In focus is a fortnightly, online update on things that the focus team has loved. New places we have discovered, food we’ve enjoyed and events that have made us happy – here’s a glimpse into our lives from the past two weeks.
CLEAN MIXES
If you’re looking for a sweet treat that’s guilt-free you’ll love the Bliss Ball + Clean Treat Mixes from Clean Mixes. With only two other ingredients required – coconut oil and rice malt syrup – they are super easy to make. You literally add the contents of the packet to the wet ingredients and mix. Roll them into balls and voila, you have a healthy lunchbox filler or dessert substitute. You don’t even need to bake them!
The Mixes have no refined sugar, preservatives, artificial colours or flavours and are dairy-free and gluten-free. They can also be used as a base for other raw treats such as this Banoffee Pie.
You’ll find Clean Mixes at most Pak n Save supermarkets, Huckleberry stores and, of course, you can buy them online too.
DEAR BOOBS, EMILY SEARLE
When Emily Searle’s life was turned upside down with a breast cancer diagnosis that involved a year of surgeries and chemotherapy, she took the advice of a psychologist who suggested she write letters to herself on her good days and read them on her bad days. A week before her double mastectomy she was feeling a little sentimental about her breasts and wrote a letter to them. After sharing this concept on social media, the Dear Boobs project was born.
Dear Boobs is a collection of 100 letters and imagery from women all over the world, who have been affected by breast cancer, and offers readers an insight into the significance and impact of their breast surgery and their journey to the ‘new normal’.
Dr Joe Dispenza’s YouTube channel
Dr Joe Dispenza’s work is at the intersection of neuroscience, epigenetics and quantum physics and is driven by the belief that each of us has the potential for unlimited abilities and greatness. He teaches people how to rewire their brains and recondition their bodies to make lasting change. He also helps people to heal themselves of illnesses and chronic conditions and to step outside their physical reality and into the quantum field of infinite possibilities. Complicated, yes, but worth watching.
