Do you have a wish list?

Do you have a wish list? A series of things that you feel you must do or experience in your life time? Many people just don’t have the time to make their dreams and desires happen, and that was one of the driving forces behind the creation of The SaVVy Club^®. I believe in living life to the full and making every moment count; life is too short not to.  I One never knows what is lurking around the corner, which is why it’s important to seize opportunities when they happen.  When my time comes, I don’t want to have any regrets.

Here’s my wish list – my top 20 life goals:

1. Visit at least five of the Seven Wonders of the World – so far I’ve only been to Machu Picchu and the Taj Mahal.
2. After learning about the death of Charlton Heston recently, I want to watch the top 50 Academy award winning movies.  
3. Experience the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights)
4. Sponsor the education of a child in the 3^rd world
5. Take a hot air balloon ride (and drink champagne) over the Serengeti
6. Fly to the moon and experience weightlessness  
7. Experience the Rio Carnival
8. Send my husband the message ‘I love you’ by skywriting
9. Win the National Lottery Rollover whilst I’m still relatively young and able to enjoy it
10. Follow in the footsteps of my late godmother, Roshan Sadri by starting my own Charity to help disadvantaged children.
11. Learn to cook ‘real’ food like Delia Smith
12. Experience giving birth and breast feeding
13. Save someone’s life by mouth to mouth resuscitation
14. Find a long lost friend called ‘Lorraine Miller’, who used to live in Naphill.
15. Expand The SaVVy Club^® into every continent around the world
16. Organise a memorable social event for The Royal Family
17. Discover a new gem stone and name it “kimite” (after myself, of course)
18. Meet and shake hands with Nelson Mandela
19. Win an award for innovation
20. Organise a massive party to celebrate my 50^th wedding anniversary

Carnival

Carnival!

There is something about summer, heat, and holidays that makes people want to dress up in weird and wonderful costumes, scream ‘aaaiiiiiieeeeee!’ from the top of their voices all whilst dancing around on garishly decorated lorry trailers. No, its not City bonus day – its carnival season! We have all seen pictures of the wonderful events in Rio and our very own Notting Hill – the colour, the excitement, the energy, the atmosphere…there is just something about a carnival that sets everyone in a good mood.It’s a time to let your hair down and party like you’ve never partied before.

Now, (here’s the very short history lesson) the tradition of carnivals originally came from the urge to have as big a party as possible before the Lent fasting began. Which leads us very nicely to the subject of food; think of a carnival and you’ll think of costumes and dancing and everyone having a wonderful time and, most of all, huge amounts of fun. But that usually means that the food available is fun too.

No room for limp lettuce and its fellow salad partners with low fat mayonnaise.Oh no, we are talking cholesterol city – sky-scraping burgers and hot dogs. Basically it is the food every waist-line has nightmares about.  So how on earth are we meant to stay slim and party? Well, here are a few hints that may just help. Why not try substituting the burgers for a light sandwich which will contain far less fat and a shed-load less calories.

Also avert your eyes when presented with displays of sugary deserts and ice cream; if you can’t see them, you can’t be tempted by them. Whatever you do, don’t forget the hidden calories in drinks too. Instead of alcohol or fizzy drinks, have water or even that British favourite – a nice cup of tea (without sugar, obviously).

Follow these tips and you will party and still remain slender, virtuous, incredibly self conscious and sober. Of course, the other option is to totally ignore all advice, eat, drink and be merry whilst dancing furiously in a style that your father would be proud of and you’ll burn off so many calories you will probably end up slimmer than when you started! Marvellous, I know which option I prefer.

Perhaps you know of an even better method of surviving the carnival season. Do you have any handy hints, tips or even stories that you would like to share with one and all? Go on; spread a little happiness especially for those of us unfortunate enough not to have been caught up in the party atmosphere.
