Disaster Opportunism

Disaster Opportunism – One of the best books I have ever read, is called DISASTER CAPITALISM by Naomi Klein.  It explores many of the key themes we see every day playing out on social media in the wake of Covidity.  However, we seem to be moving towards a global Communist world government, using the platform of a manufactured health crisis, rather than moving towards the Capitalistic paradigm.  In many circles, “Capitalism” has been criticised, but I have always been a strong believer in free and fair open market trade, where all are welcome to benefit from so called “Capitalism”.  However, we have never had a free and fair system.  The game has always been rigged in favour of a few controlling interests at the top of the financial spectrum.

It should come as no surprise to those who can see what is really going on in the world, that through the manufactured Covid crisis, the rich are getting richer, and the poor are getting poorer.  Indeed that has always been part of the agenda, the transference of wealth from masses to the elites, who, prior to the onset of Covid, owned more than half the world’s wealth and resources already.

Not only the world’s billionaires, but mask and vaccine makers have all made opportunistic manoeuvres due the manufactured covid crisis… and of course let us not forget the media personalities.  There are no shortage of self styled gurus who use a disaster as an opportunity to create a platform for themselves, and their supposed versions of the truth.  In fact, the online airwaves have become so saturated with it, that I can barely find the will to broadcast a peep these days, and that is saying something, considering that we have run a broadcast network in some form or other for the past decade.  The online world has become a cult garnishing environment, and I simply do not want to participate in any cult ideologies, never mind perpetuate them.

There are many people waking up and speaking out about this dire state of affairs, with demonstrations happening all over the world, despite the lockdown measures.  The so called “Alternative Media” has gone into overdrive on this subject, as more and more people awaken to the reality we are currently being faced with, and indeed, more and more people taking to broadcasting their new found truth to the world, which in one way is a good thing, as more and more eye opening information is being made available, shared around, and thus, fundamentally altering the state of consciousness of humanity by awakening the collective.

But it must be said at this juncture, that important part of the individual awakening process has always been the first step away from the Red Pill moment, and where you land.  There are no shortage of cults, controlled opposition groups, new agers, fakers, scammers, failed rock stars chasing fame, and out right narcissists, who want to suck in the newly awakened being in the an energetic vampiring cycle in order to create social equity, thus beckoning in the adulation, creating sustenance for the soul sick.  Indeed, I have seen first hand this sad vacuous cycle and the damage it can do.

My husband Biggi and I – BiggiBoho.Life

It must however be said, that with each false turn, I grew more knowledgeable, more savvy, and with improved the clarity of my perception, which has allowed me to navigate this cosmic gauntlet of challenges, course correcting when necessary, because I never truly went too far into the wrong rabbit hole.  I thank my husband for pushing me forward, and never pulling me back, never limiting the intellectual reaches of my mind, whilst accompanying me, guiding me, giving me arms to cry in, when I have been hurt due to misstep, and once fallen, encouraging me to always get back on the horse, so to speak.  The simple fact is, you do not know everything.  It is easy to take a wrong turn out of blind faith, but thankfully I have have been every so blessed to acquire an international circle of trusted people, who’s advice and council has been invaluable in keeping me aligned with my purpose path.  It is really important to surround yourself with knowledge, research and opinions of people that you trust, and who are not in anyway frightened of disagreeing with you.

As an author, broadcaster, Independent Investigative Journalist, Conscious Consumer, and Cosmic Navigator, I have always felt compelled by truth and fact. It does become tiring, and there are times I just want to write something less serious like a cook book, but it is important to recognise the conversation of the day, as not to recognise it is a great misstep.  I openly acknowledge that.  However, trying to own or capitalise off that conversation, seems to have become the trend de jour, but not all the conversation is worthy of time, attention and / or money.

