We know what we should do to live a healthier lifestyle, but we don’t always do it. We indulge in red meat and chocolate mousse, we lie in bed for another hour instead of going to a workout class, and we shneak shmigarettes with friends when we’re out having drinks. Yes, yes—we should be taking better care of ourselves, especially at our—ahem—advanced age, but sometimes it feels good to be bad. (Shhh! Don’t tell anyone.) Still, it’s time to get those buns in gear. Resolutions are out the window and 2011 is in full swing, so we hope that the amazing offerings from this week’s Treat Yourself Right issue will inspire you to try something healthier, happier, and more productive. Get a new perspective and change your life… maybe in just a teensy tiny way, but definitely for the better. Enjoy! Portland Picks’ Treat Yourself Right Guide: |
