Clicking through my favourite high fashion monthly’s website this morning, I happened upon their top tip of the week for living well – it was quinoa. Oh honey no. Quinoa is the devil’s work and whilst you might be living well on it, it is essentially frogspawn.
And so I got to thinking (Carrie Bradshaw voice), what would I suggest for living happy and fabulous as I try to do. Daily positive thinking and fun having takes a vast amount of effort, and sometimes is an unreachable goal in the face of natural disasters or just bad hair. I have had bad hair every day for the best part of a decade, and thus I am very aware of the challenge it presents to mental wellbeing. However, back to the matter at hand. What is this week’s tip for living fabulously, I hear you ask? Well. Obviously, it is CHAMPAGNE OR SIMILARLY FIZZING BEVERAGES! I would suggest that you drink champagne or its cheaper sister prosecco as often as possible – even one glass will lift your mood. Two glasses and you’ll feel entirely fabulous, a whole bottle and you will be living. Just living. I limit myself to two glasses on weekdays, two bottles on weekend nights (that is entirely a lie – last night I felt very myself so had several bottles). I would give you some special way to drink it but obviously there are only three ways: from a glass, from the bottle, or by splashing it over your chest. In the words of someone, “All I do is throw champagne over my tits” (that someone is me). If you’re strapped for cash, you can save money by eating only canapés. Anyway that is this week’s tip. I will spend the next week ruminating constantly on other ways to live a happy life. Until then, kisses.
