For the photography lover, $18 at photojojo

A brilliant, functional design for an espresso set and not surprisingly a best seller from MOMA. We have the best coffee machine in the world, Saeco, but it makes one espresso at a time. When we have family over and all 100 of them would like an espresso, this set would save me from making six trips from the kitchen. Plus I also like that this way everyone gets to enjoy their espresso at the same time. Sure I could just get a tray, or make one, but this is much more fun.

It's a new year and the resolutions are in full force. I am going to guess many of you have committed yourself to eating better, getting in shape, cutting out bad foods. This is excellent. However if you have a sweet tooth like myself it's difficult to cut out dessert. That's where portion control comes in. You can have a slice, just don't eat half a cake. Check out this neat "Wheel of Portion" cake platter at Fred Flare. It's on sale too. $19.

*I am sure this product was designed for fun and is not a tool for portion control, but it inspired me to write this post and it is too cute not to share with you.
ps. Have you written any resolutions for 2012? You should, it helps you to stay on track, accomplish things you want to, and be the person you want to be. Sometimes life gets too busy to set these goals at a random time within the year... the start of a new one really is a good excuse to think about what those goals are. Then subconsciously you have them stored, and you will end up accomplishing them. Winning the lottery is not a resolution or a goal. Tried that.

Have a 2012 resolution you like to share? These are good ones.
 
 
Two more days until 2012 and another little printable gift for you. It's a champagne bottle label PLUS a way to make your new year party memorable. In the white space you can have everyone who is celebrating together sign their name, or write a resolution--as long as it's short.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

    CHALLENGE ENDED.
    UPDATE/ AUG 30: I was able to maintain this challenge from August 2011 to about March which to me is pretty impressive in itself no? I admit I was getting discouraged and then on AUGUST 1st I WON a contest. I won VIP tickets to a concert. Was it worth a year of this, maybe not, but I still feel victorious :)
