How To Romanticize Your Life!

Written by Jazlen Patrick. Published: August 23 2022

 

We all know that self-care is super important. Prioritizing yourself and your needs will always be the way to go. Now, there's a new take on self-care that’s got everybody appreciating the finer things in life.

 

All over TikTok and YouTube, we see our favorite influencers showing their take on how they romanticize their life. What is that, you ask? Romanticizing life is glamorizing the little things that you do on a day-to-day basis in the most aesthetically-pleasing way. It's about taking the extra time to enjoy life even in the simplest of ways.

 

Here’s an example!

 

Let’s take a look at some other ways we can romanticize our daily lives. The beginning of your day sets the tone for the rest of your day, so it’s important to get your morning started right!

 

Get Completely Dressed For The Day

Whether you have plans or not, getting up and getting dressed at the beginning of your day sets you up to be productive and ready for whatever the day brings you. It can be as dressy or as casual as you would like, but make it something you would want to go out into public in. Anything besides your pajamas. And if you're feeling extra glamorous, you can even do your make-up!

 

Make an Aesthetic Breakfast

Taking the time out to make a breakfast that you may not think to make everyday can be one of the best (and yummiest) ways to romanticize your life! Waffles, pancakes, french toast, bacon, eggs, or anything else that takes a little extra time would be a perfect way to continue your morning. You don’t have to be a chef to make something that looks great! A yogurt parfait or oatmeal with some colorful fruits will work too.

 

Now, let’s get into some activities that’ll definitely make you feel like the main character you are!

 

Read a Book While Sitting By The Pool

It’s technically still Summertime! Instead of reading a book in your room, take advantage of the last bits of warm sun and sit outside and read instead. The sound of the wind and water behind you is bound to give you the relaxing feeling you're looking for.

 

Go Out For Lunch At a Cute Cafe

One of the most aesthetic places you can go to is a local cafe. These cute little shops and bakeries will give you all of the vibes and aesthetically pleasing Insta photos you are looking for. Take a seat, have lunch, enjoy the scenery, and live in the moment.

 

Sit Outside and Watch The Sunset

Back outside we go! This time, we’re going to take a load off and admire the sunset. Want to make it even better? Grab your car (or your parents' car) and enjoy the sunset with front row seats. Remember, it’s all about enjoying life’s smallest moments, and the views here are amazing! 

 

Turn on Your Music and Dance Alone in Your Room

This classic movie scene will make you feel nothing less than a star. Jump on your bed, grab your favorite hair brush microphone, blast your favorite songs right now, and dance like nobody's watching!

 

Just because the day is over doesn’t mean your movie is!

 

Light Candles While Taking a Bath

Instead of taking a quick shower, try making a nice candle-lit bath. To make it even more extra, you can add some rose-petals and a bath bomb. This simple adjustment to your night routine will make you feel like you're in a true fairytale.

 

Wear Matching Pajama Sets

You may be going to sleep for the night, but that doesn’t mean this can’t be romanticized too! Instead of wearing an old Summer camp T-shirt to sleep (even though these are extremely comfortable to sleep in for some reason), try wearing a cute matching pajama set. And to take it to the next level, wear silk pajamas! Nothing says romance like silk.

 

It may sound crazy, but we can’t let life pass us bye. Your life is a movie, and you’re the main character -- it’s time to start acting like it!
