1. Eat odd sandwiches.

2. Shatter something intentionally - a plate, glass, anything that makes a fantastic noise upon destruction.

3. Go to a museum or zoo you are familiar with, and give free tours.

4. Along with your home, remember to spring clean your body and soul.

5. Cut out all your favorite pictures & articles from your old magazines, and paste them into a scrapbook to create the "best magazine ever." It takes up less space than keeping all those rags, and every page is sure to dazzle!

6. Prepare an "overnight beauty bag": stock it with an extra set of your daily beauty supplies and overnight essentials, so you are always ready for an impromptu adventure!

7. Keep a master list of all the projects and ideas you come up with on a day-to-day basis. Keep it on the desktop of your computer, or pasted somewhere you can see it, for a continual inspiration fix.

8. Seek out a mentor in your chosen or dream profession. Send a letter of introduction, and don't be afraid to put yourself out there.

9. At least once a year, apply for a dream job. Especially if you don't think you don't stand a chance at getting it.

10. Remember to give the world something beautiful every day.
