Lately I've found that to keep myself organized, and on track I need to indulge in everyday luxuries (and not-so-everyday luxuries, of course). My room is bland, and uninspiring, thus I am left feeling uninspired. So I decided that my room needs to be redone. I've been wanting to do this for a long time, and finally I went out to buy a can of paint. Once the transformation's over you shall be expecting several photos..
The redecoration of my bedroom is merely one of the luxuries I have taken part in this week, so here's a list of them, and several more you should should take part in to re-inspire yourself.
♥ Stroll down to the nearest bakery and purchase a baguette. While you walk back to your quaint abode tear of a piece of crunchy bread and spoil yourself. It will be almost like you're in Paris, mademoiselle.
♥ Splurge on that Chanel handbag you've always wanted. You'll use it forever simply because it's timeless. It will be worth the, oh, say five thousand dollars.
♥ Sleep an hour later than you usually do. You'll wake up feeling completely rejuvenated and much more energized than usual. It is amazing what 60 more minutes of sleep can do for your body.
♥ Take the day off and do nothing but read a good book, lounge around, and watch Gossip Girl, or The City marathons. And while you're at it you might as well indulge in a double chocolate hot cocoa.
♥ Buy yourself some roses (in my opinion white or red are best) and rose scented bubble bath. Enjoy the roses for a few days, and when the petals dry up use them in your bubble bath. Fill up your bathtub with nice hot water, pour in lots of bubble bath, sprinkle your rose petals on top and take in the aroma of the rosy waters.
♥ Dress up. Try on all the clothes in your closet while listening to your favorite upbeat tune and select your outfit for the next day. It's totally worth it, because the next morning when you're feeling tired and uninspired you will stop yourself from making any outfit catastrophes. Plus, it's fun.
♥ Call up your best girl friends and invite them out to brunch at the place you've always wanted to eat at. You can all chat over specialty coffees, buttery croissants, and fresh fruit. Very sophisticated indeed.
♥ If you're in need of inspiration rent a room at a boutique hotel in the city nearest to you (exp. NYC, Boston, Los Angeles, Miami etc.) Indulge in spa services, shopping excursions, and plenty of room service. I always find it much more enjoyable to eat dessert in bed ;) If you're in need of relaxation, de-stress yourself by renting a cottage on the ocean. You'll return home completely revived.
♥ Bite into some cute baked goods! Like the ones seen in my header.
♥ And of course, follow in my footsteps and re-do your room. It's a wonder what a gallon of paint can do. You'll feel as though you have a blank canvas to work off of. So next time you happen to find yourself in a furniture shop you can splurge on new bedroom accessories.
Darlings, next time you're stressing over things that in the big scheme of things don't really matter, remember this: Indulge in everyday, or not-so-everyday luxuries, to re-inspire, rejuvenate, and revive yourself. Trust me, it's worth it.
