Ever notice how spending 10 minutes extra in a bubble seems to be the equivalent of a mini holiday?
I miss the days of watching movies, doing absolutely nothing, walking on the beach and or walking aimlessly in a mall.
I wonder if I need to focus my energy on saving up for that week long break away or if I need to focus on the simple mini holidays.
Maybe it's time to do both. Here goes the cucumber slices on my eyes and kicking up my feet in anticipation for the long break away.

How hard is it to follow instructions?
Following instructions can be very hard.
No matter how clearly defined the instruction, there should always be room for questions and answers.
During the industrial age, I suppose that, the result was determined by practicing one solution. The methodology of solving a problem was determined by the manager and the whole process was micro managed.
Today people are encouraged to do problem solving on their own as long as they obtain the desired results.
Maybe focus, in certain cases, need to be placed on the results required and the methodology left to the person who is solving the problem.

How important is being branded?
I am fascinated with how some people are all about brands. Any product, service etc is only recognised when it has a brand name attached. You either have this type of clothing, that type of shoe, do your hair at that salon and your lip gloss drips with brand imprints all over the packaging.
In most cases you will have to break the poor piggy bank to make sure you get your hands on that branded item.
Brand name aside, does the product serve a real purpose i.e. adds to your health, makes you look and / or feel better and does not make you break into the bank?
Anyone is entitled to good living but half the time people thrive on the peception that the brand is good quality. Most labels that I have seen do not justify the pricing. After all is said and done I have seen the same style item in both low end and high end stores say "made in China."
If an item or service does not serve my needs those shouldn't brand houses need to pay me for even wearing them?
