2016 Review
Kathleen2022-07-30T09:39:35+10:00Another year has come to an end, so it's time to do the 2016 review. Here is a review of the goals I set for myself at the beginning of the year. Check out the original posts 2016 Goals. Goals Read – Rather than actually reading the books on my to-read list, I reevaluated it. I read the synopsis of each book on the list to decided if I really wanted to read it. Lots of books didn't make the cut & I'm ok with it. My current to-read list has 35 books. Make different things for dinner – I think I [...]
Christmas Tree Decorating Tips
Kathleen2026-05-11T15:00:03+10:00As much as I love Christmas, the tree is the only Christmas decoration I put up. It was almost the only Christmas decoration I had growing up. There was an inflatable Santa & an inflatable reindeer. But after a few years they stopped being used, I guess they got holes in them. I like to set up my tree on December 1 but of course, it doesn't always happen. Christmas Tree Decorating Tips Pick two (three at most) complementary colours to decorate your tree. Some great combinations are red & silver, red & gold, silver & gold, blue & silver [...]

Reverse Bucket List
Kathleen2022-07-30T09:39:52+10:00A reverse bucket list is a bucket list of the items I have already completed. Of course, this isn't the extensive list, I do like to keep a few things to myself! In case you missed it, there are still quite a few items on my bucket list. Reverse Bucket List Gamble in Las Vegas – I managed to win about $90 after only putting in $3 (2013) Buy a real Louis Vuitton bag – I saved up to buy a Multicolore Speedy 30 in white (Champs Elysée, France 2011) Ride around London in a double-decker bus (2011) Eat pizza, [...]
YouTube Limelight: Jenna Marbles
Kathleen2023-06-20T07:03:03+10:00Each month I feature one of my favourite YouTube channels. Sharing the little things I like about them and of course the video I like best. This month's favourite is Jenna Marbles. I can’t remember when I discovered Jenna's YouTube channel but I have had hours and hours of entertainment from her channel. Some of my favourite videos start with titles like "what girls/guys do/think". Then there are so many videos of her impersonations of celebrities. This video seems appropriate as I am now in the last year of my 20’s and could use some of this advice. Some of [...]
Bucket List
Kathleen2022-07-30T09:39:44+10:00buck·et list noun. a number of experiences or achievements that a person hopes to have or accomplish during their lifetime. A bucket list is a list of things you want to do before you're past your prime & kick the bucket, meaning die. This isn’t an exhaustive or final list, I’m sure there will be much more to add as I continue through life. I have tried to make them as specific as possible, although most of the specific goals have I already completed. Some require funding or travel & all need a fair bit of planning, but most really just [...]
