The Sunday hangover remedy

Like most people Sunday usually means the same thing:
a.) A big breakfast - always involving eggs
b.) The Sunday papers
c.) Roast dinner or something involving a chunk of meat

After buying an armful of Sunday papers, I make a pot of  tea (earl grey or if I have a chronic hangover PG) and spend the morning milling over the news.
Which usually turns into me gazing lovingly (and longingly) at the lifestyle supplement sections. I love the home and interior sections, also daydreaming over the recipes and travel pullouts.

Since doing a juice cleanse a few weeks ago (yep, I'm still banging out about that!), which I enjoyed and really benefited from, my Sundays now include juices.
And if you had a big Saturday night out, this is a perfect, painless and easy way to inject some goodness into your Sambucca and wine frazzled stomach.

The Sunday Sanctuary juice is delicate, green and frothy - packed with vitamin C, calcium, magnesium and folic acid. Perfect for soothing a boozy head and stomach.
The lime and mint adds a refreshing but sharp taste - good for a morning wake-up call.




The Sunday Sanctuary
 Ingredients:
1 apple
2 pears
1/2 lime (not peeled)
3 springs of mint
1 parsnip (not peeled)

This juice is so simple to make.
Just chuck all the ingredients into your juicer, exactly as they are.
No need to bother peeling or chopping into pieces.
To make sure you get the most out of the lime and mint - sandwich them between the
apple or pears as you fill your juicer.


Not sure why I poured mine into a chunky wine glass?
Must have still have Saturday night booze on the brain.
Anyway, just pour over some ice and drink while the froth's still soft on the top.
 
make-up free and hair unbrushed. Not a good morning look.

Oscars day...Day Seven

The day of the Oscars….dun dun dun.

I was staying on Sunset Boulevard which means I was literally in the hub of everything happening.
There were film crews, transmission trucks, glamourous TV news reporters everywhere.
There was also a man dressed as Jesus wandering around blessing everyone with “love and gratitude”. Only in LA.

Here's a quick run down on what happened on Oscar night…

Anna Hathaway was a brilliant host, which was quite surprising for all. She revealed her secret weapon was to “change my dress as often as possible, so people pay more attention to what I’m wearing than my nerves.”

Leonardo DiCapro plans to move in on Russell Brand’s older woman Helen Mirren revealing: “Id love to work with Helen, she’s an amazing actress and seems fun. I’m gonna try and get it sorted tonight.”

Florence Welch gushed: “I'm so excited, I never dreamt I’d be in Hollywood at the Oscars doing a duet with Sir Elton John.”

After scooping best actress Natalie Portman admitted she will not be calling her unborn baby Oscar saying: “That’s really funny, no one’s asked me that yet, but no, there’s absolutely no change I will choose Oscar. We can stop that rumour, right now.”

Russell Brand has officially turned his back on his rock n roll routes. He proudly brought his Mum to the Oscars instead of wife Katy Perry.

Scarlett Johansson admitted: “The ceremony’s so long people sneak food into the theatre, I know it’s not very glamorous but it’s true”

And Gwyneth Paltrow shocked everyone by announcing she wants to turn her talents to hip-hop. “I would love to do a duet or collaboration with Jay Z," she said, "he’s a genius and I’m a massive fan.”

The after party everyone wanted to go to was at the Vanity Fair party…which looked like this from outside our hotel.


Still no signs of Cheryl Cole….
