I have always had a passion for living in the moment. I soak in every minute of excitement and embrace living in a way that will bring joy not only to myself but also those around me. I believe that life is meant to be enjoyed and adding a touch of glam to your everyday life just makes life that much more exciting!
On those days where I need to lift my spirits or I just need to feel a little girly or special, I like to do some of these 10 things to add a touch of glam to my everyday life!
1. Purchase a Few Adorable Mugs
This might seem very random, but when I reach into the cabinet in the morning to grab a mug for my morning coffee, I feel a slight smile come across my face as I make the decision of which mug I want to use today. Having a cute mug starts my day with a small sense of joy and I feel just a little extra glamorous as I sit and sip my morning coffee.
2. Put on a Bright Lipstick
On the days where I have a lot of running around to do, I often don’t feel like wearing makeup. But I noticed that when I take a little extra time to doll myself and add a touch of boldness to my makeup, I not only look better, but I also feel more alive and excited about my day. Sometimes just putting in a little extra effort will lift your mood and day!
3. Take a Bath
Baths can often feel like a lot of effort to make happen. You gotta make sure the tub is clean, pull out the bath salts, light candles, etc. But once you are in there, you can feel all the daily stresses and worries melt away. One of my favorites ways to spoil myself is to take a trip to LUSH and pick out a beautifully colored bath bomb to create the perfect atmosphere for my time of relaxation.
4. Invest in a Silk Robe
Now don’t get me wrong, I am all about those pajama pants and sweat shirt nights. But there is just something so luxurious about walking around the house is a elegant silk robe. Bare faced and hair in a bun, you still feel a sense of luxe when you are wearing something pretty.
5.Collect New Candles
Lighting a candle with an intoxicating smell while winding down after a day at work is the perfect way to give your atmosphere a more glamorous feel. Adding a few candles throughout your home gives a more welcoming and comforting feel. You will find yourmore relaxed and at ease.
6. Incorporate Fresh Flowers
Make picking up fresh flowers a part of your weekly routine. Add them to a vase and display them on your dining room table, vanity, coffee table, or even kitchen counter. Not only will having flowers around make your space look and feel more beautiful, but it will also make you happier and feel more feminine.
7. Accessorize
A glamorous lady is always put together head to toe. When you are putting in that little extra effort for a night out, don’t forget to accessorize the crap out of your outfit! Earrings, watch, bag, shoes, sunglasses, manicure, etc. Just commit to the whole nine yards! Obviously it is a bit difficult to keep that up daily. But when you want to feel a bit luxe, do not forget the details.
8. Wear Heels More Often
We are all guilty of neglecting our heel collection. They just sit there looking all pretty just dying to have a night out! Put on those pumps ladies! Don’t let them collect dust in your closet. Wearing heels makes you feel feminine and sexy. So pull them out from more occasions than just date night.
9. Pop that Bubbly!
When was the last time you had a glass of champagne? I think my last glass was the first night my husband and I moved into our apartment. Having a glass of champagne always feels so special and luxurious. Incorporate more excuses to celebrate! And if you are under age settle for sparking wine!
10. Invest in a Beautiful Bag
Lugging around a nice bag instantly makes you feel fabulous. Even if you can’t afford a designer purse pick up a bag that makes you feel like a million bucks when you walk down the street. Bagnic is a great website to find designer dupes at an amazing price!
