Romantic Ways to Slow Down and Enjoy Cozy Season

As the air cools and the days feel shorter, there’s something magical about slowing down to enjoy it in all its glory. This cozy season is not about rushing through and checking things off your list; it’s all about creating romantic, memorable moments. More so, creating moments that bring back the beauty and joy to your life. In this post, all about Romantic Ways to Slow Down and Enjoy the Cozy Season, you will remember how the season invites softness, stillness, and togetherness.

Why Slowing Down Matters

Cozy fall and winter nights invite us to slow down and snuggle up — whether that’s with a blanket and a good book, a loved one, or a furry friend. These moments of rest and connection are the heart of feminine slow living — a reminder that softness and stillness can be deeply romantic.

Picture it now…
The sound of the fireplace softly crackling, the intoxicating scent of wood burning, the weight of a heavy blanket, and the company of someone (or something!) you adore. Doesn’t sound like life could get much better, right? I’m with you.

But here’s the best part — there are countless benefits to slowing down during cozy season. My three favorite ones?
Mental Clarity: When you rest, your mind resets.
Connection: Slowing down deepens your bond with loved ones.
Mindfulness: You begin to notice the small, beautiful details that make each day special.

These gentle benefits remind us that embracing rest isn’t laziness — it’s a feminine form of self-care and romance with the present moment.I wrote a previous article on Feminine Ways to Enjoy the Season You’re In, be sure to check it out!

Romantic Ways to Slow Down at Home

Romantic activities at home, feminine rituals, and cozy date night ideas are an absolute must this season. There’s something so special about slowing down together — creating warmth and connection right where you are.

Slowing down at home with your partner is a beautiful way to take the pressure off. Forget the endless checklists and perfectly planned outings; instead, focus on being present, playful, and relaxed. Whether it’s cooking together, dancing in the living room, or watching your favorite old movies, simple moments often become the most romantic memories.

Slow, Shared Mornings Together

slow living this season, romantic outings

I always recommend starting with something simple — share your day together. Slow mornings can feel deeply romantic when you’re intentional about them.

Start with a slow breakfast and coffee for two. Take it outside to the porch, snuggle under a fleece blanket, and light the fire pit. Who says fire pits are only for nights and weekends? Morning fires feel just as magical.

Take a morning walk in the brisk fall air. It’s both exhilarating and grounding — the perfect mix of movement and connection. Whether you stroll through the neighborhood, wander around your yard, or take a short hike, it’s one of the simplest cozy couple activities you can enjoy.

Or… stay in bed. Sometimes, the best slow morning ideas are the ones where you do nothing at all. Have an intentional lazy day with movies, books, and breakfast in bed. It’s restful, romantic, and perfectly in tune with the cozy season.

Share your chores. This one might sound counterintuitive to a slow morning, but hear me out — instead of “divide and conquer,” do them together. Light some candles, play soft music, and turn simple housework or home projects into something shared and meaningful. It’s a sweet, bonding ritual for couples and families alike.

Staying in doesn’t mean missing out on romance. In fact, some of the most meaningful moments happen right at home. Lighting a few candles at the dinner table instantly creates a cozy, romantic atmosphere — it’s like having your very own date night at home, any night of the week.

If you have children, they’ll love the magic of it too. Candlelight dinners become sweet family moments, not just romantic ones. It’s a beautiful way to model what slowing down and enjoying time together looks like.

Dinner dates at home can also turn into fun little adventures when you add a theme. Try letting everyone take turns choosing recipes — you’ll be surprised at the excitement it brings! In our home, we have a tradition for each night of the week. Taco Tuesday, anyone?

And the fun part? We don’t always stick to tacos. Sometimes it’s burritos or enchiladas — the point is to make meal planning easy, comforting, and joy-filled while staying true to the heart of cozy season: slowing down, savoring connection, and finding romance in the everyday..

This idea leads us to this next part…

Plan and Cook a Meal Together

Let’s call this magical act of romance Cozy Couple Cooking. Clever. I know. But in all seriousness, there are so many reasons why I love a romantic slow-cooked meal. Especially because it is the perfect idea for slowing down, taking your time to enjoy the process, not just the progress.

Presence over progress.

This can be more important than anything else, especially when you have a significant other or family. Slowing down and enjoying one another’s company takes the cake when it comes to cozy weather activities. One of my favorite meals to make is homemade Pho. It takes special planning for shopping at the store, gathering just the right ingredients, and is quite the lengthy process, even though it does not feel much like a hassle. My daughter enjoys cooking Pho with me quite often. Enjoying the yummy dinner as a whole family is the best reward.

Feminine Rituals to Embrace Slow Living

Just like any feminine ritual or hygge-inspired romance, these simple tips will help you gracefully swirl — like a leaf in the wind — right into cozy sweater season.

Here are a few romantic self-care ideas to make your evenings feel soft, mindful, and in-season:

Practice Self-Care Evenings — Create a routine that feels nourishing and calm. Try one (or a few) of these cozy rituals:
*A slow, candlelit bath with soothing music Try these beautiful flameless candles I recommend HERE
*Gentle yoga or stretching to release tension
*An evening walk through crisp autumn air
*Journaling by candlelight with tea or cider
*Reading a book by the fire in your coziest blanket
*Watching your favorite movies together as a couple

Each moment is an invitation to slow down, feel grounded, and connect with your most feminine, romantic self. I love putting together a puzzle during the slow seasons. The whole family will get involved. Here is a beautiful puzzle from Amazon HERE

Romanticizing your Daily Routines

Little day-to-day acts filled with intention can make the cozy season feel special — without adding stress or burnout. Creating a romantic, feminine atmosphere doesn’t have to be complicated; it’s about adding simple touches that feel aligned with your mood and the season.

Here are four intentional ways to romanticize your cozy season:
1. Decorate with Seasonal Flowers – Fresh blooms like mums, dahlias, or dried lavender add softness and natural beauty to your space.
2. Add Subtle Holiday Decor – Choose cozy textures, twinkle lights, or a touch of gold — little hints that make your home feel festive yet calm.
3. Play Music That Matches the Mood – A slow, feminine playlist with acoustic or jazz tones instantly transforms your atmosphere.
4. Keep the Lighting Soft – Swap harsh lights for candles or warm lamps. Soft lighting makes everything feel a little more magical.

Each of these gentle rituals helps you slow down, reconnect with yourself, and make every day feel like a cozy moment worth savoring.

Celebrate Small Moments

Keeping it simple is key for a slow and intentional cozy season. One of my favorite ways to unwind is with mindful tea moments — those little pauses that help me reconnect and romanticize the present.

This autumn, I’ve been sipping on cozy fall teas and ciders bursting with comforting flavors like cinnamon, maple, pecan, ginger, cardamom, cloves, nutmeg, and of course, pumpkin spice. Each cup feels like a gentle reminder to slow down and savor the beauty of the season.

Where are all my pumpkin spice girlies?

Feminine Ways to Enjoy The Season You’re In

Hello. If you are new to A Feminine Life Blog, welcome! If you are a returning reader, welcome back, Lovely. And if you are new and wondering what you stumbled onto, A Feminine Life is all about modern femininity with a classic twist. That includes finding your feminine confidence, discovering your personal style, pursuing fitness, decorating, and embracing aging gracefully. Today’s blog post is all about Feminine Ways To Enjoy The Season You’re In.

*Disclosure for Feminine Routine For the “Healthy” Girl. A Feminine Life’s product selections are curated by me. If you buy something through my links, I may earn an affiliate commission, at no cost to you. I only recommend products I genuinely love. View the disclosure at the end of this post for more information. This post on “It” girl morning routines is only a suggestion.

Today’s internet and social media make living in the here and now a challenge—especially when influencers post months ahead for marketing. Sure, we understand why we see reels in July titled How to Decorate for Fall, but it leaves us feeling cheated out of the season we’re actually in. Let’s be real: in July, most of us would rather scroll posts about refreshing summer drinks, new swimwear, or last-minute getaways.

I get it. I love browsing social media and following my favorite influencers, but I also like to keep things real while still planning ahead for future seasons and holidays.

If you’re anything like me, you want to slow down and savor the season you’re in—just a little longer than the world (and marketing) is pushing for.

Plan of Action

In this post, all about Feminine Ways To Enjoy The Season You’re In, you will read all about:

Autumn Reflections
Savor the Here and Now
Style and Beauty Tweaks
Create new Traditions with home or gathering
Stay true to your feminine and graceful self (and without being a killjoy)

First up, let’s begin with an autumn reflection. This can be as simple as journaling about where you are in life right now—whether you’re a mother, student, grandmother, mid-career, single, or married. Think of your life in terms of seasons, and compare your personal growth with nature’s cycles. That’s the heart of an autumn reflection.

Take a few moments—whether in one sitting or spread out over several days or weeks—to jot down where you are with your goals and personal growth. While the rest of the world is already shopping for Christmas trees, we’ll pause to focus on life goals and the meaning of autumn.

Savor the Present Senses (another great Feminine Ways To Enjoy The Season You’re In)

True—you can savor the here and now and still get a little Christmas shopping done in your spare time, right?

Right.

I get it. With four kids and plenty of nieces and nephews to shop for, I need a head start, too! But that doesn’t mean giving ourselves over completely to consumerism or ignoring the season we’re currently in.

Here are a few ways you really can “have your cake and eat it too.”

Seasonal care through daily rituals such as drinking cozy teas, candle-lit baths, and updating current skincare.
Bring in the fall sensations with touch and smells through fall-scented candles or room sprays, woodsy perfumes, spiced lattes, wool or flannel shirts, and blankets.
Slow living practices such as slow walks, journaling, or even simply slowing down and enjoying and savoring each meal.
If you are looking for a gratitude journal, try out this one sold on Amazon HERE

Style and Beauty Tweaks

Even though we might be scrolling through posts about Halloween parties or Christmas décor, no one wants to be wearing an ugly Christmas sweater in September. And if you’re like me—living somewhere warm where it’s still 90 degrees at the end of September—the last thing you want to do is throw on winter clothes just because your favorite Insta influencer is already rocking the cutest sweater dress (lucky her, she’s got snow).

Since it’s autumn as I’m writing this, one of the best ways to enjoy the season is by tweaking your wardrobe. I’m not suggesting a full closet overhaul—think of it more as a seasonal refresh.

You can…

Highlight transitional pieces or play with new color palettes.
Swap out makeup shades to reflect the season.
Add a signature accessory to subtly shift your look—a scarf, a brooch, or a seasonal lipstick. (That last one is my favorite and totally my signature move!)

feminine ways to enjoy the season you're in

Create or Continue traditions in Home and Gathering

Autumn is my favorite season to decorate for—even more than Christmas. There’s just something about those warm, rich tones of burgundy, brown, deep green, and rust that makes my home feel like a giant, cozy hug. One of my favorite rituals is taking a walk outside to gather little treasures for decorating. A handful of pinecones, some fiery leaves, or even a few wildflowers can instantly bring the season indoors. I’ll scent the pinecones with cinnamon oil, thread the leaves into a garland, or tuck fresh finds into vases for an easy autumn refresh.

