Unlike other denim brands, <strong>Levi’s®</strong> Curve ID utilizes a unique, customized fit system focusing on a woman’s shape and proportions, not her size. <strong>The Levi’s®</strong> brand designers studied body scans of more than 60,000 women to develop custom fits based on the difference between the measurement of a woman’s hip and seat – the greater the difference, the more curvy the body – and include:<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Slight Curve</strong> – designed to celebrate straight figures<br />
Slight Curve is designed to define a woman’s waist, while accentuating her curves. If jeans fit in the hips and thighs but are too tight in the waist, a woman should try the Slight Curve.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Demi Curve</strong> – designed to fit even proportions<br />
Demi Curve is designed to flatter a woman’s waist, while smoothing her shape. If jeans usually fit in the waist, but don’t flatter the figure, a woman should try the Demi Curve.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Bold Curve</strong> – designed to honor genuine curves<br />
Bold Curve is designed to hug the waist, without gapping or pulling. If jeans fit in the hips and thighs, but gape in the back, a woman should try the Bold Curve.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></div></div></td></tr>

The conversation got me thinking and I wanted to share my insights with you.</em></div><div style="text-align: center;"><em> </em> </div><h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong><em><span style="color: orange;">1. How do I define <span style="text-decoration: underline;">my personal style </span>and am I happy with it?</span></em></strong></h2><div style="text-align: center;"><em>I truly believe that my personal style began developing itself at a very young age. I was one of those girls that loved to create unique outfits, play dress up with my friends (boys and girls) and rummaged through my mom’s closet (which I still do to this day). I was voted best dressed in high school and majored in fashion in college–fashion was and is in my blood.</em></div><div style="text-align: center;"><em>Way back when, I identified elements of fashion that spoke to me, made me feel pretty, comfortable and stylish. Those same elements define my style today and give me that same sense of self-confidence and personal identity it did when I was 5.</em></div><ul><li style="text-align: center;"><em> </em> <em><strong>Classic with an artistic flair–</strong>I follow fashion trends very closely but know that classic styles, silhouettes and details work best for me. I love combining a pair of jeans with a stylish blazer or long sweater coat. </em><em>Or, dressing up a pair of black pants with a bright cardigan or menswear inspired shirt.</em></li>
</ul><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" class="aligncenter" height="513" src="http://confettistyle.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/trench-via-karenmillens-outlets.jpg?w=330&h=513" title="trench via karenmillens-outlets" width="330" /></div><br />
<br />
<li><em><strong>Color–</strong>Bright, bold colors are one of my signature touches. I know that color, versus neutrals look good on me and more importantly bold colors make me feel good, which is reflected in how I carry myself and interact with other. A great way to identify a fashion statement that works for you is to listen to what other have to say. It never fails that when I wear red, coral, kelly green or canary yellow, I get compliments from others. </em></li><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><em> </em> <a href="http://confettistyle.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/yellow-dress-via-collegecandy.jpg"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2958" src="http://confettistyle.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/yellow-dress-via-collegecandy.jpg?w=500" title="yellow dress via collegecandy" /></a></div><ul style="text-align: center;"><li><em><strong>Jewelry</strong>–My outfit does not feel complete without jewelry. For me, jewelry is the icing on the cake and is the way that I bring a look together. I use jewelry to make a statement and gravitate towards classic silver pieces, big earrings, bold necklaces and diamonds (it’s my birthstone after all). If you see me without any jewelry on, chances are I’m not feeling well.</em></li>
</ul><div style="text-align: center;"><em> </em> <a href="http://confettistyle.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/stella-and-dot-jewelry1.png"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2957" src="http://confettistyle.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/stella-and-dot-jewelry1.png?w=500" title="stella and dot jewelry" /></a></div><ul style="text-align: center;"><li><em><strong>Handbags</strong>–A girl can never have too many. As with jewelry, a handbag to me completes an outfit. While handbags are functional, I don’t look at them that way. To me, a handbag it a true style statement and should compliment an outfit first and be a storage vehicle second. On those occasions when I am wearing black or neutrals, I carry a handbag with color or shimmer to convey my personality.</em></li>

