No 12. To detox or not to detox, that is the question

Detoxing has become very hip in the last few years and if you Google ‘detox’ you have the joy of 1,050,000 websites and articles to help you along your way. Some of them I have to say seem very complicated and, well, I don’t work well with complicated. I like simple and straightforward - something that does what it says on the tin. I tried to Google this particular phrase because I couldn’t remember the brand it was affiliated with (who says advertising works....) but what Google turned up was Sally Hansen Lip Inflation which threw me somewhat because I always thought the phrase was something to do with DIY. Maybe Sally Hansen has diversified in the years since I last used her, but I can’t say I have seen her particular brand in B&Q but when you think about it, women’s cosmetics are pretty much personal DIY and as the years go by I find I am having to re-point and rub down the faceurs with increasing regularity.

But it is an interesting phenomenon, detoxing, and it’s cast off as a fad most of the time, but what I do know is when I tried it myself in August 2003 (I remember quite precisely), I have to say it had pretty brilliant results. Better memory, glowing skin and enhanced sex drive being just three of the benefits (and who is going to argue with that?). I am not sure why I haven’t tried it again. Maybe because since then I’ve found plenty of detox regimes which include grapes ......but none which include wine?
