Number 40 is my all time favorite. I often do this in my car. There is something about music that’s just so soothing. Thanks for some fab ideas!
Wonderful list! Thank you.
My favorites —
3, 7, 9, 16 (this is the most natural way to sleep, after all!), 20 (maybe because I did that one here haha)!
I love love this list!!!
Printing this!
I’ve been attempting to compile my own list and lets just say I got stuck around 5 or 6 things.
“6. Send yourself a love letter. Snail mail style. Only luxe stationary will do.” You can also write a letter like that to your mother, father or loved one. I did that recently with my mother and she was so happy. Bringing happiness to others generally brings you happiness too.
“61. Get a juicer already! Start with this stunning combination: carrot, beet, and ginger.” I’m definitely going to try that recipe, I haven’t yet. By the way, what juicer do you use?
