*Cosmo/ Dark Angel’s Feel Happier 20 Little Ways*
I switched it around or added something different for women, who can’t afford those luxuries.
-Dark Angel
1. Sleep in on Saturday with soft or silky sheets, but go a little farther than that and make your room completely dark so the sun can’t wake you or your kids.
2. On Monday morning upgrade your caffeine drinks to something more healthy orange juice or grapefruit juice. Better yet a tall glass of milk because it helps lose wait.
3. Have a dinner party with your friends, once a month, but have your friends pick a theme and let everyone else pick a dish to make for that specific theme. Have your friends take turns thinking of a theme.
4. Plan a min-vacation twice a month and it doesn’t have to be anywhere exotic. For those who don’t have money be creative such as hiking near your parks, picnic at the park with you man, etc. You get the idea.
5. Turn your bathroom into a mini-spa and keep it stock. Happy Dollar Store Shopping!!!!
6. Sunday nights should be a quiet night. Turn off your cell phones, PDA’s home phones, computers, etc. Don’t even up the door and be nonexistence to the world to rejuvenate you before the workweek.
7. During the winter, get flowers that grow all year round to brighten up your house even on the coldest days. Ok, maybe you don’t have money but for a couple of dollars you can get seeds and dirt plus be creative and use a cup or bowl for your plant till you can transfer it.
8. Do something out of the ordinary; Cosmo suggested turning an old date to a weekend date. Brilliant idea, but they didn’t clarify this. When do you do something like this plus what about the kids? Notes *Family and Friends-ask in advance if it’s possible and you might want to do this by your third or fourth date. When you’re even sure about him.
9. Make a play list with high energy music because you may want that energy boost instead of inspirational, no offense Cosmo, but I could careless about being inspirational, that would not put me in a excited or happy mood. I do agree with them about something to relax and unwind after work or school.
10. This is a great idea from them; create a cozy reading area in your room with a nice light lamp, blanket and a table for that hot cocoa, tea or coffee. You should put reading materials near by.
11. Cosmo suggested never go on a date without wearing sassy undies and bra even though he won’t see it, but to give you confidence. I have to put this to the test. I will let you know.
12. Find cute and flattering gym clothes so you want to workout. Better yet workout with a DVD workout but too your music play list it will go by faster plus you would a lot more workouts.
13. Add your name to the mailing list of your favorite stores so they can send you updates, discounts and etc.
14. A glass of wine at the end of a long day is cool but if you don’t drink alcohol use apple juice, grape juice or even tea for substitutions.
15. Make every Saturday a long distance convo with pals and family or invest in a long distance plan with unlimited talk time. So you can call whenever you want. You need to shop around for the best plan to use.
16. Every midweek celebrate with something or someone sweet.
17. Learn to redecorate your house on the down low cheap and comment on here where you got your ideas for other ladies to checkout.
18. Huge plans for Friday night should be completely planned out and the couple of hours before you meet rejuvenate.
19. Before you sleep send a loving text message, by the morning or that same night you may already have a text back to make your night or day go better with a smile.
20. Make dinner for 2 once or twice a week.
