The Flu Shot

Who likes to have flu? Hmmm, stupid question huh? So, who never ever wants to have flu again? I’m guessing everyone right? Well, except maybe those who love the opportunity to stay home from work and that’s just weird, cause we all love our jobs, don’t we?!

Here’s another version of one of my ‘super juices’, this one is either a preventative measure for cold and flu or a way to kick it out of your system if you’re already suffering.

You should drink this from a shot glass, you’ll see why! I’m pretty run down at the moment, life has been pretty crazy and as you know, New York’s decided to impersonate the North Pole for the last 8 weeks, so having one of these before I go to bed is just perfect!

This juice is really simple and will give a great kick to your immune system.

Don’t make it last, it’s a shot, so shoot it in!

Summer Rayne Oakes

It’s almost impossible to introduce Summer Rayne Oakes. How does one describe such an amazing lady? She has an incredible career, immeasurable energy and ridiculous compassion and versatility. Her life has literally influenced and improved the lives of so many others.

If I had to print her business card, I’d struggle to select a title from the following list:

Supermodel – the Pirelli calendar is among the works in her portfolio

Environmental activist – according to ‘Outside’ magazine one of the most influential

Presenter & Public Speaker – ‘SRO Conversations’, will launch on her YouTube channel in April

Business Woman – get her eco eyewear collection here

Author – her book, ‘Style, Naturally’, is a best selling guide,

Entrepreneur, ambassador, traveler, explorer and bug collector (yes bugs, in her Williamsburg loft!) Basically an incredible woman, who inspires you to inspire others and supports you to be creative and pro active in what you love, so as to make positive changes in the world. She’s honest, happy, full of optimistic energy and super organized, you want to hate her as you have no idea how she does it all? Yet you can’t, as she’s the sweetest person you know and a dear, dear friend.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Ms Summer Rayne Oakes:

Already in the mood for SPRING…

I’m in such a spring mood right now, I’ve even started purchasing spring shoes in the hope it will encourage the brighter days and warm sunshine to hurry along.

Until that happens I’m stuck looking at these in the warmth of my apartment, they’re not a good fit for these -20C NYC days but, aren’t they pretty to look at?

I’m back at school (more certifications for my Health Counseling business), busy with shoots and castings, I’ve also started my fitness certifications, I’m moving house and training for a Marathon, so forgive me for my occasional absence, I promise I’ll get better and busier with my blogging.

Tomorrow I’ll share some behind the scenes photos from my shoot for Czech Elle magazine, so stay tuned.

So, what’s your dream pair of spring shoes?

Happy Sunday, stay warm!

Boston bound…

I hope you all are all having a great 2014 so far. However if you are suffering any post holiday blues, let me just assure you that no-one has had a train journey this year like the one I’m having right now!

Let me give you some specifics…. after a crazy day of castings in -17 ℃ (fyi we would really appreciate some spring weather, people from London and Prague, can you hear us?), I finally managed to get my ass to NYC’s Penn Station to catch my train to Boston (all the flights were cancelled due to a bad weather).

I’m currently on my third train as the first couldn’t leave due to the crazy weather conditions (heard that somewhere before?), second one actually left with a huge delay, but broke down about an hour ago and dropped us off somewhere in the middle of nowhere to wait on a platform in -20 ℃. All the passengers were patiently waiting for a white horse in the shape of a train with a working engine to come and save us, which thank heavens did after the frost gave us some proper bites. So at this point, I’ve been traveling to Boston for four hours and still have four more hours to go, this is usually a 45minute flight.

Happy birthday Dad!

There’s always so much to celebrate with my family this time of the year. Birthdays, name-days and Christmas, it’s one big party at the Cap family household! It truly is the best time of the year.

Happy birthday to my dad, who inspires me everyday to be a better person.

My extensive and obsessive ‘researching’ comes from him, so does reading 20 books at the same time. He’s my hero. He’s the nicest, kindest, sharpest, most generous, coolest and funniest man. Happy birthday dad! Now let’s celebrate!

How are your Christmas celebrations going?

‘Sneaky’ visit to Isabella Blow Exhibition

The Isabella Blow Exhibition at Somerset House in London was quite eccentric in ways I didn’t expect it to be and surprisingly un-eccentric in other ways, especially Isabella’s family history. It was very inspiring; she saw fashion in a way I never have and it opened my eyes. It was also a bit overwhelming; I spent over 4 hours there without even realizing it. Most of all it showed me, that even the most talented people out there do evolve significantly over the years (the evolution from patchwork denim jeans with pink satin to a black lace corset is a great example of before Alexander McQueen became ‘THE’ Alexander McQueen, you’ll see what I mean) Even the greatest fashion minds aren’t born that way, it’s a lot of hard work, mistakes and finding who you are.