<li><strong><em>Knowing who you are</em></strong><em>–knowing what you like and don’t like is key to defining your personal style. It’s not about trying to look like someone else, but about creating your own style, one that <span style="text-decoration: underline;">allows you to look your best, always</span>.</em></li>
</ul><em><img alt="" class="aligncenter" height="549" src="http://confettistyle.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/queen-latifa.jpg?w=347&h=549" title="queen latifa" width="347" /></em><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><em>* </em><em><strong>Knowing and loving your body</strong>–Whenever I’m at the mall I see loads of people wearing things that just aren’t right for them. Wearing clothes that don’t fit or flatter your body is the quickest way to downgrade your personal style. Take a day at the mall and try on lots of clothes. Recognize what cuts and styles enhance your body and make you feel good. These are the elements that will help you create your personal style.</em></div><div style="text-align: center;"><em><a href="http://confettistyle.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/glamour-dos-and-donts.jpg"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2975" height="500" src="http://confettistyle.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/glamour-dos-and-donts.jpg?w=500&h=500" title="Glamour Do's and Don'ts" width="500" /></a></em></div><ul><li><div style="text-align: center;"><em> </em><em><strong>Knowing how to play up your best attributes</strong>–It’s true, shorter people (me) really should not wear cropped pants, and those of us with a well endowed chest should gravitate towards scoop necks and v-necks because they are more flattering on our neckline. As you try on clothes, recognize which styles make you look taller, enhance your arms or legs and camouflage the areas you don’t like. Clothes that look good on you, do make you feel good.</em></div></li>

<h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: red;"><em>3. How does one go about creating a personal style for themselves?</em></span></strong></h2><ul><li style="text-align: center;"><em><strong>Find a role model–</strong>Look around… TV, magazines, friends and identify people whose fashion style you admire. Your goal is not to copy them, but be inspired by their personal style.<img alt="" class="aligncenter" height="339" src="http://confettistyle.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/michelle-obama-via-huffingtonpost.jpg?w=500&h=339" title="Michelle Obama via huffingtonpost" width="500" /><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2973" src="http://confettistyle.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/carolina-herrera-via-socialvixen.jpg?w=500" title="carolina herrera via socialvixen" /></em></li>
<li style="text-align: center;"><em></em></li>
<li style="text-align: center;"><em><strong>Shop and Try on</strong>–If you ever watch What Not To Wear on tv, Clinton and Staci spend countless hours with the client trying things on. This really is the best way to find and understand what fashions look best on you. If you’re afraid of going it alone, most of the major department stores have a personal shopper department where someone will work with you, to create your wardrobe.</em></li>

<br />
<li style="text-align: center;"><em><strong>Mix high-end with low-end</strong>–When it comes to shopping, I am not a brand snob. I buy items because they work for me, not because of the label or the price. I love to invest in classic pieces and then round out my wardrobe with inexpensive stylish finds. Some of my favorite pieces have come from Old Navy, TJ Maxx, Koh’s and the Nordstrom sale rack. Your really dont’ have to invest a lot of money to create a great wardrobe. </em></li><br />

I also try to have several silhouettes of pants: wider leg, slimmer fit.</em></address><address><em><span style="color: magenta;">Cardigans</span>–As an essential wardrobe element, cardigans are great because they can be worn year round, can be dressed up or down, and are figure flattering on just about everyone. Plus, I’m always cold.</em></address><address><em><span style="color: magenta;">Jeans</span>–Ok, I admit shopping for jeans is not fun, but when it comes to jeans, finding a great fit is critical. I vote for darker washes and straight legs. And, I think you should own a “tall” pair for heels, and a “short” pair for flats.</em></address><address><em><span style="color: magenta;">Classic White Shirt</span>–Nothing is more versatile than a white shirt. Try building a wardrobe with several different styles. </em></address><address><em><span style="color: magenta;">Your Favorite Colors</span>–Your wardrobe should definitely include pieces in the colors you love. Guaranteed to make you feel good.</em></address><address><em><span style="color: magenta;">Black Pumps</span>–Every girl needs a great pair of go-to black pumps–kitten heel and a higher heel. I have a very narrow foot and slip-on shoes rarely fit me, so I tend to go for a black shoe with a slingback.</em></address><address><em> </em> </address><address><a href="http://confettistyle.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/black-slingbacks1.jpg"><img alt="" class="size-medium wp-image-2980 aligncenter" height="244" src="http://confettistyle.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/black-slingbacks1.jpg?w=200&h=244" title="black slingbacks" width="200" /></a></address><address><em> </em> </address><address><em> </em> </address><address><em></em><em></em><em></em><em></em><em></em> </address><address><em></em> <em><span style="color: magenta;">Black Pencil Skirt</span>–While every girl needs a LBD in their closet, I think a black pencil skirts is another essential.

