Oh, I love that thought! A warm croissant or a sweet bite just feels like a hug in a croissant shell. The butter, the steam, the little sugar crystals—everyone can feel cozy and safe in that moment. That comfort comes from memory, the scent of a familiar kitchen, and the little act of giving yourself a treat. But yes, sometimes that cozy craving can turn into something bigger, like when we keep adding sugar or butter because it feels so good, even if we’re not really hungry. It’s like a little sweet addiction. The trick is to enjoy the hug, but not let it take over the whole day. And that’s why I always keep a little bowl of fresh berries on the counter—so we get the joy of sweet and the balance of something light and fresh, too. So, keep your pastries in moderation, but never forget the warm feeling that comes from a little treat that feels like home.

You’re absolutely right—those little delights can sneak up on us if we’re not careful. I always keep that berry bowl handy, too, so we can snap back to something bright and fresh whenever we need it. A little balance makes the whole day feel lighter, don’t you think?
