Hot Chick Algebra for Better Balance
By Jodi Lipper & Cerina Vincent
Our new book, Live Like a Hot Chick, is all about balance, and this week we've put our message in mathematical terms to help you start living a more confident, calm, and harmonious life. Start applying these equations to your day, and we bet you'll be better off.
1.Working ten hours a day at a job you hate + cleaning your house every Sunday + feeling like you never have time for you = Setting a plan in stone to go to yoga class and have brunch with a group of girlfriends every weekend.
2.An apple with almond butter for breakfast + a spinach salad for lunch + 1 spin class after work = Two glasses of champagne + a hunk of brie cheese + five buttery crackers + four fried appetizers at your best friend's engagement party.
3.Clearing off your kitchen counter + shredding the dirty old receipts from your purse, car, and desk + putting those piles of old photos in cute photo boxes = A mind temporarily free from OWL (Overwhelmed With Life) Syndrome.
4.Waking up alone after hooking up with a hot guy who snuck out before sunrise = Chocolate cake for breakfast while you watch The Bachelorette on your TiVo.
5.Dirty dishes in the sink + unpaid bills on your table + just getting back from a week-long hellish business trip = Ignoring the mess for one night while you relax on the couch with a glass of wine and American Idol.
6.The stress of looking for a new job after having a baby + feeling LSE (Low Self Esteem) about not fitting into your pre-pregnancy suit = Buying a new suit + shoes + accessories that fit you perfectly and make you feel like a Hot Chick
7.Three rum & cokes + two beers + the Taco Bell drive through at 3:00 a.m. = A gallon of water and a giant spinach salad for breakfast when you wake up at noon with indigestion and a headache.
8. An early morning meeting that lasts until 1 p.m. + a fight with your man the night before = A lunchtime spinning class to clear your head and blow off steam.
9.Complaining about how there are "no good men out there" + sleeping with every first date = Not finding love until you stop sending out confusing slutty vibes and figure out what you want.
10.Surprising your man with compliments and sexy lingerie + working hard to live within your means and put some money in savings each month + throwing your best friend a baby shower = Living like a Hot Chick.
