As a resolution this year I want to get back into my blog and make it readable for EVERYONE! Not just girls wanting to hang with the guys, but challenge the guys to keep up with us girls. I want all my readers to complete 7 tasks each week along with me. They are simple, and may seem meaningless at first. I have a feeling that at the end of the year, after the completion of 365 tasks, you will have a new appreciation for the opposite sex and be able to say that you are comfortable with who you are.

6 -14



How Is It Going!
It looks like I gave you a break the first week, because I only gave you five tasks and not seven. WE CAN’T HAVE THAT! No worries I will throw in two more this week to make up for my mistake.

I told you the tasks were going to be way easy. I have a next set of tasks ready to go  ... you might be able to have a little more fun with these too.

Here is the List 
6.) Get some live flowers - They will brighten up your day
7.) Wave at a complete stranger - Be nice :) 
8.) Buy new magazine - You might learn something new
9.) Light a candle - Pick a scent for the right mood
10.) Learn to tie a tie - Stylish for men and women
11.) Buy Chap Stick - DONT LOSE IT!
12.) Listen to sports on the radio - I cheated with this one, it’s my job
13.) Sleep in on Saturday - why not?
14.) Put all of the tasks in your phone from now on with a reminder on high priority - BEST IDEA EVER!

If you want to feel more compassion towards others, have less anxiety, and be more calm studies have shown fresh cut flowers may be able to help. I put my fresh flowers in the middle of the room where I can see them all day long. They defiantly put a smile on my face.

Driving down the road I had that awkward moment where you make eye contact with a person that was walking. Instead of acting like it didn’t happen, (what I normally do) I decided to wave. What do ya know … SHE WAVED BACK! It’s silly I know, but I feel like I made a new friend. 

Buying a new magazine will give new tips and might spike a new interest. I'm normally a Cosmopolitan girl, this time in the check out isle I decided to get SHAPE magazine, and found a few new moves to try out at the gym.


Candles are one of my favorite things. They are an easy way to make any place feel a little cozier. They don't have to be a "girl thing" either. Guys need to check out the Mandle Company you are going to find some crazy scents. Just beware your girlfriend might not be into the "freshly oiled swimsuit model".  Scents do have meaning so when looking to set a particular mood look for the right one.
Happiness scents - Vanilla, Cinnamon, and Green Apple
Sexiness - Cloves, Lavender, oriental Spices
Energy - Lemon, Orange, and Peppermint
Serenity - Chamomile, Thyme, Lavender

This one took a little bit of practice but I finally got it down. I grabbed my little brother and went to Google for a little bit of help. I learned there is more than just one proper way to tie a tie. Now my little brother doesn't need the clip-on, the kids growing up. Now that I know how it’s done I might add it to one of my outfits.

I have always had an issue with  losing my chap stick after searching the web I found out some chap stick is sold with a lip that can clip on to a key ring. People who use this method swear by it. I found some on sale from Amazon. But I just threw it in my wallet so I always have it with me. 
Guess what.....
......I still have it with me!

OK OK, so this wasn't a challenge for me. For you...? Maybe. Hope all of you found a local station that plays live coverage of your favorite team. If you live in my town its WDPN 1310 the AM station that I work at.

After keeping up with the extra challenges this week sleeping in on Saturday was a great idea. You get the power boost that you need to party later in the evening, if you want. Or catch some much needed z's.

From now on try and keep the last task every week. Place all of your challenges in a reminder so that you can cross them off as soon as you’re done.

Hope you have fun with this week’s challenge.
Now get out there and try them yourself :)
