Have a happy monday

Ah, the joys of monday ! After a sunny week-end, waking up to a rainy and cold monday morning isn't always the best mood booster. Let's be honest, we all hate it. Monday is the back to school/work - day, waking up painfully early - day, the day after a week-end of fun and partying, the day you finally start again that diet you somehow forgot to follow during the week-end... Basically, it's a back to reality and routine-day for each and every one of us, in different ways.

But why do we keep being so negative about it? I feel like we are making this day even worse with our own attitudes. Hey, cheer up! We all know this day sucks, so why not try to make it a bit less horrible by doing something you WANT, something you LIKE? It can be anything. Craving for that chocolate bar? Eat it. Screw the diet. Need a break? Take it. Your health (physical health, but mental health as well!) is more important than any work. Take a warm bath, drink tea, chill out. Think about it: when you'll be 80, will you be regretting the times you actually were nice to yourself? I don't think so. I know, life isn't about always doing whatever makes you happy, but we need a bit of it too, in moderation.

This is your official certificate which allows you to treat yourself somehow. Set yourself the goal of doing at least one thing you like every monday. Yup, i'm overwhelmed with optimism and positivity today!

So, here is a review of what I did to cheer up my monday.

1. On my lazy days (which represent 6 days a week) i tend to wear just jogging pants and a sweater - seriously, every time i know i won't see anyone except maybe my family i dress like a potato ! But today I decided to dress nicely for myself. I feel confident and pretty in these clothes (well, except my white socks but who cares), a good booster for the day. Okay, sorry for the mirror selfie, this is so lame! :')
Hoodie: H&M, pants: H&M, shoes: Superga, hat: Drop Dead, tee: Zara (got this from my lovely soul sister Florence).
2. Some of my favorite flavors are peanut butter and Oreos. So I decided to mix them and make some lovely peanut butter & Oreo cupcakes/brownies, don't really know how to name them! This is a pic of the work in progress.

3. I love love love sitting down with a cup of coffee and a great book. This is a true story about a fifteen year-old drug addict. It's really sad and shocking but really interesting!

4. One of the delicious Oreo-peanut butter-brownie-cupcakes i made and devoured today!

Those were the little things that made me happy today. What are yours?
