Am I suddenly doing a juice cleanse?

Everyone around me is doing the DJ: Dry January. I stood my ground with the bottle. There was already so little festive in my life, you’re not taking my glass away from me too. Alright, I poured my Coppola chardonnay into a small glass and drank tea with it so it was negligible, but not at all? No. There are limits.

But then it turned out that I had already said ‘yes, nice, go ahead’ somewhere in November to a nice PR lady who offered me a three-day cleanse from The Juice Brothers in January. That was still so far away. Moreover, it was a cleanse aimed at a nicer skin and I’m always up for that, because that little skin of mine tends to act up sometimes. Anyway. And suddenly it was January and that three-day juice cleanse was at my doorstep. As you can expect from The Juice Brothers in beautiful bottles with delightful names like Dragon’s Breath, Dutch Spice, Tropical Green, and Vanilla Sky.

So I’m going to do it. I’ve flipped a switch in my head that has gone from ‘what am I doing to myself’ to ‘I deserve this’. There’s a beautiful row of bottles in the fridge that will become my friends today and while I’m typing this, I’m sipping on a glass of boiled water with lemon. I’m softly dreaming about such a delicious latte macchiato and that wine, it can wait. Three little days, that should be doable, right?
