Hugging, holding hands, massaging, kissing... is it ok to do that in front of children? Is it harmful or beneficial? Where do you draw the line? Even though I personally don't have kids yet, the way that children are raised is a subject that interests me greatly. I have learnt a lot by analysing what
I was catering at a raw food retreat in the South of France this week and one of the guys there asked me, “I tried doing your recipes back home, but it just never seems to taste as good as you make them, what is your secret?" I’m not writing this to brag about
Here are my favourite Tantra quotes “It's time we saw sex as the truly sacred art that it is. A deep meditation, a holy communion and a dance with the force of creation.” ~ Marcus Allen "The body can become a vehicle to that which is beyond body, and sex energy can become a

Companies or chefs who make food try to create the perfect balance between sweet and salty to leave the customer wanting more and more of the product. This is the reason you're addicted
Most people reading this title would probably think “what the hell kind of question is that, obviously couples should sleep together, it’s what you do!” I’m not going to try to convince you otherwise, but just give me a minute to explain why I wrote this post. WHY do you think this is
You probably know me as a “professional traveller”. The girl who goes paragliding off the coast of Bali, or who goes on crazy motorbike adventures in Indian deserts, or someone who dives more per year than watches TV.

I’ll let you in on something personal - I’ve never really dated. From the age of 16 I’ve gone from having one serious relationship after the next, lasting at least 1-5 years each. The first guy called me his girlfriend after about an hour. The second one just naturally flowed into a relationship right

Did the title make you say WHAAT?? Yeah I don’t blame you, I do and see some very odd things in life, and I’m no longer afraid to post about them online. This is quite a personal post, and you totally don’t have to believe me, but I’m writing this in hopes that it
