#Live Right AT Night …. Hangover Tips for St. Patty’s Day … Drink and Recover Right At Night
Oh yes ladies and gents it’s that time of the week again … the WEEKEND!! And this weekend is extra special because not only is March 17th my daddy’s birthday, Happy Birthday Dad, it’s also St. Patrick’s Day! I have a feeling you may be out partying into the wee hours of Monday Morning. Here’s a few hangover tips to help you Drink Right At Night so you can actually make it into the office on Monday morning.
BEFORE:
- Hydrate & eat something – begin your night of partying on a full stomach!
- Know how you’re getting home before you leave the house – have a plan that is safe and secure that you won’t have to think about while out celebrating.
- Prepare for your arrival home & the morning after: eye cream and bottled water in the fridge, alarm clock set for Monday!
- Avoid any green body glitter, hair color or anything else that will impress at a parade but not in the office!
DURING:
- Match each pint of beer or mysterious green cocktail with a tall glass of water. Or switch to soda water & lime to stay sober no one has to know it’s not a cocktail.
- Have a buddy! Who will keep you in check and make sure you have a safe trip home.
AFTER:
- When you arrive home REHYDRATE with water or coconut water – get potassium & other electrolytes back into your body!
- Prep your face for The Morning After- wash, hydrate, & use your fab face creams!
- Sleep with an elevated pillow to relieve eye puffiness!
The Monday After:
- Keep the hydration going: include water & natural fruit juices like cranberry or apple juice to put natural sugars back into your body.
- Don’t skip breakfast:
- Try wholegrain bread – a great source of detoxifying B vitamins!
- Eggs – are packed with cysteine which can help clean up leftover toxins from alcohol in your body.
- HOLD the COFFEE – that Cup o’Joe you normally have in the AM will dehydrate you more. Wait a while before having coffee, tea, or other caffeinated beverages.
- Toss a banana in your bag for a natural potassium boost! Enjoy it as a snack especially if you still don’t feel fab after breakfast.
Have a wonderful St. Patrick’s Day and don’t kiss every blarney guy (stone) you meet at the bar.
Wishing you a fabulous weekend & St. Patty’s Day!
Smooches,
