Let me guess, your good intentions of keeping those Easter eggs ‘safe’ for the children so they don’t eat them all at once, have ended in sabotage and you have secretly indulged in more chocolate than you care (or dare) to remember...Not only that, there are screwed up sweet wrappers beneath every cushion, sofa and child’s bed that exists in your home.
Your chocolate hangover is so powerful that you can barely muster the strength, nor will, to do anything in particular as your once effective diet and fitness regime fades into a distant memory in your fuzzy, wuzzy ‘chocolated’ brain.
It all sounds far too familiar, but for me, Easter is less about going up a dress size than it is about losing my teeth. Yes, it’s a time of year that I particularly associate with extra dental hygiene following an early brush with tooth rot. Well, not quite. My one and only filling was dislodged in a painful bout with a frozen Mini Mars bar many years ago and I have been super cautious ever since. There’s nothing quite like the lightening bolt of pain that shoots through your head when you expose a nerve. Ouch. I would much rather acquire a spare tyre than suffer such agony again - and duly make sure my children are wary of it too!
Don’t worry, I have not frightened them enough to prevent the scoffing of several Easter eggs at 100mph. Yet.
Anyway...if you have overindulged and are feeling a little bit guilty, just remember that Easter isn’t just about chocolate. It’s about new beginnings (that diet?) forgiveness (of yourself for eating all those goodies) and starting afresh (a top to toe spring clean maybe?)
So, here’s the plan…
-
Stay strong! Ignore the temptation of delightfully packaged Easter eggs that you may or may not be ‘hiding’.
-
Put those chocolate comas behind you. Enjoy the early morning sunshine and re-discover that spring in your step!
-
Refresh, reorganise and rejuvenate your home with super storage and beautiful accessories.
