22 EASY Ways To Cheer Up Your Home

  1. A bowl of citrus fruit for a pop of color! I’ve been keeping a large bowl of lemons, oranges and limes handy to make flavored water, this margarita recipe and add a fresh squeeze of zest to salads and meals. Keeping it out in the open is a friendly reminder to actually use them! Whether you place it on the kitchen counter, island, dining room or coffee table – it adds so much cheer to your home!
  2. Style your closet.
  3. Baby Foot. Trust me.
  4. Actually read your coffee table books.
  5. Write thank you notes. Using these pens.
  6. Put out the patio furniture.
  7. Get a new day dress. My Baybala dress is actually designed with moms in mind! Comfy enough to run after your children and chic enough to meet dad out for a cocktail. Or on the couch 😉 Elastic band, nursing friendly button on top, pockets and easy to wash. This brand is a dream and the same brand as Penelope’s first birthday party dress!
  8. Find a new scent.
  9. Save a summer of weeding and Preen your yard.
  10. Take a luxurious shower: use a fresh towel, new bar of soap, a sharp razor, lotion, exfoliate, face mask, finally remove your nail polish, the works!
  11. If you’re washing your hands, might as well use the good stuff.
  12. Order a magazine subscription.
  13. Grow out your lashes. This stuff is legit.
  14. Spruce up your entry way. Unclutter and remove your winter coats and shoes.
  15. Elevate your bathroom with new towels. We just got these!
  16. Clean out your makeup bag and wash your brushes.
  17. Rearrange your bookshelves. Just did this virtually with MMDH Studio and can’t wait to share Melissa’s profound yet practical tips!
  18. Life changing. Order new undies and ditch the rest! My friend recommended this affordable brand (lots of Hanky Panky dupes) and I went nuts.
  19. Make your bed the proper way.
  20. Put a spin on this weekend’s mimosa.
  21. Finally get ahead of your laundry.