<br />
Let's face it: Sometimes the old everyday black and beige or gray and blue combos can be a whole lotta boring. With bold color-blocking continuing to be a strong trend for spring and summer, we decided to choose a few unorthodox <strong>color combos for spring</strong> that pushed the fashion envelope just enough. From Céline's gorgeous oxblood leather and cornflower blue to Marc Jacobs' sunny satiny pink and cool melon, these punchy pairings signal a new season of dress-up is here...finally!<br />

</div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">1. You should go for Wide-leg pants in soft slouchy fabrics as these are stylish and classic pants which make you feel stylish but avoid wearing too short. Therefore while selecting Wide leg printed trousers always select long and flowing – i.e. finishing below your ankle and not above.<br />
2. This season printed trousers are also available in tapered designs such as cigarette pants and baggier harem styles. Therefore always select softer cuts that taper gently in at the ankle, while selecting print always select neutral shade/print, such as a monochrome pattern or classic leopard print for a chicer.<br />
3. If you want to look stylish wearing printed pants therefore always keep the rest of the outfit simple and sober avoid wearing matching prints with printed trousers always pair printed trousers with plain tank top or soft silky shirt and that to in neural shades. For looking stylish while wearing printed pants wearing white jacket is good idea.<br />
4. You can wear high-heeled sandals with printed pants</span>.</span></span><br />

But sailor pants always had a fashionable side, even when old salts wore them on the high seas. The bell bottoms are roomy and comfortable. The lines are sharp. The buttons catch the eye. Not only are sailor pants retro; they were also retro when your great-great-grandmother was a girl. The appearance of sailor pants on women's clothing racks, then, isn't all that surprising.<br />

<strong><span style="background-color: orange; font-size: large;">Tricks the sailor pants can pull off for your body</span></strong><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: orange;">*They hide thick, fat legs<br />
*They flatter all body types<br />
*They really elongate your legs making you look taller<br />
*They cinch your waist making it look smaller<br />
*They help give an illusion of a flat tummy<br />
*They add curves to those with boyish figures<br />
*They help draw attention on your upper body<br />
*They give a flat booty some boost</span><br />
<span style="background-color: orange;">In a cool fitting pair of sailor pants you will leave everyone saying Aye Aye hot captain! To your flawless, sleek look.</span><br />

They are not the boring old kinds that were prominent with the stylish lot in the 1970’s. They are still flared but are now more detailed and way modish. And the best thing about them is that they give you a very flattering silhouette while keeping you on the forefront of the stylish lot and they can be worn as everyday wear. <br />
The sailor pants that I’m most fond of though are those that have a mid-rise, with buttons on the front or the hip sides as detail. To distinguish sailor pants from high waist pants, you will notice that the sailor pants are fastened with buttons and not zippers. Very chic!<br />

