Why don’t you…?

* Make a pact with your living companions? To take turns making a gourmet dinner every say, Tuesday evening? Research beautiful wines to accompanying the meal? Light candles? Buy exotic ingredients? Plan the meal as if you were cooking for aristocrats?

* Go to a cafe alone? No book, no magazine? Order a decadent iced coffee with whipped cream and a cherry? Sit on a bar stool and watch the beautiful people go by?

* Make all your important calls sitting at your desk? Wearing a pencil skirt? Striking items off your yellow legal pad list with an eraser topped pencil? Punching in the phone numbers with fire hydrant red glossed nails? Make like a secretary in Mad Men?

* Start your morning with wordless music? Get a musical minded mate to make you a compilation playlist of their favourite tunes? Jazz? Classical? Make your toast and coffee, barefoot and carefree in the kitchen with a perfect lyric-less soundtrack?

* Buy a large tray to keep your cosmetics on? A vintage drinks tray? A modern Japanese flat dish? Display your daily staples? Lotions? Lipsticks? Keep your bathroom looking like a beauty salon?

* Have a signature blue? Cyan? Persian? Tiffany? Sapphire? Have personalised stationary made in your blue? A leather monogrammed satchel? Coffee mugs? A streak in your hair?

* Collect beautiful glass jars and display them empty on a shelf? Sparkly clean and perfect?
