Pre-RAFW 2011 Interview with Nikita Sernack of Nookie


Image above and left from Nookie Winter 2011 Collection

Years ago when I first launched my online boutique www.australianflavour.com.au (now owned and run by the lovely Sarah Dines), one of the labels I was most excited to see every season was Nookie.

31 year old designer Nikita Sernack is not only one of the nicest girls in the business, she has a talent for creating the most beautiful yet wearable collections every single season.


A Fashion Week show I always look forward to, I was able to have a quick chat with Nikita in the lead up to her showing her sub label 'Nookie Beach' at this years Rosemount Australian Fashion Week (RAFW).

When did you launch Nookie?
The first season went into store for Summer 2004.

How many times have you showed at RAFW now?
This will be the 4th onsite show, the debut for the Nookie Beach line.

How long before RAFW do you start preparing for the actual show?
We start the planning/budgeting/sponsorship side of things fairly early. We always look to maximise the event in terms of collaborations and sponsors and really spend a lot of ‘think tank’ time pushing the boundaries to evolve the concept behind the show and the collection. Then there is a very intensive month long lead up to the show where we are very focused on the range and the details of the show.

Nookie has always been one of my favourite labels as your designs are always such a clever combination of being so beautifully feminine with just the right amount of subtle sexiness. Everything is also on trend yet classic enough to wear season after season, does Nookie reflect your own personal style?
Oh my gosh Krista, that is so sweet thank you! Yes Nookie is definitely an extension of myself and my journey through life. I really design from the heart and the collections are ultimately a representation of what I love in terms of essence and style. I am the ultimate Nookie shopper! I am trying to train myself not to need one of everything in every colourway!

It seems your from quite a creative family with your sister Zoe being behind the jewellery label zoemou.  Is there anyone else in your family that is in the creative industry and how has your family influenced you in doing what you do now?
I love collaborating with my sister, the jewelry she has created for this upcoming show is amazing! My whole family is very creative and that has always been a huge influence. Both my father and mother are quite incredible and passionate behind the camera lens, my brother is super creative and also lends his good looks and bod to the odd nookie show or lookbook which is very handy! My grandfather Max actually used to be in the rag trade himself....so it has gone full circle with me.

What is the most stressful part in the preparation for RAFW?
The thing with Fashion Week is everything is smooth sailing and then, BANG, there is like a week to go, you are getting 400 emails a day, there’s castings, fittings, meetings and you have 4 million things to cross of this list....and it is crazy stressful but very adrenalin filled fun at the same time! I think this phenomenon has something to do with the fact that Easter/Anzac Day is always right before Fashion Week in Australia....

Can you describe the collection we’ll be seeing next week? What is the influence and inspiration behind it?
For this years RAFW we are showing the Nookie Beach label. The Nookie Beach Spring Summer 2011/12 is a very effortless and earthy collection representing the ultimate beach girl with a future earth warrior edge. The collection is about creating a synergy between design, fashion with all things natural - nurturing the connection between people and the natural planet and communicating that with new silhouettes and a sense of empowerment. There is a simplistic and minimal ease to the collection emphasising the elements of raw, beach beauty. I am really excited, I think the runway is going to be amazing and I can’t wait to experience all the elements we have going on together.

Do you have any major plans for Nookie & Nookie Beach in the future or are you happy where it is in the Australian fashion market right now?
There are many a plan in action! We are always working on growing Nookie and communicating who the brand is to the national and international market. I am really excited for the launch of the Nookie online store and exploring the world of retail...watch this space!

Finally, what will you be doing once the craziness of RAFW is over to relax?
I am so excited to have a cocktail at the afterparty!! I am seriously counting down the minutes till the tip of that martini glass haha! There may be a little getaway with my boyfriend to Thailand too a little later in May which will surely soothe the stress of RAFW ;)

The Coagulated Blood Is An Expression of Health of The Whole Body


The following picture is a micrograph of hypercoagulated blood I refer to as a blood print.

The layer or drop of blood has been sliced off of a drop of capillary blood from the index finger.