JT shows you how to look ravishing in a flattering dhoti pant with just the right fit and drape.<br />
Says fashion designer Rina Dhaka, "Dhoti pants are definitely in and I would like to see more people wearing them. I would recommend wearing these like the way they were worn in late '80s – with a very short kurti or the way the Haryanvi woman wear them. They are best for a relaxed, semi-formal evening and the ideal length is a little above the ankles. The ideal fabric would be muslin or a blend of cotton and silk as it gives you a nice drape."<br />
According to Mandira Wirk, the trend is here to stay. "Dhoti pants originated from India and have become a rage the world over. They suit the Indian body types. They are very trendy and comfortable and look sexy when teamed with a tight fitted top. You can also wear them with a short kurti with detailing or a fitted and cropped jacket. Accessorise them with funky belts and wear them with juttis or kolhapuri chappals," suggests Mandira. For dhoti pants, she suggests a fabric that has a good fall. "Go for georgette, crepe or light weight silk. Plain material in a solid colour looks nice as it helps the drape of the fabric come out. Keep the dhoti pant simple and pair it up with a printed or textured top."<br />

<span style="background-color: black; color: #cc0000;">1. It has to have well qualified,young crowd</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cc0000;">2. It should have a few renowned projects or it should be located in south delhi.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cc0000;">3. The projects should be interesting,large-scale.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cc0000;">4. It should have some national or international awards,projects published in magazines like A+D.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cc0000;">5. Salary should be a lil more than i was getting though if the co. is great i dont mind.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #ffd966;"><span style="background-color: black; color: #cc0000;">6. I would love to work in an office which is spacious,got nice ambience,and not situated in the basement as most offices are</span>.</span><br />
<br />
Feels like iam doing day-dreaming more than moving my ass and do some hardwork.But i wanna join a firm which is equivalent if not better than the firm i last worked in so i'll take time before i take the plunge.<br />
<br />
Today i made a <span style="background-color: #93c47d;">vision board of the office</span> where i would like to work.I didnt give a damn to the aesthetics,i was busy browsing so i just copied and pasted wherever i could in order to not waste any more time.Its good enough to read and inspires me to go and get my dream job.</div>One Drop Lovehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01848971935447328881noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4548778063811501998.post-62250808089770183042012-02-18T02:25:00.001-08:002012-02-18T02:29:09.986-08:00<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3k1IalX0tgZ7Xkgbm2ArJ0hwIAlhhiGbzwlz1Yz__ZgPxYw6D4q2aBcK7uBqvzvo5HJCmNE13-QGiV-nXVyCC6ETdqbPbMDxyEuVYsyGVy-lcXbvC0wGAX9OZ5wL2pBniGTx8FubwlLI/s1600/geometrical+print.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3k1IalX0tgZ7Xkgbm2ArJ0hwIAlhhiGbzwlz1Yz__ZgPxYw6D4q2aBcK7uBqvzvo5HJCmNE13-QGiV-nXVyCC6ETdqbPbMDxyEuVYsyGVy-lcXbvC0wGAX9OZ5wL2pBniGTx8FubwlLI/s320/geometrical+print.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>These fancy cropped pants are on my mind since a few weeks as i saw one of them at Zara,it was not exactly my size but it looked so awesome!

