It can be something related to a special meal from our childhood, a family recipe, our favorite drink that brings with it tons of fun memories, having salty lips after a swim, the meal we had when we went out for an important business event, or that curious dish from a romantic date, that personalized dessert we mastered over time, the lip balm that we need in the winter, or kissing a small child on the cheeks...

How about you?]
The taste of happiness can be everything, and it can also change depending on the different chapters of our lives.

During difficult and stressful times, knowing how happiness tastes like can be a good antidote against binge-eating, junk food, and comfort food.
Because happiness is for sure somewhere else. So let's go find it.
