Be your best self.

Why Don’t You…?

Why Don’t You…?
Carly Jacobs

Buy lots of cheap little original prints from your local artists market? Hang them on a wall using bulldog clips?

Wear voluminous clothes this week? An enormous circle skirt? Leg o’mutton sleeves? 

Eat orange things? Pumpkin soup? Baked sweet potato? Mandarins? Oranges?

Print out your favourite words? In giant font? Stick them to your wall for inspiration?

Serve yourself a single chocolate covered coffee bean with your homemade brew? A tiny bite of nougat? Just like in a cafe?

Take yourself on a solo date? Read a book in a cafe? A movie? Lunch out?

Make a quiche?

Pack lunch for the adults in your house? Send your lover off to work with a homemade sandwich? Pack your housemate a waxed paper wrapped cookie stack?

Spend a full 15 minutes sitting outside? Without distraction? No book? No phone? Just you and nature?

Watch your favourite old movie? Dirty Dancing? Back to the Future? Karate Kid?

    I like the one about sitting outside for a full 15 minutes without bringing anything with me. Especially no phones. Weather permitting, I’m going to try it out this week 🙂

      They are so good! I keep giving myself citrus migraines from over consumption.

    making a sweet potato quiche, then packing it off for the boy’s lunch in nice wrapping. 3 in 1!
