Feel Great = Attract ‘Good Stuff’ of Life
Feeling great means you not only have energy to DO more in life – it also means that you’ll naturally start attracting ‘good things’ (like great relationships, money… [insert whatever floats YOUR boat here!]).
Now, you might still need to work on your mindset, and clear any limiting beliefs you have, but having healthy high vibration puts you a step ahead of most people when it comes to attracting the bounties of life.
So, tell me. How’s your health right now? Perhaps it’s OK? Or so-so? Or maybe pretty awful?
If so, could you do with a little inspiration and hard-core, real-life health information to get you on the right track?
If you caught my latest ezine, you’ll know about a phenomenal FREE health teleseries that’s on at the moment, hosted by the illustrious Dr Ritamarie Loscalzo.
Over three informative teleseminars, the good doctor shares information on how hormones are affecting your health, and what you can do about it.
Dr Ritamarie, like me, believes in the healing and energetic powers of raw food, and she uses living foods (as well as targeted supplementation) as the basis for her work with clients.
Calls 1 and 2 of the Shine teleseries have already taken place, but if you hurry, you can still sign up and access those calls, and have access to the final, upcoming call.
I’ve been a client of Dr Ritamarie’s before, and even I’m learning something new on these calls!
Sounds good, doesn’t it – feeling fantastic so that you not only enjoy life, but also boost your vibration and attract even more amazing experiences. It’s a ‘win’ x 1,000,000.
Fruit & Nut Choc Eggs
I shared this recipe in my ezine last Easter, and I thought I’d share it with you here, so that you have a healthy alternative to conventional chocolate eggs this Easter!
Unfortunately, most conventional chocolates are chock-full of sugar, milk compounds and emulsifiers – do yourself a huge favour this Easter by making these sweet chocolatey treats from natural, health-giving ingredients. They’re still an indulgence, but I guarantee you’ll feel better!
Remember… the higher your vibration (through good health and eating living foods), the higher your power for attracting all of life’s good things.
Ingredients
1 cup coconut oil
40–50g raw cacao (chocolate) powder
1½–2 tablespoons dark agave nectar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup sultanas
¼ cup cashews, finely chopped
Method
1. Place the coconut oil in a medium-sized bowl. If it’s cold at your house and the oil has turned hard in the jar (becoming coconut butter), place the jar in a pitcher full of hot water. If this fails to melt the oil, scoop out spoonsful of the coconut butter and melt it gently and slowly in a saucepan over low heat. It should definitely be liquid, without lumps.
2. Add the cacao powder, agave nectar and vanilla extract to the coconut oil, whisking until combined.
3. Add the sultanas and finely chopped cashews to the mix, whisking well.
4. Use a teaspoon to gather up a good distribution of the chocolate-coconut liquid, fruit and nuts, and tip carefully into mini half-egg moulds.
5. Chill for at least 3 hours in the fridge, or for at least 1½ hours in the freezer.
6. Carefully tip the egg halves out of their moulds, and serve while chilled.
If you wish to make whole eggs, you can place the back of the eggs on a very hot plate to melt the chocolate a little, and then press two halves together to form one egg. However, half-eggs are just the right size to pop easily into your mouth…
Bonus tip: for extra juicy sultanas, soak them in water (or orange juice – yum!) for at least an hour before adding to the mix. Make sure you drain the sultanas well.
A Sneak Peek at Life-Changing Affirmations
Hello there! It’s another beautiful day here on planet Earth… and how is this day going to pan out for you?
In my experience, if you can slowly work towards raising your vibration every day, ‘the good stuff’ starts appearing more and more frequently, in the most delightful of ways. I am living proof of that, and so are you!
I have a few tools on hand for raising MY vibration, and one of those tools is listening to affirmations (usually on my iPod while I do things around the house, or in the car on the way to school pick-up) and having them in sight so that I can read and absorb their beautiful messages.
Because I know how much power affirmations have, I created an inspirational affirmations product for you (featuring MP3 audios and written-out affirmations) – and I also use it myself!
If you don’t already have my Dream Life Affirmations, then I thought I’d share a little sneak peek into what you’ll receive.
I divided the affirmations in three aspects of life – Rich, Radiant and Real (wealth, health and authentic happiness) – and below are examples from each category. These images are taken directly from the PDF that you’ll receive.
A ‘rich’ affirmation for wealth-attraction:
Ooh, that one feels good, doesn’t it?!
Here’s an uplifting example of a ‘radiant’ affirmation:
That one really helps you feel anticipation about choosing scrumptious, life-giving foods.
And here’s a ‘real’ affirmation:
Mmm. Love that one.
There are 40 (yes, 40!) affirmations for each category in my Dream Life Affirmations product – so that’s 120 affirmations, in total.
Wouldn’t you love to have 120 messages like these beamed into your awareness every day, so that you’re consciously and subconsciously creating a beautiful life that you LOVE?
Then it’s as easy as investing in yourself through this instantly downloadable product. You could be listening to these affirmations within a matter of minutes.

Have yourself a beautiful, high-energy day, and I’ll see you soon! Mwuh!

