Well, well, wellness
Oh my goodness it is September already! One blink and poof, August came and went. So what's been happening? What's new pussycat?
On The Riviera Woman we really like to focus on well-being, feeling good and making the most of yourself. It was a great honour to host the Paddle for Pink event on behalf of Pink Ribbon Monaco. It is such hard wok creating these important events, and credit goes to the Pink Ribbon team. The rewards and benefits are essential for raising awareness and we all believe that prevention is key to saving lives. Priceless!
“Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.” - George Bernard Shaw.
We should all enjoy everything that is around us, have fun and surround ourselves with people and friends that make us feel good too. To be healthy is to feel healthy, in mind and body. We really are so so very lucky to live where we do and to have so many choices, so live life to the absolute fullest! Yes!
