As a break from my recent more serious posts, I thought I’d share something lighthearted for a change. Here are some things I want to do soon (hopefully… the sooner the better):

1. I want to discover my signature scent. I’m not a big fan of perfumes, but I would like to have one special scent – light, wearable for everyday, that I can really call my own. One that I can say perfectly complements my personality and body chemistry.
2. Wear a 2-piece swimsuit with confidence! As embarrassing as it may seem, I’ve never worn a 2-piece in my entire life. I’d like to do this while I’m still *ahem* young. But more than that, I really want to be more confident in the skin/body that I have.
3. Learn to pose and be comfortable in front of a camera. I would like to be more at ease and to find out what my best angles are. This is partially in preparation for my wedding day, so my fiancé and I can have a beautiful wedding photos for our album. It’s also a good reason for me to explore a different side of myself, as I’m usually very low-key.
4. Find a pair of high heels that not only look good on me but are so comfortable that I can wear them the whole day without feeling any pain. Unfortunately, my wider than average size 8 feet make it so hard to find shoes that fit well. Most comfortable shoes look so unfeminine and the nice looking ones are torture to wear for more than a couple of hours, let alone walk in.
5. Make a gradual switch to 100% organic and environment-friendly personal care products. I have some organic shampoos and moisturizers that I use pretty regularly, but I’m still searching for good organic soaps, and other products that work well and are still budget-friendly.
6. Get the services of a personal stylist for a day (preferably for free), to come up with a wardrobe that would be comfortable and let my personality shine through. For some reason, although I think my build is quite average, it’s so hard for me to buy clothes that fit me well, and I also find it hard to put together outfits. Maybe it’s because I’m picky about fabric. I want my clothes to be soft and comfortable. Or maybe I’m just stuck in a rut and need to shake things up a little
7. After being able to do item #3 above, I would like to indulge in a photo spa. I read in Cosmo magazine some time back that there’s this studio you can call up to set an appointment with. They’ll do your hair and make-up, provide clothes and backdrops, and have skilled photographers on hand to do a couple of hours’ photo shoot with you. This is something I’ve never done before but I think it would be pretty cool to have that experience. Plus the pictures would be a nice souvenir you can keep for years to come.
8. Be physically and mentally fit. There’s no shortcut to this wish. I need to set aside a regular time daily (or every other day) to exercise, and I need to eat more healthily and live a more balanced lifestyle.
