest in you.

I’ve got some recipes on my website and more in my ebook: www.therawfoodglow.com

Whatever you decide to do in 2026, I only encourage you to be kind to yourself and cheer yourself on every single day!


May this be the year you glow your brightest on your divine path!

❤️🌟🌱🥳🌍🥰🩵🔆🌴🍃

‼️ We are coming up to the end of the year, so I just wanted to share some positive, reflective thoughts ✨

Typically, we use this time to think about what we want to do or achieve in the next year.

And to be honest, that’s what I aaaaalwayssssss did: 
What do I want to achieve in the new year? 
What are my goals and New Year’s resolutions?

But this year, I am playing by a new set of rules. 

This year, I want to use the last week and a bit of the year to simply celebrate myself and give thanks for life 🤍✨

🌿 No looking forward, but smiling at what is NOW

🌸 So I invite you guys too to take some of the focus away from planning and organising the future to enjoying the present and your journey to today!



🌟Let’s shower ourselves with love and kindness

💕 Let’s celebrate and not criticise ourselves during this holiday period 

✨Let’s try to do less, not more, as the year comes to a close 

🌙Let’s share three things we are happy about this year



1. I am grateful for the new attitude I’ve developed about celebrating myself. I have been very kind to myself over the last couple of months, and it feels wonderful 💖 Life feels more simple, less complicated, and more enjoyable.


2. I am equally grateful for the kind people who have entered my life and crossed my path 🤍 
They have brought interesting conversations and open hearts. I learned about their culture, background, attitude, and way of life, and it’s helped me to see the world through new eyes 🌍✨

3. I am soooo happy that this year I committed to dance classes 💃🏿 I lovvvvveeee dancing, and it was always so rewarding to come to class and shake my behind! I love the women I’ve met and the connections I’ve made. Coming to class gives me so much joy because I just feel light and playful ✨🩷

⛔️⚠️I always see electrolytes as SUCH A SCAM! ‼️

Do people know what electrolytes are?
Why do they think they need them?
Because of influencers, online ads and social media? And do they know that what they’re seeking is already abundantly available in plant foods?

A lack of knowledge and research makes us prey to a multi-million-dollar industry that seeks to take our money, our health, and our power! 👎🏿⛔️🙅🏿‍♀️🚫

I went to the pharmacy the other day to collect some meds for my dad, who had issues with diarrhoea.

The pharmacist suggested I buy electrolytes for him too and I said:
“Well, he could just have some coconut water, water with a dash of salt, a banana, or any other fruit.”

They responded: “Well, these electrolytes have been specifically formulated to contain the right amount of electrolytes that he needs.”

They meant well, for sure, but this kind of information is what confuses and disempowers the public.


🌱Mother Nature did that already.

🌍 Mother Nature did the work so we don’t have to.

🌴Why can’t we just sit back and appreciate her creation? Eat the fruit, enjoy the plants, and get on with healthy living?

Here’s the simple summary so that you will never be deceived again by the electrolyte scam!

Electrolytes are simply charged minerals.

They dissolve in water, so they carry a positive charge.

The major electrolytes are: potassium, magnesium, calcium, sodium, and phosphorus.

And because we are electrical beings, we need these positively charged minerals to:
• keep fluid balance
• contract muscles
• transmit nerve signals
• maintain heart rhythm

But here is where the trickery begins.

Raw food is already PACKED (OVERFLOWING!!!!!!) with electrolytes (minerals in water!).

Plants are nutrient-dense and already loaded with structured water as well!

Some common examples:
• Bananas, raw plantain → potassium
• Coconut water → a complete natural electrolyte drink
• Leafy greens, nuts & seeds → magnesium, phosphorus, calcium
• Watermelon, melon & pineapple → potassium + deep hydration
• Sprouts → potassium, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus
• Carrots & sweet potatoes → potassium, magnesium

And all plants contain sodium!

Your body absorbs these way better than any powdered replacement because they come Mother-Nature-packaged to divine perfection with water, fibre, and enzymes.

🙌🏿🌍🌱❤️😻


They’re fast-digesting and LIGHT 🌟 on your system, meaning you’ll feel satiated and energised after eating any raw meal!

And the healthy benefits go wayyyyy beyond what I just said above, as y’all have already experienced!!!

You’ll notice that as you continue thriving on your health journey, the marketing doesn’t impact you because true health and alignment can’t be purchased.

The gateway is called SURRENDER and ACCEPTANCE.

This week, let’s trust that Mother Nature has done the work (so we don’t have to) and the Divine is always working in our favour. ❤️😻❤️

Happy week y’all! 💛✨

The Raw Food Glow

‼️ In the past couple of months, I’ve been called to detach more and more from my devices, technology, and social media ‼️

I didn’t post many reels last week because I’ve been exploring what it feels like to truly reduce my screen time.

I started switching my phone off at night and leaving it downstairs. The next morning, I wouldn’t turn it on until after my full morning routine… and some days, not until after my midday workout. 🤸🏿‍♀️

Last Sunday, my phone was off the entire day. 📵

This shift actually began long before that, in small, intentional ways:

1. I stopped eating while listening to podcasts or videos. If anyone plays something during a meal, I simply move to a quiet space. I want my meals to be silent, present, and sacred.

2. I stopped using wireless headphones. I realised I was cutting myself off from the world — always consuming, never present. Now, when I walk or train, I’m here, not somewhere else in my head.

3. I stopped using my phone on Sundays. A true day of rest. No distractions, no consumer noise, no mental clutter.

4. I blocked access to most apps after 8pm. Evenings are for peace, softness, and preparing my spirit for the next day. (Except dance days when I film my routine!)


Implementing these boundaries has been challenging — but I am absolutely committed to making them permanent. 💪🏿

I share this because I feel so much LIBERATION, DISCIPLINE & LIGHTNESS from it.

I honestly couldn’t care less about the latest gossip, memes, trends or ads.

There’s no reel, video, or product more important than my focus and my peace.

My attention belongs to me — it is not for sale.

I don’t care about escaping my reality.

I want to face everything inside and outside of me with awareness, strength, and courage.

AND GUESS WHAT: I have been attracting people who either don't use social media at all or barely use their phone becaue they're life is so full without it!! 

It's wonderful how alignment steps into your life and leads the way!!! These new friends are my inspiration to keep going and I respect them so much!

I know not everyone feels called in this direction, and that’s completely fine.

But I’m curious…
Is anyone else feeling this shift too? Can you relate?
