12 days to Christmas- hope for those still not yet in shape.

let me suggest how to get fit and beautiful for Christmas. before the feasting begins.
forget crash diets. forget dieting for that matter. diets are only for losers who believe in them. diets are only for people with low self-esteem.
i say have your meals. and exercise.
because it's THIS close to christmas, i have no time for the gym (haha. blushes. bad excuse). assuming all of you are busy folk like me, i recommend BINGE SHOPPING. i've been doing it for about 4 days straight, 6 hours each time.

if you have, like me, experienced a personal shopping drought for the past week/mth, shop madly NOW. when next week comes around, there'll be too many parties to attend. then you'll end up getting very mediocre and thoughtless gifts for loved ones and friends. NO-NO.

because it's the rainy season, you can be assured that you will experience a variety of workouts besides walking. you will work your calves cos there'll be plenty of tip-toeing to do to avoid puddles. you will work your arms cos of (duh) the many bags you'll be carrying (which looks so fashionably festive!). you will work your eyeballs cos you'll be very kaypoh and try to see what other people have purchased. you will work your legs and butt when you sprint your way home (this only works when you DON'T carry an unbrella. so either you run like mad or get wet. run like mad. trust me. not glam but it's ok. next week PLENTY of chances to glam it up.) so that's an all-rounded workout for you there.

to achieve a VERY desirable seasonal glow, don't buy into the facial hype. or microdermabrasion or whatnot. young skin acquires radiance easily. the above workouts will guarantee a healthy flush. on top of that, give. to the salvation army, to the buskers (rmb to bypass a particular one tho. ok? rmb!), to the students holding the collection tins. you'll feel good abt yourself. this will add to your wonderful face a sparkle in your eyes. like diamonds. imagine that! diamond-like eyes to complement your jewel-toned outfits.

christmas is SO rich. in every sense of the word. it is truly the best time of the year.
see you at the shops!
