Be your best self.

Why Don’t You…?

Why Don’t You…?
Carly Jacobs

Make naughty chocolate chip pancakes for a late-night after dinner snack? Have them with fragrant milky tea? Wearing slippers on the couch?

Start your morning with a vigourous exfoliation in the shower? Slather yourself with thick moisturiser? Wander around the house in your robe while your skin gets deliciously silky and smooth?

Start carrying a sun umbrella? Because it’s terribly chic?

Pump your favourite music up high in your car and have a sing along on the way to work? Or a mime-along on the train?

Bury your face in something fluffy? A pile of freshly laundered towels? Your lover’s silky hair? The fur of a cat?

Freeze cranberry juice in your ice cube trays? Add them to your gin and tonic? With a slice of lemon?

Make your food look beautiful? Add a sprig of parsley for decoration? A drizzle of sauce?

Blow off your afternoon plans for today and go shopping? Meet a friend for a glass of wine? Buy a magazine and read the whole thing? Not tomorrow, today?

Kiss someone? Your lover? A friend? Your dog?

Make hoop earrings your thing? Really piss off Regina George? (start at 0.59)

    These always remind me to try and take a break where I can.

      This comment my day! Love it! Gives me tingles thinking that my writing is stuck on someone’s wall. 🙂
