1. Spring is here!
Spring tries to come and this makes my day! I love waking up with the sun coming through my window, I have a big smile all day when this happens :-)

2. Music
Upload my iPod with new, sweet, exciting music. My favourites are Athena, Norah Jones, Corinne Bailey Rae, Ray La Montagne. But best of all the minute I open my eyes, I draw open my curtains, open the window while my absolute favourite “Feeling good” by Nina Simone plays over the singing of the birds…ohhh bliss!

3. Cocktails
Now I don’t know about you but I have missed the warm nights out with my girlfriends wearing beautiful clothes, going out, and drinking cocktails while we laugh and enjoy life. My favourite places to do this here in Glasgow is the Champagne Bar at the Corinthian Club and the Gardens of Hotel De Vin.
4. Dressing down and staying in
Nothing makes you feel better than taking care of yourself. Sometimes being busy in our everyday life we forget to try to look gorgeous, prioritising unfortunately other things rather than ourselves. Looking great though, makes you feel great too! And this philosophy matches my moto: “If you are going to do anything, either do it in style or do not do it at all”!

5. Spa day
Create your own calming environment with simple tricks that can really change your day! Put on some calming music and a face mask, light some candles and soak yourself in bathtub full of waterlilies! This is what I have done to create a spa atmosphere in my place so please feel free to be inspired! Waterlilies can be found in any garden centre that sells “accessories” for fish ponts. I got mine at Dobbies, Glasgow.

6. Smelling wonderful
After you have indulged yourself in your spa bathtub make sure that you moisturize with the most inspiring beautiful body cream you can lay your fingers in. I love floral scents with a hint of tropical spices but I know that this is a very individualised area. Yet I highly recommend that you should try to sample the “Polynesia Monoi Body Balm“. From perfumes, I love the range of Kenzo perfumes, SJP Lovely, Armani Code and I used to not be able to go anywhere without the Roberto Cavalli “Her” however it is to my despair discontinued :-(((
So whatever you do, remember to put on your best attitude and mood, treat the day as it is the happiest, most positive, and most bright day in the world and spread that mood that comes from within to everyone and everything that you come in contact with! Have fun!
