1. Bring in something decadent for your co-workers to try. I am not talking about specialty nuts. Something along the lines of éclairs, or pastries stuffed with feta and spinach, etc. You can put a small note card that says “enjoy” on it. You don’t have to put who it is from, they will figure it out and then you will be inundated with a lot of compliments. They will feel good cause their bellies are full and you will get a warm fuzzy feeling were it counts-inside, my dear.

2. When was the last time you decorated your bathroom? I wondered if you realize that over the course of the year you end up spending more time in the bathroom as you do in the bedroom. Come to think of it, most of your waking moments begin with this space. ‘Tis is the place where you not only relieve your morning’s contents, but you have to “wake-up”. Why not wash your face and take your cleansing showers in a place that is bright, yet spa-like. I prefer white walls with a splash of color. In my bathrooms I have zebra curtains, African baskets, a Buddha and a wastebasket made up of straw. What can you do?

3. Start a weblog. You don’t have to be an Angela Davis, with something extraordinary to share. Why not share some insights on your favorite things or how you got to where you are today? The one below is my favorite! She has good tips on make-up, and not too hard on the eyes either!

Love her!! Her voice is so soothing inside like milkshake on a balmy summer night.
4. Have you gave any idea to do your own version  of, “His Girl Friday”! When was the last time you “shadowed” someone?  While others prefer the slavery of internships, why not call up a CEO or Founder of a company and ask if you can take notes.  They will feel so esteem that they will see you as a colleague and make someone else get the coffee.

5. Why don’t you buy a beautiful bound book and write your recipes in it. Make sure it is large enough.  You can even go as far as putting pictures and tiny notes. It should look precious enough, to be passed down to your future chefs in your family. Useful tip: Make sure to throw some strands of herbs, spices and a dash of flour. It will make you look like you slaved in the kitchen! I know that you didn’t, but they don’t need to know your shortcomings!
