New Year’s Resolution Ideas – Make This Your Best Year Ever

Categories: Inspiration
January 8, 2019 Tags:
Apa yang akan kamu tulis untuk Next Chapter di hidupmu? Itu semua terserah padamu, ambil langkah pasti untuk membuat Chapter lebih baik dari tahun lalu,dengan mengatur resolusimu tahun ini.  

Learn Something New Each Day.

Set the resolution to learn something new every day in order to have a better understanding of the world and how it works. Fortunately, the internet makes it incredibly easy to learn new things. Here are three sites you can try:
  • Subscribe to Wikipedia’s Featured Article mailing list – you’ll receive an email each morning containing Wikipedia’s featured article for that day.
  • Watch a CrashCourse video on YouTube. CrashCourse is an educational YouTube channel started by the Green brothers, Hank Green and John Green. Each video is about 15 minutes long and they cover subjects such as literature, biology, history, economics, and so on.  The cherry on top is that the videos are fun to watch.
  • Watch a TED Talk every morning while you eat breakfast.

Play More.

Play is an important source of relaxation and stimulation for adults. In addition, it can make you more creative and productive. Bring more play into your life by making it a New Year’s resolution.

Eat Fewer Calories.

There are many reasons why most of us should set a resolution of eating fewer calories. The most obvious reason is to lose weight. After all, carrying excess weight puts us at a greater risk of a whole range of serious health problems, including heart disease, diabetes, and some cancers. With all of the contradictory information out there on what to eat, sometimes it’s hard to decide what to do when you want to lose weight. I try to keep things simple. When I want to lose weight, I just eat less. I recommend you do the same. If you gained weight in 2018, resolve to eat smaller portions in 2019. In addition, as I wrote in my post 17 Ways to Slow Down Aging and Live Longer, people eating a restricted diet live longer and endure fewer age-related diseases. Try eating until you’re satisfied, instead of full. Also, eat more slowly to allow your body to send you cues about fullness. Other reasons for eating less are ethical–that is, social justice, animal rights issues, and environmental concerns–but we won’t go into those here.

Write a Business Plan.

Make 2018 the year you stop thinking about starting a business and you start taking action –it’s OK if it’s a small business on the side. The first step to take is to write a business plan. Once you get your ideas down on paper, you’ll be that much more motivated to turn those ideas into reality.

Move More.

It doesn’t matter what you choose to do: join a sports team; get a pedometer and take at least 10,000 steps a day; get up every 20 minutes and stretch; or join a dance class. Just move! Living a sedentary life dumbs you down, it makes it more likely that you’ll be overweight, and it puts you at a higher risk of depression. Think of the following quote from the movie “Madagascar“: “Move it nice and sweet and sassy, alright!”

Be  More Grateful.

If you haven’t climbed aboard the gratitude bandwagon yet, this is the year to do it. There are studies that show that gratitude can make you 25% happier. Think about that for a second: you can be 25% happier simply by taking the time to count your blessings and think of all the good things in you life! Being grateful will also help you to overcome adversity, improve the quality of your sleep, and allow you to get along better with others. For next year, resolve to be more grateful. Here are some gratitude exercises to get you started. Set Aside On-Hour-A-Day to Achieve Your Dreams. Stop telling yourself that you simply don’t have the time to work on your dreams. Whatever your dreams are–whether it’s to make more money so you can redecorate your home, learn to play an instrument, have a positive impact on the world, and so on–you can accomplish those dreams in just one-hour-a-day.

Learn a New Skill.

What have you always wanted to learn to do? Do you want to learn to play an instrument, code, knit, whittle? The possibilities are endless. Take advantage of all of the information that exists out there on how to learn new skills quickly and reach the end of 2018 with a couple of new skills under your belt.

How to Make (and Keep) a New Year’s Resolution

Categories: Inspiration
January 6, 2019 Tags:

Pick the Right Resolution, Setiap tahun tidak ingin membuat resolusi yang belum tercapai di tahun sebelumnya kan, simak yuk bagaimana Achieve resolusi di tahun ini.

 
According to the time management firm FranklinCovey, one third
of resolutioners don’t make it past the end of January.
A lot of these resolutions fail because they’re not the right resolutions.
And a resolution may be wrong for one of three main reasons:
  • It’s a resolution created based on what someone else (or society) is telling you to change.
  • It’s too vague.
  • You don’t have a realistic plan for achieving your resolution.
Your goals should be smart — and SMART. That’s an acronym coined
in the journal Management Review in 1981 for specific, measurable,
achievable, relevant and time-bound. It may work for management,
but it can also work in setting your resolutions, too.

• SPECIFIC

Your resolution should be absolutely clear. “Making a concrete goal is
really important rather than just vaguely saying ‘I want to lose weight.
’ You want to have a goal: How much weight do you want to lose and
at what time interval?” said Katherine L. Milkman, an associate professor
of operations information and decisions at the Wharton School of the
University of Pennsylvania. “Five pounds in the next two months —
that’s going to be more effective.”

