In addition to what was mentioned in the video, "happiness scientist", Sonja Lyubomirsky suggests that any given task, that we do once and gives us a "high", if you will, such as "bringing a lover breakfast in bed" if done regularly will begin to feel like a chore and in fact will begin to be taken for granted over time, by the person receiving the breakfast in bed.

In a video, coming soon, I would like to suggest ways on how to combat, complacency in relationships as well as "how to get more recognition and appreciation from your partner"

Additional thoughts on this topic, as my mind began to drift. I believe parenthood is one of the most Altruistic Goals, as long as we continue to see it as one, it can bring one, yes, many struggles, but also much immediate and long term satisfaction. We just have to not let ourselves view, bringing "breakfast in bed" a chore.. :)

What are your thoughts on the set point theory?! I'd love to read em!

Pinterest Orange Peel Candle

LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY: .5 (not even 1) out of 5

PRICE: Free

TIME: 20 minutes total (cuz you have to wait for the wick to dry 15/20 mins before you light it)

So, yea see I saw this candle on Pinterest, it looked and sounded awesome and since I had made a delicious dish with lots of oranges called “Spiced Orange and Date Salad” and had Extra Oranges..I thought. Hey! Why not make one of these candles and do a short awesome video, showing you how to do it too!

Here it is!

Do You Want My Review/Thoughts on it...?

Well, I was expecting it to smell delcious..it didn’t..and I had hoped the flame would burn for awhile..my personal experience..is that it did not. It only lasted a couple minutes.

Did you do this project? What was your experience with it?!

…I suppose it’s kinda cool trick..to show people..but other than that holds no real value in my book.

LIFE HACKS!

1.  Use a Clothes Pin, To Help with getting the nails in, so you don't nail yo finger!

2. Use Olive Oil/ Any Oil To Remove Wood Stain From Skin

3. When you run out of iron on letters and there is only one left in the store, use other letters, to create the desired/ necessary letters, to finish project..like I did here with the second T. The first T is the one that came in the package, the second T, is a T I created from and Upside Down L and a part of an R.
