Recently I was out with a friend for dinner.
She ordered salad with no dressing, steamed fish and still mineral water. She said 'no' to wine, 'no' to champagne and 'no' to dessert. None of this was an issue, except that she looked unhappy and miserable with everything she put in her mouth.
It's one thing to be healthy and happy, it is another story to deny yourself everything and anything that puts a smile on your face. I know champagne isn't up there on the health list, but it is bubbly and a bit of fun. Drink a glass and you smile; drink another and your laugh might start competing with the bubbles!
Personally I don't believe that life should be so restrictive that we exclude everything that makes us smile. So the next time you hear the cork pop, let it remind you that allowing ourselves to enjoy life's simple pleasures on occasion can be extremely healthy. So give yourself permission to enjoy the odd delectable pleasure without guilt.
Sometimes our food choices can be about pure joy rather than just calories!

My Definition of REAL BEAUTY is…
B alance in life unfolds from the inside out
E nthusiasm lies within the way you think and feel about yourself and life
A cceptance is the path to making peace with yourself and others
U nderstanding who we are gives us clarity and wisdom
T rust attunes your heart and mind to know what you want
Y ou possess BEAUTY and all that it takes to create the life and love you deserve
‘Beauty is about feeling more, healing more, living more and loving more’