• MEASURABLE

This may seem obvious if your goal is a fitness or weight loss related one,
but it’s also important if you’re trying to cut back on something, too.
If, for example, you want to stop biting your nails, take pictures of your
nails over time so you can track your progress in how those nails grow
back out, said Jeffrey Gardere, a psychologist and professor at
Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine. Logging progress into a journal
or making notes on your phone or in an app designed to help you track
behaviors can reinforce the progress, no matter what your resolution may be.

• ACHIEVABLE

This doesn’t mean that you can’t have big stretch goals. But trying to take
too big a step too fast can leave you frustrated, or affect other areas of your life
to the point that your resolution takes over your life — and both you and your
friends and family flail. So, for example, resolving to save enough money to retire
in five years when you’re 30 years old is probably not realistic, but saving an
extra $100 a month may be. (And if that’s easy, you can slide that number up
to an extra $200, $300 or $400 a month).

• RELEVANT

Is this a goal that really matters to you, and are you making it for the right reasons?
“If you do it out of the sense of self-hate or remorse or a strong passion in that
moment, it doesn’t usually last long,” said Dr. Michael Bennett, a psychiatrist and
co-author of two self-help books. “But if you build up a process where you’re thinking
harder about what’s good for you, you’re changing the structure of your life,
you’re bringing people into your life who will reinforce that resolution, then
I think you have a fighting chance.”

• TIME-BOUND

Like “achievable,” the timeline toward reaching your goal should be realistic, too.
That means giving yourself enough time to do it with lots of smaller intermediate
goals set up along the way. “Focus on these small wins so you can make gradual
progress,”Charles Duhigg, author of “The Power of Habit” and a former New York
Times writer, said. “If you’re building a habit, you’re planning for the next decade,
not the next couple of months.

Cute DIY Birthday Card Ideas

Categories: Inspiration
December 26, 2018 Tags:
Bikin birthday cards sendiri akan lebih berkesan dari pada harus belikan? Coba yuk bikin birthday card dari bahan-bahan yang sering kita temui disekitar kita,..  
1. Kissing buttons cards Adding a bit of a 3D element to a card is always fun, and it’s totally visually appealing too. We love the way the buttons contrast with the thin, simple lines of the stick drawing in this kissing love note card by Paolo Jacopo Medda!  
2. Hiding bear card
Do you love novelty cards that open and unfold? Then you might like this adorable cartoon bear who’s clearly prepared for a surprise party!   3 . Paper doily cupcake card If you’ve ever browsed our site before, you probably already know how much we love DIY projects that upcycle or use unconventional materials. That’s why we like this cute little cupcake card made with a paper doily so much!  
5. String balloon card Designing a card that’s cute on the outside is definitely a good idea, but we also like cards that are cute on the inside too! The Thrifty Ginger suggests cutting out paper balloons and banner flags and then using pieces of coloured string to actually make a little pop up party scene when the card opens.
 
6. Washi tape candle card If you love bright colours and patterns but you’re not very confident in your drawing and painting skills just yet, then try using washi tape to make pictures with nice straight lines and clean edges! It comes in so many patterns and colour combinations that we doubt you’ll have trouble making a fun birthday candle design like this one by Omiyage.   https://www.diys.com/birthday-card-ideas/

1. Spray mini Bundt pans with oil. Fill the pans halfway up with packaged cake batter. (Tip: Use a mini ice cream scoop.) Arrange on a tray and bake according to cake package directions. 2. Melt green Candy Melts in the microwave. Dip the top of a cooled cake into melted candy, then place on parchment paper. Add sprinkles immediately. 3. Use a red licorice string to tie a tiny bow. (Don’t knot the bow too tightly or it will break.) Press bow into Candy Melt and let cakes set, about 30 min. Serve Stack your food spread with some healthy options, too. These Santa-Claus-on-a-stick fruit snacks feature pieces of banana, strawberry hats, and big and mini marshmallows (for the hat’s pom-pom and trim) on skewers. Add red candies and chocolate sprinkles for the face. Or make aChristmas tree out of broccoli florets arranged flat on a tray, with draping carrot stick garlands, cherry tomato bulbs, and a star topper made from yellow pepper slices. https://www.todaysparent.com/family/birthday-parties/how-to-throw-a-holiday-party-for-kids/

Cookie Milkshake Recipe For Christmas

Categories: Inspiration
December 25, 2018 Tags:
Ingin membuat sesuatu yang special saat Christmas untuk mengisi liburan bareng keluarga? yuk, coba bikin Cookie Milkshake   