DRAGONOLOGY | One of my best bodies of wor

Being driven by heart, talent and instinct, I try always to feel like I am leading not following.  When I have started to get distracted by people on the left or the right, I lose that clarity of thought.  Listen to the information, but in the end, your truth, your choices have to come from who you are.  The only truth you know, is the truth you find for yourself, and you ultimately have to take responsibility for your decisions, and thus you need to own your decisions, own who who you are, but do it without apology.  That may smack of arrogance to some people, or even just a lack of diplomacy.  That is the point.  Diplomacy is nothing more than the external locus of identity created to mask our real feelings.  Diplomacy is for those that lack integrity, a way of lying silently, much like political correctness.  It takes real strength and confidence to call a spade a spade, wholeheartedly, and unapologetically, irrespective of whose precious ego may get bruised.

This way of being may not make you the most popular person around, but it will earn you the respect of the right people, the people that matter.  There is no point of being a one eyed king in the land of the blind.  With what is going on right now in the world, we need to go forward with both eyes wide open, so that we can base our decisions on fact and truth, not on self engrandising delusions.  We need to be honest with our selves about who we are and where we are, in order to ever get a grip on our ongoing reality.

HEALING & SELF CARE THE REAKIRO WAY

HEALING & SELF CARE THE REAKIRO WAY | Over the past decade, one of the greatest challenges was tracking down a reliable source of CBD oil products.  In fact, to my utter disgust, I was amazed at how many dodgy suppliers of CBD oil based products there are out there, so much so in fact, that I did full investigative reports on several dodgy brands.  Following on from these reports, one of my readers put me in touch with a company called REAKIRO.  I had never heard of them before, but once I got in touch, I was sent a few samples of products, including a 15% CBD oil, which had immediate and noticeable effects.  In fact, it made me realise just how bad all the other products were that I had been wasting time and money with.

 

The beautiful presentation box that REAKIRO products come in

REAKIRO CBD oil products contain full spectrum Cannabis oils produced from the highest quality industrial hemp cultivated in the European Union and tested by independent third-party laboratories, and all their certificates are published on their website.  Furthermore, they sent a printed copy of these test certificates to me along with the products I was sent.  What I loved the most about REAKIRO was my much sought after and  hard won foundational principles of trust and transparency.  This is especially important when purchasing products that you use for healing purposes and may be in your body everyday.  With so many unregulated suppliers / distributors out there, the sure fire way to ensure you are getting quality CBD that will be effective, is to make sure that you deal with a company that has trackable third party test certificates from a reputable food / cosmetic testing laboratory.  It is never a good idea to take chances with your health.  Only ever purchase products that have been quality tested to avoid being poisoned by dodgy products.

As the Co-Founder, Creative Director and Content Manager for Conscious Consumer Network, I have become acutely aware of the vast amount of dodgy, sub par beauty and personal care that are available for sale on the market.  In fact there is very limited regulation about what is allowed in products which are applied topically to the skin, with many containing outright unnecessary, toxic additives.  Some of the biggest cosmetic giants on the market, have removed many carcinogenic additives from their products that have proven damaging, but this can sometimes take years to implement these toxin removals, once the negative effects of said additives have been proven and documented, as is the case with talc, paraben and sodium lauryl sulphate.

Along with the ingested CBD oil products produced by REAKIRO, they also make various topically applied products, such as moisturisers, masks and massage lotions, under the label of  GODDESS SATIVA , which are vegan, cruelty-free, and gluten-free, and is made on a GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) facility in the European Union.  The skin is the largest organ on the body, and absorbs up to 70% of what is put on it.  Interestingly, the skin also has Endocannabinoid receptors which are designed to work with There is full transparency across the board via the website, regarding ingredients used in manufacturing.  Furthermore, the test certificates for these products are also available from the website, and come from reputable, independent third party laboratories.

