The best ideas for romanticizing life!
5 ideas for how to romanticize your life, no matter who you are or what season of life you are in…
Purchase fresh flowers. Not only is it fun to pick out or assemble a beautiful bouquet, but they add life and beauty to any space! PRO TIP: Don’t toss them out when they begin to fade! Instead, either lay them flat on the counter, or hang them to dry. Once fully dry, they will turn any shelf or wall into a wildly romantic display!
A personal soundtrack is an absolute MUST! What sort of music makes your feel nostalgic? Is there a certain song that every time you hear it, it takes you back to a specific moment that makes you feel warm and fuzzy? Begin gathering songs with a similar vibe and put them into a playlist. Whenever you want to be elevated to a dreamy mood, put it on!
Take yourself on a date, doing something you love. There is no need to wait for your significant other to plan something for you. Pick something small (or big!) to do, and take a couple hours to enjoy it. Dress in something that makes you feel refined (maybe a certain perfume, a classy jacket, or lipstick that makes you feel like the most elegant creature to ever walk the earth.) While on your date, pay attention to the things happening around you. Savor each moment.
Book a dreamy photo shoot or do one yourself! It doesn’t matter if it’s just for you, or for you and a loved one!

Plan a themed gathering with friends! Consider a dessert theme where everyone brings a unique sweet treat, a tea party picnic, or a movie night where everyone dresses as a character. You can keep it simple, or go big! You don’t have to wait for a birthday or special occasion to do this… just pick an evening or weekend and have FUN!
The biggest secret of romanticizing your life…
Is to learn how to be present. Life is full of noise and busyness, but there are many moments of beauty that happen throughout the day - most of us are just too distracted to notice them. This is one of the most difficult things for us to do, but it is so worthwhile.
Happy romanticizing!