Now i have 2 imp tasks on hand-<br />

Remember: You cannot organize clutter — you can only organize the things you love!<br />
Below are FlyLady’s tips on how to declutter. Put your home on a diet — one that will cut clutter out of its life!<br />
<h2 style="color: #663366; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 20px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span style="font-size: large;">When to Declutter</span></h2>Decide how often you are going to declutter a zone. Do a little every day — use a timer. But be warned: this can become compulsive! Once you get started, you will want to clean everything all at once. Don’t burn yourself out! Only do small amount at a time. The house did not get dirty overnight, and it will not get clean overnight. When you set the timer, you can only do two sessions at a time. This goal may seem unattainable right now, but you can do it in little pieces. In a couple of months, the whole house will be decluttered.<br />
<h2 style="color: #663366; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 20px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span style="font-size: large;">Decluttering Equipment</span></h2><strong></strong>You will need garbage bags, boxes, magic markers, and a dust rag. Label the boxes “Give Away,” “Throw Away,” and “Put Away.” Line the “Throw Away” box with a plastic garbage bag.<br />
Set your timer for one hour (or 30, 15, or 10 minutes — it does’t matter how long). Just do the job as fast as you can, and do not pull out more stuff than you can put away in that length of time. This means just one drawer, one closet (or even one shelf in one closet), one magazine rack, or digging under just the furniture in the zone. Don’t do all of them at once!<br />
<h2 style="color: #663366; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 20px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span style="font-size: large;">Start at the entrance to the room</span></h2>Then, work your way around the room clockwise. Do not skip a spot. Whatever happens to be next, just do it!<br />
<h2 style="color: #663366; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 20px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span style="font-size: large;">Declutter away!</span></h2>With boxes at your feet and a dust rag in your hand, start off by cleaning out and getting rid of the things that don’t belong in the room you’re in. Put garbage in the “Throw Away” box, donations in the “Give Away” box, and stuff that belongs elsewhere in the house in the “Put Away” box. Don’t worry that you don’t have a place for everything right now. By the time you finish, you will!<br />
<h2 style="color: #663366; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 20px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span style="font-size: large;">What to declutter</span></h2>Ask yourself the following questions as you get get of your clutter:<br />
<ul><li>Do I love this item?</li>
<li>Have I used it in the past year?</li>
<li>Is it really garbage?</li>
<li>Do I have another one that is better?</li>
<li>Should I really keep two?</li>
<li>Does it have sentimental value that causes me to love it?</li>
<li>Or does it give me guilt and make me sad when I see the item?</li>
</ul>Cleanse this room of everything that does not make you smile! If you don’t love something, get rid of it! Release it so it can be loved by someone else.<br />
<h2 style="color: #663366; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 20px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span style="font-size: large;">Get rid of the garbage</span></h2>When the “Throw Away” box gets full, pull the garbage bag out, close it, and put it in the garbage can, the back of your truck, or wherever you keep your garbage. Put a new bag in the “Throw Away” box and keep FLYing until the timer goes off.<br />
<h2 style="color: #663366; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 20px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span style="font-size: large;">Donations</span></h2>When the “Give Away” box gets full, seal it up, and put it in your car. The next time you are out, you can donate the box to your local thrift shop. Don’t save your clutter for a yard or garage sale; you will be blessed by giving it away. The value can be deducted on your income tax. Remember, you are trying to get rid of clutter, not relocate it somewhere else in your home. Now, grab another box, label it “Give Away,” and get back to work.<br />
<h2 style="color: #663366; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 20px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span style="font-size: large;">“Put Away” Stuff</span></h2>When the “Put Away” box gets full, take the box in your arms and run around the house (good thing you have your shoes on, right?) and put the items in the room where they belong. If they have a place, put them there. If they don’t, put them in the room where they logically belong. By the time you have finished, you will have a place for everything, and everything will be in its place.<br />
<h2 style="color: #663366; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 20px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span style="font-size: large;">Timer Goes Off</span></h2>When the timer goes off, you have to put away all the boxes, but first you have to empty them all. Go as fast as you can!</div></div>One Drop Lovehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01848971935447328881noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4548778063811501998.post-27154262353131898572012-01-30T22:19:00.000-08:002012-01-30T22:19:56.572-08:00Make decluttering fun ~<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">This one is from a site that i visit often as it inspires me to declutter my house and makes me feel great!<br />

This works by all of us, as a collective group around the world, revving up our engines and committing to spend 15 minutes a day getting rid of the clutter in our homes! Are you ready to Fling? For the next few weeks we are on a journey to declutter! We are going to focus on the clutter in our house! We will also throw in a few surprise missions along the way so be on the look out!<br />
To make this fun we have a pound meter set up below. We ask<br />
that everyone either weigh or guesstimate the weight of what you get<br />
out of your home. It could be trash, recycling or give away. If it<br />
leaves your house, it counts as pounds tossed out of your home.<br />
<strong>Enter how many pounds you have Flung so far! Great job!</strong></div><br />

<br />
Anyway,apart from the pity party i did some soul searching on what i want from my life.Iam now clear about what i want from this year 2012 and what changes i'd like to see in me,my relationships with everything and everyone and the goals i have set.The list includes some petty things too and ive also promised myself that i will develop this habbit of making a monthly vision board so that i stay more focussed.The list is mostly about health,beauty,social life,job,self-improvement,relaxation.<br />

