In Level 1, you heard about my Nintendo thing.

But sometimes you can't be playing games all day.

No problem!

Here are 10 ways to 1UP your life!

1. Tell your hair dresser you want to look like an anime character. You want your hair to move even when you're holding still. She will be so excited you didn't say, "make it plain, please."

2. Great. You got your hair done. +10

You win health. Nibble something small and round. Magical berries?!

3. So tasty! So blue. Let's do our nails. Keep with the theme...blue!

4. Right, so you're all blued out. Time to go to the next level: work. Yech, right.

Wrong! Work is fun when you 1UP and work from anywhere. How about this?

5. While you're at it, drink some go juice.

Be sure it's out of a tiny something, or an oversized something. (Please, no normal somethings.)

6. Adventure time! Grab a friend and go!

7. Delight bonus. Drop to kid-level. Be puppy-prepared. +10 if you carry snacks for furry things!

8. All this will be more fun if you travel really really light. +10 for getting all your possessions into a lightweight pack!

9. Whoo! That was fun! Time for health. Have the buttery option. Anything not listed in a diet book as being off limits is ok! +10 if you try something new you've never had before!

10. All this travel, it's good to have a reminder where reality is. Everyone has their totem. What's yours?

Here's mine:

Ring the bell, return home.
