"Having sex, eating chocolates are key to happy life," Hatcher

Melbourne (ANI): Actress Teri Hatcher has some motherly advice for her daughter- "have sex and eat a lot of chocolate". In Hatcher's October column for Britain's Glamour magazine, the 'Desperate Housewives' star advised her 10-year-old daughter and the general public that having sex and eating chocolates are key to happy life.

"Don't sit on public toilet seats and make sure to floss. - Life's too short to stress; you'll be able to get past anything difficult; the sun will rise tomorrow; you are beautiful; you are lovable," the Herald Sun quoted her as advising in her column. Describing herself as "43-year-old somewhat successful but still flawed and fragile woman," Hatcher also admitted that with a little self-help handiwork, she had made herself a "goal board" to which she added every night.

"It's basically a collage of images of things you want to achieve in your life - all written, glued or drawn onto a big piece of paper," she said. "Against all my well-honed cynical beliefs, it's actually working!" she added.
