world nutella day 2010

yes, you read it right!
why didn’t i know about this sooner? not that it would have mattered, i mean, everyday is nutella day for me!
forever i have resisted the temptation to buy the humongo jar (6.6 pounds, no joke) at the italian shop in chelsea market. i worry i am just one pre-menstrual cycle, heartbreaking romantic comedy away from devouring the whole thing in one sitting. would that be so bad?
anyway, i share this with you because things are tough in the world right now. everyone is doing what they can to make things better, but you also need to remember to practice self-care.
yes, self-care.
and no, losing your head down a ginormous jar of nutella is not what i mean. but, i do think any excuse to assemble your best buds, have some laughter, give some hugs & yes, a slather of nutella–well, that’s good enough for me.
maybe you need a quick 10 minute chair massage, or buy that fancy olive oil you love, or a nice scented candle or whatever you need to do for you. reprioritizing things, recognizing boundaries that need to be renegotiated, learning to say “no”–taking CARE of yourSELF.
for me, come february 5th, i hope to be surrounded by my nearest & dearest with a nutella moustache on my face! life is too short, hard, complicated. create opportunities to re/connect with people in your life–have a party just ’cause.
PS
be sure to check out the world nutella day website…the recipe list is phenomenal–although, i am a purist!
