Hi, my name is Carol Karl. I live in little old New Zealand. My family and I strive to live the most ‘real’ life we can –by that I mean that we eat real food, we live real lives and just generally be our most authentic selves. We choose a keto (low carb) lifestyle and I create and share lots of yummy recipes because I love to cook and share my food with anyone who will eat it. We are in the process of renovating a 1970s Lockwood home and we are sharing our experiences and discoveries along the way. Decorating and gardening are passions, as well as making my own skincare and makeup. Over the years, I’ve shared my health journey through being gluten free due to irritable bowel syndrome and other problems, recovering from adrenal fatigue and now into a keto lifestyle which has healed all the other problems.
My blog started back in 2009 when we moved to Canada. It was initially a way to share our experiences with our family back home but, when life became more ‘normal’ I started sharing my gluten free recipes that I had created for my family. Back then I didn’t realise that sugar was the enemy and, when I look back, I can see the error of my ways. There are still lots of gluten free, sugar filled recipes here, but I don’t cook them anymore.
In 2020 I purchased an online store Affordable Jewellery Supplies and started posting my jewellery projects which has turned into a YouTube channel, so I also share those every week.
I’m looking to sharing more of my journey with you. Subscribe to get my updates via email.
