Painting is something I really love to do. I love color and, though I am picky about colors for rooms, I love to apply the paint. It transforms a room and environment with just one stroke! I like being able to see my progress as I move across the room with the roller. A simple and perhaps unusual thing to like but I do!

A fabulous piece of software. Again, endless possibilities. You can do so many things with Photoshop: make a brochure, eliminate red eye, make a black and white photo or even make a whole picture book! The interface is well thought out, easy to learn and the tools and features are numerous and useful. I use it a lot when I do editorial work for jobs or in art classes when I want to get something just right. Love it!

A cool, healthy treat. Filled with fruit, they cannot possibly make you feel guilty! I use them when I'm trying to be healthy (aka dieting-ish) and I put protein powder in them so I can make them a whole meal without feeling like I'm abusing myself. You can experiment endlessly with them. Yogurt, milk, cream, juice or ice cream. Strawberries, bananas, mango or berries. Or all of the above! A good blender is crucial, though, so invest some money and make yourself a healthy meal!

It's a major dream of mine. I want to go house shopping and be struck dumb by the perfectness of one. I want to fall in love and be breathless with excitement at finding a place where I can feel myself living and making wonderful memories. I want to paint and decorate and buy furniture. I want to garden and have a stable and a horse in the backyard with dogs and cats running around. I may even want to share it with someone but they'll have to help me clean the place!
