Eating, dining and meal times are something that we all contemplate during our daily routines. Whether you leap out of bed for the breakfast bar or prefer someone else to bring it to you whilst you slumber, maybe you crave the quench of a post-workout protein shake... we're all a bit alternative when it comes to eating rituals . There are the fussy... one may desire to complement their dish with ketchup but will never touch a tomato. Do you know  that guy who removes his gherkin from his McDs or the weirdo who licks the dust off their pringles before devouring its crunch... savouring the the flavour of our favourite fooods is personal and certainly not something to be shared with absolutely everyone. Some aspects of those occasions and habits might be safer kept secret. Some therapists argue that nuturition is our primary relationship; from the first infant interaction with its care figure, we learn that love is provided from those who wish for our best chances of survival and matu...

I am a smoker of the last 5 years, with intermittent breaks, meaning I have managed to quit almost cold turkey for up to and over a month.

Beauty Products This one is especially directed at the Ladies, although I can't prejudice and suppose that men do not use beauty products from time to time, even if it is just a moisturiser or grooming tools, however the fact is applying make up becomes ritualistic and a 'can't live with out' for most women on a day to day basis. I believe that application of make up etc. can become an addiction to the extent that an individual cannot so much as pop to the corner shop with out a full coverage of face art.
