My Thoughts 

While these suggestions start on January 1, you can pick this up whenever, and flip to whatever one most appeals. 

We should do the little things to bring about more happiness. Many of these called for spending money and I'm not a giant fan of life in a society that has referred to its citizens as consumers and had hoped for more thoughtful suggestions as well as mindfulness. 

(((If Harper Celebrate put out a book on romanticizing one's life in a mindful way that encourages gratitude and being open to observing beauty and in things that don't add to junk consumerism, etc., I would definitely be interested.)))

While I love the illustrations and the  concept of Romanticize Your Life, I ultimately found that the content was not to my preferences. 

Thank you to Harper Celebrate and NetGalley for the DRC

• Rearrange the furniture in your bedroom to create an entirely new vibe.
• Wake up earlier than usual and enjoy your morning coffee with the sunrise.
• Take yourself on a solo date to a movie. (Yes, you would like popcorn, thank you!)

• And so much more!
