Maybe today is the day to... (New year edition)
try making your usual take-away, favourite muffins or cupcakes or maybe recreating that special pasta dish from your neighbourhood restaurant at home. Amazingly, when I did this with my favourite stir-fry and banana bread, both turned out even better than originals and I'm no super chef! Of course, part of the pleasure of buying take-outs is that somebody else made them for you, and often the rest you get is actually worth the price, but since making my favourite recipes, I haven't bought any ready food in a while.
P.S. My favourite stir-fry recipe - http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/827645/hot-and-sour-pork-and-pepper-stirfry

Maybe today is the day to... (New year edition)
use something you have in your home in a different way. I adore beautiful chocolate, coffee and cookie boxes - these can help you organize your home and make the best containers for all kinds of things - from threads and needles to buttons and other goodies. And you probably have some left from Christmas, from all the gifts and sweets you received - somebody put a lot of thought in these (or maybe the supermarket did:) ) and it's a wonderful way not to let them go to waste and a chance to use your imagination. Have a great weekend - there are less parties and celebrations in January, but it's full of its own kinds of pleasures!
Best wishes,
Mommy G

make supper from the things you have in your fridge and kitchen shelves (unless all you have is cold champagne:) ). There are probably some eggs, vegetables, butter, cheese and rice, so you can make so many things - from fritattas to risottos to vegetarian chilis. Cooking with what you've got can be quite a fun challenge and will eventually make you a better cook - because you have to use your imagination and intuition and make decisions about things that may or may not work. I used to be quite a bad cook, but I guess the more you do it, the better you get at it! Good luck and have a great supper!

use what you've got. And we all have more than we need - even if you don't like shopping, we still buy some things almost daily, not to mention gifts we recieve for Christmas and birthdays. Things just keep adding up - let's use them, instead of always buying more, more, more... despite the many temptations.

do the simplest things with the greatest care. Even if it's a dreary Monday morning, even if you have to wake up incredibly early to face the traffic and problems that come your way, live it with style, passion and beauty. You will slowly start to notice a difference to your days if you do.

be prepared for good and interesting, and unexpected turns your life might take. So carry around in you bag these essentials:
- pen or pencil and notebook, for jotting down great ideas;
- some make-up, especially blotting papers, face powder, lip balm and lipstick;
- nail file, hair brush, elastic bands and adhesive bandages;
- travel size deodorant, shampoo, toothbrush and toothpaste.
You never know...:)
Have an amazing weekend, even though it's the beginning of January and probably not the best time of the year for most people. Best wishes, whatever you choose to do!

not forget about those closest to you - they deserve to see you beautiful. Your style at home doesn't have to be complicated - but it has to look good, feel good and make you feel good about yourself. Create comfortable and stylish ensembles, be a dreamer and at the same time realistic, making combinations you will actually wear, that will make you feel more chic yet comfortable at the same time.

update your wardrobe - or at least to begin, because it might be impossible to do it in one day. Create ready looks, including jewellery and accessories, for all the occasions of your life. Sort your clothes and only keep those you love and use, unless they have a very special sentimental value. Once you do this, you'll feel 100 times better, lighter & have space for new thoughts and adventures.
