No, I'm not collecting corks for any particular reason - this collection of corks is more of a commentary about how much wine I drink. :)

Sorry for the late post, but I didn't get home until late from having drinks with friends last night @ one of our local brew pubs. It was a blustery evening to say the least, so it was nice to be nice and warm inside. This is also not the most inspired image I have ever taken...

I've been trying to cut back on my coffee intake - not that I really drink a lot of coffee to begin with. Instead having a morning coffee, I'm substituting it with a fruit smoothie. I used to make a smoothie every morning religiously but when I started university for some reason coffee was more attractive. I think I will still have coffee on the weekends periodically.

I can't say that I exactly like this image....it has a certain "something" I can't put my finger on though.

Uh huh. So finally I have taken a photo using this gorgeous mask that the lovely MMaeb sent me last Christmas as a gift! I love it and regret not using it as a prop before this occasion! Thank you M!! xx

Note: There are those that are sceptical that I will be able to successfully complete this challenge. Let it be known that I have done it once and I can certainly do it again. Just wait and see. :)

Ok...So I'm not doing so well with taking a self portrait everyday - it's only my second for COL! So since this is a challenge on an individual level, I am going to challenge myself to take a photo a day - it does not have to necessarily be a portrait - although that would be what I would prefer.

About this photo: I was sitting at my kitchen island sipping on my morning coffee when I saw Miss Diva staring out the window. Is she contemplating something? Perhaps just my ultimate demise, but I thought it would be a cool picture regardless.
