Maybe today is the day to... (New year edition)

not let weather affect you mood. You can't control it, but you can dress warmer, look better, make tasty, healthy and warming meals, spoil yourself with hot drinks and feel better by spending time with your loved ones.

I hope you won't feel sad this weekend and if you do, I hope you manage to cheer up. See you in February!

Best wishes,
Mommy G

take care of your hands! If you can't afford regular manicures, get yourself a set of nail oils, hand creams and treatments and use them regularly. And if you want your hands to look good, do all your housework using rubber gloves. As annoying as it might be, nothing makes a bigger difference and nothing gives your age away as much as hands, so treat them with love and care. I promise to try too.

forget worries about what others think of you, forget past hurts and mistakes, just let it go and breathe freely.

sleep more. Yes, I know it's impossible... but do try!

make a face or hair mask from the things you have in your kitchen - greek yogurt, avocados, egg yolks and bananas - there are countless ideas, depending on your skin type. I have collected recipes for about a year, but still haven't tried any of them and some are quite brilliant, so today I will just do it.

Here's an idea to start with - http://beauty.about.com/od/skinflaws/r/egg_white_mask.htm

drink it up - in a good way. There's no need for artificially sweetened drinks or those loaded with sugar. Unlike chocolate and cheese, which are also full of calories, they don't fill you up at all - I also rarely drink fruit juices, unless fresh pressed, for this reason. Switching to herbal teas or water spiked with lemon, lime, cucumber or peppermint will be one of the best decisions you ever make - and your body will thank you!

Have a great weekend,
Mommy G

take a walk. It's probably the thing that makes the biggest difference to my day - the fresh air, moving around and seeing life move around me refreshes and relaxes me and often sparks new ideas.

get healthy and fit. It's hard to do it without loving yourself first, because then you will always try to sabotage yourself. If only it was that easy... I always had trouble loving myself until I found someone who saw me as worth loving, so I guess I'm not the expert on this subject. But things that did help me love myself a bit more were exercising, being active and eating better. These choices I made also eventually made me look better, which might have had something to do with catching the attention of my husband. So maybe it's worth giving healthier lifestyle a try:)

visit a library. Because they make you feel like all is calm and well with the world and you can get lost in a book or a magazine or write, or just dream.