<br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><strong><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">To begin:</span></strong></div><ul style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><li style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Make a list of your own priorities. These are the things that are important to you, deserve your attention and make life meaningful and fulfilling. They can include your spiritual needs, your need for intellectual growth or your health and wellness needs. Once you’ve made your list, identify your top three priorities.</span></li>
<li style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Make a similar list, but this time, focus on those needs and demands of others that you find take up your time and energy and take you away from focusing on your own priorities. You may want to jot down items as you go through a typical day. Notice demands, such as washing dishes, mundane tasks at work, volunteer work, responding to email and preparing meals.</span></li>
<li style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Once you’ve made your list, identify three or more tasks that you can simply not do (sometimes we get stuck doing things because we feel we “should” but no real harm will come from skipping them). If you’re a neat nick, you may be able to skip some of your regular cleaning, if you respond immediately to every email, call and social contact, you may be able to simply give up some less important interactions. What you simply skip is dependent on your own personality and your assessment of what, in your life, you can loosen up on.</span></li>
<li style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Now identify three or more tasks that you can give to someone else, train someone else to do or negotiate to offload</span></li>
<li style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Giving unwanted tasks to someone else can be difficult, but it is possible. Initially you may get some flack. You may need to counter worries about disappointing or frustrating other people with thoughts such as “I can respond to other people better if I take care of myself” or “my needs are just as important as other people’s needs.”</span></li>
<li style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Once you have given up some of those demands from others, be sure to replace them with your own priorities from the first list that you made.</span></li>
</ul><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Making a new habit takes time. Pay close attention for several weeks, to ensure that new demands from others don’t creep up on you. Once you’ve made a habit of including yourself on your priority list, you’ll be better able to say ‘no’ to other people’s demands that interfere with your ability to take care of yourself.</span></div><br />

How to balance life and find time for the things I want to do. One of the most effective tools I found was this – break a task into small meaningful chunks. That way, you will make progress towards your goals vs. just being overwhelmed by what lies before you. So if you are cleaning the attic, set a goal – I will find 3 items to throw out or recycle, instead of a goal of ‘ I will have a spanking clean attic and get Real Simple on the line’.</span><div><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;"><br />

