During the summer of last year, we were at a friend’s place for a Vegetarian Meetup party. (I am a member of a Vegetarian Meetup group here and we occasionally meet for a shared dinner and other activities. Although lately, I haven’t really had time for any of the meetups). <\/p>\n

That evening, an exuberant toddler was playing around and was quite literally the centre of attraction; he was so full of life! I instantly became very fond of him. Later, I came to meet his mum who is Heather. I remember being quite literally mesmerized both by her radiating natural look and bubbliness. That night we didn’t actually had any conversation, Heather and I, but I did had a great time playing with her super adorable toddler. He is just the most healthy looking kid I had ever seen, quite pleasantly enjoying his own company. To be honest, I first mistook him for a girl with his long curly hair!<\/p>\n

Boyfriendlovlie was quicker to become friends with Heather’s partner who was also there. So that is how we eventually kept in touch and later I came to know that Heather is actually mostly a raw vegan. Apart from thriving mostly on a raw diet, Heather is actually a Kundali Yoga Teacher qualified in many healing modalities and has over 10 years experience as a Natural Remedies, Health and Beauty Manager while working in the UK for the Natural Products industry. She now lives in Ireland teaching raw recipes, homemade beauty potions, kundalini yoga, also writing and running her online shop www.consciousearthcompany.com<\/a>. She also has a Facebook page<\/a> where she shares her amazing raw concoctions and much more.<\/p>\n

Heather’s natural health and beauty writings are really as much informative as they are enjoyable. I really look forward to them as I am always learning something new and interesting. Here’s a list of my favourite articles from her:
