Simple Things

In this day and age prices are astronomical and the economy isn't exactly up to par. My grandmother is always talking about when bread use to cost 10 cents. I bring this up because for those of you who are wanting to dedicate yourselves to the princess lifestyle, you may be worried about not being able to afford it. This is a common misconception and perfectly understandable. Princesses are often portrayed as spoiled, wealthy, and lavished.
Have no fear friends, you do not need money to live like a princess just an open mind.

1. Collect flowers and decorate your room. When your flowers are about 3 days old, press them and keep them in a scrap book. Your book could become your mobile garden.

2. Adorn your clothes with beads or faux jewelry. Glue rhinestones to your shoes and wear a beautiful brooch. Simple adjustments to your wardrobe can give you the more noble feel without costing too much.

3. Go for a walk, taking the time to relax and clear your mind can help you feel cleansed and is good for your health too!

4. Treat yourself to your favourite fruit.

5. Watch a movie or read a book, have some time to do nothing but breath.

6. Blow bubbles. Bubbles are so beautiful and can give you a sense of whimsy.

7. Have time for your hobby, sew, write, draw, sculpt, build cars, anything. Just take the time to do it.

8. Read by candle light or do everything by candle light. Candles have a marvelous way of setting the mood whether it be romantic or classic. It can make you feel like you are in a whole other world.

9. Start a dream diary.

10. Have tea time, if you do not like tea then serve your favourite drink(s) in tea cups! It will make you feel more regal and elegant.

( More to come~ )

There are so many other ways to enjoy simple pleasures. Come up with your own and make them into a routine, do something to help yourself relax and enjoy life. You have every right to.

I stress this because so many people let life get the better of them. Of course there are those times when you are overpowered, but when it is over, will you take the time to pick yourself up again? This is my concern. Princesses, princes, everyone of every kind, please listen to your body and to yourself.

Take a little time and enjoy the simple things. You may not realize it now, but those things help you and keep you steady. Like ventilation only a lot more graceful. I wish the best for all of you.
