For me, adding simple touches to every day life has always been something to look forward to. It brings a small spark of joy to moments less noteworthy. And in days of hustle and bustle allows me to stop for just a moment and enjoy.
While I am no stranger to being too busy to think of anything else, the things I want to highlight today are hopefully simple enough to not feel like a burden, but instead a lovely addition.
Here are some ways to elevate your days:
- Lighting a candle first thing in the morning
- Using disposable decorative napkins at meal time
- Drinking your coffee from a vintage mug
- Have your snacks on a wooden cutting board
- Enjoy dinner outside
- Make fresh lemonade (all it takes is water, sugar and lemons)
- Treat yourself to a home decor or fashion magazine
- Take a bath
- Use a wine glass for your water
- Add a decorative tray under your remotes in the living room
- Turn off your overhead light and use your lamps
- Play Jazz music while you work
- Take a short walk around your street
- Add water to a craft and drink from a glass cup
- Use a table top fire pit while you are outside
- Have a sweet treat at night off an appetizer plate
There are so many simple things to add into our daily routines. I hope one of these can bring an extra smile to your face!
