I’d like to share, with you, my personal motto to life.  Wherever I go and whatever I do, I like to keep one phrase in the back of my head.  LIVE SEXY.  Look sexy, dress sexy, act sexy, do everything sexy.  What I want to impart with a of the articles that I write are things that I think will help you to LIVE SEXY.  Now, we’ve done some talking about how to make you look sexy, but you need to surround yourself in sexy things.  So, I’ve decided that I need to give you guys some pointers on making your rooms sexy. Read on, let’s sexify your room.

As many of you are probably aware, time management is an important part of being a successful student and an efficient real person.  That’s effing boring, but there’s relief for you in the next few paragraphs.  There is almost nothing as important to time management than the clocks that tell us what time it actually is and luckily for us, we can spruce up our rooms with some very attractive timepieces.

Wooden Clock

This is one helluva clock.  When it’s off, it look like a plain sleek block of wood and when it’s on, numbers from a digital clock shine through the surface.  I have absolutely no idea how this works, but I have one and I love it.  Not only does it look good, but people ask about it all the time.  It’s just too bad I don’t need a clock on my coffee table.

If you need to get your hands on one, run a google search for “wooden clock” or go to firebox.com and order one.  Fire box is selling them for $199.  Pricey for a clock, but this isn’t an ordinary clock.  The wooden clock also sports an alarm.

Blue Clock Powered by Water…So Green!

This clock is admittedly not-so-attractive but I wouldn’t go as far to say it’s ugly.  Hear me out.  There’s a small tank on the back that you fill with water, instead of batteries.  Yes, you heard me, the clock is powered by water.  You know what’s even better?  You can pour some beer into the clock instead of the water, just make sure you take it’s keys before you give it any bud light.  As you can see in the picture above, you can even use the clock ans a vase.  Come on, it’s sort of good for the environment and its kind of cute.  Best of all, it’s only $12.99 at thinkgeek.com.

Make an Exploded Wall Clock

I just moved into a new apartment and decided that the walls of my living room needed some sexy and we needed a clock. So why not combine the two and make a sexy wall clock?  That’s exactly what I did.  I really like those exploded wall clocks that use the wall as the face of the clock and have the numbers disconnected from the clock hands but what was I going to do about the numbers?  This is where a wall clock project becomes a lot of fun.  Use your creativity and come up with a theme.  For my clock, I wanted all of my friend and the people that I love to have a part of it so I called them all and asked them to choose a number and make it.  I told them to use whatever materials they wanted and asked that they just not make it too big.  I would post a picture, but my camera is on the fritz.  You get the idea though.  So how do you make a wall clock like this?  Jason’s here to help:

1. Buy the cheapest clock you can find.  Now try not to spend too much money (you’ll be taking the whole thing apart) but try and get a big clock.  Bigger hands will make it easier to read on the wall
2. Take the whole thing apart, saving the mechanism behind the face that spins the hands.  Save the hands too.
3. If you had to take the hands off of the clock to take it apart, put them back on.  If you’re mechanically inclined, you can even make your own hands and stick them on the clock.
4. Now stick it all to the wall.

So easy, so fun.  I don’t know why you wouldn’t do this.

Use Your Computer or Stereo

These won’t add any visual sexy to your room, but they can add sexy to your life.  I’ve found that waking up gradually is the best way for me.  For some of you, a standard alarm will do, but I have a suggestion for a much gentler way to wake up.  Download an audio editing program, like the free audacity for windows, and choose a series of songs that get faster and louder as you go.  For me, my list is as follows:

1. Damien Rice - The Professor & La Fille Danse
2. Moby - Porcelain
3. The Verve - Bittersweet Symphony
4. The Vines - Get Free

Now in that audio editing program, turn the volume of the first song way down and save it that way.  Gradually make the next song louder and the next louder still until the last song is at full volume.  The idea is that when your alarm goes off, you may still be asleep, but you’ll be slightly aware of the music.  As it gets louder, and louder you’ll wake up a little bit at a time.  So burn your new playlist to a cd and stick it in you alarm equipped stereo or use a computer alarm program.  For your computer, a lot of the programs will have features that will open a specified file.  Go ahead and point the alarm to the playlist you’ve made and specify a time.  Make sure you know exactly how long the playlist will take to get to the last song so that you ca set the alarm accordingly.

This just may help you wake up better, making your morning’s sexier.  And if you wake up on a good note, you’re likely to have a good day, making you happy sexy.  And, If you’re overall more responsible, there’s almost nothing sexier.

Go get yourself some clocks.  I’d love to hear about any clocks that you guys have made or purchased.  And please, for me, LIVE SEXY!
