This may not be an official holiday but it is something a
lot of people celebrate with feats of Irish food and green beer. I grew up celebrating with a pot of gold
placed in the living room filled with gold wrapped candy, corn beef, mashed
potatoes and soda bread. As an adult, I
like to throw in my own new traditions by adding green makeup and accessories
to the mix and alcohol. Of course, I
want you to act responsibility when it comes to the makeup, accessories and
booze but remember to have fun with it.
It is a day to let go of your everyday worries and socialize, make new
friends or even find that special someone.
Themed parties are great places to meet new people and loved ones.
This is
a great opportunity to throw a party with great decorations. Do not feel as if you need to spend in excess
to decorate. Most dollar stores or store
like them have great options that you can end up recycling or reusing the next
year. I love throwing a great party and
bringing people together. Plus, this is
a great way to have a no-stress mixer for your single friends to mix and
mingle. The menu can be simple and
healthy too. You can incorporate green
veggies and green goddess dressing instead of the usual onion dip. Don’t forget about dark green leaves for a nice
healthy salad. Who says you have to have
heavy, fattening meals to have a good party?
There are plenty of green options you can configure to be a part of this
party. If you want to use traditional
Irish food, there are numerous ways to prepare the food in a more healthy
way. You can use red potatoes instead of
regular white potatoes as an example. It
tastes just as great too! The same rules
apply to your drink menu. Be creative in
your selections and create your own concoction to go along with the theme of
the party. If you plan on going out,
remember to set a budget not only for your wallet but for your health and
wellness. While it is very tempting to
take advantage of the endless pitchers of green beer or whatever else you fancy,
your body and wallet will pay the ultimate price. Moderation is the key!
Remember to have fun, smile, and put your best foot forward
on this greenest of holidays!
