100 Happy Days Challenge - Day 69

Downloaded the new and improved 2015 Eating Well with Canada's Food Guide.

Compared with the hardcopy of the older version I have, the new one

• emphasizes importance of vegetables and fruits over grain products
• has more detailed info on portion sizes and servings for various age groups and both genders
• provides nutritious foods advice to various age groups
• has more info on how to choose proper oils, fats and beverages
• has more detailed info on serving size including serving size of culture-specific foods
• gives advice on how much and how often we should exercise

So the new Food Guide is not only about food, it's also a healthy lifestyle guide.

100 Happy Days Challenge - Day 68

Redeemed one Shoppers Drug Mart's new personalized coupon.  Shoppers has a new coupon system to have us load our coupons to our Shoppers Optimum cards instead of printing the coupons out.

I was very skeptical at first.  Especially

1. it is not user-friendly to load the coupons
2. their system was downed for the whole weekend last week - nobody could log in

So, when I paid for my purchase, I asked the cashier if I need to do anything special to redeem my coupon.  She looked at the monitor and told me the coupon is redeemed.  Sweet!

Yes, go paperless!

Oh, we can still print out the coupons if we choose not to load the coupons to our Optimum cards.

It's getting hotter now.  Hopefully I can find some green plums and make umeboshi (Japanese salty pickled plums).  One of my Japanese friends taught me how to make umeboshi last year.  Now, I would like to try making some.

One of my friends emailed me this "7 Self-Destructive Excuses All Procrastinators Make".  Well, my friend, I know you are waiting for me to put the scanned recipes for Our Recipe Collection.  Of course I will complete my project.  I'm a procrastinator but I'm not a quitter, my friend.

100 Happy Days Challenge - Day 66

Since last Saturday, I have been wearing my favourite earrings.  Today is the third pair.

My sis gave me this pair of tulip earrings years ago.  Every spring I used to wear them.  For years, they were stored somewhere I didn't even remember.

I guess moving to a new place from time to time is a good way to keep things tidy and in order.  It is also a good way to stop things collecting dust inside closet and not being used.

100 Happy Days Challenge - Day 65 (May 24)

Backdating the Happy Days Challenge I missed on Sunday (May 24).  Today, I wore my another pair of favourite exotic earrings which was also only $0.99 + tax.

Moving is a lot of work but I have chance to sort my stuff, donate some stuff and recover some of my treasures.  One more favourite pair of earrings to wear on Monday.
