9 Ways to Stay in the Pink

I like to scan a pretty large horizon when looking for new ideas and inspirations, so when a client sent me a copy of a new magazine called Pink ("finally a magazine for professional women!" it says on the cover) I figured why not?!

Well, the articles didn't interest me, the advertisements didn't resonate for me, and the affect of the whole thing kept screaming, "You are NOT the target market, Barry." But as there's usually something in everything, I kept turning pages to see what I'd see and, lo and behold, I found myself stopping at a section called, healthyself.

Now I don't mind admitting that the reason it caught my attention was because I couldn't tell (or decide) if it was supposed to be read as heal-thyself or healthy-self. Both ways worked, which I found kind of interesting. And right about then, a side bar caught my attention. It was titled, 9 Ways to Stay Sharp. Here's what they were:

1. Chew.
2. Socialize.
3. Drink Coffee.
4. Dance.
5. Think.
6. Meditate.
7. Take Vitamin C.
8. Eat Fish.
9. Take Ibuprofin.

I was going to include the explanations for each of the nine, but then thought it might be more interesting to simply have them stand on their own. So there you have it.

As for me, I'm off to get a cup of coffee and maybe chew a couple of Motrin!
