Smiling: The Spice Of Happy Living!

Smile... for the experience is near...!

Smile in front of the mirror first, though...

Because we never have enough time 

to take proper care of our pearly whites 

(and overall mouth)

ourselves...! 

Just imagine the countless hours of pure, 

unadulterated fun we will have devoted, 

throughout our lives, 

to taking proper care of our 

smile!
Once that is done, there is no reason not to smile! 

August 6th is National Fresh Breath Day

in several countries, in many time zones...

so... SMILE! 
It brightens the day - ours and everyone else's! 
It brings joy - inside and outwardly! 
There are more than 365 reasons to smile, too; 
there must be a 1000 reasons - or more, actually!
Just do it: SMILE!

But you have to be prepared to smile, first... 

No mouthwash allowed: as all of them contain alcohol 

which makes the mouth dry, 

and an ideal festering ground, then, 

for the bad breath bacteria...

Mass-marketing's Fresh Breath Mints 

are also to be proscribed:

as the sugar contained in those things 

actually helps anaerobic bacteria 

to thrive and flourish in your mouth

Lots and lots of water instead: 

as it will help replenish 

a naturally oxygen-rich saliva 

that will in turn assist in killing 

all anaerobic bad breath bacteria, 

even the sulfur-producing variety

that thrives on sugar...

Finally, you've heard it plenty of times 

at the dentist's office 

and on the oral hygienist's chair: 

floss daily, as it combats plaque, 

the premiere breeding ground 

for bad breath bacteria - 

and bacteria, period! 

You may even want to do like Ali Wentworth 

and have your tongue scraped - finally!

Living Is Eating - Well!

Living is EATING - and to eat right, you must eat HEALTHY. In order to eat healthy, you must carefully (did I merely say "carefully" here? I meant to type up "meticulously" - of course!) choose, select, handpick your ingredients - and those must be the finest of ingredients available to you, indeed! And this selection of ingredients and nutrients, the way that you cook and prepare them, as well as the quality -again, for it cannot be stressed enough- of said ingredients, must be, hence, impeccable - in other words, it must be LUMINOUS!  For nothing must be left to chance here: you are what you eat and so, if you want to be the best that you can be, you have to consume only the best things too!

And that is where my forthcoming book, LUMINOUS RECIPES, comes in!

Not only will it advise you where to pick and choose your food - it will show you how to be picky in the first place! Not only will it advise you how to cook those finest of nutrients, too, but it will guide you step-by-step on how to do so *and* further suggest what goes best with the meal that you just prepared...!

And not only will this book be luminous in every way - it will come chock-full of splendid photos to whet your appetite and challenge you to come up with an even better presentation than the one you'll be ogling at! What's more, we challenge you to make pictures to top our own and when and if they do, they will be included in future editions of the book! Our LUMINOUS RECIPES book being an e-book, it will be easy to incorporate any and all of your pictures into the next edition of the book!

Now, as some sort of preview, we could always leave you with just some of the many delicious/luminous dishes that you can find in the LUMINOUS RECIPES book: Luminous Bucatini, Luminous Seafood, Luminous Breaded Chicken Breasts, the Luminous Tea Blend, the Luminous Summertime Salad...  you get the idea now... and, of course, The Luminous Pizza!

All that and much, much more - mangiare!

And what better than to leave you with some culinary visuals that are simply... well... luminous, what else?!?

Sempre Por O Melhor!

Living Is *Not* Only Skin Deep, You Know...

Hence, one has to feel GOOD about one's skin... hair... looks... in order to enjoy LIVING!

It's all just another wonnnnnnnnderful aspect of the damnable rat race, if you ask MOI...! But that would be an entirely different story, now...

Whether you're a devout subscriber to homemakers.com and Men's Health Magazine - or not - surely you can appreciate the good intentions of all of these kind folks trying to impress you while trying to impress upon you some sensible and tried methods to clean up your act!

The exterior has to look sharp, sure.
And the interior has to be properly fed so that it can reflect on the outside immediately - the skin, hair, overall figure; everything will improve when you're healthy since it all works from the inside out...!

We all know that!

But what about the true insides of you?
What about the soul...!

There are some Chicken Soups for the soul available out there - recipe books like so many others - guru sold separately!

However, when you truly seek to improve things with yourself - within yourself - you have to look for something else entirely...

Ironically, the first place you look is... within yourself.

That voice within your conscience, within your heart - it will guide you, better than anything else, trust me on that!

Note that, ''that voice within yourself'' that I speak of is not to be emanating from your rational thought. It is not your intellect prowess nor is it conscious thought. It can be triggered by some memories, but it is not to be solely motored by nostalgia or emotion alone either.

Because that voice will be the voice of your soul indeed: the one eternal portion of your entire being.

And, believe you me, it carries a hell of a lot more weight than any earthly concerns - in the long run...

Beauty, youth, strength - it all fades away.
In time - time, the ravager...

But now see: what is forever, that energy inside of you that animates it all for you - that will never wither, weaken or fade away.

I'd listen to *it* more -much more- than to *them* if I were you...!

À Bon Entendeur - Salut!
Sempre Por O Melhor
