I recently stumbled upon a hilarious YouTube short where a woman was celebrating her 46th birthday by reflecting on what she does “the most” in her life. She humorously listed her top priorities: getting her nails done, hitting the gym, and cooking her own meals to manage her autoimmune disease. It got me thinking, what do I do the most in my life? FINDING JOY IN THE LITTLE THINGS
Turns out, I have quite a few things I go all out for. Here’s a fun rundown of my top “extra” moments:
My skincare routine is definitely where I do the most. I have a regimented process that involves more steps than a dance routine. Cleansing, toning, serums, moisturizers, face masks—you name it, I do it. My bathroom shelf looks like a mini Sephora, and I love every minute of it. If there were an Olympic event for skincare, I’d be going for gold!
2. Daily Walks and Workouts
My daily walk or workout is my mental sanctuary. It’s not just about staying fit; it’s my escape from the hustle and bustle. Whether it’s staying home and hitting the treadmill or going outside to the park or trail, I make sure I sweat it out every day. I try to couple my walk with some strength training a couple days a week to help me with an unwanted friend named Peri! If you know her then you get it, if not, ladies, you’ll meet her eventually.
3. Press-On Nails
Lately, I’ve been doing the most with press-on nails. My daughter and I love the versatility, options, and styles we are able to choose from. Eliminating the worry of polish chipping has been amazing. Every week, I have a new set that matches my mood or the season. My hands have never looked more fabulous! Thanks to Amazon you can get some really good ones on a budget.
4. Experimenting with New Recipes
I’ve really been going all out in the kitchen. For health reasons I’ve looked to increase my palette and thus getting more creative with food. Eating primarily vegetables and fruits has helped me on a daily basis and allow me to feel better. I seem to enjoy food content more than anything as of late. Who knew cooking could be this exciting?
5. Indulging in Lattes
And yes, I absolutely love getting a good latte. There’s something about that creamy, caffeinated goodness that makes my day. A good coffee date with my husband is always top tier for me.
What Do You Do the Most In?
We all have our “extra” moments—those things we pour our hearts and energy into, no matter how over-the-top they might seem. So, what do you do the most in? Is it your shoe collection, makeup routine, tech gadgets, sports, or maybe your love for fashion?
Let’s celebrate the little things that make us uniquely ourselves. Whether it’s indulging in self-care, pursuing a hobby with passion, or simply loving a good latte, embrace what you do the most. Life is too short not to be a little extra!