This is a thick, luxurious body moisturiser containing full spectrum CBD oil is rich in Phyto-cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, amino acids, vitamins and other active compounds of cannabis sativa.  This body butter treatment has a delicious fragrance, but not too overpowering.  Despite the super thick, buttery consistency, it rubbed in beautifully, absorbed well, and kept the skin moist and soft for well over 24 hours.   I loved everything about this product.  It is a winner and one of my clear favourites for beauty and skin care.  I love that I can now take care of my skin whilst also adding CBD to my body, as up to 70% of what you put on your skin, is absorbed into the blood stream.  GODDESS SATIVA BODY BUTTER also comes in a VANILLA & MILK CREAM flavour.

GODDESS SATIVA CREAM FOR DRY HANDS

This cream is described as “a maximum strength restorative cream for dry hands”, but in all honestly, it is suitable for any area of the body that has dry patches, such as elbows and feet.  This hand cream formulated with full spectrum CBD oil, and like the other SATIVA GODDESS products, it has a very pleasant aroma, whilst not being too overpowering.  This is a great treatment for super dry skin, and worked very well.  Like the GODDESS SATIVA creams I have tested, this was gentle, and did not make my skin tingle or burn, which commonly occurs on dry and / or cracked skin.  I tested this product on my hands and feet, waring gloves and socks to bed, and woke up completely satisfied with the result.  My dry areas were moisturised and softened.

GODDESS SATIVA MUSCLE RELIEF GELS

The GODDESS SATIVA MUSCLE RELIEF GELS are not a product you would use everyday, but they are an essential parts of one’s First Aid Kit, because you never know when you have a injury that requires attention.  In recent weeks, both my husband and I found ourselves being injured.  My husband had sprained his ankle, and I had injured my hands rather badly when I was mauled by a cat, obtaining several deep puncture wounds, particularly around my knuckles, which swelled so much that I could not bend them.  The pain was absolutely excruciating.  

APPLYING GODDESS SATIVA MUSCLE RELIEF WARMING GEL TO MY HUSBAND’S SPRAINED ANKLE

To treat my husband’s sprained ankle, I began using the GODDESS SATIVA MUSCLE RELIEF WARMING GEL, which comes in a 100ml pump action bottle, and contains 500 mg of CBD.  The problem my husband has, is bad circulation due to sitting at a computer desk for 12 hours a day, and thus, this particular injury was not healing as fast as it should, given that it was not that serious.  Thankfully, I had been sent a sample of the GODDESS SATIVA MUSCLE RELIEF WARMING GEL by REAKIRO, and began applying this gel regularly around his sprained ankle, giving it a vigorous massage, and wrapping it in a bandage on a daily basis.  The warming effect of the GODDESS SATIVA MUSCLE RELIEF WARMING GEL help to relax the tense, strained muscles and tendons, due to a combination of the beneficial ingredients such as CBD oil, essential oils, and the warming agent Hot Flux.  GODDESS SATIVA MUSCLE RELIEF WARMING GEL acts through warming therapy, soothing the body and enhancing microcirculation to the applied area.  The swelling began to reduce, but as my husband is on his feet everyday, we kept reapplying to reduce the reoccurrence of swelling.  Most notable effect of the GODDESS SATIVA MUSCLE RELIEF WARMING GEL was the immediate reduction of pain, which is no doubt a result of the full spectrum CBD which is found in this product.

Ingredients:

  • Full Spectrum CBD is rich in Phyto-cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, amino acids, vitamins and other active compounds of cannabis sativa.
  • Arnica in combination with menthol – this cooling essential oil is used for bruises, aches, sprains, joint pain, muscle soreness and muscle spasms.
  • Rosemary Essential Oil is known to reduce pain and inflammation, and strengthen the immune system.
  • Vanillyl Butyl Ether (VBE) brings milder warming, a long lasting effect for personal care applications, also enhances micro-circulations.
  • Camphor is used to relieve pain and reduce itching, increasing local blood flow.
  • Piper Nigrum Oil helps absorption and bioavailability.
  • Ginger Essential Oil soothes redness, eliminates bacteria and restores colour and radiance to a dull complexion.

