1. When was the last time you drew something? Don’t say that you can’t because you did it a lot when you were young and you didn’t know any better. Did you know that till this day, Brad Pitt will lock himself away from Angelina and the kids and draw pictures of buildings and whatnots. It is that easy. All you  have to do is watch the forms and shapes of your subject. It doesn’t have to be a portrait of yourself, it can be something as simple as a landscape. Just spending time in an artist supply store for an afternoon does for me. It is worth it!

2. Why not draw up a bath for you and your lover. We all know that it may lead it into other things. That is the point! But,why not start a ritual where you guys can soak and talk about the day together. You may find that after a few times you both will look forward to it. And remember no stinky bubbles in the tub. Leave that to the kids!

3. Why not start a pillow collection for your bedroom and living room? You may crave to paint the walls of your living space.  It may be expensive or you might not be allowed to do so. The best way to change your living space is to change your pillows. When I am in a disco mood,  I put my sequins pillows on my couch and chuck the zebra and tigers and vice a versa.  Zebra and Tigers may not be able to live in peace together in the wild kingdom, but in my living space, they reign together just fine.

4. When was the last time you had a look at your serving ware. I was in Wal-Mart the other day and came across a gorgeous chrome tea set and a beautifully wooded serving tray. The colour and knots of the wood were simple and lovely.  I always felt that when you serve people tea or coffee you should do so with panache. It is the little things that create an ambiance.

5. Why not try a new tea you have never tried before? I was dead set on trying Peppermint tea again. I had tried the one in the supermarket and I swear to you a drank a cup of toothpaste! Then a friend raved about a tea she tried from the local Jamaican food store. I had to go and buy it. Little did I know it was the one that my mother used to give me as a child growing up.  It is the one that the prophets spoke of!
