Okay…there are certain phrases that I use in my every day language, or that I hear others use in their language and I always think, “man, I love that!”  So I wanted to share one of my favorites with you today.  But first, a little non-related background on the phrase.  You know how there are way too many “Free Willy” movies and way too may “Land Before Time Movies?”  Well it seems there is another film series that is being beaten to death.  “Bring it On.” It’s a cheer movie, and I am sure, well it seems, that every year there is a new one of these cheer flicks.  Anyways, one of my favorite lines in the movie that I love to MOCK is “Bring It On,” and then the opponent says, “OH, I’ll Bring it.”  It just cracks me up.  So, here is my good idea, just once I want the cheerleaders to say, “It’s On,” and then her opponent would say the phrase of the day,”Oh, It’s on, It’s on like Donkey Kong!”  I know super random, but that’s how my brain works!!

There are so many beauty tips out there, whether it has to do with our hair, makeup, skin, or even our bodies.  Well, I have found one of the greatest sites, in my opinion, that showcases all these great secrets, good ideas and tips in one place.  Have you ever seen a beautiful movie star and wanted her makeup secrets, or maybe you loved her hair style and wanted to mimic it on yourself or a friend.  Maybe you wondered how to make your skin soft and smooth, or get the flattest abs. Well, there is a place on the web that covers all these tips.  It’s YOUTUBE!  That’s right.  I know many of us have heard of this site before while watching cute, hilarious, or inspirational clips, but YOUTUBE isn’t just about those things.  Go to youtube.com and there are tons of different categories, but the one category I am talking about is “Howto & Style.”  After clicking on it, you will find, how to’s on wavy hair, tips on vampire make-up, cool up-to-date looks, exercise tips, and so much more.  There are even clips on how to cut certain hair styles.  It’s the very best and if you don’t see what you are looking for, just type it in the Youtube search bar and you will find it.  Let’s say I wanted to learn how to showcase the messy bun look with a cool braid, well here it is.  Check this fun clip out by Nature’s Knockouts!

This is going to be short and sweet.  If you love to find a good deal on great merchandise or even sell some of your belongings, then my good idea and tip of the day is CRAIGSLIST!  There is a craigslist in almost every major city in the U.S. and all throughout the world.  If I wanted to find a vacation rental in Sydney, Australia, I could with the assistance of Craigslist.   If I wanted to find a new or used car, furniture, Nintendo DS games, or maybe the kitchen sink, I could find it here.  Craigslist is an online classified section, including; jobs, housing, personals, for sale items, services, community, events, and forums all in your local area.  Check it out today if you are looking for that perfect item or maybe even want to sell your own!  A WORD TO THE WISE>>>>>be aware and careful of spammers!  If anyone e-mails you asking for your personal information, do not send it.  Or if they ask you to receive a cashiers check, steer clear.  We have sold and purchased on Craigslist and it’s one of our favorite secrets, however one must be careful and cautious!!

With this being the end of 2009 and the beginning of our 2010, many of us will be setting New Year’s Resolutions for ourselves.  A “Resolution” is now just a glorified term for something “We are going to try real hard to accomplish.” But the truth is, most individuals give it a good TRY for about a month and a half, and then find themselves back in their old habits and mindset.  However, There is a way to get better results when setting your resolutions!!!  This is exciting news, I KNOW.  I have actually put this principal into practice, and IT WORKS!!!  So, I wanted to share some good ideas with you about Goal Setting, or Resolution Making!  There is a fabulous article written by  Arina Nikitina, called
