IT’S ALL ABOUT FEELING FAB in FEB!

There is one resolution many women aim for the year to come - feeling and looking our best! And perhaps it works in January, but come February, the intention is still there but the motivation does fizzle out a bit.

But what if I tell you that YOU can absolutely do things for yourself even with chaos around you. It’s the little things in life that can perk you up and make you feel FAB in FEB!

My two most favorite things in the morning are coffee and eye bag patches. It’s ME time. And I love it! I’m then ready to face the world. My next favorite: audiobooks. We all do house chores, loading and unloading a dishwasher, doing laundry. They are necessary but mindless and need to be done. Why not make it you time? Choose a show or a podcast, anything that you love and your heart desires and it becomes more entertaining. 

Now, let’s talk about food. I give seminars and help women lose weight and to stay on track with nutrition. I don’t believe in diets and I don’t believe in starvation! The minute you tell yourself “I’m on a diet,” your brain tricks you and now you are in hungry mode. I believe you must treat your body like a good, expensive car on a daily basis. To run that FAB body of yours, you need good fuel. But like any car, at times, you can fuel it up with something down a grade. Why not? So once a week, praise FAB YOU, I don’t mean with a piece of dark chocolate, because guess what, dark chocolate is great for you. And I certainly don’t mean a glass of wine, because guess what, red wine is good for you, in moderation. And I most definitely don’t mean bread, because a sourdough toast with avocado is FAB for you. Avocado does wonders for your skin, especially during winter and dry air. What I mean is overprocessed stuff. Heck if you love those chips, have a small bag and enjoy. You deserve it. And, if you are craving pasta, I hate to burst your bubble, but if pasta is made from semolina flour, it is not a cheat food, it can easily be a few nights a week meal, in moderate proportions. Semolina is high in protein and fiber; and contains essential minerals like iron and magnesium. And, if you want something FAB in FEB for your kids, subscribe to my first show, it’s FREE, Cooking around the world with Chef Sofya on YouTube @ Chef Sofya. 

Enjoy being FAB YOU. Don’t ever deprive yourself of YOU time, because you are FAB.

La Dolce Vita!!

Until next month.
