Water is the new wine

I have a crazy hangover. Something with a dinner (here by the way, you find the nicest restaurants of Jet) with former colleagues, an infinity bottle of Lacoucette (my favorite by the way, it's just that I have a hangover, otherwise my mouth would be watering again), a dessert in the form of a white Burgundy and another drink on the sidewalk of a gay café in the form of a gin and tonic.

Goodness, what can a person do to themselves. So we're done with that. At least today. At least until five o'clock. Just kidding. Really. I'm going to the water. My new mission is to make water hip. So hip that we no longer need wine.

Not just for myself by the way, but also for the kids. Do you know how many children in the Netherlands are overweight? Well, I don't know exactly and I'm too hungover to look it up (and I have to laugh out loud at myself now, also a sign of the utmost state of hangover), but it's a lot. And do you know how much sugar is in juice boxes? Same answer. I don't know exactly, but it's definitely too much.

When I'm in Italy, we always order two bottles of water. And wine, that too. One with bubbles and one without. My daughters drink it without hesitation. So when I got home, I immediately took the proverbial bull by the horns. What if we stop with those juice boxes and you just take water to school? Of course, a nice water, in a nice bottle. The eye wants something too, and otherwise, I feel like I'm just slacking off as a mother, lunch-wise.

I hope you join in. Because water is healthy. And good for the skin. And tasty. Really. Pour it into a wine glass and just imagine a grape with it. Cheers. And if you feel just like I do today; here a piece that explains how to get rid of your hangover.
