When I was working in the Rawgeous Cafe at Rest Fest last September I didn't get out to see many of the bands playing because I wanted to soak up everything I could learn in the raw kitchen with Pete.... so I would listen (whilst chopping veggies) to the music coming from the main stage and one evening I heard a brilliant band playing which I found out we're called The Undercover Hippys' the next morning I went in the meltdown sauna to thaw out my cold bones from the freezing cold nights sleep in my little tent, and I met Billy and Theo, the singer and drummer from the band.
After the festival I took a rest whilst being between continents and stayed at my parents beautiful Hampshire house, and to keep me company in the kitchen while i was recipe testing I downloaded the Undercover Hippys albulm.

The one song I was obsessed with was called 'Boyfriend' it has such an upbeat fun vibe to it I kept playing it over. I looked on their Facebook fanpage and saw the band was looking for funding to make a music video using the crowd funding site kickstarter, I messaged Billy and said I would contribute with my 'acting services' if they would like to use me. In the meantime I get a call out of the blue from a modelling agency offering me 3 days work and payment from the job that would to cover nearly 2 months of travelling... The modelling agency had no idea I was even back in the uk so it was bizarre they had even called me, and so I was presented with a decision to make because the two jobs were over the same dates...
Should I go with my head or my heart... ??!
Follow my head and be swayed by societies views of success and material/money gains? Or follow my heart and do what makes the heart happy and have ultimate trust that everything will work out and I will be looked after in everyway possible if I follow my bliss.
So I turned down the money job and worked for free for The Undercover Hippys...
Here is the link to the behind the scenes footage from the shoot

I have learnt to follow my heart so I get to witness magical things unfold. So I didn't make money doing the job but did what felt right and everything did fall into place call it coincidence if you will but the next day I randomly got a settlement through from a dentists case I logged 4 years previously.. lets put it this way... I had to recount the number of zeros on the cheque !
I'm also earning good money now doing raw food events in Goa (only just finished training in Bali in August) I am seeing more and more that these things just spontaneously happen out of nothing and nowhere.
