Funny reasons cats are better than boys…

Let’s be fair, this is coming from the girl with cats and no boy. Take from this what you will.

p.s. the tune is Mama Do The Hump by Rizzle Kicks. I kinda love them a little bit, even though I’m not 12.

Some much needed London Underground etiquette

It appears that there are quite a lot of people who have never been taught how to commute underground. I thought I’d take time out to share some good etiquette with you, you know, just incase you didn’t already know. Watch this and tell me if you haven’t experienced at least one of these ;)

Some embarrassing situations to avoid…

If you can… I mean, I know it’s not always possible, but learn from my *ahem* friends experiences and save yourself redface.

Stay awesome. Much 2012 love.

Some of the funniest dating site straplines

We’ve all been there… you know, the person that tells you they’re not a murderer, so they must be a catch, right?

Keep it awesome peeps. Much love to you all.

My 2012 Happiness Project

As you will have seen from my last post, I recently read The Happiness Project by Gretchin Rubin and have been keen to create a project of my own. I decided to hold off of starting my own until the new year, it just felt apt.

Having taken a good while to consider ways I want to improve my life over the next year, I’ve managed to come up with a project of my own, cross referenced with my personal commandments. Below I’ve outlined my resolutions below. The idea is that every month you introduce a new element whilst maintaining those from previous months.

Jan – Take better care of myself

- Drink more water
- Reduce alcohol intake
- Get more sleep
- Remove makeup
- Apply moisturiser before sleep
- Keep a food journal

Feb – Take more exercise

- Get off the tube a stop early
- Walk the escalator
- Take stairs rather than the lift

Mar – Be nice

- Do something each day to make somebody smile
- Don’t speak negatively about anyone or anything
- Think of solutions rather than problems
- Offer help

Apr – Take time for myself

- Take a whole day a month where I do only the things that I love
- Keep a night a week free to relax, read and write

May – Take up pilates

- Attend pilates classes
- Take up meditation

Jun – Connect with likeminded people

- Create a career group
- Join a reading group

Jul – Take a break

- Book at least one holiday!

Aug – Create better relationships

- Rekindle relationships
- Make time for others
- Make new friends
- Build stronger relationships
- Pick up the phone

Sept – Go on adventures

- Discover at least 1 new part of London each week

Oct – Invest in happiness

- Go shopping without guilt
- Book massages

Nov – Expand my reading material

- Purchase books from areas of the book store I don’t normally visit
- Purchase a book I see someone reading on the tube

Dec – Appreciate the little things

- Create a list of things I’m grateful for
- Document all of the great things that have happened in the past year
- Plan a happiness project for 2013

I’d love to hear whether you’ve got any resolutions or happiness projects of your own. Use the comments, don’t be shy.

Happy 2012!
