15 things you should do more often!

15 things you should do more often!

15) Wear high heels
You only live once...so pull out those high heels that you've been saving for a "special occasion" and wear them! That's one of the pleasure's of being a girl...you get to wear really cute and fun shoes. I didn't say they would be comfortable; but who cares? Wear those high heels!

14) act like a princess
It's okay to wear a tiara (or is that just me?) and want to feel like a princess! Dress up in pink and just feel pretty. It's also okay to want to be a kid again!

13) Take picnics

I know that it's still cold out and we're all waiting for warm weather so we can head outdoors; but when that time comes- take a picnic with you! Pack a lunch and a bottle of wine and head out with your blanket for a nice picnic. You'll not only get some sun, but you'll feel relaxed and get to be ouside. Plus you get to eat, even better =)

12) Play in the rain

we're always complaining when it rains, and trying to run for shelter as quickly as possible. But why not embrace it every once and a while. Splash around like a kid.

11) Get some culture
go somewhere. or if that's not in your budget, go to a museum or try something new around town. I bet there are alot of things you wish you'd tried in your own city; but just haven't made the time to go. Take pictures when you go, make it feel like a real trip!

10) Send handwritten letters
It's way more sincere than an email or a text, or even a phone call sometimes I think! It will brighten someone's day to get something in the mail other than a bill. You might even get one in return.

9) have girl time

make dinner, meet for coffee, or drinks after work, go on a trip, get mani's/pedis, go shopping, go running- anything with your girlfriends! I know that "girl-time" can be harder to come by as we get older; but so are good girl friends. So grab the ones you love and make some time together!
8) Sing loudly

try new music, you might like it. try karaoke (i highly recommend it)

you don't have to be good. believeeee me. Just sing! At the top of your lungs.

7) Play dress up

go to mall or in the back of your closet and play dress-up. Try on things you'd never wear or can't afford and just have fun! Mix and match colors and prints and just try on the newest trends. Ones you might never buy, but you just want to feel like a runway model for the time being.

6) call an old friend

Call someone you haven't talked to in awhile and tell them you miss them! Catch up on what they'e been up to and just say hello. It can be so refreshing to talk to someone you've know for a long time but maybe just haven't kept in touch with. It will make their day!

5) volunteer

Even if it's for an afternoon. You'll feel so good about yourself and you will have hopefully made a difference in someone else's life too. I guarantee it will put a smile on your face for the entire day...and someone elses.

4) dance

dance like no one's watching. let it out and just dance! turn up the music as loud as you can. doesn't even matter if it is Miley Cirus...."and a Jay Z song was on...and a Jay Z song was on"

3) Make a mess

I need to take this advice b/c I am way to organized and neat. Sometimes I just wish I could leave my bed not made or my clothes on the floor. It feels good to not have everything in "it's place".

It's okay to be a little messy

2) Play games
buy a new game whenever you go to Target. You can put down one hair product and make the sacrifice. It will be well worth it. You'll feel like a kid again.

1) LAUGH
laughing truly is contagious. is it not? Laugh more often and you'll notice that you're happier and so are the people around you. Even if you choose not to laugh out loud, then choose to laugh to yourself. That can be the best kind of humor- the kind that only you find funny!! so just LAUGH
XOXO
