Finding Your Own Happy Place

Treat yourself to a fun coffee or tea after a long week or check out a new coffee shop on a Saturday morning (my new favorite in Chicago is Limitless Coffee)

Light some candles, grab your favorite blanket, pour yourself a glass of wine, and get lost in a good book

Treat yourself to a manicure and pedicure

Host a happy hour at home and try out a fun cocktail recipe 

Go to a yoga class (If you live in Chicago, there's tons of free yoga or even yoga on the beach!)

Visit a cute flower shop and get some flowers to freshen up your home

Plan a happy hour with your friends

Make some popcorn and watch your favorite movie

Find a new recipe on Pinterest and cook a fun dinner for someone you love

Relax with a cuppa tea or glass of wine and put on some Jazz music

Go to a movie (I find independent movies are the best, they are very inspiring)

Leave a love note for your significant other 

Go shopping and treat yourself to a little something

Take a drive and explore somewhere new

Plan a date night at a new restaurant you've been wanting to try

Try a new workout class

Go for a long walk with a friends or your significant other

Light some candles, play some music, and take a relaxing bath

Journal your thoughts and ideas

Take your dog to the dog park, dog beach, or even a patio

Send a friend you haven't seen in awhile a card or little package to let know you are thinking of them

Play your favorite music and dance

Create a bucket list or start planning a trip

Treat yourself to a facial or give yourself a facial

Most importantly, remember all the good things and people you have around you
