5 Ways To Make Today The Best Day

5 Ways To Make Today The Best Day

There are some days, where you are just feeling yourself. Wether its your #OOTD, or if your hair is on point, there are just some days where you feel more attractive, more confident, and all around more bad ass than usual. Here is a list of things you can do to make every single day a great day.

1. Make a playlist.

I have a playlist comprised of basically every feel good, laugh out loud, dance your butt off song you can think of, from “Perfect Day” ("Legally Blonde" opening credits) to "Roses" by the Chainsmokers and "Candy Shop" by 50 Cent. Songs that make you wanna get up, or get down. You can blast this while you get ready for your day or while you’re confidently boppin’ to class! These fun songs will put a little extra pep in your step, and may actually make you strut a little bit. If you're listening to music you like, that makes you happy are they are sure to put a smile on your face -- which brings me to number two.

2. Smile!

Even if you anticipate having a really long and tough day, smile. Your facial expressions can send messages to your brain to reduce cortisol levels (the chemical that makes you stress). Smiling also makes you feel more confident, and even if you aren't having the best hair day people will still take notice of you (in the good way, I swear).

3. Wake up 20 minutes earlier.

I know, it sounds like this would totally make your day worse, right? Wrong! If you wake up 20 minutes earlier, whether it's to enjoy a nice cup of coffee, curl your hair, or just lay in bed and watch one of your favorite episodes of "Friends," these 20 minutes make you less groggy, and (depending on what you do in that time) can totally change the attitude of your day!

4. Laugh at yourself.

Not every day is going to be perfect. You have to laugh at yourself when embarrassing things happen during the day. You accidentally turn a corner and walk right into the cutest boy on the hockey team, and scream in his face? No big deal. Laugh it off! Not letting little things ruin your day will make for a better, happier day and -- if you laugh it off -- you can tell your friends these hilarious stories, not only brightening your own day, but you can make someone else laugh, improving their day as well!

5. Be comfortable.

Wear something you’re comfortable in. You don’t always have to look 100 percent all the time. If you want to wear leggings and your dads old college sweatshirt, that's great, as long as you are comfortable in it. Don’t get me wrong, sometimes it's great to dress up, and if dressing up is something that puts you in a good mood, wear that dress you like! But if it's a Thursday that just feels like a Monday, and you are not feeling your closet, there is nothing wrong with just being comfortable. Being comfortable makes us feel at ease and relaxed, and to me, that sounds like the key to a great day.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
