Flower Power
I recently had a chance to hone in on my florist skills, delivering a little birthday happiness to a friend. Have a look at a lil' bit of flower power.

A Real Simple Review
As my mom would say, "I take Real Simple." The magazine is one of the constants in my life that I know will always spur some type of idea. In Julys' issue, inspiration bits came in the form of lists. Unbeknownst to big wig editors, I happen to love lists & I recently started blogging to document all my findings sooooo it fit just right. Don't you love when things work out that way!
List #1 : a playlist
Have you heard of SongVote.com. I had not. Free to sign up. The objective is, you enter a playlist w/ a category (i.e. dinner party) and allow others to vote on their favorite songs from your list. Most votes = Best songs. Or, like me, you could just use it as a place to research possible missing gems for your own ipod. Here is a sneak peek at two of the playlist I viewed.
List #2 : a happy list
Author (and psychologist) Paul Bloom appears in Julys' issue with his article "10 Ways To Find More Pleasure." While this list may not be new inspiration, it's the kind you can use over and over and over...
I've combined #5 & #10 for some time now, unaware they were 'list contenders', and I can vouch for both that it works! Maybe I'll draft my own list of 'happys' and see if they pop up later in life somewhere else!