 

My hands after injury

 

GODDESS SATIVA MUSCLE RELIEF GELS

My injury was somewhat more serious than my husband’s sprained ankle, and I was in quite a bit of shock due to the the 40 or so deep puncture wounds I received around my knuckles, penetrating cartilage and tendons.  Immediately after the incident, I washed the blood from my hands, disinfected the wounds with my LUNAR SILVER.

Once the bleeding had subsided, I then applied the GODDESS SATIVA MUSCLE RELIEF COOLING GEL, which comes in a 100ml pump action bottle, and contains 500 mg of CBD.  The cooling effect was immediately soothing to the hot searing pain surface level pain, whilst the CBD penetrated the skin to relieve the pain at deeper levels.  Following this treatment, I immediately wrapped my hands up in gauze, followed by bandages for protection.  I was out of action for a week, unable to do anything, barely able to type or text.  It was important to get this injury healed as soon as possible, and thus, each day, I re-applied the GODDESS SATIVA MUSCLE RELIEF COOLING GEL, followed by a fresh dressing of bandages.

GODDESS SATIVA MUSCLE RELIEF COOLING GEL

What I noticed due to the daily application of the GODDESS SATIVA MUSCLE RELIEF COOLING GEL, is that there was very little bruising, which was surprising given the amount of swelling that resulted from the injury.  I attribute this to the Arnica, which is one of the key ingredients of this product.

Ingredients:

  • Full Spectrum CBD is rich in Phyto-cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, amino acids, vitamins and other active compounds of cannabis sativa.
  • Arnica in combination with menthol – this cooling essential oil is used for bruises, aches, sprains, joint pain, muscle soreness and muscle spasms.
  • Bulgarian Scots Pine Oil has antimicrobial, antibacterial, antifungal, antiseptic and antirheumatic properties. Pine oil is also valued for its ability to help soothe muscular stiffness.
  • Peppermint oil is used for relief from muscle pain.
  • Wintergreen Oil is one of the best sources of this inflammation-fighting compound in the world.
REAKIRO RAW HEMP EXTRACT RxPEN

REAKIRO RAW HEMP EXTRACT RxPEN

To further assist in managing the pain I was in day to day as a result of my injuries, I began using the REAKIRO RAW HEMP EXTRACT RxPEN, which has a this consistency, and delivers a wide range of cannabinoids and terpenes found in hemp into the body in its purest form.  It is easily released due to the expertly designed applicator, to ensure you get a precise serving size each and every time you click on the pen.  I used it by placing this raw hemp extract under my tongue, as I enjoy the strong earthy taste.  It can be a bit intense for some people, so mixing it with some food, or using as a topping on salad or such like, can also work well.

Much like I discovered when using the REAKIRO CBD OIL, this RAW HEMP EXTRACT works almost immediately, by balancing out the brain chemistry, relaxing the body, relieving stress, pain and anxiety.  This has to be one of my favourite products that are made by REAKIRO, and comes well packaged in the aesthetically pleasing cylinder container, complete with safety seal and, lot / batch number, and expiry date.  I was also sent the test certificates for this product, which is also available on the REAKIRO website.

REAKIRO has been featured in Marie Claire, a magazine that I used to write consumer reviews for, as one of the products that they are obsessing over.  Fortunately for those who reside in the United Kingdom, REAKIRO is stocked by Holland & Barrett, which is a health store that has outlets across the United Kingdom.

Addressing the latest rumour: FELINE THEFT

Addressing the latest rumour: FELINE THEFT | The world has gone through a very tough time over the past year or so, as we approach the one year anniversary of the implementation of lockdowns and restrictions, which has been devastating to the economy and destroyed the lives of many people… and I am not even talking about a virus here.  The climate of “covidity” has had the knock on effect of causing many people to go into a very negative space.  Indeed, depression and suicides are rampant.  I totally understand how people are feeling, as I have had my bouts of the Covid Blues, but I have found ways to manage it with natural remedies.

