his is my favourite regular segment on Smaggle. I write little lists of lovely things to do to brighten your week. It’s a tribute to the late great Diana Vreeland who had a column in Harper’s Bazaar called ‘Why don’t you…?’ where she’d write a decadent and beautiful list of life suggestions for her readers. If you’re feeling a little bit glum here are 9 things that will totally cheer you up…
Why don’t you?
1. Watch snippets of your favourite comedians on YouTube while you have your morning coffee? Louis CK? Jerry Seinfeld?
2. Bake a vanilla sponge cake with vanilla frosting? Have a slice every afternoon?
3. Store your toothbrushes and toothpaste in a fancy water glass?
4. Wear a headband?
5. Use the line ‘Kiss me if I’m wrong, but dinosaurs still exist right?‘ on the next cute boy you meet?
6. Colour in a picture with crayons?
7. Pour a little Bailey’s into a peppermint hot chocolate for a delicious and cozy night cap?
8. Do a handstand?
9. Experiment with tassels? Hanging around your waist from a rope belt? Threaded into your hair? Dangling from your handbag?
10. Listen to your favourite love song and pretend it was written for you?
