Dear people, HOW do you feel today?
Hangover? Or are you actually okay, because you didn't overdo it or just because you were in bed by 8 o'clock, having been drinking since around 11 in the morning.

You might want to check if there’s any bread, cheese, and ham left in the kitchen from the toasties you sold yesterday. Or maybe some leftover pasta salad from lunch (because you obviously had to lay a huge foundation). Maybe you only find empty beer cans, half-full plastic champagne flutes with cheap prosecco, and empty (forgotten to return) deposit beer glasses.

I just came across a Polaroid photo in my bag, which helped me remember a bit more of yesterday. Early in the morning, I started with an extensive breakfast, with friends at my door. After that, we danced in the sun for hours with bottles of homemade cocktails in our bags somewhere in the Jordaan. We cheered at people who managed to get through the crowd on a bike or scooter, here and there I got splashed with beer, and my phone battery was already dead by 2 PM, but that didn't matter at all. Guys, what a beautiful party it was. But unfortunately, you are never really richly rewarded for such a day. On the contrary, I was punished hard. With a hangover.

The very best advice is first: get out of bed. Seriously, you have to get up. Lying in bed for too long is pointless because then you’ll never get over your hangover. Take a shower, but not too hot. That always makes me feel slower. So turn the tap a little colder. You’ll really feel better. Wash your hair, slather yourself with cream, put on clean clothes (in my case, that’s a legging and an oversized sweater today) and call your friends to discuss the whole day.

Tip two: on a day like today, don’t pay attention to your diet. Be a little nice to yourself. So go ahead and eat something fatty and do that outside (then you’re immediately in the fresh air, which helps too). Eating fatty food doesn’t have to be unhealthy at all. I’m going to Le Pain Quotidien or the Vlaamsch Broodhuys for delicious brown sandwiches with fried eggs, or with salmon and cream cheese. That’s really good hangover food. Drink a diet cola or a tonic. That’ll really perk you up.

As a final tip: I understand if you don’t feel like doing very active things today and would rather just hang out at home. But do turn on the television at four o'clock. Because AmayzineTV is of course the most fun to watch today. 16:00 RTL5.
