Two of my favorite things are Beyonce, and countdown shows. Well, Beyonce isn't a thing, but you know what I mean. :)
Both are run, and exciting and leave me anticipating what's next!
And though I'm a LOT less exciting than a countdown show or Beyonce, I think it will be fun to count down to the top ten things on my mind lately.
NUMBER TEN: DRINK MO' WATER
It's a must. Water is possibly the most boring of beverages. I literally will be sitting at work so thirsty, I can barely swallow. I force myself to drink water. Maybe I should start making a game of it in order to get my 64 oz in per day.
NUMBER NINE: DRINK LESS LIQUORS
Unfortunately for me, my favorite beverage is champagne. It doesn't even have to be expensive. I never have to force myself to drink champagne. Maybe I should start drinking water out of a champagne glass.
NUMBER EIGHT: PORTFOLIO DEVELOPMENT.
My portfolio is completely out of date. I need to update it to include garments, and jewelry. I need to research professional portfolios to see what they really look like, and not what I think they look like. I took a portfolio development class while in school, so I have a strong idea, but I have a portfolio that includes 3 very specific types of items: garment, jewelry, and leather goods. I'd love ideas of how to divide these up in a professional attractive, way.

NUMBER SEVEN: COOKING.
This year, I want to eat better, and learn how to prepare meals that are restaurant quality. I'm a pretty good cook, but I want to experiment with various techniques, and flavors.
NUMBER SIX: CLOSET MAINTENANCE
I stumbled across this great little app - Stylish Girl. It's a closet maintenance app. I'm in love. It works great on my HTC Amaze.

NUMBER FIVE: CLEAN EDGE BINDINGS
In persual of continuous learning, I'm always looking for new ways to do things. I found this great tutorial on bindings. French couture bias binding with a bit of an American swing. (Couture and American in the same sentence. Yeah, an oxymoron.)

This is a pretty good tutorial for binding the neck edge of a knit garment.
NUMBER FOUR: RESURGENCE OF POLYVORE
I forgot just how much I love Polyvore. It's so fun to create collages, and look through pretty clothing.