Ingredients

2 cups ice cream (any flavor) 1 cup milk 4 to 8 cookies (depends on type chosen)
Steps to Make It Blend ice cream and milk in a blender.  
Blend until smooth and serve. Throw a Cookie Milkshake Party Customized cookie milkshakes are a great idea for a children's party. Put out several toppings and let the children choose their favorite cookie and ice cream flavor combos. Use small cups so the kids can taste different options, as they like to mix up traditional combinations and they probably want to play around with different ingredients. Line up a few different blenders to make these concoctions, then start blending and serve a few different types of milkshakes. If you want to put a fancy spin on things, you can probably find cute plastic cups to jazz up the milkshakes. Here a few cookie milkshake options for a great party:
  • The Cookie Monster: Combine Oreos and vanilla or chocolate ice cream into a smooth milkshake with a fun name.
  • Peanut Butter Surprise: Peanut butter ice cream and Nutter Butters or peanut butter cookies, a cookie milkshake combo that you will not soon forget. (Beware of peanut allergies.) You could add a surprise by tossing in a peanut butter cup or chocolate chips.
  • Caramel Frap: Similar to a caramel frappuccino, this cookie milkshake blends snickerdoodles and salted caramel ice cream into a Starbucks-like creation.
  • The Animal: Animal crackers and vanilla ice cream incorporate simple flavors into a delicious treat. Make it a birthday party hit with sprinkles (actually, add sprinkles to every cookie milkshake).
  • Cookie Dough Milkshake: Traditional chocolate chip cookies and vanilla ice cream or chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream...when blended, it's bliss.
  • Gumby Shake: Blend up Thin Mints into chocolate or chocolate chip mint ice cream and you've got your own version of a Shamrock shake.Another way to create a cute presentation with your cookie milkshakes is to place a cookie on top of the milkshake. Poke a hole through it before you put the cookie on top and then stick a straw through the cookie. Or crumble cookie bits on top of the milkshake so kids can see the kinds of cookies involved. You can always pre-make the cookie milkshakes and then freeze them prior to serving.    https://www.thespruceeats.com/cookie-milkshake-recipe-305397

Snowman Ornaments To Make For Christmas

Categories: Inspiration
December 24, 2018 Tags:
Ini akan menjadi ide yang bagus dan menyenangkan untuk anak-anak saat merayakan Christmas dengan membuat sebuah ornament atau kerajinan tangan untuk mengisi liburan!  

SNOWMAN ORNAMENT TO MAKE FOR CHRISTMAS:

Supplies Needed: • Acrylic Paint in White, Black and Orange • Paint Brush • Baby Food Jar or other jar (you can get them in the glass section at Hobby Lobby or other craft stores) • Ribbon
 
Paint your jar with your white acrylic paint. It’s going to take about 4 coats to cover it if you want it really white, and you have to let it dry in between, so be ready to be a little patient. Paint the lid of the jar with your black acrylic paint. This won’t take quite as many coats-maybe just two to cover it completely. Once your jar and lid are totally dry, paint your face on your jar. I used the back of my paintbrush and my black acrylic paint to create the eyes and mouth of my little snowman. (I tested it out on paper first to make sure I had it how I wanted it.)
Then, grab your lid. Use a hammer to put a nail right through the top center:
Pull the nail out and now you should have a hole in your lid. Cute a piece of ribbon about 6 inches long. Poke both ends of the ribbon through and tie a knot on the underside:
Now your lid will dangle from a loop of ribbon:
Screw your lid back onto your jar and you’ve got yourself a cute little snowman ornament for Christmas! https://crazylittleprojects.com/snowman-ornaments-for-christmas/

How to Throw a Star Party

Categories: Inspiration
December 9, 2018 Tags:
Bingung mau tema apa untuk merayakan ulang tahun anak-anak? Bagaimana dengan mencoba tema  “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star”   

DECORATION

1. Make your own banners by printing your message in big, blocky letters. Attach your printouts to sparkly coloured card stock using a gentle tape like washi. Cut out the letters and hole-punch the tops. String them together and adjust as necessary. Use the banners to decorate a wall or a high chair. 2. It’s super easy to transform your holiday LED lights into a twinkling string of stars for your birthday celebration. Just cut stars out of white paper, hole-punch the centre of each and place on the bulbs. Use a little tape to secure if they won’t stay on.    

CRAFT

You’ll need: Scissors, a hot glue gun, 2 or 3 craft felt sheets in different colours, ribbon and 4 pompoms. 1. Cut 2 crowns out of felt. Cut 3 stars out of different coloured felt and hot-glue to one of the crowns. Glue pompoms to the points. 2. Glue the two crown pieces together, then glue ribbon around the base of the crown. 3. Test out the crown for fit, and trim the long lengths of ribbon if needed.
 

SNACK

Your guests’ parents will appreciate the tummy-filling and mood-calming protein in this super-easy party snack. Simply use a cookie cutter to create a cheese star and then insert a pretzel stick.  

DETAILS

Dress up partygoers’ drinks by simply cutting out stars and then snipping two parallel slits in the middle of each one. Weave the stars over straws. Tip: Round the stars’ points a bit so they don’t poke anyone!   https://www.todaysparent.com/family/birthday-parties/how-to-throw-a-star-party/
