Unfortunately I still have not recovered from the nastly flu I’ve got. I am getting really sick of being sick, but getting frustrated doesn’t help a bit. Hopefully the stuff I got from the pharmacist will help me get better soon. In the mean time I would like to wish every one a great weekend!!

One of the things I hate about being sick (beside feeling absolutely crap) is being bored as well. I can not do all the things that I had planned to do. Every now and then I may lay on the couch to watch TV (like the MotoGP races, I surely would not miss that no matter how sick I would be), but other than that I don’t do much and that’s so boring!

Anyway, my hubby came with the suggestion to listen to an audio book and I must admit that his idea was brilliant! I might not feel like reading a book, but listening to one while you lay in bed curled up under the blankets is just great. Maybe you should try it as well!

No, this is not a question to ask you what your next New Years resolutions are. I just would like to know how many of you - who made New Years Resolutions  last year - are still sticking to it?

• Did you stop smoking?
• Are you still working towards your goal weight?
• Did you finally tell your crush how you feel about him/her?
• ……?

Personally I reached the goal that I set myself; losing the weight I had gained that year. But… I have now set new goals and I am still working on them.

How about you? Are you still sticking to your New Years resolutions?

Lately we’ve heard a lot about how much money the Olympic Gold medalists can earn by doing endorsements for products and companies. Now I think it is great for them that their hard work has paid of, but it kind of made me wonder about whether or not people would buy products just because it gets endorsed by their (favorite) celebrity.

One commercial for example about how to get rid of acne has Jessica Simpson, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Vanessa Williams in it. The product is pretty popular, but I kind of wonder if that is because it’s simply a good product or if it is because of all the celebrities.

Personally I don’t think I would let a celebrity influence me on what product to buy, but I’ve seen so many examples of people who religiously buy the same clothes the celebs wear and the products they endorse. What about you? Do you let a celebrity influence you when buying a product?

The first time I heard the term condo hotel I wasn’t sure what it was. Is it a condo or is it a hotel? Curious as always I decided to look it up, so here’s what I found. A condo hotel is usually one of those high-rise buildings operating as luxury hotels, but that have condo units that serve as a full-service vacation home. When you own one of those condo’s and you’re out of town you can let the hotel do the marketing and management to rent and manage the condo unit as it would a normal hotel room. There you go… Learned another thing on this boring Saturday!
