#3 Learn Something New: Ok, so I'm tired of spending money on eyelash extensions. I love them, as I don't feel the need to wear any mascara or eyeliner when I have them on. I wake up in the morning and bat my eyelashes in the mirror and feel beeee-u-ti-fuI (everyone should try it at least once...I did and was hooked, and I only get the natural looking kind, not the thick "glamour" ones). Anyway, I am an eye-rubber so I tend to rub those babies off prematurely and have to get refills, so the $$$ adds up (the Kid, on the other hand, managed to have her first one last for almost 4 months - she is definitely NOT an eye-rubber).

Anyhoo...so today, the something new I (actually the Kid and I) are going to learn is how to do lash lifts (i.e., lash perms) on my eyelashes with this kit I bought. I had lash lifts done before I was doing extensions, and the results are pretty good, not as good as extensions, but good enough; lifts are also less expensive than extensions. But...if I/we do it at home, its even cheaper! Cross your fingers that my lashes don't get fried. Or fall off. Or I go blind.

Okay, the 4th is Exercise, refresh my memory on what #3 is, want to do this in a successful manner, really be committed, now and in the future. These challenges make you freshen up your plans, and also you do feel a part of a group, even if our journeys differ we can wave at each other on the pathway.

I am taking an arts and craft type class- something I am totally not into but I had fun at my first class so we shall see.

Day 3 - Learn something new: On today's schedule are a couple of events at my church... one new (a talk from our Bishop) and one old favourite (Lenten soup supper & prayer service). I'm interested to hear what the Bishop will have to say and hope that I will learn something new from him.

#3 Learn something new. The hubs and I are planning to take a sailing class because we want to retire and live on a boat in the tropics.

I agree- let us know- i just made an appt for a lift and tint but curious how the at home kit works

I’ve said earlier that I’ve gotten my paints out. Today I’m really trying to learn how to glaze in watercolor properly. A bit boring but very exciting and rewarding to me ??

#3 Learn the Cyrillic alphabet just because I’ve always wanted to.

Ok, so I'm signed up for a course that begins in May that will increase my skills at work but will also be transformative for me. And today, at my follow up, I learned that I can take fibre supplements if I feel the need. They were very pleased with me so that made me feel good and one of my clients complimented me today.

And, I did my crunches and squats for the day! Even made it to the gym between the follow up and my first client at work today so that makes me feel good.

I'm loving the fitness challenge. The new thing I learned today was the correct form for a crunch. I've been watching basic videos on YouTube to make sure I'm doing exercises safely and correctly.

So today I learned that there is a consignment store opening up next month and they are now accepting items for store credit.
Which means this girl is going to be doing a bunch of laundry and organizing so she can turn in old clothes that no longer fit.
By next month, I might actually need to get a few things