What has been most noticeable in assessing the psychological impact of our fear frenzied social climate, is how people who are emotionally unintelligent, project their negativity at others, because they live in a mental prison of fear, and they insist that we must all share that mental prison with them.

I live in the small village of Carvoeiro on the Algarvian coast, and as is the case with any small town communities, there is always gossip and rumours amongst the locals.  I for one tend not to indulge in gossip or rumours about people I do not even know, as I fill my time consciously, and I have better ways to express my energetic manifestations.  Having worked in media for over two decades, I know how dangerous and damaging gossip can be, and I never say anything about anybody unless I have concrete proof of loss and / or harm.  Low level gossiping and nattering, is for the small minded.  If I have anything to say about someone, I will say it directly to them, or say nothing at all.

My Kitty children and I

Amongst several other unpleasant rumours that have recently come back to us, due to the gossip that goes around amongst people, who are empty, soul sick, and who have nothing better do to but project their Covidity induced misery onto others, is some talk about how my husband and I have been stealing cats.  No jokes.  This is the latest in a spate of rumours and gossip that is circulating in our local community.

Indeed, some pathetic so and so, took to the local Carvoeiro Forum on Facebook, to warn people that they saw my husband and I out in public, with several cats in pink stroller, and one cat on my husband’s shoulder, walking down the street, and they wrongly stated that we were stealing cats.  And no, they were not imagining it.  This actually is something they saw, because my husband and I treat our four kitty babies like children.  Admittedly, we regularly take our cats for walks, the same way people would take dogs out for walks around town.

Kitties in their pink stroller

Now I realise this may be rather unusual to the limited perspective of some people, because I personally have never come across anybody else who does this.  When we go to the beach, our Kitty children come with us.  When we go for walks to the shops, our kitties come with us.  When we go for strolls along the cliffs, our kitties come with us.  I have lost count of how many times people have said to me that this is the first time they have ever come across cats being taken out to the beach.  Cat lover commonly remark how they would love to do the same thing, but they are afraid that their cats would run away.

Right there, is the explanation of why my husband and I are so different to everybody else out there… We do not live in fear.

Kitties on the beach

Being free spirited, unconventional person, completely unique in my outlooks, external expressions and behaviours, I have always been subject to scrutiny by narrow minded people.  This is something I have become accustomed to.  Being different means that bland people with limited outlooks will scrutinise and judge.  As an artist, I am different to your run of the mill type.  My books are controversial.  My many investigative exposes have infuriated those I have exposed.  There are no shortage of stories, rumours and gossip that circulate about my husband and I.  There have been, and always will be, people that just want to hate because they are haters, perhaps they are jealous, or they are just soul sick and lack emotional intelligence.

The great thing about being me, and probably the aspect of my being that annoys people the most, is that I simply do not give a damn what anybody thinks of me.  I have never allowed myself to be defined by the opinions of others.  I embrace my uniqueness and do not seek to conform to the normalities and expectations of anybody.  I do what I do with an open heart and a clear conscience.  I live a clean and honest life, and I conduct myself ethically.  I stand up for what I believe in, even if I am standing alone.  I know who and what I am in my heart, and I have wonderful relationships with my family and close lifelong friends.  That is all I need.  I do not seek the approval of of others, particularly small minded gossip mongers, who have nothing better to do that to speak negatively about people they do not even know.  Indeed, why would I want to be like them.  The lesson I learn from such people, is how not to be.

It is a unique and beautiful thing that we do with our kitties.  Being able to take them out has taken training, patience and developing an unbreakable bond of trust based on a love and understanding.  What bothers me the most about this whole episode, is how people can take something so beautiful, so pure and so innocent, and turn it into something supposedly negative and indeed, with allegations potential criminality.  That for me, truly says so much about the dire state of humanity, and how far gone we really are as a human species.

To see how we manage with our Kitty children out and about, feel free to check out this short clip I made and posted on Facebook, featuring
