💌 how i romanticize my reality (every single day)


hola Reader!


i used to think romanticizing life meant big, over-the-top gestures - like running off to Paris, buying fancy gifts, or waiting for someone else to make me / life feel special

but honestly? romance is in the tiny moments.

it’s in the way I show up for myself every day, not just on Valentine’s Day

so, here’s how i’ll be spending February 14th … the same way i romanticize my reality every other day too:

💫 a big magical stretch first thing in the morning (because starting my day with expansion just feels GOOD)
💫 taking a moment to notice how safe and comfy i feel in bed - so I can come back to that feeling throughout the day if life starts to feel swirly (because sometimes i forget that it was only recently i felt cool, calm and collected!)
💫 telling myself "I love you" in the mirror (yes, actually out loud)
💫 journaling in my prettiest journal with my special pen - as if i were a famous writer who values her craft
💫 watching the sunrise and noticing the colours like i’m watching a painting come to life
💫 breathing in deeply, imagining good news coming my way
💫 feeling the sunshine on my face and soaking up its warm energy
💫 savoring my first sip of coffee like i’m in a café in Paris ☕ (and of course, drinking it from a cute cup)
💫 dancing to one feel-good song, every single day before leaving the house
💫 taking a (minimum) 5-minute brain break with NO screens, just BE-ing
💫 appreciating my water as if i’ve just walked out of the desert - because hydration is a sexy ✨luxury✨
💫 getting dressed like i’m going somewhere, even if i’m not
💫 writing daily gratitudes & adding to my ‘blessings book’ every night
💫 drinking water out of a wine glass, just for the fancy effect 🍷

… and wow, i didn’t even realize how many ways i already romanticize my life daily until i started writing this email!

it’s wild how easy it is to bring more bliss & beauty into your world when you simply start noticing it's already there


and that’s exactly what we’re doing inside the Romanticize Your Reality: 5-Day Vibe "challenge"

just 5 minutes a day to soak up the magic that’s already around you

aka intentionally remembering to notice the little luxuries, the magic in the mundane, and how romantic life already is when we choose to see it that way!


we start Friday, Feb 14 aka LOVE YOUR LIFE day!

no pressure, just an open invitation to notice the little luxuries and treat yourself like the love of your own life even after Feb 14 has come and gone 💕

with love,

ps. if you skipped right to the bottom:

  1. i plan to spend Feb 14 romanticizing my life as i do every day, maybe with some extra pink or red details - haven't decided my colour theme yet!
  2. your life is allowed to feel luxurious and magical and romantic too!
  3. if you wanna soak up the vibes of daily reminders to NOTICE the magic and romanticize your life too, you're invited to join me inside the Romanticize Your Reality 5 days of vibes aka a popup Telegram channel, daily reminders, a BINGO board and a whole lotta LOVE YOUR LIFE vibes from yours truly!
