You hate Monday? Make it more enjoyable with these simple tricks ;)

Monday
Today, Beirut is gray, hot and rainy. Blah... I am back to work with a regular schedule (we had a summer schedule for the past two-month). What a gloomy and sad day, right?

Unfortunately, Mondays are meant to repeat themselvesm and nothing is going to change. However, you can change your attitude towards it! 
To do so, I have developed a kind of habits to pamper myself so that I enjoy my Mondays and start the week in a better mood. My boss once told me, "I never pay invoices on Mondays". I like the idea of not doing unpleasant things on Mondays. This is not about procrastinating, but Monday is already bad enough, so why fill it up with a boring and exhausting to-do list?

Instead, try to do this:

Flowers at home just magnify your space. I love these orchids.

• Have a manicure and/or pedicure and keep beautiful nails all week long.
• Go to the SPA. Ok this one is not affordable on a weekly basis but once in a while it can seriously make you feel better
• Get a SPA...at home. If you have a bathtub, make yourself a nice scented bath (Lush Bath Bombs and Bath Melts are lovely), light up some candles and relax, scrub, exfoliate, do a hair and face mask...everything you need to be turned into a princess. You can also do this on Sundays if the end of the weekend gives you anxiety ;)
• If you don't have a bathtub, just stay a little longer in the shower to enjoy it. 
• Put on your favorite lipstick and instantly boost your confidence to start the new week
• You can also put your one of your best outfit. You will feel good about yourself, and time will go by faster until the end of the day.
• Go to your favorite restaurants
• Buy yourself nice flowers.  They are a mood booster and also just a quick reminder that there is beauty in this life.
• Put your favorite movie and enjoy it with your friends, your lover or even alone if your prefer
• etc...

Honestly the list can goes on and on. In a word, PAMPER YOURSELF and make, buy, do anything that you particularly enjoy or that makes you happy. It can be as simple as getting exceptionally your favorite croissant for breakfast or relax at home with a good book and scented candles. 

I had a Thai Massage today... amazing way to start the new week...and month!

Have a nice week and say hello to September :)
