Even the simplest of food looks more appetizing when presented prettily on the plate

Even the simplest of food looks more appetizing when presented prettily on the plate.

Portion control is important when making how you eat a lifestyle choice not a diet. 
A smaller portion styled attractively on a small plate will make you feel you've still eaten well and satisfied. 
Parma ham with fresh figs and green pesto ( basil, pine nuts, garlic and olive oil)  dressing and salad leaves.

A Thai Laksa prawn curry

A Thai Laksa prawn curry.

When you fancy comforting warming carb-type food instead try a healthy version that nourishes with the warmth coming from chillies and spices rather than starchy or sugary carbs.

This is a Thai prawn Laksa with broccoli, basil leaves, pal choi, a few rice noodles, big fat juicy prawns in a thick coconut broth flavoured with chillies, and Thai spices including lemongrass, galangal, fish sauce, coriander and a pinch of palm sugar etc.
Yummy. 
Filling, warming and healthy.

A healthy breakfast sets you up for the day

A healthy breakfast sets you up for the day.

Hot water and lemon first. 
Avocado on sourdough toast (complex carbs)
Poached eggs ( protein) 
Watercress ( iron) 
A single Espresso coffee (better with food than on an empty tum as it affects your own natural energy resources)

Wearing colour and having lots of fresh flowers in the home always make you feel more cheerful and that it’s Springtime even if it’s pouring with rain outside

A before and after client makeover transformation

A before and after client makeover transformation. 
The 1st photo is an outfit my client wore regularly from her own wardrobe and the 2nd photo is one of the dresses I found for her to wear for her business events that went from day to evening. 
She is only 5' 1" so proportions in the cut of the dress are all important. She also wanted to dress baggy to hide her curves, but understood the impact of wearing well fitted underwear that enhanced her bodyshape and a dress that worked for her curves.
What do you think?
