On Monday morning I woke up to discover Sweet Pea Sister sweetly prepared me a special playlist to get me pumped up this week, here is an excerpt of the note that accompanied the songs...

"On this very special morning, I have put together a very special mix tape for you, named MOM. Because nothing can cheer/pep you up, like a mom.. hehehe.

M.O.M. stands for Morning Of Mixtape! It's a compilation of happy, fun, inspiring and random songs that I thought you would enjoy listening to the morning of your big week."

I love my mom, but I must say Sweat Pea Sis certainly knows how to cheer and pep me all on her own ;)

Now to share what I've been listening to every morning this week to get my groove on... Track one of M.O.M....

Thank you again dear, Sweet Pea! And wishing you all an excellent week!

PS - What are some of your favourite songs to dance to in the morning?

(Belated) Happy Pi Day!

My dear sweet pea sister, who herself is awaiting college admission results, told me yesterday that MIT has a tradition of making admissions results available on 3. 1 4 1 5 9...

Recognize the number? It's π (Pi), as in MIT reveals who's in on March 14th at 1:59pm, also known as Pi Day. By the way, it turns out Albert Einsten's birthday also falls on March 14th. Go figure! Leave it to the world re-known institute of technology to be that geeky!

Remember π? A mathematical constant whose value is the ratio of any circle's circumference to its diameter in Euclidean space?

I must admit, I don't recall the last time I used π... I do however recall the last time I ate pie! It was moving day, when I thanked my friends for helping me move (yet again) with pizza, beer and blueberry praline pie from none other than my fav Madeleine's Cherry Pie and Ice Cream... Mmm, yum!

And so in honour of π and the yummy variety... An awesome one minute apple pie video, also courtesy of my sweet pea sis.

Warning, it will make you want to bake pie:

What does a fleeting moment between two strangers look like?

Watch the following absolutely gorgeous black and white film by Arev Manoukian to find out. Recommended by my Uncle M, this spectacular short film won top honours at the LG Film Festival.

Certainly makes me think twice of simply smiling and looking away when catching a cute boy's eyes in the streetcar ;)

Random green is sexy tip: the energy-less date.

(For when cute boy giving me googlie eyes asks me for my number, of course!)

Show how sexy you are when you put less energy into your date – and get more out, if uknowhaddaimean.

1) Cook a meal without cooking: forget that ol’ stove and oven and, heck, even your unplugged microwave. Go light, go raw, go fresh salad! Get your bean taco on! Show sandwiches who is stylin’.

2) Candlelight dinner: It’s romantic, it’s sincere, it’s…been a long time since you had one last, hey?

3) Play a game: Yes, RockBand is super fun to play on a date – but what about that power and creativity that lies in charades? Or Apples-to-Apples? Or even just some good ol’ fashioned competitive WAR? You’ll be skipping those extra watts to power your projector and getting back to the basics: getting to know someone.

Happy Thursday! And thanks for stopping by :)

xo,

tee.
