\"KICKOL-LOGO.jpg\"<\/span>If you are obsessed with food,<\/strong> and just can’t stop thinking about your next meal, then go straight to your bathroom!
\nThe Bathroom is a natural No-Food Zone!<\/strong> Generally speaking, you won’t find a refrigerator in a bathroom, nor are you tempted to bring a platter full of burgers and fries into the shower or bath with you. (You don’t, do YOU???)<\/em>
\nYour bathroom, therefore, is the perfect place to escape to, find peace in and just plain relax! Here follow a few outside the donut box<\/em><\/strong> suggestions on how you can revamp your bathroom and either turn it into a spa, a meditation center, or an art gallery. In other words, you can turn your bathroom into the best ever No Food Zone!
\nYour Bathroom as Meditation Center.<\/strong>
\nLight Your Incense and say Ommmmmm!
\nTurn the top of your toilet into an altar. Light a candle or two, some incense, place a small vase of flowers on it, and while you’re soaking in your food-free tub, say Ommmmmmm.
\nYour Bathroom is an Art Gallery Extraordinare!<\/strong>
\nLet your funky side out!! Hang a picture or two; place a sculpture in the corner. If you’ve got wall space, cover it with your creations, your kids’ or your friends’. Put a ‘suggested donation’ box for those who visit your art gallery! And if you want to take it a step farther, file for museum status and charge admission!
\nWeight Loss is a Creative Act! <\/strong> Thing outside of the tub!
\nHere are a few more tips on how to jazz up your bathroom:<\/strong>
\n1. Paint it black.<\/strong> Use chalkboard paint on one or more walls; get some colored chalk and write notes, make pictures and change as often as you like. (FYI … we did this for my husband’s birthday party. The room was jam-packed with friends writing messages on the wall! We left it up for over a year!)
\n2. Add fringe to your towels.<\/strong>
\n3. Put up a small shelf to showcase your cheesy shot glass collection<\/strong> (from every airport across the country).
\n4. If you have natural light, add some greenery<\/strong>! Plants galore.
\n5. To minimize water damage to your art, be sure to use archival mats<\/strong> and seal your frames<\/strong> carefully. That should do it!
