The Journal of Mundane Behaviour is a scholarly sociology journal devoted to everyday behaviour and experiences, devoted to the study of the “unmarked” – those aspects of our everyday lives that typically go unnoticed by us, both as academics and as everyday individuals”, i.e. the overlooked trivia of, say, everyday conversation, workplace behaviour, or family life and how it can illuminate how power and conformity shape social relationships. So why do most of us have the over-whelming urge to ‘ditch’ our so-called boring lives for someone else’s? Hundred’s of glossy men and women’s magazines espouse the thrilling lifestyle of Hollywood stars, famous athletes and celebrities. Well, now you too can step outside your world and taste the glamour for yourself – indulge in Lifestyle Experience Days – you’ll never be the same again!
Has your girlfriend ever moaned about how she wishes she could just Experience another Lifestyle and be like Paris Hilton for a day? Now you can make her feel like a modern-day princess and, with a Star Style Transformation, a whole day of luxurious pampering and style treats awaits her. Not to be outdone, has she ever fancied herself as Paris’s sister Nikki? Indulge the shopaholic in her and send her on a ‘How to Design Your Own Handbag’ course. It’s a potential money-spinner in the making – and who knows? You too could be jet-setting at her side!
Experience another Lifestyle as Star-crossed Lovers. You can choose between Lunching in Paris for Two (the most romantic city in the world!) or enjoying a two course meal at a London restaurant followed by a night at a theatre close by with a West End Theatre & Dinner for Two – Gift Pack. The ultimate picture perfect moment – the stuff that dreams and movies are made of – sauntering arm in arm down the Avenue des Champs-Élysées, or home after a West End show. Perfect!
And never underestimate the power of a picture – they do say it can tell a thousand words! Why not capture the moment forever and purchase a Family or Friends Photographic Portrait Gift Pack? It’s a present that will last a lifetime and bring joy to everyone who sees it. For the fun-loving family, unique Gifts for someone with a great sense of humour, give a Personal Caricature in Black and White. It’ll make you all laugh, over and over again, and there’s a good chance they’ve never had that done to them before!
Experience another Lifestyle that’s Out of the Ordinary, perhaps your loved one would enjoy stepping back through time and taking a stream train journey through the picturesque countryside? Indulge the love for architecture and innovations of a bygone era – choose the Cathedrals Express Steam Train Experience, and feel the years slip back as you both imagine yourselves in a previous age. Equally grand would be to feel the sun in your face and the wind blowing in your hair as you cruise in a classic car and then enjoy a gourmet lunch for two. The Gourmet Classic Car Day for Two will provide all the thrills of a Robert Redford movie!
On the yummy scale, a Chocolate Making Workshop is an ideal gift and must surely score a perfect ten for one not able to resist sheer indulgence? Or visualise in your mind’s eye, if you will, the Ultimate Lifestyle Experience of meandering slowly through a picture-perfect vineyard, as you tour and savour the vintner’s craft. The Wine Tasting at a Vineyard for Two Gift Pack is Perfect for wine lovers. And if you need to spice things up, and if you both enjoy getting a little steamy in the kitchen, perhaps the Indian Cookery course is for you? Learn to whip a culinary frenzy in your own kitchen! For the savvy gamester, defy the odds and learn to play poker like a pro! The Poker Experience Day is the UK’s premier poker tour, where real money never changes hands! A fact for which your partner will be exceedingly grateful!
Want to sing like a Rock Star? Drive like a Formula One Racer? Surf like a Pro? Lifestyle Experience Day Gifts are designed to make you feel like you are Melissa Etheridge, a member of the Eagles, Michael Schumacher, or Grant Baker for a day. Or two. At Least. But the memories will last a lifetime. Whether you’re into the romance of hot air ballooning, the exhilaration of a bungee jump or carelessly letting your cares slip away in a floatation therapy session, there is absolutely no excuse NOT to step into someone else’s shoes of lifestyle. Try it on for size. You might like it so much, it’ll stick!

