“I use the ’good’ honey or ’good’ tea now instead of saving it ’for some special moment.‘”

"For example, if I'm making pasta for dinner, I'll put on an Italian countryside playlist. Or, if it's French food like sheet-pan ratatouille, I'll put on, like, Paris coffeehouse music. It just sets the vibe, and it's a pretty fun way to discover new artists and different genres." 

"The videos always make me feel so much more relaxed, and they satisfy my itch for mid-workday escapism. I also highly recommend fireplace videos, "rain on window" videos, etc. YouTube literally has any vibe you could want!" 

"It makes refilling my water glass throughout the day feel so much more luxurious, and it incentivizes me to stay hydrated. Using a cute cup and a glass straw helps, too!" 

"Then I bring a picnic blanket to the park and sit and read all day." 

"It makes me feel like I'm in a montage scene instead of just doing some monotonous task." 

"I'll buy myself flowers, I'll get all dolled up, and I'll have a reservation for one at a restaurant and order whatever I want." 

"1 Second Everyday is basically a video diary where you insert clips from your phone, the app helps you cut it down to a one-second snippet, and then mashes them all together to create a personal film of your life. Whenever I'm feeling down on myself, I enjoy going back and watching my last few weeks as an on-demand dose of gratitude." 

"I use an HP Sprocket to print out my favorite camera roll photos quickly and easily." 

"I infuse the milk with vanilla syrup, pour it into a cute glass can (you know, the trendy ones that are everywhere lately), and sip on it out of a straw. You better believe I'm snapping a pic of it for my IG story." 

"I wear blue daisy platform shoes, a purple glittered bag, a black and white checkered dress, and red heart sunglasses. It makes grocery runs fun instead of a total drag!" 

"It makes me feel pretty, and the best part is that once it fades, I can try a new design." 

"They set a nice calming mood for the day." 

"Best paired with a steaming cup of lavender chamomile tea and soft music." 

"It's honestly not weird to see me and my easel for a few hours on the weekends." 

"I put milk in a little matching jug, and I have a sugar dish. My matching teapot is used if I plan on having more than two cups. It makes the simple moment really special." 

"People, animals, funny signs, food...whatever! It adds magic to the everyday." 

"Doing so makes me feel cared for, and being put together also helps me feel more productive. I feel less guilty staying in my pajamas all day on weekends and days off, and I actually get more done than when I'm in a big T-shirt and sloppy sweats." 

"I’ve been doing it for years which means I get to see what's made me happy on that same day over the past few years." 

"The smell instantly makes my room feel like a little cozy cabin tucked away in the woods!" 

"There's nothing like the feeling of getting a new set. It makes me feel hot and put together, and I love scrolling through Pinterest and figuring out what design I want to do next." 

"It’s so relaxing and peaceful and a nice way to end the week. I prefer going by myself so I can let my thoughts wander." 

"I'll take the day off work, get a coffee, go thrifting, eat at my favorite restaurants. ... I do whatever I want to do for as long as I'd like to do it since I'm alone with no one to rush me."  

"Most of the time, I can see it light up their face. It makes me smile, and I hope that if they have a rough spot during the day, they think of a stranger who acknowledged them and gave them a compliment and it helps them through it." 

"Now, I don’t want her going to bed sad, so I obviously have to tell her something nice I did or saw. This made me realize than even when my day has been crappy, there was always at least one good thing about it."