When winter arrives, I do the same—bare branches become glittery arrangements, pinecones get a hint of pine oil, and evergreen boughs turn into fresh garlands. It’s simple, affordable, and it keeps me grounded in the beauty of the season.

Another way I love to celebrate is through graceful hosting. A fall tea party with friends or a cozy winter soup night always feels special, no matter how simple. I also keep a gratitude jar on the counter, slipping in a daily note of thanks. Sometimes we bake together as a family, trying a new recipe or bringing back an old favorite. And whenever I can, I write a handwritten note—because nothing brightens someone’s day quite like a personal letter.

Last (but not Least) Tip for Feminine Ways To Enjoy The Season You’re In:

Just as we began, we’ll end with reflection—only this time, a little deeper.

First, practice life-season acceptance. Every stage—whether busy or restful—has its own beauty.

Second, give yourself a daily pause for gratitude and elegance: What am I thankful for right now? How can I bring more grace into my routines?

Third, set gentle, realistic goals to carry you smoothly into each new season of life.

I’d love to hear from you—what are your own feminine seasonal rituals? Share them in the comments so we can inspire each other. Thank you for being here, and may you find joy and growth in every stage of life’s cycles.

Feminine Routine For the “Healthy” Girl

August 25, 2025

It Girl Morning routines are coveted by women all over the World. Especially for women who know what it is to be the “It Girl” because they have got it all figured out! And now you can too. That’s why I came up with this “IT” Girl routine.

If you’ve never been a routine girl, let alone, a morning routine girl, let me tell you, it is a GAME CHANGER! I wasn’t always a morning routine girly, not until I learned the importance a routine plays on beauty and self care. That, and once I discovered this morning routine was the way all IT girls follow to some extent or another, I was sold!

Why start or follow a feminine Morning routine for the “IT” girl? Well, if you want a seamlessly smooth morning that is no stress, no fuss and ALL the results you’ll want to keep reading to discover the secrets behind all “IT” girls.

THE BREAKDOWN for Feminine Routine For the “Healthy” Girl

So what’s the first thing us women should focus on?

Here’s the breakdown in a nutshell:

Ample Sleep
First Sips
First Movements
Sunrise solute
No Fuss skin care routine
All Natural Make-up Look
The non-diet diet to fuel up
the no exercise guide to staying fit

Step 1. Ample Sleep

You’ve heard it before but I’ll say it again. Be sure to get your Zzzs! A good night’s rest is not only essential for your nervous system and ensuring you’re ready to get up and going the next morning, sleep also repairs your body at night. When I say repair, I mean just that. Proper sleep will repair your muscles after daily exercise, will help your body metabolize properly and digest fully. Sufficient sleep will also help your hair and nails grow, improve collagen and elastin production, and reduce excessive cortisol production.

Another bonus gained from getting adequate sleep, is that your hunger cues won’t be mixed up. The last thing you want to do is end end up over eating because you are eating for energy and not because you are actually hungry, or over doing it on the caffeine which will also end in poor eating choices and wreck havoc on your nervous system.

So if you want to be a prime example of Feminine Routine For the “Healthy” Girl, get your beauty rest.

Step 2: First Sips

Of course I’m going to mention the importance of sipping on water ALL day. Because you’ve heard this advice 1,000 times, I’ll only touch briefly on the importance of drinking ample water daily. Always, ALWAYS, drink a cup of water (or warm lemon water) before you drink caffeine. Even better, have a glass of water with added electrolytes.

Try to sip on water all day versus guzzling it down. This way you don’t feel water-logged, sloshy, and the task becomes more manageable. I personally aim for 90 ounces of water daily.

Water is not the only importance drink you should be sipping daily. Drinking herbal teas are a healthy way to reach your daily water intake goal, but also aid in hydration. You’ll have to do some research on the benefits from different herbal teas. Passion fruit, chamomile, rose, hibiscus, mint, and rooibos, are some of my favorite choices.

You’ll want to limit the caffeine intake because this dehydrates you. Try adding different fruits and herbs to your water and teas to make hydrating more fun!

Feminine Routine For the “Healthy” Girl 3: First Movements

How you move your body first thing in the morning will either break you or make you. Think about it, what does every cat or dog, (or insert choice animal here) do when they first wake?

They stretch!

Rolling out of bed and racing around the house, going up and down the stairs, taking care of every one else in the house first before taking care of yourself is a sure way to disaster. First, you will start your day with a cortisol spike. Second, you will feel stressed, flustered, and stiff.

Give yourself ample time in the morning to stretch. Sit in your bed and roll your head from side to side. Move your hips in circles. Reach for your toes. Stretch to the sky. Once your body is feeling a little bit more out of the sleepy state it was once in, aim for a light walk, a gentle morning yoga, or a Pilates class.

Step 4: Sunrise Solute!

“Early to rise first to bed.” “Early Bird get’s the worm” …

We’ve been hearing cute little mottos our entire lives. That’s because there must be something to it! At least, according to the IT Girl, there is. Every It girl knows that when you wake up with the sun, soak up some of that vitamin D, you are a happier, more positive person. There’s something to be said about starting your day out with the sun and ending it with the sunrise to make you feel complete. It’s a mind trick to feel as though you have finished what you started and that you made the most of your day.

I started waking up consistently at the same time every day no matter how much sleep I’ve gotten the night before, and let me tell you, my day feels so long and fulfilling!

Feminine Routine For the “Healthy” Girl only suggests getting up with the sun because it gives you a sense of making the most of your day. If you prefer to sleep in until late morning, do YOU!

Step 5: No Fuss Skin Care Routine

With all the products saturating the market, it’s no wonder it’s easy to get lost in the sea of skin care products and know what we should be doing. That’s why it’s important to keep our skincare routine simple. In doing so, you will spend less money on unnecessary products, waste less because you use all of the product before buying new, and thirdly, you will have a no-brainer when it comes to your everyday skincare routine.

Here’s an example of what my skincare routine looks like as my Feminine Routine For the “Healthy” Girl…

ice bath or very cold water splash
wash face with two-in-one exfoliating wash
Use a toner to add important PH balancers back into skin (I like Thatcher’s Rose water)
moisturizer Cushion cream from Summer Friday BUY HERE: https://amzn.to/46Ac0kF
Star glow glow gel BUY HERE: https://amzn.to/408XHjg
sunscreen (I use a CC cream or BB cream that acts as tinted moisturizer and sunscreen protection) BUY HERE: https://amzn.to/3TySZHJ

Added vitamin C and or Hyaluronic acid drops for a dewy look BUY HERE: https://amzn.to/3Gj6QPz

Step 6: Natural-looking makeup is a Feminine Routine For the “Healthy” Girl hack!

Who doesn’t like a quick and easy make-up routine that not only saves you time, but makes you look like a million bucks? The best part of a swift and effective makeup routine is that you use minimal product, showcase your best features, and save time. With this easy make-up look, you’ll spend less time in front of the mirror and more time doing what you enjoy! Hopefully, this routine will become like second-nature to you and you’ll be able to perfect your own personal look in less time.

I personally go for a natural look on days I’m in a hurry or I am going for simplicity.

Step one:

Follow the skincare routine in the previous tip above.

Step two:

If your moisturizer or CC cream does not contain SPF, this is where you apply your SPF. The bonus of using a sunscreen is an added dewy, healthy face look. If shiny or dewy is not your thing, you can tone down the shine/dew by adding a powder (I choose a mineral formula. This Super Goop is a primer and sunscreen in one! BUY HERE: https://amzn.to/4lFkc8d

Step three:

concealer for spot coverage. I like this one by Tarte. BUY HERE: https://amzn.to/4eHuSQR

Step Four:

your all-in-one primer/foundation/CC or BB cream with SPF if you missed it in the skin care step prior, here is my favorite product for this by Ilia BUY HERE: https://amzn.to/44V0O0J

Step five:

bronzer for showcasing your cheekbones and jawline. I like Physicians Formula Butter products. You can buy it HERE: https://amzn.to/3GFHknz

Step Six:

Blush to highlight those apples! But you don’t have to stop at the cheeks, you can now add to your eyelids to tie in the whole rosy glow look! BUY HERE: https://amzn.to/3U9RwaU

Step seven:

A Shimmering eyeshadow in the white color palette to put in the inner corners of your eyes. This will brighten them up. Use a shade darker (I like a light gold or champagne color for across the bottom of the eyelid as well).

Step eight:

mascara. I love the Honest brand. You can BUY HERE: https://amzn.to/40c1yMt

Step Nine:

Use a highlighter to highlight your favorite features. I always add to the tip of my nose, in the crease of my Cupid’s Bow, and the highest part of my cheekbones. I adore Physicians Formula. BUY MY FAVE HERE: https://amzn.to/40a4NUx

Bonus Step Ten:

If time allows: I like to add a slight wing to the outside of my outer lids. What this means is that instead of adding eyeliner across the full expanse of my eyelid, I only add a wing to the far outer corner. This makes the eyes appear bigger and adds a cat-like shape. This takes WAY way less time than adding a full line across the eyelid. I like Physicians Formula found HERE: https://amzn.to/4lL2WOd

Final tips and thoughts…

Don’t forget that your neck is an extension of your face.
create a look that is unique to you
make it a goal to use as few products as possible
make it as natural as possible. Remember, we are going for that “It Girl” vibe.
Have FUN!

STEP 7 The NON-Diet Diet for your It Girl Morning Routine

For this next “It Girl” tip, I go over how not to diet to stay lean and healthy without yo-yo dieting, counting calories, or obsessing about food, the scale, or anything else you might be thinking you need to do to get your desired body shape. If you’ve never read this book, French Women Don’t Get Fat, I highly recommend it. You can find a copy right HERE: https://amzn.to/4lja5Wb

I stopped counting calories, tracking macros, weighing food, and following strict diet plans a long time ago. These approaches made me miserable, took the joy out of eating, and never resulted in a sustainable lifestyle change. Through research and personal trial and error, I have compiled a set of “rules” from top influencers that promote healthy eating. These guidelines have helped me maintain a consistent body weight and size for the past twenty years! This journey includes my experiences with marriage, raising four kids, moving numerous times, attending college, adapting to different living environments, and now navigating perimenopause.

HOW TO:

NOT DIET LIKE AN “IT” GIRL

The first thing you can do is not count calories. Instead, dish up food on small plates and bowls, and listen to your body. Stop when you are satisfied, not stuffed. You avoid the scarcity mindset by telling yourself that you can have more if you are hungry and that there WILL be another meal later on, so no need to stuff yourself now.

There’s no room for diet food. Always reach for the real thing. You will be satisfied with less of the real food product versus more of the copycat, only claiming to be healthier. Also, you avoid cutting out food groups from your diet this way.

Another thing, is always hydrate first. Sometimes we get our hunger and thirst signals mixed up. Try drinking a glass of water first. On the topic of hydrating, always drink a mug of hot water, lemon or herbal, alongside your meals. This aids in digestion and keeps your body hydrated.

WHAT ELSE?

Reach for fresh seasonal produce. By eating food that is in Season, you will get more nutrients from your meals, and thus, your body will feel more satisfied.