Choose a Lifestyle That Makes you Happy
Dennis Harting asked:
It is always interesting to watch how society attempts to make people conform. Social conditioning is one of the most powerful motivators we encounter. The fact that most of it occurs without our knowledge is what makes it so effective. People will fight to defend their beliefs without even being aware of where those ideas came from. Unfortunately, the majority of us are nothing more than “products of our environment”. We rarely become something that we consciously chose. Rather, those who we spent the most time with influenced us into believing what we do.
When it comes to relationships and sex, society is clear on what it’s belief is. Heterosexual marriage is the accepted model. This is the best way to maintain order while ensuring the reproduction of the “village”. People who enter this state end up raising a family which carries the population forward. Also, married couples provide an overall stability to the community. They tend to settle down in an area while establishing some roots. The focus often shifts away from individual fulfillment to that of the family. It is a wonderful concept and appropriate in most situations.
However, there are a large number of people who are not designed for this lifestyle. Yet society fails to deliver the message that it is alright for one to find a lifestyle that is suitable to him or her. Many believe that if someone is not of this mold, then there must be something wrong. Yet, there are many different lifestyles for people to choose from. Of course, there is the choice of staying single. For a lot of people, this is the ideal way to live life. Some people are ********** or bisexual. Their preference strays a bit from the norm. Then there are those who prefer the “swinging” lifestyle. Monogamy is not something that works for them. These are just a few of the choices people can make when deciding what they want in life.
Part of living a rich life is making the choices that make you happy. Too many people allow others to make the decisions for them and wonder why they are not fulfilled. You are the only one who has to live your life. It is imperative that you select those things that coincide with your true nature.
Attempting to live a lifestyle that is not true to us will result in failure. We have heard of the man who leaves his wife for another man. He comes “out of the closet”. Afterwards, people wonder why he would do such a thing. The answer is that he simply was trying to live a lifestyle that did not fit him. Certainly he may not have known his sexual preference when he got married. Nevertheless, the pressures of our culture deter the investigation into what fits this individual. He was trained from a young age that he should get married and raise a family. That is the conditioning of society.
Naturally, this is not to imply that there is anything wrong with marriage or family. The point is that basically they are not for everyone. However, the judgments of others is another powerful weapon. People who fail to obey the cultural norm are belittled. For example, what is the opinion of people who engage in group ***. The majority of society looks down upon those people. They call them all kinds of names. Individuals who claim to be “open-minded” judge the daylights out of these people. Since they do not fit into the proper model, weapons are brought out in an attempt to make them conform. Naturally, violence is outlawed in the era so other tactics are utilized. The biggest is to let people know they “do not fit in”. This carries considerable pressure. We all want to be a part of something. Our humanness dictates this. Man (in the species sense) is a social animal. We are designed to interact with other people.
When seeking personal happiness, it is important that we choose a sexual/romantic situation that accommodates us. We need to give ourselves the freedom to make the proper choice. If being married and living in a monogamous relationship works for you, follow that path. However, if something else is more to your nature, it is best to follow that. A word of caution: it is often difficult to be true to your decision. There will be a number of people who will attempt to influence you. This will be done with the claim that they want you to be happy. Of course, they operate under the presumption that they know what is best for you. You are the only one who can make this decision.
Here’s is a common example. I once worked with a guy who knew that he was cut out for the swinger lifestyle. Throughout his dating career, he was in numerous long-term, monogamous relationships. He told me that he was not happy in those situations even though the women were wonderful. They were ideal candidates for married life. Unfortunately for them, he was not. After some research, he realized that another lifestyle fit him better. He consciously chose to pursue it. Until he met that “special” someone. She was ideal in all manners except that she was not interested in swinging. As you can guess, issues arose. We talked on a number of different occasions about this. In the end, he had to let her go. Neither of them would enjoy happiness engaging in the other’s lifestyle. Ultimately he did find someone who was pursuing the same interests as him. Today, they are very happy together.
In summary, be mindful of the choices you make with your life. Understand there was a lot of conditioning that influenced you. Society has a way of training us to behave in certain ways. Resist the temptation to go against your core. If another path sits better with you, follow it. Your happiness rests upon the decisions that you make. Even though those closest to you will have their opinions and judgments, they do not live your life. It is your responsibility to make live a rich and full life.
