How to Kick Off the Week with Chaotic Cheer & Bewildering Bliss
Let’s be honest—Mondays have been framed as the cranky hallway monitor of the week, and quite frankly, I am not here for that energy. I’m here for the delightful derailment of ordinary living.
Here’s how to turn a Monday from “meh” to magnificent:
1. Start with an Outrageous Ritual
Forget the to-do list for just a moment and make the first thing you do something wildly unnecessary but deeply delightful. Maybe it’s lighting a candle that smells like cake, bubble baths at sunrise, or using a soap so indulgent that your shower feels like a royal coronation.
2. Claim a Joy-Only Moment
Block out a time that is sacred for silliness or serenity. Ten minutes with a favorite song, a slow cup of tea, or simply staring at the ceiling while daydreaming about owning a dragon.
3. Accessorize Your Mood
The right scent, shimmer, or silky texture can transform your entire vibe. Think of it as emotional armor—except instead of armor, it’s whipped body butter that makes you feel like you run a glamorous underground moon cult.
4. Invite the Absurd
Because sometimes the very best way to make life better is to let in a little nonsense. Wear something sparkly for no reason. Mix fragrances until you smell like a carnival’s mysterious fortune-teller.
5. Repeat Without Shame
There is no rule that says joy is a weekend-only affair. If anyone raises an eyebrow, tell them you’ve been granted a license in Bewildering Bliss.
Remember: You are the orchestrator of your own magic. And if you need more props for your daily enchantments, my shelves are stocked with little luxuries that will help you keep that sparkle rolling all week long.