If you are craving something, go for it, and go for the real thing, not the diet version. Just keep in check portion sizes, opt for sharing with someone, and then don’t think about it later (not guilt or shame whatsoever. This is your 20%. This only works if you are eating super lean and nutrient-rich foods 80% of the time and moving your body regularly.

It girls don’t snack all day. They eat three balanced meals (sitting down and never on the go in the car) that are protein and nutrient-rich. If they are feeling famished or in need of a snack, even with eating three meals, they listen to their bodies and go for something high in protein, or something like fruit or vegetables.

Drinking bingers are a no-go for the average “It Girl”. An occasional alcoholic beverage is no thing, but the regular consumption of alcohol leads to messed up hormones and blood sugar, and contributes to a wider waistline.

LASTLY:

Get your supplements daily. Supplements like apple cider vinegar, turmeric, capsaicin, collagen, omega-rich fish oils, multi vitamins, your daily greens and superfoods, and so on… Talking to a holistic health expert or doctor to find out what vitamins you need is a must!

Step 8

The No Exercise Guide to Staying Fit

When it comes to fitness, the internet, influencers, friends, and family all seem to have something to say on what you should be doing. It’s quite easy to get bogged down in information and feel lost. That’s why I’m not going to be just another person telling you WHAT I think you should be doing. Instead, I’m going to keep it as simple as possible.

The right exercise for you is the one you’re going to stick with.

There. Not quite what you expected, right?

There are a few reasons why I suggest doing the exercises that you’ll stick with. Mainly, your best exercise is the one you will continue to do long-term. I’m pretty sure that somewhere along the way, people forgot that the whole point of exercise is to help our bodies stay strong, supple, and mobile. Somewhere along the way, our fitness goals have turned to body aesthetics. From booty growth, to visible abs, to thigh gap…we truly lost sight of the why.

With that being said, choose daily exercise that will support your lifestyle, help you stay mobile for as long as possible. Choose something that you actually enjoy, because if you don’t enjoy the fitness, you will not stick with it. You can often find me going for walks or runs, lifting weights a couple of times a week, or stretching deep with pilates and yoga.

Why Be More Feminine?

We are in a place in time where being more feminine is heavily desired. The reasons for this could be because of the harsh, uncertain World we live in right now. People, women in particular, are craving more softness all around. There’s this desire to be around those more feminine because of the nurturing, gentle, and caring manner of people like this.

Grab your journal and write down what being feminine means to you. Next, think in small measures, write down at least 5-9 things you can start doing today to get there. Take this article as your guide.

Here’s an example what my journal might read if I were to start over and take my own advice.

simplify life by cutting out what no longer serves me, or causes me unheeded stress. I will cut back my obligations and side hustles to a more practical, less stressful number. I’ll only say yes if it’s something I like to do, or that won’t cause me stress.
Decide what’s more important to me in my life. For me, it is to spend as much time with my children before they are all grown and it’s too late to be the stay at home mom I’ve always desired to be. I won’t be taking on a full time, or even part time job that takes me away from my kids and family. (I won’t get this time back with them).
I will simplify my closet and only store clothes in my closest that makes me feel good, that compliments my skin, hair, eyes, and body shape. I will work on my capsule wardrobe and focus on quality over quantity.
I will wear clothes that make me feel feminine and not overly masculine.
I will create healthy micro habits that don’t take a lot of time but make a big difference (morning routine, skin care routine, exercise habits, healthy eating habits, bedtime routine)
I will get outside more often and take a walk outside, work in the garden, take kids and pets to the park and spend more time outdoors

Learn to Let Go

When you learn to let go of what no longer serves you, you make room for what is important to you most. The benefits of doing this are plenty. My favorite benefit is that after you let go of habits, activities, jobs, tasks, and even people, that no longer serve your greater goals in life, you are free to focus on the important stuff and RECLAIM LOST TIME.

Okay, so you may not be able to get time back wasted on things that fell outside your life goals, but moving forward, it’s nothing but YOUR TIME, YOUR WAY!

If I were to write down in my hand journal what this might look like, it would go something like this:

Important

my husband and Kids
My closest friends who I don’t have to force a friendship with (name, name, name)
My pets
my hobbies (horses, sewing, baking, cooking, decorating my home)
Playing music
Blogging 1-2 x per week
Editing novels and working with editors
Teaching music
Substitute teaching to earn _$$$_ monetary goals

Things I might consider not as important or no longer serving me…

Phase out or at the least, don’t waste my energy on people who are toxic or don’t align with my values. No forced friendships. People make time for you if it was important to them… (name, name, name)
Quit wasting time and money on hobbies or projects I don’t enjoy or am not good at
Limit the number of students I’m willing to teach music to
Limit the number of days I’m willing to sub at schools
Don’t force a blog post or writing a story I’m dreading or not feeling
Possibly quit extra side hustles or jobs that I dread or stress about

Simplifying Your Life to be more feminine!

Simplifying your life often involves letting go of what no longer serves you, which can help reduce stress. I remember a time driving with my family when I suddenly felt breathless and panicked, thinking I might pass out. I pulled over, took deep breaths, and reassured myself that I was safe. This experience highlighted the need to manage my stress and focus on my well-being. Although I’m still learning to destress, I’ve made significant progress in listening to my body and simplifying my life.

Create small habits, say no when necessary, and limit your daily tasks to 5 (excluding chores). Simplifying your life fosters a sense of control. Also, aim to arrive 20 minutes early to appointments and give yourself plenty of time to ready for events.. Check out this previous post for how to simplify your life: Classy Habits To Start Today

Create Micro Habits

Change does not need to happen by making huge, grandiose changes. Instead, you can start by making small, micro changes that will add up over time. In fact, I insist that you do. By making micro changes to your life, the tasks don’t seem so daunting. You won’t feel like your giving anything up, stressing yourself out, and you are more likely to stick to your goals. Chances are, you already have a pretty good understanding about what you need to do to reach your goals for being more feminine. Especially if you are reading this blog post.

Try making micro changes by adding in one new habit each month. Here, take a look at my own personal goals to see what I’m talking about…

January, trade out your second cup of coffee for a ritual grade matcha green tea daily.

February, Only have a glass of wine (or other alcohol) during special occasions or limit to one day on week.

March, Have lemon water and capsaicin pills before breakfast, add other supplements for health, get outside 20 minutes min each day

April, Choose outfits that make me feel good everyday, never wear active wear or yoga clothes out of the gym or house

May, Get more protein and be more consistent with strength training each week (3-4 days a week) mostly just have fun being active since the weather is warming up 🙂

Find Strength in being Feminine

As a society, the closer we get to a boss babe, leave the house and work as much and as hard as a man, mentality, the more we step back from our natural urges as a woman to be feminine. Furthermore, we start to view being a soft girl, or being feminine as a bad thing, as though it’s weak to be a soft girl or feminine.

There’s nothing wrong with being an ambitious woman who has always dreamed of being a boss babe and working a corporate life, but at what cost? The problem lies within not being able to balance your needs as a woman, caregiver, mother, wife and putting your own health and wellness over the boss babe corporate dream. Women often feel obligated to keep up with a man, and we can. Moreover, women feel obligated to do everything the men do, and better, and we can.

Why are we trying to prove anything to anyone?

Of course we can do everything a man can do and even better sometimes. But let’s not degrade a man. Let’s not make it a mission to prove to them or to anyone that we are capable.

Instead, what if we proved that we can balance our lives better. What if we prove that we can put our health first, our families, out emotions, and prove that we can balance work and personal life. A feminine woman isn’t designed to work 90 hour weeks (and why would you want to?) Feminine women are not designed to get the same amount of sleep as a man. We need more sleep then men. The point is, stop trying to prove to anyone that you can do it and do it well or better. Let’s teach our daughters that it’s okay to have boundaries, to want more sleep, to balance work, family and personal health and wellness with career dreams.

Romanticize Your Life as a way to be more feminine

Is there anything more feminine than romanticizing everything you do? The word romance itself is such a feminine word that I get happy little chills every time I say it or hear it. By taking the time to live in each moment, breathe it in, take in every little detail, you are romanticizing it. It’s as simple as that. Slow down and let yourself be at peace when you are doing anything. From cooking dinner to pulling weeds in the garden; when you’re at the park with your kids, to taking a solo bike ride to town for a fresh loaf of bread from the bakery…

Enjoy all the senses surrounding you and practice committing each moment to memory. When doing this, you will make the most of your time, take the stress out of events or everyday tasks, and practice being more grateful for each moment.

Start Feminine Habits

If you’re new to tapping into your feminine urges, no problem, we will start with micro habits. Let’s dive right into these feminine habits you can start doing today that will be sure to fire up your feminine urges.

follow a morning routine. Check out this previous post HERE
wear feminine clothing that make you feel good and shows off your best features
style your hair and makeup everyday (even if you’re going for a natural look and a simple side braid)
eat in a way that balances your hormones, gives you energy, and helps you look and feel your best
do activities that give you purpose or means something to you (cut out the fluff that doesn’t serve you)
Move your body every day and spend at least 20 minutes outside
listen to feminine or romantic music
Watch feminine or romantic movies
Read feminine or romantic books
Spend time choosing your own produce
Take a class doing something feminine (flower arranging, sewing, baking, cooking, painting…)
Always smell the roses (awe, Granny…)
Tap into your nurturing side. Spend time taking care of others (kids, spouse, volunteering somewhere…)
SLOW DOWN. That’s it, slow down everything you do.
Find a bedtime routine
Wear something feminine or silky (or wear nothing at all) to bed.
Get your beauty rest

Dress More Feminine Chic

When you feel good, you look good. Wear clothes that make you feel your best which means that you are choosing clothes that you already knows looks good, and is flattering for your body shape, your skin tone and eye color. If you aren’t sure where to start, I have a couple articles that might help.

Body Shapes

Summer Capsule Wardrobe

Spring Fashion

Last But Not Least for 9 Ways to Be More Feminine Now, Find Yourself in Nature

Making the most of every waking moment can be exhausting, and that’s understandable. In that case, it’s best to start small. When you step outside for some fresh air, truly take in each moment. Focus on every beam of sunlight filtering through the trees and every speck of dust caught in it. Have you ever really noticed how beautiful a tree looks in the wind, or how everything seems to glitter after a rainstorm?

If you are looking for more creative ways to get outside, try taking your computer or work outside with you. Read a book in the garden or by the pool…the point is, be intentional with your outdoor time and open yourself up to appreciating the world around you.

7 Classy Habits To Start Today To Be More Feminine

April 18, 2025

You may be reading this article for one of two reasons: either you are a feminine woman who wants to become more classy, or you are learning to embrace your femininity and have set standards for yourself. I, too, have made it my lifelong mission to become a classier woman. It’s not something we are born knowing how to do, and it may not have been something our female role models considered teaching us. However, you are not alone in this journey. Many women like you are striving to elevate their lives, and learning to be classy is just one way to achieve that!

Regardless what brought you here, WELCOME. I’m so glad you came! This article is all about 7 classy habits for women to start today to be more feminine. Here’s a sneak-peak at what we will be discussing.