Looking Good, Feeling Good
You’ve probably heard me say this before, but when you feel good, the ‘good stuff’ of life is attracted to you.
And while feeling good is an inside job (with the thoughts you think and with the nutrition you put into your body temple), looking good on the outside helps boosts those inner feel-good vibes.
If you’re ready to look good, and feel good, and therefore ramp up your attracting power, you’ll love the Little Black Dress makeover event, which starts tomorrow.
You’ll be guided through three teleclasses with my friend Shakaya Leone, of Earth Empress, who will reveal her seven-day, high-raw ‘Beauty Diet’, as well as a host of tips on how to look stunning for a special occasion.
She has generously shared one of the recipes that will feature in the makeover event – Marshmallow Mango Parfait (that’s it in the pic below). Is your mouth watering yet?! Shakaya really knows how to make sensuous, sumptuous food that tastes amazing and is beautiful for your body and soul.
There’s a crazy-low introductory investment in this event, but expect to pay more to join, once the event has started. It begins tomorrow, so click on over and sign up, if this Little Black Dress Makeover event resonates with you.
If you have a special occasion coming up, or you just want to look and feel your very best every day, then you will LOVE this program!
PS I’m a special guest on the second call, and will be helping you to organise your fridge and kitchen – and I’ve provided a wardrobe-decluttering workbook as a bonus when you join the program!
PPS The lady in the black dress in the picture above is Shakaya herself. Yes, this lady walks her talk…

Raw Food on the Run
I just want to share something rather special with you.
You may have noticed that the collective vibration of the planet is increasing, and there are more and more healthy-food alternatives cropping up all over the world. Hallelujah, I say!
Eating raw foods helps increase our body’s vibration, yet when we’re out of the house there sometimes aren’t that many options around for eating tasty, pre-made takeaway food. We have to take what’s available (which could be kinda healthy), or bring our own food.
So I love it when I hear of the spread of live-food eateries, it makes me happy!
On Facebook recently I saw a video of health crusader Paul Nison, of the Raw Life Health Show, interviewing a lady who has set up an amazing raw-food take-away venue… underground, in a train station! She sells all sorts of wonderful foods, including salads, burritos, sandwiches, smoothies, juices and sweet treats (tiramisu, anyone?). All RAW! And many customers don’t even know they’re eating raw food when the owner offers them a sample.
Imagine if we had a venue like this in every train station, bus station and airport over the world?
People would have the option to eat ‘on the run’ food with incredible taste and life-giving potential, rather than settle for the less-than-optimal options.
Congratulations to the amazing women who started and run this cafe, which is called RAW period.
If you have a venue like this near you, be sure to give it your support… and perhaps even consider opening your own.
Isn’t this story inspiring?
Beautiful High Vibrations
You may well know by now that I’m BIG into ‘choosing natural’.
It’s my belief that a high vibration (which attracts ‘the good stuff of life’) comes from putting good food in and ON your body, as well as by exercising, resting… and all the other ways that I reveal in my freebie e-booklet called 7 Ways to Recharge Your Vibration & Attract the Riches of Life.
I’ve been searching high and low for a ‘natural’ nail polish that would NOT be full of toxic ingredients. (Anything we put on our nails eventually makes its way into our bloodstream, and we breathe in the fumes as we apply it, too…) Finally, I’ve found a range that comes close to achieving this.
The SpaRitual range is vegan, and contains no formaldehyde, toleune or dibutyl phthalate (DBP), and uses recycled materials in its packaging. Isn’t that fab? It may not be COMPLETELY natural, but at least it’s better than the current conventional nail varnishes out there on the market. If you’d like to read more about the harmful nail varnish chemicals you’d want to avoid, check out this FAQ page.
Understandably, this range is not a low price when compared with your usual mainstream, ‘drugstore’ nail varnishes, but it’s competitively priced when compared with higher-end varnishes. I’d highly recommend that you check it out. In Australia head here (they’ll send them out to you in the mail) and in the US head here.
A colleague of mine is currently doing R&D to create a completely natural range of water-based nail varnishes, to complement the rest of her natural skin-care, make-up and haircare range, so when they’re available I’ll test them and will let you know where you can get your (beautifully manicured) hands on those!
Isn’t it great that ‘living naturally’ means we can now add splashes of shine and colour with innovative products like these?
A High-Vibe Christmas Season
If you’ve been a regular Rich Radiant Real reader for a while, you’ll know that I highly recommend eating high-vibration (read: high-raw) foods, so that you raise your own vibration and attract more of life’s good stuff.
While the Christmas season is traditionally a time of ultimate indulgence (yum!), all that rich, sugar- and fat-filled food can leave you feeling less than great. In fact, you probably feel a distinct ‘drop’ in vibration.
There is a solution, you know – why not introduce a few scrumptious healthy festive treats to the table on Christmas Day?
These foods don’t need to totally replace your traditional options, but if they’re there, you and your guests at least have the option of trying a few healthy options, and feeling the better for it!
Have a flip through Dr Ritamarie Loscalzo’s Healthy Holiday Traditions ebook, and you’ll be spoiled for choice. Dr Ritamarie’s done all the hard work of creating fresh, flavour-filled meals and treats that feel celebratory! She also includes fantastic gift ideas, and tips for eating healthily throughout the holiday season.
It’s not about deprivation. It’s about treating your tastebuds AND keeping your vibration high!
PS Why not try the Gingerbread Cookies or the Chocolate Macadamia-Nut Fudge?
