Hennessy New Irish Writing, May 2017: Eat Yourself Beautiful

After Rosanna Davison

Try my
chai spiced
vanilla quinoa
almond butter
banana porridge.

Nothing with
gluten
dairy
meat
or refined sugar
passes these
crème de nude lips.

Perfect peachy morning for
pilates and a
post workout brekkie.
Then pop down to BTs
for a fresh mani,
hectic week ahead.
Can't even.

Pomeranians
on each wrist,
walkies in Wicklow
and cuddles
in our jammies
at the doggy spa.

Few bevies in
my embellished kimono,
cheeky selfies
and naughty nibbles
with my fave, Roz.

Super stressed
so many comments
and compliments
need my
supergreen smoothie.