Always Showcase What is unique about you
Proper Etiquette for ALL occasions
Use renewable sources
Classy women sip all day
How Classy women view food & diets
Always Ontime but never rushed
Add More Mystery

Classy Habit Tip #1

Always showcase what is unique about yourself

One of my favorite tips, and in my opinion, one of the most important, is to showcase what makes you unique. This approach is classy because instead of trying to hide or deny something about yourself, you embrace it and confidently show the world what sets you apart.

For many years, I disliked a small mole on my chin, especially during my teenage and young adult years. I even considered getting it removed several times. However, what always stopped me was an article I read about why French women are so admired. It pointed out that French women highlight their unique features rather than hiding them. Inspired by this, I started using a makeup pencil to emphasize my beauty mark instead of covering it up, and now I no longer feel the need to conceal it.

The lesson here is that if there’s something about you that deviates from the norm, or something you wish you could change, consider accepting and embracing it instead of wishing it away. Other examples are beauty marks, birthmarks, face shape, eye shape, lip shape, hair color, nose shape and so on…

Tip #2

Proper Etiquette for ALL Occasions

A classy woman understands that a little manners can go a long way in making a positive impression. When you reflect on the cultural landscape of the 20th and early 21st centuries, you can’t help but think of the gentlemen who opened doors and the proper ladies who carried themselves with grace and poise. These individuals demonstrated a level of respect and etiquette that many people admired and aspired to.

Of course, every generation has its flaws and challenges. However, it’s worth noting that the values of chivalry and politeness held significant significance in those times. Whether it was a simple “thank you” or a respectful gesture, these acts of kindness and consideration contributed to a more harmonious social environment.

Sadly, it seems that what was once regarded as a way of life and an art form is somewhat lost on today’s youth and younger generations. In a world dominated by technology and fast-paced communication, the emphasis on courteous behavior often takes a back seat.

I understand that this perspective may come off as nostalgic, but think deeply about how wonderful it is to be treated with respect and kindness. Imagine the refreshing impact it would have on our daily interactions if we prioritized teaching our children the importance of being polite and practicing proper etiquette. Picture a world where small acts of courtesy—like saying “please” and “thank you,” listening with intent, and treating others as equals—became the norm again. Such a shift could lead to a more compassionate, connected, and understanding society.

Tip #3 Classy Habits for Women

Use REAL, Long Lasting Material and Products

Classy women appreciate the importance of avoiding waste and understand that paper products don’t convey sophistication. Picture this: you’re excited for a date at the finest restaurant in town, but the table is set with paper plates and plastic utensils. It’s a letdown, right? Why settle for that?

At home, you can elevate your dining experience and show yourself the respect you deserve. Embracing real linen napkins, cotton tablecloths, glass cups, and sturdy metal silverware not only adds a touch of elegance but is also more sustainable and cost-effective in the long run. Let’s celebrate beautiful moments with timeless style!

Classy Habits for Women Tip #4 Sip All Day

A refined woman knows that hydration is key to enhancing her beauty and well-being. You’ll often find elegant women around the globe enjoying a drink in style. By sipping on beverages throughout the day, they effortlessly maintain hydration while avoiding the pitfalls of guzzling. This mindful habit not only wards off dehydration but also helps curb overeating, as thirst can easily be mistaken for hunger!

Their favorite classy choices include:

Pure water
Sparkling water
Refreshing mineral water
Soothing herbal tea
A delightful cup of coffee or espresso on occasion
A splash of caffeinated tea now and then

And remember, these graceful women enjoy alcohol, caffeine, and sugary drinks in moderation for a balanced lifestyle!

Classy Habits of Feminine Women Tip #5

Classy Women Don’t Roller Coaster Diet and Don’t Obsess Over Their Weight

A refined woman embraces a balanced approach to health, steering clear of the extremes of roller coaster diets and obsessive behaviors around food and exercise. While she certainly values her well-being and makes mindful choices about what she eats and how she moves, she understands that this is about cultivating a lifestyle, not adhering to the latest fads.

Classy habits encourage freedom from the cycle of yo-yo dieting, helping you recognize that a thoughtful plan combined with better choices leads to lasting health and the body you desire. Rather than falling for trends that merely aim to profit from dieters, focus on establishing sustainable habits that promote long-term well-being.

These habits include:

Eating a variety of whole foods that nourish your body
Practicing portion control without deprivation
Staying active with enjoyable physical activities rather than rigid exercise regimens
Allowing for indulgences in moderation, without guilt

With consistency and a commitment to nurturing your body, you can achieve a healthy, elegant lifestyle that reflects your values and aspirations.

Here are some effective ways to cultivate a balanced and sustainable approach to health and wellness:

Don’t Cut Out Food Groups: Your body thrives on a well-balanced diet that includes all food groups. Eliminating any one of them is not only unsustainable but can lead to weight gain when you eventually reintroduce those foods.
Eat Everything in Moderation: Nothing is off-limits. An all-or-nothing mindset can lead to binge eating. Instead, enjoy your favorite treats in moderation—this helps maintain a healthy relationship with food.
Use Smaller Plates: Serving your meals on smaller plates encourages smaller portions. The real issue often lies in portion size rather than the type of food.
Focus on Fresh, Seasonal Produce: Base your meals around seasonal fruits and vegetables, which should take up the majority of your plate. They are not only nutritious but also delicious!
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water, and don’t forget to add electrolytes and herbal teas. Often, people mistake thirst for hunger, so adequate hydration is essential.
Intentionally Move Your Body: Look for opportunities to walk. If your destination is less than two miles away, choose to walk instead. Park further from entrances and opt for in-store shopping to incorporate more movement into your day.
Don’t Overexercise: Excessive exercise isn’t classy or chic. Doing too much can lead to increased cortisol levels, resulting in inflammation, bulkiness, and a higher risk of injury.
Choose Enjoyable Activities: When it comes to exercise, find activities you love. Whether it’s walking, dancing, Pilates, yoga, cycling, skiing, or paddleboarding, sticking to what you enjoy is crucial for sustainability.
Aim for 10k Steps Daily: Walking is a simple yet effective way to stay active. It’s easier to reach your goal when you stay in motion throughout the day. Try to combine activities, like scrolling on your phone while strolling through the park!

By incorporating these practices into your daily routine, you can foster a graceful and sustainable approach to wellness that enhances both your physical health and your overall lifestyle.

Classy Habits for Women Tip #6

Always On Time But Never Rushing

You’ve probably heard the saying, “If you’re not early, you’re late.” This principle holds significant value and is well understood by classy women. Being on time without the need to rush is a key habit for maintaining elegance.

So, how can you arrive on time without feeling rushed? I’m glad you asked! I’ve struggled with this classy habit myself in the past, so I understand the challenges. Before we get into the “how,” let’s discuss the “why.”

Why is this important? Because it’s not classy to be the woman who constantly appears on the verge of a mental breakdown, showing up a few minutes late and looking frazzled. You don’t want to be the one people think, “Wow, she must be really busy since she always looks as if she fought in World War III just to be here on time.”

Instead, strive to be the woman who arrives 10 to 15 minutes early, exuding calmness and composure. You don’t want to be frantically juggling your belongings, rushing to sign in, and desperately trying to catch up on what you’ve missed. Embrace the elegance of timeliness and presence; it will truly make a difference!

How to always be on time and never rushed:

Set your alarm for one hour before the time you need to leave for your destination.
Create a checklist of everything you need to bring for the occasion.
Instead of getting dressed right before the event, select your outfit the night before. Use your morning routine to do your hair and makeup. For tips on building a great morning routine, check out my previous article on “10 Morning Feminine Habits to Start Now.”
Ensure your car has enough gas one or two days before the event.
If you’re getting children or a significant other ready, make sure they have everything they need as well (add their items to your checklist).
Bring a purse, bag, briefcase, or tote to carry everything you need. The less you have in your hands, the less stressed you’ll feel.
Arrive at your location early, but don’t go empty-handed. If you find yourself with extra time, bring work to complete while you wait, either inside or in your car. You can answer emails, create checklists for the following day, set appointments, return calls, plan dinners, or jot down recipes and shopping lists. Alternatively, consider bringing a book to read or listening to a podcast.
Walk into your meeting or appointment 10 to 15 minutes early, appearing calm and composed, without juggling any items.

Here’s a tote to consider from AMAZON

Classy Habits for Women Tip #7

Have More Mystery

The final step to developing classy habits and embracing a more feminine identity is to cultivate an air of mystery. Classy women know that discretion is key; they never overshare personal details and always leave a little to the imagination. When we disclose too much about ourselves, we diminish the intrigue and curiosity others may have about us. It’s important to keep your audience guessing and wanting to discover more about you.

To be a truly classy woman, you need to be interesting, and nothing sparks interest quite like a hint of mystery.

I struggle with this advice, especially as a caregiver. Often, my conversations focus on children, which I genuinely enjoy. However, when I finally have the chance to engage in adult conversation, I can be overly enthusiastic and find myself rambling on too much. It’s easy to fall into the trap of sharing too many details. I completely understand that this can be a challenging aspect to master!

Well that’s a wrap. I hope you have some pretty good tips from this article all about 7 classy habits for women to start today to be more feminine! Until next time…

13 Lazy Girl Summer Activities to Try Now

April 15, 2025

So, you want to embrace a lazy girl lifestyle? You dream of hot summer days lounging by the pool and warm summer nights sipping fruit-filled sangria, all without a care in the world. Whether you’re looking to unwind after a busy period or simply need some time to relax and recharge, I completely understand. I often feel overwhelmed and burnt out from constant social interactions and noise, too. That’s why I created this article about lazy girl summer activities. These activities will not only help you enjoy your summer but also allow you to reclaim your peace of mind.

In this post you will discover THESE 13 Lazy Girl Activities that won’t stress you out:

Lounging by the pool
reading
gardening
sewing
painting
walking along the beach
bike ride
trying out new ways to eat summer produce
traveling
dance
sipping cocktails or mocktails
keeping to smaller, more select groups of friends/family
romanticizing alone time with your significant other

HERE WE GO!

Step 1. Lazy Girl Activities: Lounge by the pool

It sounds easy enough, right? Just throw on your bathing suit, grab a glass of lemon cucumber iced water, and start relaxing. You don’t have to drive miles or even hours away to enjoy sunbathing or lounging under an umbrella. If you crave more quiet and solitude, consider a solo poolside retreat in your own backyard.

Here are some ways to lounge by the pool this summer:

Set up a little poolside oasis in your backyard. If you don’t have an in-ground pool, there are plenty of options for above-ground pools.
Call your local recreation center or swimming pool and ask about open swim times, adult swim classes, or when the facility is typically least busy. Many swimming centers offer designated adult-only swim times if you prefer to avoid the hustle and bustle of children splashing around.
If the noise and chatter of kids don’t bother you, and you want to make pool lounging a family activity, feel free to bring the kids along. Recreation centers are usually an affordable option for family outings.

Enjoy your summer lounging!.