Each layer of blood or blood print is an expression of the whole body and specific to that individuals health and well-being.

You will notice a round white hole in the center of the blood print. This round white hole is polymerized protein from the breakdown tissues of the reproductive organs as in a male prostate or a female uterus.

You will also notice several smaller round and irregular shaped white polymerized protein pools surrounding the large white protein pool. This pattern is indicative of a congestive bowel, bowel irritation and inflammation and a pre-cancerous or cancer colon.

Over the years I have consistently documented these specific patterns that indicate a pre-cancerous or cancerous condition of the reproductive organs and/or bowels as confirmed by traditional blood tests and radiology.

I call this blood type of blood observation, The Mycotoxic Oxidative Lifestyle and Dietary Blood Screening. It is 100 percent accurate and will withstand any objective scientific investigation, inquiry and/or review.

It also represents a scientific breakthrough in non-invasive preventative health care observation, test or screening of the blood and health and well-being of the whole body and its twelve individual body systems.

I made my first observations of blood patterns in the coagulated blood print over 30 years ago and have documented these patterns in over 500,000 blood samples, in over 40,000 clients, in 27 different countries. This would make me the number one self-proclaimed world expert in blood clotting pattern research.

Electron Micrograph of the Mouth

The following electron micrograph was taken at 250,000 x's magnification showing how filthy the mouth is with sclerotic plaque or chelated acids, bacteria, yeast, mold, and algae.

Electron Micrograph of Cancerous Lung Tissue

The following electron micrograph at 250,000 x's magnification is revealing the acidic cancerous tissue of the lung giving birth to yeast, mold, and algae. God forbid you EVER ingest yeast in any form, mushrooms of any kind, mold or ANY s-called healthy algae. This electron micrograph is evidence of an acidic condtion and the morbid... biological transformation of lung tissue matter into yeast, mushrooms, algae, and mold. The lies and deceptions abound around the health benefits of yeast, mushrooms, mold tintures, and algae. There are NO health benefits in the ingestion of any form of yeast, any type of mushroom or mold or any kind of algae. I have yet to see the health benefits of ingesting mushrooms, green teas, or algae. if you are taking supplements with any bacteria, yeast, mold, mushroom, enzymes, and algae's you do so at the risk of your health and fitness. All of these biological forms are the transformations of decaying and dead bodies

Dr Young's Electron Rich Green Drink!

Doc Broc's Power Plants™


Doc Broc's Power Plants™

Doc Broc's Power Plants™

With organic Doc Broc Power Plants, Dr. Young has developed a superior greens drink product that delivers vital nutrients to combat aging, unbalanced weight, and provides long-lasting energy, improving on his original Super Greens. (Available inmultiple sizes.)

Our Organic Greens Drink Powdered Mix

Doc Broc Power Plants is a fourth generation organic greens drink powder mix—green supplement—formulated by Dr. Young to support a healthy Alkalarian lifestyle and provide your body with the healthy organic nutrients it needs to combat aging, lose weight, and providelong-lasting energy.

Essentially, it is the optimal way to get your greens—the raw organic materials your body needs to power your cells and therefore your entire body—in a convenient and great tasting green drink mix.

Our green drink mix is created by low-heat dehydration, thus preserving, not killing, the nutrients of the living food. We are then able to make a powerfully concentrated mix of organic vegetables, fruits, and grasses to give you the best product available.

Years ago, when Dr. Young formulated the SuperGreens product now sold by Innerlight, Inc. there were few competitors. Now, there are more copy-cat products than we care to count. But with so much competition in the marketplace for green powdered formulations, why not put your trust in the man with the proven science to back up the benefits of the product, and the experience to not only produce quality, but improve on quality formulations he has already made?

If you need more energy, if you’re striving for better health, Doc Broc Power Plants is potent way to help your body get exactly what it needs. And not only is it healthbenefits superior to other greens drink products, but it is the best tasting. It’s mild, not bitter, and subtle in flavor.

Besides the inherent nutritional value, vitamins and minerals, that are in the organic super foods that are used to create the product, one of the main keys to its quality is that’s it is green. It’s chlorophyll rich. This is important because chlorophyll builds the blood, and it’s the blood that sustains and builds your body.

