burn me for the first time

okay well its almost a week until AFRIKABURN. And since this will be my first time going and I don't really know what to expect, I have super mixed feelings cause I don't want to set up these high expectations and then feel disappointed with an experience that would have been amazing had it not been for my expectations. I dont know if this makes sense?

Nevertheless I have been spending some time looking at photos of previous burns and lets just say it's not helping with my zero expectations plan:

Mind Cooked

I don't know about you but these days everybody has an issue with food. I mean yes I do fall under that category being vegetarian and all. But honestly I feel as though people are far more concerned about their weight and diet than in the past. Few of us actually stick to the diets we set for ourselves but we tend to still have endless arguments about which is the latest diet to follow or which foods will boost your metabolism or when was the last time you set foot in the gym.

I think it's fantastic because people should look at their health as being one of the most important aspects of their lives.
I mean in school for example students no longer have say 5 slices of bread instead they will have a healthy salad for lunch.

Food that used to be a form of enjoyment has now, through the lets call it "health conscious movement", become a burden on our psyche. I mean just last week my brother and I were in the grocer and we both felt like a chocolate but because we feel so obliged to be health conscious we searched the whole store for an alternative. We did come across a delicious bar which consisted of dates, raw cocoa and cinnamon but I still crave the pure enjoyment chocolate can bring one.

There are so many theories and beliefs out there about food and your diet that it has become quite a challenge to know what is valid and actually the truth. In that sense I feel sorry for the younger generation as they need to make up their mind on how and what to eat and then come to find that in two years time the research has proven that what they believe may not be the right thing to be doing after all.

Well, all in all I just really hope this "movement" can only have positive effects onto our society.

no more fear

As you know I've recently decided to follow in your lovely footsteps and become a vegetarian but I realised that I never actually told you why or maybe I did and just forgot but now I'm going to tell you again:

It was a scene in a movie where the girl said she doesn't eat meat and when asked why not she replied with the most beautiful answer she said that when an animal is killed it is in fear and that she doesn't want to eat the animals fear, she obviously said it using far better words to explain herself but you get the picture?

I also decided to share with you my favee vegetarian websites:
deliciously ella
milikingalmands
oh she glows
cookie and kate (my absolute)

I hope you enjoy the recipes you find on these websites and hopefully soon we will be living together making our own amazing vegi meals.