Step 2. Another Lazy Girl summer Activities: Reading

Reading requires some mental effort, but there’s a relaxed, no-pressure aspect to it that makes it an enjoyable, laid-back activity. You can take your time with a book, savoring each moment. Creating a cozy and relaxing atmosphere enhances the overall experience. During the summer months, I love to read by the pool or on a picnic blanket in the park, enjoying the shade. I also enjoy sitting in a porch swing or a camp chair. While it’s perfectly fine to read on the couch or in bed, my personal goal during the summer is to really embrace the season and make the most of it.

step 3. Gardening is an awesome hobby for Lazy Girl Activities

Gardening can be both a rewarding task and a beneficial form of low-impact exercise. It offers a relaxing way to enjoy brisk early mornings and cool evenings. The best part of having a garden is reaping the rewards of your hard work, whether through harvesting fruits and vegetables, clipping flowers for vases, or simply setting up a hammock to enjoy the beauty around you.

Step 4. Sewing

Sewing is one of those hobbies that allows you to relax, take your time, and enjoy a cup of tea or watch a movie simultaneously. This makes it a perfect choice for lazy girl summer activities. There are various forms of sewing, including machine sewing and hand sewing. If you don’t know how to sew, we live in a time where you can simply type “how to” into a search bar and find step-by-step instructions along with videos to follow. So, crank up the air conditioner, pour yourself a cup of tea, put on a chick flick, and start sewing!

5. Painting makes the list of lazy summer girl activities

While some of these lazy girl summer activities may seem like work, they truly aren’t, as you have the freedom to choose how much effort you want to invest in them. Many of these activities, such as painting, can be done using supplies you already have, which keeps things simple and stress-free. Whether you decide to paint alone while enjoying some quiet time or invite a friend or two for a fun, creative afternoon, the choice is yours.

The primary goal of painting is to embrace the joy of the process. Imagine yourself sitting comfortably on your porch, a refreshing glass of sangria or herbal tea in hand, as you let your creativity flow. You could capture the vibrant hues of the sunset as they dance in the sky, all while surrounded by the gentle sounds of nature in your garden. It’s a relaxing and picturesque scene that truly embodies the essence of summer—a perfect, dreamy escape from the daily grind.

6. Walking along the beach

Why walking along the beach?

It’s summer, and there’s nothing that embodies the season quite like walking along a coastline. There’s something magical about feeling the sand squish between your toes, listening to the waves crash, and watching the water retreat again and again. It truly captures the ease of a summer vacation.

If you don’t live near a beach or don’t have a short drive available, don’t worry! There are plenty of other options that evoke the same summer vibes. For example, you can often find a lake, river, or creek nearby that will provide a similar feeling. Grab your maps and start planning your trip today!

7. Take a bike ride

What may initially seem like work or exercise actually qualifies as one of the delightful lazy girl summer activities, as it can be an incredibly joyful and stress-reducing experience. Riding a bike might require physical effort, yet it offers so much more. It’s an opportunity to immerse yourself in the beauty of nature while reaping the mental benefits of fresh air and outdoor exploration.

As you pedal along, the world around you transforms into a picturesque landscape. You might glide by blooming gardens, shimmering lakes, or sun-dappled forests, with the gentle breeze caressing your skin. This sensory experience allows you to fully appreciate the sights and sounds of summer, from the cheerful chirping of birds to the dazzling colors of wildflowers lining your path.

Cycling not only gives you a chance to unwind and escape daily stresses but also provides moments of introspection. With each turn of the pedals, you have the space to let your mind wander, reflect on your goals, or simply enjoy the freedom of the open road. It truly embodies the spirit of summer—an inspiring blend of adventure, relaxation, and connection with nature. So, grab your bike and embrace the joy of riding through the beautiful outdoors this summer!

Step 8. Eat fresh food in season

Eating food that is in season always tastes better and offers various benefits. This is a great tip for anyone interested in easy and enjoyable activities. Shopping at your local farmers’ market allows you to pick fresh fruits and vegetables that are at their peak ripeness, resulting in superior flavor and higher nutritional value.

In contrast, large chain grocery stores often stock out-of-season produce, which may not taste as good or be as nutritious. For example, a vine-ripened tomato from a farmers’ market is far better than one that has traveled long distances.

By choosing seasonal produce, you not only enjoy better flavors but also support local farmers and strengthen your connection to the changing seasons. So, the next time you’re looking for fresh ingredients, head to your local farmers’ market and enjoy the true taste of summer!

Step 9. Travel

You don’t need to spend a ton of money, have months of planning, or overthink getting in the car and traveling somewhere. Whether you decide to take a simple day trip with friends to a charming little town or jump onto a spontaneous plane ride to an exotic beach, traveling is definitely a worthwhile experience. Lazy girl summer activities can include driving down the road to the closest KOA for a relaxing weekend camping trip or taking a week to explore new sights and adventures with your best gal pal. Don’t overthink it—just embrace the adventure! Pack your capsule wardrobe, ample water, snacks, and some cash for spontaneous stops. Double-check that your tires are properly inflated and your gas tank is full, and then hit the road. Remember, sometimes the best memories come from unexpected journeys!

Tip 10. Dance like no One’s Watching

Close your curtains, or leave them open if you’re not shy, and turn up your favorite dance mix to create the perfect vibe. Let the music fill the room as you dance until your little hearts are happy. Dancing definitely makes the list of lazy girl activities because you don’t need to go to the club to enjoy it; you can turn your living room, backyard, or even kitchen into a dance floor! Summer is a time to sweat, to loosen up, and to truly embrace the moment, letting yourself feel joy and freedom. With the warm sun on your skin and the sound of your favorite tunes in the air, dancing and summer totally go hand in hand, creating a liberating experience that lifts your spirits and brings a smile to your face. So, whether you’re busting out the latest moves or just swaying to the beat, let go and enjoy every minute of it!

Tip 11. Sipping Cocktails or Mocktails

Tipping back something refreshing in the heat of summer is my version of paradise. You don’t have to drink alcohol if that’s not your thing to enjoy a good, refreshing drink. I enjoy a white wine, a spritzer, a mimosa beer or hard iced tea on a hot day. But, I don’t drink all the time and it’s not the only tasty beverage out there that puts the taste in summer. You can almost always ask for a drink to be alcohol free (mocktail). This lazy girl activity can be enjoyed solo while sitting on your front porch, or with a friend at a quaint little bistro. Cheers!

Tip 12. Keep your social circle smaller

If you’re looking to simplify your life this summer, reduce unnecessary stress, and relax, consider sticking to smaller social circles. Embracing a “lazy-girl” approach means avoiding over-planning and not over-inviting guests. When you invite or agree to attend a party with 20 or more people, it’s nearly impossible to ensure that each guest has what they need, let alone have time to enjoy the festivities yourself. To truly embrace a laid-back summer, focus on smaller gatherings with just a friend or two instead of larger events.

Final tip 13. Summer Date Nights

Making time for just you and your partner is essential this summer. Amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life, carving out moments for each other can strengthen your bond. There’s nothing sweeter than taking a leisurely walk together, whether it’s along the sandy beach, where the waves kiss your feet, or meandering through the quiet streets of your neighborhood, enjoying the sights and sounds of summer.

Consider planning dinner dates, whether it’s dining out at a cozy restaurant with al fresco seating or cooking a romantic meal together at home, complete with candles and your favorite playlist. Don’t forget to indulge in coffee at a charming bistro, where you can linger over your cups and engage in deep conversation. You might even enjoy breakfast together at the park, savoring the fresh air, or treating yourselves to a leisurely Sunday brunch with fresh fruit and pastries.

Remember, you don’t need to spend a lot of time or money to create a memorable date. Sometimes, the simplest moments spent together can be the most meaningful. Embrace spontaneity and find joy in each other’s company—there’s no need for a special occasion to celebrate your love!

That’s a wrap. I hop you have enjoyed this article about 13 Lazy Girl Summer Activities to Try Now. We will be seeing you next time.

April 3, 2025

Have you ever thought about what it means to “glow up”? If you’re not familiar with the term, don’t fret—I was once in the same position. When I first encountered the phrase, I had no clue what it signified, but I was eager to discover more about it and undergo this coveted transformation. And here we are: Spring Glow Up!

At some point in their lives, every woman yearns for a glow up—even if you’re just now learning about it. Throughout your adult years, you may have considered getting a makeover, indulging in a spa day, trying out a new wardrobe, or enhancing your physical and mental wellness in some manner.

This, my friend, is what people refer to as a GLOW UP.

Sounds exciting, doesn’t it?

In this article, Spring Glow Up, we will explore several actions you can take—and should start implementing right away—to achieve a revitalized and enhanced version of yourself.

Take greens supplement & collagen supplement

Coffee Time

Not going to lie. Sometimes I have to have my coffee first thing before anything else. Though I really do try to have my hot lemon water, oil and lemon, and have coffee alongside my breakfast. Sometimes coffee is the only reason I get out of bed. So if you are like me, you can always swap the order of your morning routine or simply swap when you have your matcha and coffee. More often than not, I will have my matcha later in the day between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.

I will not mess with another woman’s coffee ritual. I understand that everyone likes there coffee a different way and at different times. The important thing is that you are enjoying your coffee and reaping the benefits of smoother digestion, a higher metabolism, and healthy antioxidants. Limit your overall caffeine intake to under 200 milligrams a day. I personally aim for 10-16 ounces of coffee each day.

Breakfast

breakfast is an important meal to start your day. Make sure you are eating enough to get you through the day. You should eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a queen, and dinner like a popper. Eating a bigger breakfast early on will help you burn food for energy and ensure you are keeping extra calories around by the end of the day. A breakfast filled with healthy fats will power your brain, prime your liver and ensure a positive attitude. Try eating an egg with your breakfast is idea as it encourages healthy hormones and brain function.

Over all, aim to eat plenty of healthy fats, lots of fruits and vegetables and steer clear of processed foods full of chemicals. Eat as close to the farm as possible.

Spring Glow Up tip: Brush and Whiten Your Teeth

A glow-up isn’t complete without focusing on your smile, as it’s one of the first things people notice. Whitening your teeth can significantly enhance your appearance and boost your confidence, giving you that dramatic change you may be seeking.

Straightening your teeth also improves aesthetics and promotes better oral hygiene, making them easier to clean and reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease.

Regular dental check-ups and cleanings are essential for maintaining your overall health. They help prevent issues before they arise and ensure your teeth and gums stay in great condition. Investing in your dental care will lead to a stunning, confident smile that enhances your overall glow-up!

Discover Your Best Scent (perfume)

Never underestimate the power of scent. Your fragrance can serve as a personal calling card. Scents are strongly connected to memories, people, and places, so when choosing the right perfume for yourself, it’s important that it reflects your personality. Take your time and be selective; not all scents work for everyone due to individual factors such as our natural pH balance, hormones, and even elements like laundry detergent, face wash, and shampoo.

Consider how you want to feel every time you wear your perfume. Do you prefer floral scents, like rose or sweet pea, or do you lean towards earthy tones, such as sandalwood or sea salt? Choose a fragrance that is calming, energizing, or soothing, as the last thing you want is to feel nauseous or trigger a migraine.

For those reasons, take your time and try to go for something made from natural ingredients or essential oils. Your body does not need to be covered in chemicals.