The chlorophyll molecule and the Heme molecule, the center of your blood’s hemoglobin, are essentially identical in structure. The difference is that the center of the Heme molecule is Iron, and the center of the Chlorophyll molecule is Magnesium. This near identical structure is what makes green foods a great blood builder. Let's take a closer look:

Chlorophyll is often referred to as the blood of the green plant. No wonder nothing compares to chlorophyll when it comes to building your blood. In fact, if you look at the molecular structure of your hemoglobin you'll find that the core structure is identical to chlorophyll, except for the center atom—Magnesium in chlorophyll and Iron in heme.

Dr. Young's research indicates as you increases your consumption of chlorophyll from green foods and green drinks the quality and quantity of the red blood cells improve. This can be noted on a CBC medical test as the red blood cell count increases and the hemoglobin increases in the healthy ranges. This makes chlorophyll-rich green drinks one of the most efficient ways to get your greens and build your blood. And healthy blood means a healthy body.

Green Drinks Are Rich in Vitamins

We’ll revisit this idea of green drinks building blood, but let’s now consider a few of the multitude of traditionally evaluated vitamins and minerals that are richly found in greens? Here’s what the vegetarian-nutrition.info website says: "Leafy vegetables are ideal for weight management as they are typically low in calories. They are useful inreducing the risk of cancer and heart disease since they are low in fat, high in dietary fiber, and rich in folic acid, vitamin C, potassium and magnesium, as well as containing a host of phytochemicals, such as lutein, beta-cryptoxanthin, zeaxanthin, and beta-carotene. One study showed that an increment of one daily serving of green leafy vegetables, lowered the risk of cardiovascular disease by 11 percent. In the Adventist health study, the frequent consumption of green salads by African-Americans was associated with a substantially lower risk of mortality.

"Because of their high magnesium content and low glycemic index, green leafy vegetablesare also valuable for persons with type 2 diabetes. An increase of 1serving per day of green leafy vegetables was associated with a 9 percent lower risk of diabetes. The high level of vitamin K in greens makes them important for the production of osteocalcin, a protein essential for bone health. The risk of hip fracture in middle-aged women was decreased 45% for one or more servings/day of green, leafy vegetables compared to fewer servings.Green vegetables are also a major source of iron and calcium for any diet. . ."

Obviously there is a litany of beneficial elements in these super green foods that get too often ignored. But also, remember that another important consideration, in fact quite possibly the most important consideration is that organic green foods that make up our great tasting green drink supplement are electron rich, making them alkaline and very alkalizing for the body.

Alkaline Greens Drinks for Weight Loss and Fighting Disease

Green electron rich foods are a most effective natural cure for heart dis-ease, MS, osteoporosis, arthritis, diabetes, low energy, gaseous stomach, constipation, IBS, Crohn's and most important cancer. In order to understand how green foods and green drinks really work, any preconceived ideas about nutrition must be put aside.

While green foods contain a number of vitamins, minerals, proteins, electrons, chlorophyll and more, they are actually catalysts that support chemical chain reactions within the body. Most cancers start when incomplete chemical reactions occur during digestion or food transformation, respiration and elimination, which create acidic toxic waste in the body that ultimately interferes with cellular transformation. Each cell by the body processes is liable for replicating itself.

During cellular transformation from liquid food, chromosomes split into chromatides and reassemble into genes. If they can’t match up properly, cellular defects cause aging, bone loss, heart disease and cancer. Green electron rich foods help “maintain the alkaline design of the body” and create an environment where a cancerous condition is unlikely to occur. Low pH or acidity in the colloidal connective tissue is often the root cause of many if not ALL diseases.

