Since it's 2010 figured it would be fitting to give 10 ideas. So here it goes. What works brillantly for me may not for you but at least you may get a laugh out of some of them or use some & trash the rest. Happy New Years mates!
1) Keep the lights low & of a dim nature so your furniture remains looking pretty & new despite the repeated attempts by your baby & pets to ruin them by spitting up, puking or leaving other bodily fluids to fester. NEVER turn the overhead lights on unless absolutely necessary.
2) One word: TARGET
3) Make time for reading
4) At least once a week, lock the bathroom door and stop feeling guilty about taking the time to fully pamper oneself with pedicure, plucking, etc.; instead of the normal rushed shower.
5) Allow an occasional shopping splurge. Especially if its a classic piece that you can keep in your warddrobe season in & season out, regardless of trends. Or just something that totally makes you happy & feel like you look like a million bucks.
6) Instead of trying to get everything done & put away every night, just let it go sometimes and snuggle a little extra with your baby/kids. That feeling you get from that helps erase the guilt & angst re. undone chores.
7) Watch some trashy reality TV. 9 times out of 10 its bound to make you feel way better about yourself by comparison.
8) Exercise a few times a week. Even if its just a few extra trips up & down the stairs (only takes a few minutes). It's good for you health & self-esteem.
9) Champagne :)
10) Fries w/melted extra sharp cheddar dipped in ranch dressing & some Coke. Ymmmm!