Spring Glow Up tip: Create Goals!

Getting through life without some type of goal or plan can be a plan for disaster unless your goal is not to have a plan, but isn’t that still some type of plan?

Anyway…

Having goals can help ensure that you are making the most out of your life and that you are fitting in time to do and try everything that you want to. These goals can be as simple as learning a new skill, making head of department, graduating with a masters degree, or getting married and having kids. Regardless of how you wish to love your life, having a plan or goal board is part of this spring glow up. Of course you are welcome to create “the life plan” or you can think much smaller and think seasonally. Example; for this spring I have chosen to learn to ride horses and learn how to sew. I hope to blog more, work with my novel editor more, and be more present in my children’s lives.

Take a look at this example and have fun creating your own goals!

Drink Water and Stay Hydrated!

The doctor emphasizes its importance, your mother probably reminds you, and your best friend constantly tells you: drink your water! It’s crucial to aim for about 90 ounces every single day to stay properly hydrated.

One effective way to ensure you’re meeting your hydration goals is by staying active. Physical activity not only boosts your overall health but also increases your thirst, making it easier to drink water. When you engage in exercise—whether it’s a brisk walk, a fun workout, or playing your favorite sports—you’re more likely to crave refreshing hydration.

In addition to plain water, you can incorporate other hydrating options into your routine. Drinking hot lemon water in the morning can kick-start your day, while daily greens and reds superfoods offer vital nutrients and hydration. Adding collagen powders to your smoothies or baked goods can also help support your skin and joint health, while sipping on herbal teas throughout the day provides a flavorful way to increase your fluid intake.

Spring Glow Up tip: 10K daily steps

I’m not sure who started the 10k steps a day challenge, or why exactly 10k. However, I know that it’s a great goal to have and not entirely unachievable so long as you keep active and constantly moving throughout the day. Just for the heck of it, I bought a smart watch that pairs with my android phone just to keep track of how many steps I do in a day. I knew I was walking a lot, but walking 18-19k steps a day? Insane!

I tell you this to motivate you. Even though 10k steps seems like a really big number, as long as you are active and moving about all day, it is easier than you think to obtain.

Walking is one of those things everybody should be doing. This simple low impact exercise has proven to benefit your overall health and wellness and help a person to live a longer, healthier active lifestyle. Aim to walk outdoors for at least 30 minutes each day as s minimum.

Read for 40 minutes every day!

For this spring glow-up, we are becoming avid readers. Whether you choose to read to learn or for fun, both options are great! Reading has numerous benefits that extend beyond just school-aged children. Reading more frequently can improve your vocabulary, enhance cognitive function, boost memory, and develop creative thinking skills. Additionally, reading helps to reduce stress.

So, why is reading an important part of this glow-up? Interesting people have engaging things to talk about, whether it’s the latest true crime bestseller, a nonfiction book on a topic of your choice, or a fun fictional story that you can’t wait to discuss.

Your spring glow-up will encompass more than just your outward appearance. We are focusing on enhancing your overall presence in the world. When you feel beautiful, smart, healthy, and well-read, you become more balanced and knowledgeable. All of these qualities contribute to a more empowered you.

Learn a New Skill

Just as reading every day contributes significantly to your personal goals and enhances your overall well-being, embracing the opportunity to learn a new skill this spring can have a profoundly positive impact on various aspects of your life. Spring is a season of renewal and growth, making it the perfect time to invest in personal development. Whether it’s enrolling in a cooking class to master culinary techniques, diving into photography to capture the beauty around you, or learning a new language to broaden your horizons, the possibilities are endless.

There’s truly no better moment than now to take the initiative—consider booking a class online, reaching out to a friend who shares a hobby, or even diving into online tutorials. Engaging with others who are passionate about a similar interest can provide both motivation and a sense of community. Life itself is a precious gift, and part of the journey of growing up involves embracing new challenges and continuously enhancing your skills and knowledge.

By dedicating time and effort to discover and learn new things, you not only enrich your own life but may also inspire those around you. As you expand your expertise, you’ll find that your confidence grows, opening doors to new opportunities and experiences. Remember, the journey of learning never truly ends as long as you remain curious and committed to personal growth. So harness the energy of this vibrant season, and take that first step towards something new today!

Eat the Rainbow

Embrace a vibrant and colorful diet, ladies. I’m not referring to a certain candy, but rather to a diverse array of fruits and vegetables that can enhance your health and well-being. Aim to include at least three different types of vegetables with every meal; this not only adds variety but also ensures you get a wide range of essential nutrients.

For breakfast, consider incorporating fruits such as berries, bananas, or citrus to kickstart your day with energy and vital vitamins. You can add fruit to yogurt, blend it into smoothies, or enjoy it on its own.

As a dessert option, opt for fresh fruit instead of processed sweets. Try a fruit salad, baked apples with cinnamon, or a refreshing sorbet made from pureed fruit. By making these simple choices, you’ll not only improve your meals but also enjoy the health benefits of eating the rainbow!Embrace a colorful diet, ladies. I’m not referring to a certain candy, but rather to a diverse array of fruits and vegetables. Aim to include three different types of vegetables with every meal. Have fruit for breakfast and also as dessert.

Take Supplements

Incorporate your daily supplements into your routine, as they can have a profound and positive impact on both your health and appearance. Consider including collagen supplements, which are known to support skin elasticity and joint health. Collagen helps to maintain the structural integrity of your skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, while also promoting stronger joints and connective tissues, which is especially beneficial as you age.

In addition to collagen, think about integrating daily greens or reds into your diet. These powdered supplements are rich in essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants derived from a variety of fruits and vegetables. They can help bridge the gap if you’re not consuming the recommended servings of produce daily, boosting your immune system and supporting overall wellness. Ingredients like spinach, kale, and spirulina are packed with nutrients that can enhance energy levels, improve digestion, and promote clearer skin.

Another important supplement to consider is digestive enzymes. These enzymes play a critical role in breaking down food, making nutrients more accessible for absorption. By improving your digestion, digestive enzymes can help alleviate bloating or discomfort after meals, allowing you to feel more energized and comfortable throughout your day. This increased efficiency in digestion can also enhance your overall metabolic function.

By making these supplements a regular part of your diet, you can enhance your vitality, radiance, and overall well-being. Remember that consistency is key—over time, you may find that not only do you feel more energized, but your skin looks healthier, your joints feel more comfortable, and your general wellness improves. Always consult with a healthcare provider before starting new supplements to ensure they align with your health needs and goals.

Every woman, at some point in her life, wants to experience a glow up; even if you’re only now discovering the concept. Throughout your adulthood, you have likely thought about having a makeover, enjoying a spa day, finding a new style, or improving your physical and mental well-being in some way.

This, me dear, is what they call a GLOW UP.

Spring Glow Up: Beauty Rest

This tip might seem obvious because we all know that in order to look and feel our best, we need ample sleep at night. Or maybe it’s not so obvious and you haven’t been able to figure out why your skin is dull, your hair is lackluster, and you eat for energy throughout the day…it’s more than likely due to get enough sleep at night.

When you get enough sleep at night your skin and hair will improve, you will wake up feeling refreshed and not already exhausted long before your day has begun, and you will eat more balanced throughout the day.

Aim for 7-10 hours of sleep. Tips to sleep better at night include:

Bedtime bath with relaxing bath salts
calming spa music
bedtime snack high in melatonin. Try this recipe: (1/2 cup oats, 1 cup water, simmer until water absorbed. Add pitted dark cherries, 1/2 banana sliced, 1/2 cup of milk) The melatonin from the dark cherries mixed with the filling, slow releasing carb from the oats, the potassium from the banana and the calcium from the dairy, will help get your body into a comfortable, tired, and relaxed state. Just make sure it’s a full 12 hours before you eat breakfast in the morning from the time you eat your bedtime concoction.
Dim the lights
Get off ALL electronics 2 hours before bed
Try sleepy time tea or chamomile
Massage yourself all over with body oil or lotion (this relaxes your muscles)
Have sex

Morning Sunrise With Hot Lemon Water

Going to bed early leads to waking up early. Studies have shown that people who go to bed early and wake up early tend to be healthier and happier. Additionally, research indicates that witnessing the sunrise each morning and the sunset each evening contributes to a sense of balance and accomplishment. This daily ritual provides a feeling of closure for the day, which can lead to greater success in life.

For our morning ritual, we will watch the sunrise while sipping hot lemon water. We wake up early to enjoy this beautiful sight, which has many benefits as previously explained. Drinking hot lemon water first thing in the morning improves gut health, leading to clearer skin. When our digestive system is functioning well, our entire body begins to heal, benefiting our skin, hair, metabolism, energy levels, thyroid health, physical performance, mental clarity, as well as liver and kidney function. The benefits are extensive! Whether you believe in these effects or not, there’s really no downside to drinking hot lemon water. What do you have to lose?

Spring Glow Up: Pelvic, Hip & Lower Back Massage

Giving your body a quick warm up first thing in the morning will help to awaken your body, loosen your hips and pelvic area and prime your lower back for the day ahead. As women, we carry so much tension in our hips that it can hold toxins and stress, and when you work at loosening and stretch this area, you help release toxins, aid in stress reduction, and strengthen your body.

What to do: Sit on a yoga ball and rock your body side to side, back and forth. Partake in a gentle morning yoga stretch. Rolling your hips around in circles in your bed before you even get out of it can do the trick.

Morning Yoga

Combing your hip, pelvic, and lower back stretch into your morning routine is a fine idea. I still think your body will benefit from an additional stretch to those areas before your jump into a yoga workout or stretch, but if you are short on time you can absolutely combine the two tips. Make sure you take it easier if it is the first movement your body partakes in for the day. Wake your muscles, joints up slowly by not stressing it out and choosing a gently yoga. There’s lots of time for a more substantial workout later in the day.

Spring Glow up: Lemon Juice and Olive Oil Shots

Olive oil is a well known super food, or rather, super healthy fat, that has been around for ages. When you mix this super food with some freshly squeezed lemon juice and taking it on an empty stomach, you are creating a concoction that will help heal your gut. This combination will help balance the PH balance of your gut, aid in digestion and healthy gut flora, help your body function and perform more smoothly. The lemon adds some more vitamin C to your day as well. Recipe is only a bit of olive oil and a bit of lemon juice. Make sure you are choosing quality olive oil. Look on the label for an oil that comes from one region, (the fewer listed the better). Use organic lemons and opt for fresh squeezed versus from the little yellow bottle.

Spring glow up: Morning Skin Care Routine

Your face is the first thing people see when they walk into a room. It’s also the first part of your body to show the tell-tale signs of aging. Take care of your skin by following a consistent skin care routine. Skin care routine should include the following:

Washing your face with a gentle soap. Followed by a microdermabrasion or exfoliating scrub (3 x a week). Next comes the toner as water and soap deplete our face from natural oils and healthy PH balance and the toner (I like rose water toner) will aid in adding back in what has been depleted. Next, you will moisturize several ways with a standard moisturizer suited for your skin type, followed by something with hyaluronic acid & vitamin C. Moreover, always sunscreen or use enough barrier to help protect your skin from sun damage.

