10 LETTER FROM THE EDITOR GET THE BALANCE RIGHT Do you want to know what I love about this time of year? Office Christmas parties. The much-maligned OCP is the great equaliser. After a year of colleagues and bosses and minions you know where you squeeze into the queue the OCP is where everyone else gets to gang up and avoid being around those people who use embarrassing work-speak like let s take this offline. Don t think that s embarrassing? Then you re that person. Go and pour yourself a big drink right now. And pull yourself together. I ve been to enough OCPs in my many reindeer-antlered years to have rules about such Champers-soaked shindigs. Well, rule, really it s singular. Want to hear it? Never be the first or last to leave. The first-to-leaves, while dignified and possibly a little smug about their truly excellent life choices, have never ever in The Unabridged History Of All That Is Sacred About Parties been missed and, worse, they get none of The Good Stuff. The last-to-leaves, well, those guys usually are The Good Stuff. You, being a smart, not-entirely sensible woman with superpingy glutes (Thanks Women s Health. Wasshappenin Beyoncé?), want to pitch yourself somewhere towards the late middle. It s specific, but you can thank me later... Want to know why else you ll be thanking me? Because it s December and we ve cut you a bit of slack. Instead of making you take your hot Spandexed butt off to gym, our team took to the water and DANIELLE What the team did this month at WomensHealthSA.co.za DO GRAB A FRIEND AND HIT THE TRAILS, LIKE FOOD ED AMY DID AT THE WARRIOR 7. GET YOUR TRAIL TRAINING PLAN ON THE SITE. has compiled a blistering line-up of H 2 O activities for you instead. This way you can torch kilojoules, keep cool and have an excuse to wear a metallic wetsuit. In fairness, the last part of that statement might just be me... I am completely in lust with neoprene. I think it must have something to do with the fact that I spent all of my formative fashion years living in a land-locked city (Valley of the Waves apparently doesn t count, people of Jozi), so, now that I am officially coastal, I can t get enough of wanting to shoehorn myself into high-tech beach wear Vorsprung durch technik and all that. It s a bit of a double-edged sword, because if you re fully specced on the beach the body-oiled equivalent of a Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta there s a lingering expectation that you ll be partaking in something sporty, like our feature tells you to do. That s where our deputy ed, Wanita, and I are different. She really will be headstanding on the water s edge and perfecting her pullups at the adjacent playground. I just want to stretch out on a towel in the sand, reading something of deliciously questionable provenance. Fortunately, life is about nothing if not balance. Happy holidays.
