New Years Resolutions

I got this year I will jump rope.

MY RESOLUTIONS

I will not start a diet.

I will not start an exercise program.

This is only partly humour. The reason I am promising this is because I have tried to do this for years, so I decided to save my self from the stress and forget about it. No counting calories or reps. No more diet books or exercise videos. Freedom!

Natural lipstain (with kool aid)

I was looking for natural substitutes for lipstick/stain. This is what I found

• berries
• beets
• kool aid

what now? We don't drink kool aid here, but I knew enough to doubt. I checked their website and the mix contains among other things;

• aspartame
• acesulfame potassium
• artificial flavor
• artificial color

If it says ARTIFICIAL it's not NATURAL!

However, you CAN stain your lips with kool aid or jell-o powder.

• vacation

• books 

• home decoration

• cosmetics

• clothes

• massage

• arranging a party

  buy an espresso machine

  start a small online business

  buy chocolate for everyone

  hire a cleaning lady

  live one month without other income

  buy a new computer

  emergency fund

  arts and crafts courses

  excercise equipment and classes

Shoji screen

In traditional Japanese architecture, a shōji (障子) is a door, window or room divider consisting of translucent paper over a frame of wood which holds together a lattice of wood or bamboo. While washi is the traditional paper, shōji may be made of paper made by modern manufacturing processes; plastic is also in use. Wikipedia

The floor is tatami. Wikipedia
I want to have a shoji screen, since my bed room and family room are the same. My boyfriend is also moving in with his black furniture.

His style is very simple (which I like), but I also like chandeliers and huge flower arrangements. We both are very disorganized but would like neat surroundings. The home theatre system needs to look good too.
So I thought japanese style would be the best compromise.

The screen from Ikea is probably the one we are going to get.

I have considered making a lamp from that style too. Maybe I could come up with compatible bedside tables.

Zumba

I am going to buy Wii with Zumba-game. While waiting that I've been checking out zumbavideos on YouTube. Still haven't gotten off my big fat ass, but I'm going to. Very soon.
My favourite zumbavideos now are from ZumbaliciousChick. Go and see.
