Raw Hen Party - What lovely friends I have!

I had my hen party last weekend organised by my bridesmaid Jacqui, and it was such a lovely day!

A tea party in the afternoon and then drag queen cabaret and chinese food afterwards.

What was even more lovely is how supportive my friends are of my (aspired) diet and lifestyle choices.

We had a raw chocolate mousse cake by Charlie's Raw Treats, as well as her brownies, figgy bites, lemon pockets and almond cookies. Blanka of Gracefully Raw made raw crackers and the most amazing lemon coconut macaroons! My writer friend John Tyson of Be Free, even made a raw chocolate mud cake (he's not even raw - he googled it - how sweet!). Karen Knowler told me that champagne is raw too and I had a LOT of that!

Of course there were lots of other non - raw goodies and I ate them all - gorgeous muffins, meringue (my favourite!), cute little sandwiches, gorgeous potato salad! Washed down with pimms of course!

Thanks my lovely friends! More photos on my facebook page - I'm laughing hysterically in all of them!

The most delicious raw cakes, chocolate and treats EVER!!!

I've never really had a sweet tooth. Regular readers will know that it's savoury crisps and things that get me, but I discovered raw chocolate, raw desserts and other things - and I'm a bit of a convert.

When I did the Karen Knowler Raw Online Business training recently, I was lucky enough to have some wonderful women in my group. Lisa Simpson of Raw Liberty (more about her in a future post), and Charlie Lagoa who runs Charlie's Raw Treats. 

Charlie handmakes a range of gorgeous raw cakes, and other treats that are unbelievably, made without dairy, wheat, or refined sugar. During the training, we heard all about the ingredients she uses, and trust me - it's a seriously quality product, with only the best stuff in it and handmade with love. 

I tried her raw chocolate brownie, and it was sooooo good. Also, her lemon cheesecake is so amazing that we're going to order one for the vegans at our wedding to have instead of the traditional lemon tart.

She just launched some raw snack packs too, which look lovely, and great if you need some raw snacks handy for work or at home. Particulary for me, I need something mid afternoon otherwise I prowl around the vending machines!

Check her out - she's going to be huge in the world of raw food, and you can say you heard of her first! And, not I'm not an affiliate, just a huge fan! www.charliesrawtreats.co.uk

Getting married?

I'm so excited about my new project!! I've been working on it for a couple of months, and even though all the details aren't worked out exactly - I really want to share it with my Green Queen readers.

So, introducing....... 

Raw Brides is a site for women who are engaged and worrying about losing weight and wearing the wedding dress of their dreams. We all know that raw food is the easiest, best and most natural diet on the planet, so I want the opportunity to share that information with other women!

Every bride wants to look special for her big day, but the wedding only represents the start of a journey into a "happily ever after". No matter how great your relationship and other parts of your life, it can really feel like you are missing a piece of the puzzle if you don't look and feel how you imagine your greatest self to be. You want to go into your new life with the confidence and inner beauty that true health can bring.

People think that the motivation for the wedding is enough in itself, but sometimes the pressure to "get skinny" for a big event can backfire, and cause some women to go the other way and put on weight. For a bride, that can be devastating. I was off track for a bit with raw, and I was seriously worried that I would end up BIGGER than I was before!

I've definitely had success over the past year going raw, so I'm taking all my challenges, successes and failures and creating resources, coaching programmes and ebooks for women to help them create the wedding dress body of their dreams for every day of their lives.

So, please check out my new baby, and let me know if anything isn't working, or if you have any suggestions on how to make it even better! I'd appreciate feedback direct to denise@rawbrides.com rather than in the comments section.

Thanks!
