Explore more of this beautiful island.
Wear more red.
Spend more time laughing at silly things.
Take long drives with my thoughts and music.
Buy more books, clothes, shoes, accessories and handbags. What can I say, I'm a material girl. ;)
Travel. Lots.
Eat out more with family and friends. {I'm a very healthy eater so I tend to shun most restaurants but I think I'm going to change that this year. The eating out part, not the healthy part!}
Sleep!
Watch more rom-coms.
Do what I want to no matter what my loved ones think. {Trust me, this last one is difficult but I'm learning to do it.}

My 16 Rules For Living

Posted by Shabana Feroze January 25, 2012

I promised you in this Rules for Living post that I'd give you my own Rules for Living. It took me a few months, but here they are:

Never put yourself down. There are enough people to do it for you.
It's alright to flip out once in a while. Just as long as the flipping out doesn't take too long and then you take action to solve the reason for flipping out.
You're the best version of yourself when you're in pursuit of your dream. And you attract good things to yourself. So always, always chase your dream.
If it made you happy, don't regret it.
When you're independent, people want you to depend on them.
Don't do for people what they can and should do for themselves.
You have one body for your entire life. Take good care of it.
The most successful people are the ones who apply logic in all scenarios.
After applying logic, listen to your instinct. It's almost always right.
Never overestimate others' intelligence. Never underestimate your own.
Life is too long to hold grudges. And carrying all that anger around only tires you.
Never reveal your weaknesses to anyone. Work on them secretly.
You can be your own best friend by not letting others influence your judgment.
Always stick with people who know they are flawed and ridiculous.
Be kind and gentle, being harsh and angry gets you nowhere.
Before forgiving someone else, learn to forgive yourself first.

Hype this look on lookbook.nu here.

Stop thinking and over-analyzing things so much.
Take out more time to relax.
Try out as many new experiences as possible.
Take frequent short breaks from work.
Make more mistakes and make them with boldness.
Wear more red.
Tell people when I'm angry/ annoyed with them as soon as possible.
Join a Tango Class.
Be more gentle with myself and stop berating myself so much.
Take the time out to read more.
Go to Canada to meet my cousin Ruby and her family.
Hug more.
Listen to my intuition rather than my brain.
Remember the things that make me happy and do them often.
Make new friends and spend more time with old ones.

P.S: I went to Maya La Chocolaterie in Seef Mall yesterday with some friends. I firmly believe that you MUST end the year with chocolate. I didn't take any pictures of us ladies, just the chocolate. I have my priorities straight.

Feel free to drool.

Dark Chocolate Fondant for me. D-E-C-A-D-E-N-T.

Rose Hot Chocolate. Delicate and lovely.

White Chocolate Fondue. A nice change for the palate from the dark chocolate.

And this year I vow to pay more visits to Maya!

So Ciao 2011 and Ciao to 2012. Ciao means both hello and goodbye. And that's your little nugget of knowledge right there. Don't you just love my blog? ;)

Have a good week! xoxo
