Natural Temptations

I love catching up with friends and family over Christmas. Today i was able to catch up with a close friend of mine and reminded of the simple things in life that mean the most to us, one of them is friendship. We are quite different in our personalities and likes but similar in many ways also and understand each other having been through so much together.

A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words.

Never forget those around you who you value in your life, they are the ones who make life truly wonderful  and share the most memorable experiences with you whether good or bad, thick or thin. This is just a short message to say thank you for the wonderful people in my life, you all mean the world to me!

A Christmas lunch was in order today and i was delighted to tingle our taste buds at 'The Natural Temptation' cafe! I love the mix of healthy hot and cold foods they offer, smoothies, tea, coffee, sweets... all so vibrant and fresh and full of flavour. I settled for what i couldn't resist - a raw vegetable wrap with a side of sprouted broccoli salad, it was so good! I can't wait to make my own vegetable wraps with a new dehydrator.

And what is a catch up Christmas lunch without exchanging Christmas gifts?? Well we had prepared one for each other and i was delighted to receive a lovely wrapped present with ribbon on top wrapping a new raw food cookbook with over 400 recipes!! I will be having fun with this book i am sure :)

Happy Festivities!

I found my friend a little token necklace to wear given our history of breaking our record of over 100 black teas over a 4 week study and exam period! While we were worried those 3 hour exams would give us a caffeine withdrawal we certainly kept calm with our many sips of tea through the transition :) None the less maybe herbal tea could be a better alternative next time? :P 

I couldn't leave without a look in their sweets cabinet and while they are not a raw foods cafe they have a small selection of raw foods too and i found a lovely raw Carrot Cake! It was perfect to take away shared with mum with an afternoon Chai tea.

If you come across the chance, i definitely recommend a trip to the Natural Temptation cafe! It is a privately owned cafe in Bunbury, Western Australia but definitely one place you cannot miss!