More ways to enhance your skin care journey is by adding in face masks a few times a week. Have you tried going to the spa for a facial once a month or so, getting massages done? Another great way to take care of your face and skin is by doing yoga (gets blood flow going and helps skin and face appear younger). If you are blemish prone or have tricky skin, go to dermatologist regularly. There’s a huge fad right now about going to infrared saunas or using infrared masks with red light therapy for rejuvenating the skin.

Matcha Green Tea

Matcha green tea is so good for you! The really cool thing is, that you don’t need to give up or trade in your daily coffee either as matcha green tea and coffee work well together. The matcha helps take away the coffee’s jittery effects. It’s also full of ECGC, a powerful antioxidant that helps protect cells from damage from free radicals. ECGC also helps to boost the metabolism.

Not only that, but Matcha helps lower bad cholesterol and may help to prevent the risk of heart disease, heart attacks and strokes. L-Theanine found in this super food helps with brain function, improves memory and attention and it also helps aid in relaxation… in a non sleepy way.

For this next step you can combine your drinking your matcha and writing in your journal or reading a book at the same time. for some reason, sipping this green latte helps awaken the brain and allows for your creative side to draw forth. So grab your journal, write down your daily goals, or sit back and read a really good book.

Spring Glow Up: Journaling

A new you starts with making goals and knowing what a new you looks like. When you write it down or create a dream board or goal board, you are manifesting your goals and wishes to the world. When you write it down in your journal you are more likely to accomplish your goals. So take a few minutes while sipping your matcha latte and manifest the “new you” as a result of this spring glow up.

Energize with Music

Now it’s time to fire up that music and get your body in motion. Turning on your favorite playlist will put you in a great mood while you are getting ready for your day. It might even make you move your body and dance a bit. Trying getting ready for the rest of the day while listening, dancing and singing to your favorite songs. Starting your day out in a good mood, feeling energized and happier will do wonders for your glow up.

If time allows it, this is where you’ll fit in your morning workout or gym time. The matcha latte should have revved your engine by now. Exercising on an empty stomach will help shed unwanted body fat and help detox your body. I personally aim for 30 minutes of any kind of exercise, often choosing Pilates, Yoga, Dance, HIIT, and Lifting weights…all done at home.

Shower Ritual

Keep that music turned up while you shower. This is your time to refresh, clean, shave, exfoliate and dry brush your skin. Get into a good routine of keeping cleaned shaved legs free from stubble. Dry brushing will make your skin look and feel smoother, aid in better circulation, and help with lymphatic drainage. Exfoliating will get rid of dead skin that is making your skin look dull and feel bumpy. Find a shower routine that works for you. Don’t forget to use a leave in conditioner a few times a week as well. Lastly, you will moisturize your entire body afterword with lotions or oils.

Choose Outfit From Capsule Wardrobe

This spring glow up will include ways to make your life easier with less stressing over the little things. When you already know which clothing pieces look fabulous on you and you know what pairs well with what, life gets easier. If you missed my article on How to Create the Perfect Capsule Wardrobe, check it out HERE

Here’s a brief glance if you do not have time to check out the article just yet…

A capsule wardrobe is a thoughtfully curated collection of clothing items based on a foundation of staple pieces that can be mixed and matched effortlessly. Typically, a capsule wardrobe takes a minimalistic approach, aiming to have as few but versatile clothing items as possible to maximize outfit options. The beauty of this type of wardrobe is that you can still showcase your style by selectively choosing each piece.

Here are the essentials you’ll need for a spring to summer wardrobe!

*Note: You can swap for different colors to match your unique style, but most capsule wardrobes are done in neutral colors, so everything works together and takes the guesswork out of matching pieces to form an outfit.

The colors I used here and use in my own personal wardrobe are white, off-white, beige, black, light blue, Olive or Sage Green, (check the end of this post for buyable links from Amazon that will have all the basics you need!)

1 white pants jeans
1 basic blue jeans (boyfriend fit with or without holes)
1 relaxed trousers (I like the look of tan or beige)
1 white shorts
1 black shorts
1 tan shorts
1 relaxed-fit linen shorts (olive, beige, khaki, white or black)
skirt
dress
1 button-down striped shirt
1 black linen shirt
1 white short-sleeved shirt (preferably button down)
1 beige camisole
1 white tank top
1 black tank top
plain T-shirt
Jean jacket (or other lightweight jacket)
1 tan sandals
1 black sandal
1 heeled dressy sandals
1 activewear sandals for walking or hiking
sneakers
bathing suit
1 active wear outfit (for the gym or a quick run)
1 wide-brimmed hat
1 baseball cap
1 skinny belt
1 cross-body bag
1 basket bag

Dewy Skin With Natural Looking Makeup

This spring, let’s focus on achieving glowing skin and promoting an overall healthier version of ourselves. Instead of piling on layers of makeup that often mask our true selves, why not embrace a natural makeup look? This approach highlights our uniqueness and helps us achieve that effortless “I just woke up like this” vibe.

Here are a few things you should always do before you apply any makeup. Make sure your face has been exfoliated and is well moisturized. Next, apply a primer. I like a moisturizing primer followed by a CC Cream Or BB cream and primer in one. This helps to smooth the skin and blur imperfections such as acne scare or age spots. After, follow through this list below. Consider using make up that is non toxic and free from harsh chemicals, is vegan and cruelty free. one thing not listed is the use of mascare.

I personally love mascara. I use this one from the Honest Brand found on Amazon: Honest Mascara
Here is the face primer and Cc/BB cream I use from Physician formula found on Amazon
Physician formula Blur
Laura Geller Make Up Kit from Amazon

That’s a wrap. I hope that this article help you to glow up this spring! Until next time…

How to Have a Lazy Girl Summer

March 28, 2025

This article focuses on how to enjoy a lazy girl summer. Some refer to this lifestyle as the soft girl era, quiet living, peaceful living, or simply being a homebody. Or even the, “I don’t give a crap era.” I personally favor the lazy girl summer philosophy.
In this article, we will discuss what it means to have a lazy girl summer and how you can embrace this lifestyle, if only for the summer.

Slowing down can be surprisingly difficult if you’re used to going non-stop. Adapting to a “lazy girl summer” may be more challenging than you expect. That’s why I’ve created this article, which outlines small steps you can take to achieve the relaxing, no-fuss summer of your dreams!

Feel free to use as many or as few of these ideas as you like. This is YOUR summer, and it’s time to embrace and live out the lazy girl summer you deserve.

Don’t bother grabbing a pen and paper, that’s not the lazy girl way ;). Instead, try your best to keep in mind the tips that resonate with you the most, and let what will be, will be.

Lazy Girl Summer Tip #1

There are no rules!

Yes, you heard that right. Tip #1 is that there are no rules this summer. The essence of a lazy girl summer is that you don’t have a strict schedule, rules, or guidelines to follow. (Of course, if you work during the day all summer, you can embrace your lazy girl summer after work. Now might not be the best time to tell your boss that Britt Gal says you don’t have to follow their rules.)

So, what does this “No Rules” tip mean exactly? It means you can forget the restrictions of childhood or the expectations of respectable adulthood if you choose to. For example, if you want to enjoy a cup of coffee with dessert even though it’s right before bedtime, go for it! If you’re craving a mimosa on a Wednesday morning and don’t have to drive to work, treat yourself to a fresh and fruity mimosa. If you want to jump into the swimming pool fully clothed because you’re too lazy to change into your swimsuit, don’t let anyone stop you. Moreover, if you’ve been invited out for a night on the town but would rather stay in your bed with a nice glass of red wine and binge-watch a popular TV series, do what makes you happy!

Another Lazy Girl Summer Tip #2

Eat the foods that don’t require a lot of time, prep, or cooking.

You’re not living a lazy girl summer if you find yourself cooking in the kitchen for most of it. Don’t get me wrong, cooking can be super enjoyable and is way healthier for you than constant take out or fast food. I am not telling you to go out to eat, and I’m definitely not telling you to eat your way through the junk food aisle. Instead, you are going to reach for healthy and flavorful foods that require little to no prep. Some of my favorite foods only require a small about of time to batch create or a little bit of effort initially, but then we are enjoying them for days!

Here are some of my favorite lazy summer dishes and sides:

watermelon (pre-cut or use a melon baller one day and enjoy all week!)
healthy pasta salads (I love creating healthy and colorful variations of a pasta salad. I opt for ones that can be served cold or even heated up for a different experience)
fruit salads (experiment with mixing different fruits together, most don’t even require sugar, but I won’t say no to one mixed with home-made whipping cream … YUM!)
large pitchers of sun tea (We love making green tea, herbal tea, and the standard black tea for iced-tea) Simply place several tea bags in a glass jar, fill with cold filtered water, screw the lid on, and set outside until the desired color/strength of the tea occurs.
Pre-cut meat to throw on the grill (use different marinades for new flavors. Grilling means less dishes to clean).
Pre-cut and pre-washed veggies to throw on the grill
Boiled eggs for quick breakfasts
Ready made yogurts
Chia pudding made ahead of time (put 3 TBPS of chia seed in glass jar, fill with coconut milk and let set over night (sometimes takes a few nights to set if too much liquid. When ready, add in honey or maple syrup, fresh fruit and enjoy!)
dried fruits
Variety of nuts
Pre-made charcuterie boards (we like lunch meat, salami, crackers, cheese, nuts, fruit, pickles, olives, precut veggies)
Variety of Deli meat, salami and cheese for sandwiches
Finger foods such as hot dogs, hamburgers, or crockpot meatballs (try adding pineapple and grape jelly and BBQ sauce to your meatballs in a crock pot and let simmer)

Lazy Girl Summer Tip #3

Go Slow!

One reason you might be attracted to a “lazy girl summer” is your desire to slow down. To achieve this, it’s important to be intentional with your time, pace, and focus on truly relaxing. I understand that if you start work early in the morning, your routine may feel rushed, and that’s completely fine! However, to help slow things down, consider waking up a bit earlier. It might seem counterproductive to our lazy girl goals, but trust me—getting up earlier allows you more time for yourself to enjoy a book, sip your coffee, watch a TV show, or play with your dogs. Plus, it gives you the opportunity to move at a more leisurely pace throughout your day.

If waking up earlier is not an option for you, you can always fulfill your lazy girl dreams by taking it slow on the weekend. In fact, I insist that you do!

Here are a few things you can slow down:

waking up and getting out of bed
morning routine/self care routine
Showers & baths
your daily walk
making or enjoying breakfast seated down
doing your chores
crafting
reading a good book
lounging at the pool
your vacation itinerary
shopping
sitting at the coffee shop or restaurant

Lazy Girl Summer Tip #4

Make time to do the things you love with no guilt!

Doing the things you love with feeling any shame or guilt is key for a successful lazy summer. Maybe you should be folding laundry, but instead you’d rather sit outside before it gets too hot and read your book. Well take it from this mom of four, the laundry will still be there later, so go read while the weather and temperature is perfect!

