1. obento inspired picnic, 2. scottsdale acupunture oriental medicine, 3. Tiny explorer at it again, 4. ♥ shhexycorin ♥’s Pink Helicopter

Only a few weeks till school starts for most of us (& others have already started their lectures right?) – i’m pretty excited to start studying at the local university for the first time (it’ll be tough … 3 days a week  till 20:30 after a whole day at the office for the next 3 years will be nothing short of murder ehhhh!!!!). I’ve done most of my stocking up on cute school supplies – i’ll do a post on that soon

how are you guys spending your week?? If you’re still soaking up the last few remnants of L’été like moi – why not add the below suggestions?

• Have an indoor picnic -  Nothing beats the outdoor ones – but what can you do with the weather being so unstable during this time of year?

• Feeling a bit under the weather because of the rapid weather changes? - Try alternative medicine such as tuina, acupressure, or if you’re feeling extra brave – acupuncture treatment

• Dig for fossils! - Organise an expedition with friends (finally i can go on one myself as the weather’s finally cooled down here as well! yay)

• End Summer 2012 in style – Take on the clouds and go up on a sightseeing plane or helicopter ride! Some places even offer you a chance to pilot the helicopter yourself (assisted of course by an experienced pilot ) Awesome experience, right?

The following idea was suggested by Angelica (thanks for your frequent wonderful ideas )

1. Bake cupcakes! There’s tons of different recipes and decorating them is super fun.
2. Have a girl’s night with your gal pals and/or sisters. Make dinner, bake cupcakes, do each others make-up, play board games watch movies.
3. Buy new clothes for fall. A warm and nice knitted scarf perhaps or a winter coat maybe?

Summer’s almost over and i still haven’t done half of the things i’ve planned ! Hahah – blame those heavenly afternoon naps after gym – I’ll try and cram everything in the last month before the winter schedule and university starts again

What have you guys got planned for this week? Read on this week’s 4BW for enlightment

• Buy some fashion magazines … -  like vogue, and pick out  your favourite outfits. Try to recreate these looks in a more affordable way (trust me you can find ANYTHING on ebay !)

• Go out for lunch with one of your parents - get over that ‘it’s uncool’ stage and spend some quality time with them – you might actually like it hehehh 

• Jump in a pool with your clothes on - 

• Need a new inspiration source? - Register yourself on pinterest if you haven’t done so already – it’s an endless source of ideas on anything from beauty, to crafts to interior design!

Do you do a summer to-do list like myself?   

1. Give Me a Hug – 44/365 ADAD, 2. 264(365) Sharpies, 3. …by the seashore, 4. HELP!!!!

First of all – a little update on our little house guest: she successfully left our house and went on to live back in her environment with her fellow bird friends !  (Our little dog Benji is pretty relieved about that – he’s back in the centre of attention now hehehe )

Finally back to our regularly scheduled 4BW posts with weekly suggestions!

•  Sincerely compliment a total stranger - You never know whose crappy day you might transform into an awesome one

• Write a “Letter to the Editor” - Got an opinion, idea or suggestion to share? Write a letter to your favourite magazine and let your voice be heard

• Scavenge the beach for treasure - you never know what you can find Check out this post from the Dainty Squid and look what curious items Kaylah found! Awesome right??

• Do some charity work … - Visit your favourite charity organisation and ask them to tell you what work they require to be done – ask friends and family to help you join and split the tasks! I’ve been to a similar event before the summer started with some work colleagues – i’ve come back sunburnt and tired, but it was so much fun helping them and helping to feed the animals the organisation takes care of!

The following idea was suggested by Eternal*Voyageur (thankyou so much for your contributions!)

1.  Get some cheapo nail colour in the craziest, wackiest colour you can find! Wear it proudly on your tootsies.
2. Dab a little bit of essential oil inside your bag. Every time you open it yu will get a delightful whiff of a lovely scent, instead of the old-bag smell.
3. Dab the teeniest amount of essentia oil or perfume on letters and packages. Imagine the recepient opening your scented envelope.
4. Invest in a pair of in-ear headphones. The sound is just so much better!
