Remote girlies this one is for you. Not being forced to go into the office is the 2020 blessing we didn’t see coming, but working from home day after day can get a little boring.
Instead of starting your day rolling over at 9 a.m., wake up early and head to a super cute coffee shop in your area.
Grab a seat by the window, a sweet treat, and some caffeine. Bring your headphones to drown out the noise and drift into your work. You might even be more productive outside your home! But more importantly, this is a cute activity to add to your week.
2. Sleep In Cute Clothes

Let’s give our sweatpants and Crocs a break. You may not have any events planned, but whether it’s grabbing coffee or your weekly visit to see the family, dress up. Not only will this make you feel so much better about yourself, but there’s something so therapeutic about getting dolled-up for a regular day. Also, when you do it for the fun of it, there’s no real pressure to get the look entirely right. So have fun and look fabulous!
Romanticizing your life is, at its core, about finding the joy in your life. Appreciating the little moments is a great way to soothe and celebrate yourself. It’s nice to pretend we’re in a movie sometimes, but there is meaning in our daily lives. Incorporating these activities into your day is a good way to remind yourself.