She came at 12.30 and looked like in a hurry,was telling me that she;s late for other's home.I asked her if she doesnt have fixed timings,she muttered something and i gently reminded her again that in a month or two i will be going to work and so then i will need her to come on a set time.She seemed to be ok though not sure how it will work out.Anyway Iam so happy today,ive made my lil place a cosy yet chic one but the dust,dirt never seemed to be going away plus i dont like to sweep,mop the floors everyday.There is already so much to do like getting up in the chilly weather,boiling bottles,milk,cooking,cleaning the counter,doing the dishes,getting my lil angel ready and dropping her.T hen i come home,arrange all the scattered stuff,clean (its not that i like doing this....you cant imagine how overwhelmed i feel when i see myself standing in the chaos,its like i need something motivating,someone who can push me to clean up and stuff...then i remind myself of my mom;s crazy dialogues in an attempt to move my butt and get started).I dont like to step inside the kitchen much cos havent mopped the floor in weeks and i find it yucky to even acknowledge.(I hope this post does not get a lot of views,its one of those secrets i dont share with my best friend :p ) But seriously,the kitchen is like......I had always thought it will be fine when i will have a maid,till then why waste my energy.The drain sucks big time,one cant wash the dishes in kitchen cos u will have to pay for it by pushing all the stagnant water there so it goes down the drain.sad...but such is life! If anyone who is as messy,clumsy as me pls write to me so i know there are people like me....more imperfect than the general imperfect population and i can feel at ease by being 'me'.(pls dont take it so seriously that u stop reading, im trying to make my lil place a heavenly abode and i know im on the way to success!)</div>One Drop Lovehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01848971935447328881noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4548778063811501998.post-41536267602390382242012-01-12T11:24:00.000-08:002012-01-12T11:24:36.341-08:00<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Today I woke up in a good mood as someone had given me kinda compliment in the night on FB.I was sooo bored that i ended up chatting with this guy who joined few days before i left office.I wanna keep in touch with him as he's intelligent,does his own projects is overall nice.I hope we do a project together in future cos the way he sees things and says his point of view without any doubts,says that he knows the site stuff unlike my ex-TL and a few other people ive worked with.Generally everyone would put their point of view even knowing that what they are saying is not 100% true but they would just pretend that they know it all.Well dont wanna think about those kinda people right now as i only wanna think good and feel good.<br />
The morning started late and as there was no water i couldnt cook anything so i gave paneer and papaya to my baby which she likes usually and also idli for the tiffin.she enjoys eating idli...it is such a pleasure to pack lil different things in her lunch every morning and to see her eating properly.That moment when she eats well, i feel like the Best Cook in the world...not actually,but ya it tells me that i can cook!!<br />
Then at 9.30 i dropped her to the creche,picked up the photos that i had given to develop as i had just bought a big 10 x 12" photoframe and a heart shaped small photoframe from westside...its a lovely piece.I also got two heart shaped frames joined together,white in color.Iam so eagerly waiting for 14th feb to get these hearts framed and cover up a whole wall with al those wonderful times' memories.also im waiting for my Hubby to come home afterall its been about a month now.I wish the moment he steps inside he feels wonderful and stays at home longer. :)<br />
Today I spent 1.5hrs looking for a maid in this area but they are not easily available people say.It didnt go in vain as some people told me that they will ask the maid they know and then let me know if its available.Then i came back home,saw this maid sweeping on the first floor.I asked her and she was willing but settled down at quite a big amount,lets see how she does so ill decide wether ill need her everyday and the timings.Feels so relieved today,it solves most of my probs as all the problems start from not having a maid or someone to help/look after my baby...</div>One Drop Lovehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01848971935447328881noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4548778063811501998.post-34050320379462726712012-01-08T03:13:00.001-08:002012-01-08T03:13:29.165-08:00Amazing weather,amazing people around..One Drop Lovehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01848971935447328881noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4548778063811501998.post-12859236786687243612011-12-28T11:42:00.000-08:002011-12-28T11:50:52.181-08:00<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">It was a lazy day as Gauri wasnt to go to her day care so i dint bother getting up early and had a really good sleep.But I had to wake up before 8 to fill the water tank as there was no water in the house.so woke up,filled it and slept again....my intention was not to sleep though but i didnt know what to do so early,ill just get bored after awhile so i decided to wake up when Gauri wakes up.so we woke up around 9.30.I made pumpkin veg which Gauri seemed to like but after a few bites she was more interested in having only chapati,she doesnt like cheese so was having it bland.then i made sooji-besan ka halwa but had to have it all by myself cos she hated the look of it. tried all the ways to attract her but she only came near when i uttered " kishmish,cheeni"...and after coming close,she'd again run away. Then I boiled eggs and she was happy eating it.Its such a joy to a mother when she sees her child eating something healthy and loving it too.it motivates me a lot and i feel may be i should experiment more and make her eat healthy stuff,make healthier choices instead of the snacks.Today she was eating methi mutter too which i had bought about a month ago,then she had hated it.Iam happy that finally i can cook veg like pumkin and though i cant say how it was,but seeing my child loving it,i feel so proud.Thank God! I just want my baby to eat all good stuff,especially the things that i never liked to eat.It seems ages when i had had pumpkin last time,and now im loving it...cos she loves it .:)<br />
<br />
In the evening i showed her some videos from animal planet,she took no interest...she likes to watch nursery rhymes and other baby videos more.she loved this video "Iam a Gummy Bear..."...awesome one.all the ones from "Baby TV channel" have v nice graphics in their rhymes.We watched some baby laughing videos too but i guess she enjoys my company more than anything. ;) her laugh is so beautiful, sometimes i spend all my day just doing weird things,making faces,creating new games with her to make her laugh.and she loves to copy me.<br />
