Why Don’t You:

* Treat yourself to something you’ve coveted for ages but always talk yourself out of buying for one reason or another. We all deserve an occasional indulgence after all! I finally bought a bottle of Chanel No. 5 on Saturday, having never found a fragrance that tops it, but always having talked myself out of it in the past because my mother wears it – a ridiculous reason really!

* Sing- in the shower, in public, after a few drinks, on a deserted hilltop channeling your inner Julie Andrews, I always find belting out one of my favourite tunes, badly or otherwise, is such a mood-lifter!

* Read your favourite childhood books again! I recently re-read Mathilda and loved it just as much as I did as a kid. The bonus is that easy-to-read childrens’ books are brilliant for noisy work lunchrooms or short bus trips as they don’t require much concentration.

* Blog Posts:

Cool Tools from Yes and Yesis a one-stop resource for bloggers looking for image hosts, editing software, photo sources etc.

The Value of Reading from Tres Lola is a great post if your RSS reader is looking a bit tired, or you’re just in the need of some great bloggy inspiration.

On Clothes and Identity, plus the follow-up post from No Signposts in the Sea is ally interesting look at how what we wear matters.

Even though I’ve no intention of emigrating any time soon, Amanda Lee’s post; Things I Wish Someone Had Told Me Before I Moved To New York is never-the-less really great advice for anyone moving anywhere new.