It begins when the root system or small intestine is congested or damaged and is not making healthy red blood cells to transform into healthy body cells. In addition the fluids of the body are deprived of alkaline ash food that creates a low alkaline buffer reserve in the interstitial tissue fluids to help maintain the alkaline design of the body. As the alkaline interstitial tissue fluid reserve is “used up” by maintaining the delicate alkaline pH of the blood at 7.365, acidity begins to increase in other organs causing latent tissue acidosis and stressing normal metabolic performance. To buffer the formation of lactic, uric and other damaging acids from food and metabolism, the body will leach calcium from the bones or magnesium from the muscles, or iron from the red blood cells to sodium ions from the plasma to “buffer” and neutralize these acids. Unfortunately this causes bone loss, muscle loss, arthritis and osteoporosis.

Another defensive measure is to store the ammonia acids in the kidneys so as to conserve the alkaline buffer reserve. This ultimately leads to kidney stones, endocrine imbalance and contributes to the cellular stress that leads to cancerous body cells.Of course the ultimate way to create a strong alkaline reserve is to consume alkaline mineral salts and alkaline ash foods and drinks like our powdered greens drink mix, which will in turn balance the pH of the body allowing other important aspects of anti-oxidative defense to be unleashed. However, as important as pH is, it is simply one aspect of green food nutrition, and any cancerous condition is only one of many ailments that green electron rich foods may be helpful in preventing.

Scientists have discovered that green juices increase the oxygenation of the body, purify the blood and organs, assisted in the metabolism of nutrients and counteract acids and toxins. Green juices are the superstars of the nutrition world.”

This paradigm changing revelation has lead many researchers to turn their attention to phyto chemistry, which is the research into plant-based compounds that act as cellular anti-oxidants. Recently a unanimous chorus has gone up from doctors, dietitians and nutritionists to significantly increase the amount of green-pigmented electron rich foods and drinks people get in their diet.The reason being: a huge body of scientific evidence currently indicates that green electron rich foods will be the biggest part of a blood building, blood and tissue detox, disease prevention and life extending pH Miracle diet.

Green Drinks for Cancer Prevention

According to Harvard researchers, probably the most important steps anyone can take to avoid cancer is to consume more deep green-pigmented foods. With cancer rates climbing, researchers noted that such a dietary change must be the first line of defense. At the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in Atlanta, GA, Dr. Tim Byers has seen how adding green foods to every diet can increase cancer prevention dramatically. Studies at the CDC show that people who eat a high fiber, low fat diet can decrease their risk for colon/rectal cancer by less than 10%.

Additionally, adding five servings of greens to the same low fat, high fiber diet the risk fell by nearly 40%. Other studies show a lack of green vegetables increases breast cancer risk nearly 25%, with skin cancer results being very similar. So not only will green drinks and foods lower your cholesterol and facilitate weight loss, but they help prevent all types of cancer and disease. And again, as we evaluate why this is, we return to the chlorophyll so richly found in our greens drink.

Remember the molecular structure of chlorophyll that we touched discussed above. Chlorophyll’s amazing similarity to hemoglobin is the first clue to it’s potential. Form follows purpose. As chlorophyll performs photosynthesis, it is exposed to hours of ultraviolet and radioactive light. As a byproduct of this, damage is done to the plant¹s nucleic acids causing oxidative stress. In reaction, green plants develop an array of unique bioflavanoids that act as blocking agents or others that act as repairing and suppressing agents. Recent research has shown that those green plant activities can be transferred to the humans who consume them. In fact, scientists have documented green plants effect on cellular rejuvenation and the DNA repair in human cells (Hughes and Letner. “Chlorophyll and Hemoglobin Regeneration,” American Journal of Medical Science, 188, 206 (1936)). One study conducted at UC San Diego showed a component of green leaves from young barley plants promoted the repair of DNA significantly in comparison to the control group. This study on how greens can detoxify and repair cells was conducted by a team led by Dr. Hotta and Dr. Kubuta.

Conclusion

Today 83% of Americans who die suffer from a version of a chronic disease, and with life expectancy at an all time high—which can mean years of suffering—it’s high time for change.

In Roman times the average life span was a mere 22 years old, while today people are reaching ages well into the 100s (Jean Colment of France at 122 years old). With 1.2 million Americans diagnosed with cancer in 2009 alone, an aging baby boomer population is running out of time. Today with the scientific validation of green foods as a disease-fighter, the gray generation is now becoming the green generation.

