From Fed's mind to your eyes.

There's an Italian friend of mine (his nick-name's Beaker, because of a particularly painful, yet highly entertaining accident, when we were at college) who started practising Bikram Yoga three years ago, in Italy. He loves it. He practises five times a week, religiously, often doing doubles. The other day, he was telling me how much he loves the heat and how he often complains, if he feels like the temperature is not high enough for him.

'Your teachers must love you!', I laughed.

'I'm going out with one of them, actually.' He replied.

There was a long pause. TO READ MORE CLICK HERE

Leigh:

As a Child what did you want to be when you grew up?

I always wanted to be on stage...my mum was a dance teacher and dad a singer so I grew up in a performing household. I trained, like a lot of people at BYC, at The ArtsEd School of Musical Theatre which is in Chiswick. I am very happy that ArtsEd is in Chiswick as that is how I heard of BYC.

Describe yourself in 3 words?

Chocolate....it probably doesn't sound that guilty, but if you knew how much I ate, then you would definitely get it....

Being Healthy Never Taster So Good

RAW BONBON - Artisan Raw Chocolatier & Patissier

A couple of years ago I discovered that my love for chocolate can be transformed into a passion of making delicious sweet treats. With a keen interest into healthy life and yoga, the nutritional quality of the food I ate became very important.

Eating raw and healthy sweets is very beneficial for my Bikram yoga practice keeping my energy level

balanced (versus the sugar rushes I had when eating sweets with sugar, preservatives or artificial sweeteners). Bikram yoga has an amazing detox effect and replenishing the body with highly nutritional value food is so important. Nutritionally speaking raw cacao is one of the best "superfoods" we have. Raw chocolate lowers the blood pressure & improve the blood circulation, can improve digestion and enhance physical and mental well-being.

Raw Bonbon started as a dream for healthy yet delicious chocolate bonbons, to enjoy on your own and to share with loved ones.

A beautiful chocolate gift.

After experimenting with raw cacao and raw cacao butter, nuts and flavours the first raw bonbon was born in 2012.

Inspired by a very dear friend of mine more flavours were added to the mix and the new bonbons - Matcha & Vanilla and Passion Fruit & Coconut swiftly become part of the Raw Bonbon family. Each of them dipped in dark raw chocolate is pure Magic! I know that I am biased but they are really delicious, these beautiful "twin bonbons".

Deliciously healthy: both of the raw bonbons are light and nutritional and a perfect snack before or after yoga.

Matcha (green tea extract) is very high in natural antioxidants. Antioxidants are naturally occurring chemicals that help your body fight diseases and inhibit the aging process. Matcha helps you stay focused yet relaxed.

Passion Fruit and cashew nuts are rich in potassium. Potassium is a mineral that is very important for a healthy body cell structure and it is not stored in the body as other minerals are; hence, the body is constantly in need of a daily dose of potassium. Your Heart loves it.

Raw Bonbon is a passionate journey of chocolate discoveries and love creations.

Raw Bonbons will be available in your BYC fridge from this coming September. �1.80 for a pack of 2.
