1. Try wearing rings on every finger.

2. Pick an item you absolutely hate (crop tops, leggings, stripes) and try to incorporate it into an outfit you are proud of. Everything has potential.

3. Make your own leggings, a la Queen Michelle.

4. Ask yourself, "Are you happy?" Then ask yourself what you need to be so. Then go after those things.

5. Make your own marshmallows.

6. Organize a fall cleaning: pack up summer clothes, bring out the heavy blankets and humidifiers, and decorate your home in warm autumn colors. Personal favorite: stocking up on delicious pumpkin candles. Or even better, make your own pumpkin candles, out of real pumpkins!

7. Begin making "goody bags" for trick-or-treaters. Fill them with toy jewelry, old fashioned rock candy, and gold chocolate coins. Write spooky ghost stories on burned scraps of paper for a perfect finishing touch.

8. Each morning when you wake, take a few moments to set your intention for the day.

9. Think up five ways to wear a scarf.

10. Wear a kimono.
