#1. make a fun collage
ever since i was young i always adored crafting and making pretty layouts. my sisters & i would specifically make notebook collages together with cut outs from a bunch of different magazines. making collages really causes you to be mindful, reduce stress, and totally draw your focus to one thing. something that i personally do is cut out inspiring words from magazines or find cute quotes on pinterest to add to my collage(s). down below are a few photos of a recent crafty collage day from this week! as you can tell, i cut out various photos and put it on a white sheet of paper. once your collage is done you can hang it up, put it inside your journal/ planner, etc.
#2. light a candle
one of the best ways to make your day happier is simply by lighting a candle. i don't know why but there is something so therapeutic about relaxing and having a sweet candle aroma fill up your room.
because i am shopper & LOVE candles, i decided to share with you my personal fav candle (Capri Blue Volcano Candle) which you can find by clicking HERE or click the image below!!
this capri blue candle is literally everything. i totally recommend this candle because of the good quality, and how AMAZING it smells!!

#3. get your nails done
recently this month i was having such a bad day. a lot of personal things were happening in my life and i wasn't feeling it at all. i asked myself, "what can i do to get me out of this funk" and sure enough, the thought of getting my nails done popped into my head! obviously i went to get my nails done that day, but after that i just felt 10x better. i have noticed in life that if you truly give back to yourself that your good days, bad days, and any days will just be better overall.
#4. sleep in
this one is pretty self explanitory but i truly encourage you to try this! sometimes we all work ourselves too hard in life and we just need to sleep in. always make sure to give love and care back to yourself.
#5. drink water
i probably sound so insane for adding this to the list, but i seriously LOVE staying hydrated and refreshed with a water bottle. when you aren't feeling your best just drink a lot of water and you'll feel so much better. (i promise and swear by this!!) CLICK HERE for my fav swell water bottle (or click the image below!)
whenever i am on the go i love to bring this Swell Marble Water Bottle with me. one of my most favorite things about it is how it keeps your drinks cold for 24 hours AND hot for 12! perfect for hot summers and cold winters.

#6. classical/ jazzy music
personally i like all types of music, but i love me some frank sinatra, dean martin, and all the fun jazzy songs/ artists! i put together a quick little playlist that you can click right HERE to see. whenever i'm getting ready or in the car, it's beautiful to listen to crisp, romantic music.