Let yourself off the hook from your daily routines. All of your chores will still be there after you take a little time doing what you really want to do. Everything will get done. It’s not the end of the World if you fold you laundry at the hottest part of the day or at night right before bed, or maybe not even until the next morning.

Lazy Girl Summer Tip #5

Lounge at the pool!

Is it even summer if you’re not lounging by or in a pool? I don’t think so, but maybe I’m just biased because we wouldn’t survive the hot summer temperatures without it.

There’s something magical about relaxing in or near the pool. It feels like your body and mind finally embrace the season, signaling that it’s time to unwind. Once you’re in the water, floating without a care in the world, time seems to slow down. The warmth of the sun soaks into your skin, and your body relaxes to the point of pure contentment.

To enhance your pool experience, curate a selection of music or simply enjoy the tranquility. Prepare some fruit salad and mix up a refreshing summer cocktail or mocktail.

If you don’t have a pool of your own, gather your supplies, put on your bathing suit, and head to the nearest pool, ocean, or lake. Enjoy the summer vibes wherever you can!

Lazy Summer Girl Tip #6

Create a Capsule Wardrobe!

Just as with preparing food and meal items, creating a capsule wardrobe will take time initially, but once you have curated your perfect summer capsule wardrobe, it will be well worth the energy. The great thing about a summer capsule wardrobe, or any capsule wardrobe, is that once you’ve put the work in, you get to reap the benefits all summer (or year) long!

Creating a capsule wardrobe is part of this lazy summer girl guide because it takes the guess work out of what to wear each day. I have created an entire article on the art of capsule wardrobes HERE, but I’ll still give a quick version of what a capsule wardrobe is …

Here are the essentials you’ll need for a summer wardrobe!

1 white pants jeans
1 basic blue jeans (boyfriend fit with or without holes)
1 relaxed trousers (I like the look of tan or beige)
1 white shorts
1 black shorts
1 tan shorts
1 relaxed-fit linen shorts (olive, beige, khaki, white or black)
skirt
dress
1 button-down striped shirt
1 black linen shirt
1 white short-sleeved shirt (preferably button down)
1 beige camisole
1 white tank top
1 black tank top
plain T-shirt
Jean jacket (or other lightweight jacket)
1 tan sandals
1 black sandal
1 heeled dressy sandals
1 activewear sandals for walking or hiking
sneakers
bathing suit
1 active wear outfit (for the gym or a quick run)
1 wide-brimmed hat
1 baseball cap
1 skinny belt
1 cross-body bag
1 basket bag

Lastly, Lazy Girl Summer Tip #6

Romanticize Summer

Is it even summer if you’re not lounging by or in a pool? I don’t think so, but maybe I’m just biased because we wouldn’t survive the hot summer temperatures without it.

To enhance your pool experience, curate a selection of music or simply enjoy the tranquility. Prepare some fruit salad and mix up a refreshing summer cocktail or mocktail.

If you don’t have a pool of your own, gather your supplies, put on your bathing suit, and head to the nearest pool, ocean, or lake. Enjoy the summer vibes wherever you can!

Capsule Wardrobe Explained

So, what exactly is a capsule wardrobe?

I’m so glad you asked.

Why a capsule wardrobe?

Another great question. This one is easy to answer…

For starters, you can stick to a capsule wardrobe just for vacations, vacation homes, or to keep at your boyfriend’s house as your first capsule wardrobe. But if your goal is to become a minimalist, get rid of the extra stuff and things, and downsize your closet, you can apply all the same guidelines in this post to accomplish this life-altering change. Furthermore, you can use this guideline to downsize your closet, even if you don’t quite reach capsule-sized status.

Essential Pieces

One of the best aspects of creating a capsule wardrobe is that you don’t necessarily need to buy anything new. This is especially true unless you really want to or are missing essential basic pieces, which I will explain shortly.

First, you’ll need to understand the building blocks of this type of wardrobe.

Here are the essentials you’ll need for a summer wardrobe!

1 white pants jeans
1 basic blue jeans (boyfriend fit with or without holes)
1 relaxed trousers (I like the look of tan or beige)
1 white shorts
1 black shorts
1 tan shorts
1 relaxed-fit linen shorts (olive, beige, khaki, white or black)
skirt
dress
1 button-down striped shirt
1 black linen shirt
1 white short-sleeved shirt (preferably button down)
1 beige camisole
1 white tank top
1 black tank top
plain T-shirt
Jean jacket (or other lightweight jacket)
1 tan sandals
1 black sandal
1 heeled dressy sandals
1 activewear sandals for walking or hiking
sneakers
bathing suit
1 active wear outfit (for the gym or a quick run)
1 wide-brimmed hat
1 baseball cap
1 skinny belt
1 cross-body bag
1 basket bag

Gems in Your Own Closet

Again, one of the best aspects of creating a capsule wardrobe is that you don’t necessarily need to buy anything new because you likely have a good number of essential pieces already in stock. To shop your closet and find these essential gem pieces, I recommend investing in a clothing rack similar to one you might use for hang-drying delicate clothing and displaying your capsule items.

Plus, showing your clothing this way can make your bedroom or closet feel like a bougie, sophisticated boutique. Oohlala!

Or, you can open up a suitcase and pretend you are packing for a 7-day vacation. Next, lay the pieces over your bed to get a good picture of what you already have.

Here’s another quick look at the items you are looking for:

1 white pants jeans
1 basic blue jeans (boyfriend fit with or without holes)
1 relaxed trousers (I like the look of tan or beige)
1 white shorts
1 black shorts
1 tan shorts
1 relaxed-fit linen shorts
skirt
dress
1 button-down striped shirt
1 black linen shirt
1 white short-sleeved shirt (preferably button down)
1 beige camisole
1 white tank top
1 black tank top
plain T-shirt
Jean jacket (or other lightweight jacket)
1 tan sandals
1 black sandal
1 heeled dressy sandals
1 activewear sandals for walking or hiking
sneakers
bathing suit
1 wide-brimmed hat
1 baseball cap
1 skinny belt
1 cross-body bag
1 basket bag

How to Piece Together Your Summer Capsule Wardrobe

Once you’ve gathered your essential pieces, you can easily mix and match any separates. For example, I might take my beige shorts and pair them with a button-down shirt or any of my T-shirts. I would choose one of my shoe options, wrap a skinny belt around my waist, and then off I go—just me living my best carefree summer.

Another example would be to wear a sundress with a white button-down shirt over it. Instead of buttoning it all the way down, I would tie it at the narrowest part of my waist, pair it with white sneakers and a straw purse, and I’d be ready for a stroll down the boardwalk or a coffee at the bistro.

I have chosen a neutral color palette for my wardrobe, which means that everything will easily coordinate without clashing. This also simplifies the process of selecting accessories. You can introduce a pop of color and personality with items like scarves (very European, I must say!), jewelry, or by choosing one pair of shoes in your favorite color, such as red or yellow. Additionally, since my wardrobe is mainly composed of neutrals, I enjoy incorporating one standout piece in a color that complements my skin tone, like a flowy red summer dress or an off-white dress adorned with delicate blue flowers.

Example Capsule Wardrobe Outfit Ideas: Trousers

Trousers with white top and lightweight jacket, pair with white sneakers, or sandals with the heels, simple jewelry, and even the wide brimmed hat.

2. White Button Down

White button-down shirt with boyfriend jeans. Pair with any of the shoe choices, and tie the skinny belt around your waist if you’re wishing for a more polished look.

3. Capsule Wardrobe: Short sleeved button down

This time we’re going with the short-sleeved white button-down, and pairing it with a pair of shorts, skinny belt laced through the belt loops, and choosing a sandal. Complete this look with the wide-brimmed hat or a summer hairstyle, and either of the woven purses.

4. Capsule Wardrobe: White Button Down

White button down, jeans or shorts, hat and choice of shoes….pretty simple, right? By this point, you’re getting the hand of it and understand the importance and versatility of a white button down.

5. Blue and White Striped shirt

Here is one of y absolutely favorite summer essentials…the blue and white stripe shirt. It can be in the form of a button down or a t-shirt as shown in the next two examples. Pair it with any bottom you like, I’d opt for the white sneakers myself, and pair with a fun pair of sunglasses, and gold hoop earrings.

6. Capsule Wardrobe: Summer Dress

The summer dress. For some reason, I am SO obsessed to a blue summer dress. It’s so French, country, casual yet put together looking that it lures me right in! If you are not feeling the blue, choose a summer dress in another neutral tone, but opt for breathable fabrics and choose loose or flowy over cinched and clinging.

7. Khaki Shorts

Khaki shorts are such a summer staple. Pair them with any of the shirts, or even your one special pop of color. From hiking to a breezy day at the beach or lounging with the fam, khaki shorts are a must!

8. Linen Shorts

For those dressier summer days and nights, try pairing your linen shorts with a dressier top or even a plain T-shirt, dress it up with a belt, heeled sandals and summer jewelry.

9. Plain T-shirts

You can never go wrong with a plain T-shirt. opt for a neutral in white, black, gray or light blue (yes, light, airy blue counts as a neutral!) Plain T’s are great because they match everything. Dress it up or down as little as you wish. Pair them with any of the summer bottoms and shoes!

10. Basket totes or purses

The basket purse or tote is a great tool to have around while on vacation. When traveling it can carry your cardigans or sweater, beach blanket, and while you are enjoying your vacation activities, it can be used for picnics, collecting flowers or seashells.

11. Linen Shirts

The linen shirt. Like the button-down, a crisp linen shirt is ideal for summer because of its versatility to pair with different bottoms, or over a swimsuit, but also because it is a breathable fabric for those scorching summer days/nights.

12. Heeled Sandal

A heeled sandal is always good to keep around for those dressier occasions. The fun part about wearing your heeled sandals is that this could be your surprise pop of color! Whenever I wear heeled sandals, I make sure I keep a pair of ballet flats in my handbag for “just in case”.

13. Linen or beachy drawstring pants/trousers

Beach trousers…also known as linen drawstring pants. If you’ve never worn pants like this, you’ve been missing out, my beautiful friend. Not only is the fabric breathable, but they are so comfortable, it feels like you’re wearing pajamas! Wear them with a linen shirt, a button down or any of your other capsule shirts. I like to wear mine over a swim suit with a white button down that I leave open.

14. Summer Active Wear

Don’t forget to pack your summer active wear. Even while on vacation, you might end up signing up for a yoga or Tai Chi class, or decide you want to go for a run on the beach.

15. Bathing Suits

You can’t go on summer holiday or vacation without packing your swimsuit. I recommend packing 1 solid, whole swimsuit, and 1 bikini or two piece. If you’re not traveling for summer, still consider adding these two summer essentials to your wardrobe. If you choose a neutral tone, you can pair them with or under your other clothing items.

16. The Jean Short

Classic jean shorts are a must for any hot weather plan. Jean shorts are not just for kids or teenagers, there is a style and cut that can flatter every body type. You can pair a jean short with any of the tops, dress it up or down, wear over your bathing suit and accessorize any way you’d like.

17. Wide Brimmed Hat

It wouldn’t be summer without a wide brimmed hat. It’s perfect to wear while lounging around a pool, working in the garden, or having a picnic with the gals or your lover.
