How to list 100 questions to create and maintain great conversation
It took me
1 year
It made me
glad that I'm done

How I did it: I just kept thinking about what I would like to be asked and what other people have asked me in the past.  I stumbled across some articles on conversations and that inspired me as well. Read how I did it…

How to go to Napa Valley
It took me
11 months
It made me
Tired, but happy

How I did it: I kept emailing my 2 close friends to coordinate schedules and finally we narrowed down some dates.  Between them, they had to figure out who was driving and what time to leave.  I attempted to help with the itinerary of which wineries to go to but I kind of procrastinated.  Either way, it still happened! Read how I did it…

Never stop learning (read all 5 entries…)
Steps I'm taking 2 months ago

Reading Dale Carnegie books…
I’m reading more nonfiction books also, like Howard Zinn’s stuff and Gloria Steinem.

Next up is swimming class with my current flatmate and also our previous flatmate. The 3 of us are really excited once summer comes along. :)

I’m also scrimping and saving so I can afford skating lessons…I’ve always enjoyed the ice. It’ll be nice to actually learn to stop and be balanced.

Learn how to put make-up on like a pro (read all 8 entries…)
Focus on skin 2 months ago

My focus right now is on skincare rather than makeup. I think that nice skin will magically just improve my looks and so I won’t have to depend on loads of makeup to do it.

I’ve tried using this acne spot relief from Aveda and it’s all right..nothing amazing. I’m going to get something else from Aveda to try blemishes….and I also bought a tourmaline charged eye creme that’s supposed to decrease dark circles. So far it’s not working. I guess I need to stay consistent with it.

I’ve found Clinique foundation to work really well with me, though. I have a Makeup Forever HD powder en route from a Sephora purchase. I can’t wait! It got really good reviews and a recommendation from my flatmate.