So we all need to eating and drinking our greens. And considering the power of greens, don’t you want to get was much as you can? That’s what Dr. Young was thinking when he created this green energy drink.

None of us can easily sit down to a meal and eat 14 pounds of green vegetables, fruits, and grasses. But with one scoop of our alkaline green drink powder, you’ll get the same benefit as consuming those 14 pounds of greens.

So do your body a favor and drink to your health—drink green.

Our Greens Drink Ingredients:

Avocado, Cucumber, Tomato, Lemon, Lime, Broccoli Sprouts, Spinach, Celery, Parsley, Cabbage, Collard Greens, Okra, Kale, Soy Sprouts, Lemon Grass, Wheat Grass, Barley Grass, Shave Grass, Oat Grass, and Couch Grass.

Green drink is a concentrate of grasses and greens. You may have seen green drink supplements before at your local health food store. You may have heard about them by Tony Robbins in "Get the Edge" and "Living Health." Single-ingredient powders (just wheat grass or alfalfa, for example) may be easier to find, but you should look for a mixture of grasses and vegetables, which are easily assimilated and rapidly alkalizing, and combinations that are naturally rich in fiber, which bind with and remove toxins from the body. Green drink is nutrient rich and helps to pull your blood and tissues from acidic to alkaline, reaching a natural, ideal, pH balance. The grasses and vegetables contained in a greens drink should contain many grasses and vegetables like kamut grass, barley grass, lemon grass, shavegrass, wheat grass, alfalfa leaf, oat grass, soy sprouts, kale, spinach, okra, cabbage, celery, parsley leaf, broccoli, watercress, alfalfa, tomato, peppermint leaf, spearmint leaf, wintergreen leaf, and other similar greens.

ARE YOU A SLAVE TO YOUR TASTE BUDS?


I thought it would be helpful for me to clarify my comments THAT THE BODY RUNS ON electrons NOT SUGAR OR CALORIES.

The point I am making is that we ingest food or liquids for their electrical potential not their caloric value. I have suggested that the body is electric and runs on electrons. The body obtains this electrical life force in the form of electrons from food, water, and especially the sun. Light from the sun is adsorbed and then absorbed into the body and transformed into electricity for energy. Food releases its electricity upon the breaking of its cellular membranes with our teeth. This theory is referred to in part as the electron transport chain in the Krebs or Citric acid cycle. Sugar in any form steals electrons or electricity from the body and causes enervation. Sugar in any of its many forms does not contribute to the electron transport chain nor can it provide in any WAY the transport of electricity. This transport of electricity is carried out by the sodium ion matrix and why the body fluids are salted with sodium ions and NOT sugar. Once again, sugar, including stevia, agave, glycerine, glucose, fructose, maltose, dextrose, sucrose, etc. steal electrical potential and thus energy from the body causing the first stage of acidosis, called enervation. Sugar is a biological waste product of energy consumed and transformed. It is NOT a source of energy for the body. Those who ingest it, even in moderation will be destroyed by it and have become a slave to its addictive flavor.

Celebrity style inspiration: Kylie Minogue

Images: Zimbio

I was reading through Paula Joye’s website www.lifestyled.com.au this morning and came across an article on Kylie Minogue. Paula mentions that she’d forgotten how much she liked looking at photos of Kylie and what she's wearing.  It made me realize that I hadn’t stalked Kylie for outfit inspiration in a while either and to be honest I don’t know why!

Kylie has a style that has evolved faultlessly over the years. She is a master of balancing classic style with just the right touch of a current trend. She’s an expert in lightly accessorizing so that the most basic of outfits is transformed into a flawless ensemble, and at 42 she just seems to keep getting better and better at it.

As you get older (and I'm feeling it at 36) it gets harder to find people in your own age group to look to for outfit inspiration. There are are SO many fashion blogs to look at, and I DO love looking at them, however lately I've been feeling like I'm a decade too late to wear most of the things I see.

Thank you Kylie for your endless inspiration, now that your back on my radar I don't feel so lost!
