December Challenge: An attempt at living the wholesome life - one pin at a time

This December I plan to live the Pinterest life. And this is how it works - no matter how busy I get, or how lazy I am on a given day, I would still find time to do and enjoy the good things that I like. And also click a lot of pictures. Pictures of the morning tea in my yellow coffee mug, of my new favorite furniture in the morning light, of the street on my way to work, of the winter mist, of the books I read, of the nice things I buy and of all the cooking I plan to do this month. Yeah thing about cooking is, I enjoy cooking, but like they say life gets in between.
But this December I plan to do a whole lot of cooking. Once every two days, at the very least. And nothing that I have already cooked – all those exotic blog recipes – all those evenings of master chef Australia seasons 1, 2, 3 and 4 and all the Nigella Lawson sumptuousness will now have their moments in my kitchen :D. I will also read a lot. And walk a lot. because i really like to walk. So, essentially Pinterest life to me means - finding time to do what i like, each single day. Trying to be the best I can be – in everything. And taking charge of things – doing things that I want to do – no blame game nothing. And being a little happier perhaps. I will post here every three days – a chronicle of what I am doing to live the Pinterest life. One pin at a time.

    2. I think the correct word is fait-accompli :)

  2. Great idea. My version would look quite similar to yours, except the cooking. That would be saved for my "make-yourself-miserable" week.

    2. Quite the opposite. I hate (yes, "hate" is the word) cooking. So, on the rare occasion that I do cook, I make it a point that the whole world knows. It's quite a big deal for me. But to be honest, most of the pics you see are of dishes cooked by hubby :)
