Romanticize Your Life—One Errand at a Time
Because it's the small things that lead to big outcomes.
This week, I want to remind you of the magic in everyday moments.
One of the easiest ways to romanticize your life—and feel like the main character—is to put just a little extra love into how you show up… even when you’re just running errands.
Let me tell you, I’ve had more unexpected run-ins than I can count. From bumping into my son’s teacher in the paint aisle at Home Depot to getting recognized by someone from social media while wearing a headscarf and my well-loved Howard University T-shirt—I’ve learned the power of being prepared, but make it cute.
And no, I don’t mean stepping out in a full face of glam and a ball gown. I’m talking about simple upgrades:
A colorful headwrap
A swipe of lip gloss
Gold hoops that say “Yes, I did this on purpose”
A touch of mascara to brighten the eyes
These little details are acts of self-care and self-love. They say, I care about me—even when no one’s watching. You’re not dressing up for others; you’re showing up for yourself.
Romanticizing your life isn’t about luxury—it’s about presence. It’s about finding beauty in the ordinary, joy in the small moments, and confidence in who you are right now.
So next time you’re heading out to grab oat milk, throw on those earrings, tie that wrap with intention, and walk like your favorite song is playing in the background.
Because this moment counts too
