Life is all kinds of colorful and mysterious, but there’s always more you can do to spice things up for yourself. Check out these 30 classy ways to romanticize your life, and say hello to a classier version of yourself (without going broke.)
I’ve never been a trendy girl, but lately, I’ve been loving catching up with all the hot topics in the wellness community.
After exploring the lifestyle of that girl and giving it my green stamp of approval, I am now busy cooking up ways to romanticize my life.
I wish I’d found this concept five years back when I walking-talking stress ball. My study-obsessed teenage self could’ve used some of the sparkles that come from romanticizing the little things in life.
But never mind that, because whatever point in life you are at, it’s never too late to find your balance by creating love, peace, and happiness for yourself rather than waiting for these beautiful emotions to find you.
Got a sweet second to spare? Pin this post to share the love.

If you’re ready to tune into your inner beauty by enhancing your outer life, read on!
30 Little Ways To Romanticize Your Life
1. Create A Blissful Morning Routine
Create a slow morning routine to wake yourself gently and lovingly.
Journal your morning thoughts, read a mindful book, and do some gentle yoga stretches to loosen up your body.
Step outside for some fresh air and let your mind be calm before kickstarting your day.
2. Convert The Front Of Your Wardrobe Into An Aesthetic Board
Stick pictures, drawings, poems, quotes, and photographs on your board for a cozy appearance.
Keep updating it according to the current phase of your life.
3. Grow flowers In Your Space
Nothing livens up your space like the fragrance and the sight of natural flowers and plants.
You could grow some plants in the backyard, on the balcony, or the windowsill (if you live in an apartment like me).
Tend to them regularly and connect to their vibrant energy to recharge your spirit.
4. Make A Real-Life Pinterest Notebook
Print out pictures from your Pinterest board and bring them to life on the pages of an empty notebook.
Let this be a medium to connect to your inner self.
5. Do Happy Bed Stretching
Stretch in bed in the morning, before bed, or whenever you feel lazy.
Allow a wide smile to take over your face and visualize the tension rolling off your limbs as you stretch.
6. Talk to yourself when you’re alone
Speaking your thoughts out loud is a quirky way to make your mundane tasks more fun (like combing, doing the dishes, and doing laundry).
7. Enhance Your Reading Experience
Read in an airy spot in your house, sip on herbal tea, and play nature sounds in the background to send yourself into a book-induced lavender haze.
8. Make Your Beverages More Special
Use cute glasses and cups, dress up the top layer using chocolate syrup, and place the drink in a mini tray before sitting in a cozy corner to enjoy it.
9. Stop Hiding Your Classy and Expensive Stuff
You’re not doing your everyday life any favors by saving your pristine silverware for a “super special” occasion.
Light those scented candles, use your special bath products more often and lay out your lovely set of bedding to add more beauty to your daily routine.
10. Head To The Park For A Solo Date
Carry a picnic basket stuffed with fruits, sandwiches, juice (or water), and find a quiet spot beneath a tree.
Read, listen to music, or just observe your surroundings as you bask in your own company.
11. Go On Long Drives
Not every ride you take has to be to reach a destination.
Get in your car and drive around to clear your mind of stray thoughts.
If you own a bicycle, ride it into town with your hair open and let your wild spirit out.
12. Keep Your Bed Tidy
Believe it or not, the state of your bedding affects your mind space more than you might think.
Make your bed every morning, keep it crease-free, and change your sheets on the weekend.
13. Make A Wellness Box
A self-made wellness box is a perfect way to lift yourself in your gloomy moments.
Things worth adding – tissues, affirmation cards, dark chocolate, and your favorite self-help book.
14. Wear Your Nice Clothes More Often
Don’t wait for an occasion to pull out that black dress or to use that classy beige sling bag.
Your best clothes from the wardrobe should be the star of your everyday styling process so that you can channel your girl boss mode whenever you want to.
15. Make Cards For Friends and Family
Don your creativity hat and get traditional by making cards for your friends and family on occasions (or even on random days).
Your loved ones will definitely appreciate this sweet gesture.
16. Turn Into An Organized Bee
Some messes are beautiful, but when it comes to your everyday life, staying organized is the key to winning.
17. Make A Self-Care Jar
A DIY self-care jar is a cute way to prioritize your mental health and make everyday self-care more fun.
Add colorful chits with self-care ideas in a jar and put it on your desk.
Pull out chits from it regularly, and act upon the idea to refill your self-care cup.
18. Enhance Your Sleep
Get a humidifier for your nightstand, wear a silky sleeping mask, and tune into a guided sleep meditation to sleep better at night.
19. Create A Self-Care Night Routine
Stick to a night routine that caters to your well-being.
Take a warm shower, put on your comfortable yet cute nightwear, do skincare to pamper your body, and write a journal entry to put your thoughts to bed.
20. Put Up Some Fair Lights
They’re inexpensive and perfect to give your space that picturesque fairyland look.
21. Take Your Instrument Outdoors
There are so many birdies who love jamming to their guitars or ukuleles in the park. Who says you can’t be one of them?
It’s a classic Phoebe Buffay way to romanticize your life.
22. Reconnect To Your Childhood Hobbies
Whatever made your heart sing as a child can still do the same.
Find those old hobbies and introduce them into your life again.
23. Stay Decluttered
No strewn papers, junk, or useless items.
You should be surrounded by things you need, want, and love.
24. Unplug As Often As You Can
Shut down your computer, turn off your phone, and step away from Netflix. Bring your awareness to other mindful activities.

25. Get Regular Haircuts
Normal is good, but change is even better.
I get a new haircut every 3 months (I like to keep them short), and every visit to the salon feels like a major life edit.
It gives me a real thrill and makes me feel gorgeous.
26. Attend A Theatre Show
Go with a friend or fly solo to the Shakespearean era. It doesn’t get more romanticized than this.
27. Make Yourself Feel Beautiful
Put on some sexy loungewear, roll on a shiny lip balm, smile at the mirror, and dance around in your room feeling like a fairy princess.
28. Create DIY Thingies
Photo frames, collages, scrapbooks – the options are endless, and YouTube is your at-home guide for turning into a DIY creator.
29. Buy Yourself Gifts
Step into a gift shop to buy yourself a little present.
Gift shopping is always fun, but doing it for yourself is an endearing display of self-love.
30. Buy Those Accessories That You Shy Away From
I’m talking hats, bracelets, quirky neckpieces – whatever you’ve dreamed of wearing but have been holding back from.
There’s no such thing as too bold.
The time to go all in on your fashion statement is now.
Be The Main Character Of Your Story
