Oh, yes, you know what I’m talking about. And not in that, “Curses, foiled again!” kinda way. We’re all bad girls (and boys) deep down. Don’t get me wrong – I think this is a good thing. The only problem is when it becomes a choice between being a bad girl and being healthy. This, in a nutshell, is my continuous problem, challenge, thorn in my side, whathaveyou. Has been (not as in I’m a has-bin…you know what I mean) since about age 24. Ok, it actually was even before then, but that’s when I first began to realize it. Hey, drinking a lot of alcohol isn’t good for my mental stability! Eating a lot of sugar, whether that be cookies and ice cream or lots of yummy fruit, jacks me up and then down! Jazz hands!

You know I had to go there. We all need a little reminder here and there about how to take care of ourselves during this jolly, giving season which is truly about…consuming as much alcohol, sugar, and refined goodies as possible.

Hey, HEY – wait! At least take this probiotic before you head out the door, and maybe a shot of some liver-protecting herbs, like Herb Pharm Healthy Liver Tonic, a personal fav. Don’t forget to take some more (most people put it in water, I’m a straight out of the bottle kinda gal) before you go to bed. If you are still listening, here are some other health tips so that January 1 doesn’t feel like a toilet seat imprint on your cheek from sleeping on it ’til six in the morning.

Need some belly lovin’? How about a little swish swish of those insides (oh, especially come January 1?).
