Delicious & Nutritious Low Calorie Salad - 56 calories

- 2 cucumbers, sliced lengthways and then cut into small pieces - 1 red onion - 1 red capsicum - 2 tsp balsamic vinegar - 1 tsp olive oil (optional)

Combine these all in a container, mix, and eat! I consider this to make four portions, 56 calories each, or 224 calories for the whole thing (which is very filling!). If you take out the oil, it would be even lower, but it’s worth it for me.

The veggies give you a boost of nutrients, and olive oil provides a tiny amount of good fat for your body (and brain!) to function.

Reveal True Colours (Hex/Spell)

Purpose: A spell to set things in motion to expose someone who’s wronged you. Meant for people you’ve spoken out against but no one believes you due to the offender’s social status. 

Needed

A small mirror

A black expo marker or black cloth

(Optional) Candles for protection/amplification

Casting

Cover mirror with the cloth or ink and light candles if you choose

Meditate, focusing on the target. (What did they do to you? Why did they do it? How did it make you feel?)

Recite the following until you’re content:

Put on a mask, Lie all you want. The monster inside you Isn’t a shock.

I’ll peel off your mask, Show your face to the light, And see who all believes That you’re still in the right.

Remove the cloth or ink from the mirror and focus on your goal.
