#Lovemyaft

In just over a week, I'm going on vacation and I'm partly ready for it and partly not at all (this this is going in my suitcase, in case you're curious). My mind is really ready for it, for example, and I've got all my favorite freelancers working, so I can take a break from the administration and only dive into writing when I really, really, really have something big and captivating to share.

My body is not yet completely bikini-proof (and definitely not Ibiza bikini-proof), but I'm throwing a three-day Detox Delight at it this week (do you know that? It's really amazing) and then that should be reasonably in order. Who is completely ready to rumble is my aft. Yes, that's right, a sore in your mouth that in my case is about 1 by 1 centimeter in size (which is large in your mouth) and always cheerfully shows up during our summer vacation. If possible, it also brings its friends along, because everything is, even in the life of an aft, just so lonely. The more the merrier apparently applies to them too. I've complained about it for years, but now I've decided to embrace the aft. And here's why.

1. Full lips without fillers

All that cheerfulness in my mouth makes my lips swell, making it seem as if I've been on the filler drip against all my principles. Thank you!

”I do try bites, but I'm in agony”

2. At my slimmest in all vacation photos

Because of those cheerful friends in my mouth, even those fried anchovies, the bread with aioli, the roasted prawns, and the olives don't taste good. I do try bites, but I'm in agony. Result: at my slimmest in the photo albums. And let's be honest, later you really forget that you were in agony, but you do have those photos to show your descendants. Just look how beautiful grandma still looked at 43...

3. No one gets tired of me

On vacation, you have all the time to organize your thoughts and have an opinion about everything. There are people who have ‘I have no judgment about that’ as a middle name, but I don't belong to that club. I have opinions about everything. But now even talking hurts, so I listen. Sometimes that's nice too.

4. Good reason to go to New York

I've scoured all the pharmacies in Italy, France, and Spain, but the only good medicine for canker sores I found in New York. I gave it to our shopping editor Lilian and it helped her too. I put one in my suitcase (for when I really can't stand the pain anymore, because so far the aft has only had advantages) and then I can go straight to New York in September for a fresh supply. And then I'm going to these ten secret addresses by the way, also check out right away.

So you see, every disadvantage has an insane amount of advantages. #lovemylife #lovemyaft
