Z is for Zest!

When I was still blossoming into adulthood, our local Cosmopolitan had a supplement from time to time called Zest.

The first one I encountered was the one which stayed with me. On its cover was the photo of a model in a setting which came to symbolize for me all the meanings contained in the word zest: alive, passionate, active, charming, spirited …

The fact that the word could also be used for the perfumed outer layer of citrus fruit just made sense to me 100%.

Though I no longer read Cosmo, I still have that cover – and yes, it is the one here, for your perusing pleasure. =)

It reminds me of what I aim for:

to be ALIVE,

energetic,

joyful,

adventurous,

sexy,

grateful,

inspiring,

beautiful.

To turn my life into an experience which awakens the senses and sparks the mind … like the luscious, lively smell of lemons.
