Post Easter Juice Detox

31.03.13

After an Easter Week full of chocolate  I was feeling perhaps slightly guilty ( ahem I ate my eggs early)  so I skyped a girlfriend in L.A. last night who in true Hollywood style said ‘Oh Easter! Yeah I’ll have a couple of mini eggs’    ( A COUPLE OF MINI EGGS?!) Me: Uhhh I need to get back in the game I have so much work to do! ‘Well listen’ she said, ‘I’ve got into the habit of doing a juice day once a week and it makes me feel on top form’, she continued, ‘my concentration is on point my digestive system is rocking. Seriously do it.’ OK I will do it! I said and yesterday gathered 3 recipes together to shove in my blender- full of determination, like I am a woman hear me roar, Im going to drink only juice for a day and kill emails!

Yes it was tricky, a test of willpower, but 3 juices and 4 cups of dandelion/ peppermint tea later and Im ready to go to bed, but also weirdly full of energy! Bright eyes, clear mind! Whilst pretty much everyone I know is doing the 5:2 diet I think I may take this once a week juice day offer…as long as I can have more than A COUPLE of mini eggs on the weekend. Happy Easter everyone! P.S. Readers you can get 15% off JEWELLERY @ MYFLASHTRASH.COM  tonight and tomorrow- enter EASTER at checkout 😉 xxx

The Most Decadent Easter Egg

The Classic Ostrich Easter Egg

I have a secret…I have to admit.. I find it impossible to wait for ‘the occasion’ to eat ‘occasion chocolates’ whether its a cheeky advent calendar door, a valentines caramel heart or in this case a little mini Chocolate easter egg. It happened very spontaneously, exhausted and excited after a long meeting at Google I found myself next to Hotel Du Chocolat in Covent Garden. *Gulp* Of course like Oscar Wilde, I can resist everything but temptation, so in I went and out I came with a dainty little pack of eggs, perfect for a little Wednesday afternoon treat!  Of course what I really wanted was The Classic Ostrich Easter Egg £70 (above) but gluttony is a sin etc. Founded by  Angus Thirlwell ( who I interviewed a few years ago) HDC is alongside Prestat my favourite chocolate company.

Hong Kong is a foodie’s mecca- from dim sum to Japanese, incredible Indian and Vietnamese, there is however one particular thing I always seek out when I come back home- Black Sesame Ice Cream. I’ve been in Hong Kong for a week now for the Jewellery Trade Fair and in between eyeing up new gems and speaking to suppliers, I found time to wonder down to Lane Crawford and for dinner at Dragon I where my sacred Sesame Ice Cream lies. Distressed at the thought of heading back to London with no iced deliciousness for months I had to track down a recipe.
