rock this little sequined number under your work blazer? Business on the outside, party on the inside! You can be all coyly buttoned up from 9-5 and then de-blazer once after-work drinks roll around and wow that hottie from marketing.
embrace the 'no hair' shower? Now that it's getting colder and dryer, I am sporting some deeply sexy straw-like hair. Thus! I am huge fan of the 'no hair' shower. It takes all of three minutes, wakes me up, allows me an opportunity to use my sandalwood soap and doesn't dry my hair out. If I'm really ambitious, I rub some gel through my hair, put it into buns and let the steam work its magic. By the time I'm ready for work, I take the buns out and have sexy, messy, wavy hair. With almost no effort! Which, coincidentally, is my favorite amount of effort!
patent your own dinner-party conversation starter? Blah blah "What do you do?" "How do you know _____?" "Have you seen any good movies lately?' blah. How's about "If you could have the power of flight or invisibility which would you choose?" or "What's the longest you've gone without sleeping?" or "What's your least favorite word?" or "What's the best costume you've ever worn?" And look at that! You clever minx, you! You're the life of the party!
send a real, actual piece of mail to someone you love? We're talking about the real thing, now. Proper stationary (maybe even scented?!), hand-written and bonus points for including something silly and sparkly that falls out when they open the envelope.

If I met someone for the first time at a party and this person asked me, "If you could have the power of flight or invisibility which would you choose?" I would hug this person. Immediately.
yay, and you extol the value of the no-hair shower! thank you for teaching me that it's okay...
ah, I am jealous of your ability to make buns into no-effort hair. Mine just turns out all kinds of sad and I have to pull it back in a ponytail to save myself from the shame.
Fantastic suggestions! I used to work with elementary school kids at an after-school setup, and I started many a conversation with them like that. I never would have thought to do it with an adult! You can even grab their attention by prefacing the question with, "Now, this is really important..."
"embrace the 'no hair' shower?"
thank you for the wonderful idea! i usually wash my hair at night to spare myself time in the morning, but i never though of adding some gel and making waves!
thanks!
The no-hair shower is so awesome, guys! I love it because I am a) lazy b) dirty ... so you can get up later and spend less time 'styling' you hair.
Erin, did you ever try the trick (with really little kids) where you ask them to give you a 'low five' and then yank your hand away before they slap it? Sounds mean, but they think it's hilarious and now you're their best friend and you have an inside joke and they want to spend all afternoon trying to give you five.
