As the middle of the year approaches, I find that sometimes those resolutions and the excitement I experienced back in January has worn off. I tend to fall into routines, and maybe even set myself on auto-pilot at times. Sometimes you just need to add some vibrancy back into your life, in small ways or large!
So, how do I add some excitement…some boldness…some fun to my life? I like to embrace the season and wear colors that reflect it. I can’t wait to put away my darker winter clothes and trade them in for pops of print and vibrant color. It can be through my clothing but also with accessories or beauty products.
Bright nail polish, anyone? It’s so fun for summer! Bye bye, mauve (I’ll see you again in the fall)–Hello fuchsia! Simply seeing the bright color on my hands or toes brightens my mood exponentially.
You can also add a bit of vibrancy to your life with Crystal Light Liquid. I’m going to admit to you right now–I am a plain water gal. I drink a glass of water as soon as I wake up in the morning; I constantly have a fresh glass of water by my side as I work during the day; I drink water at meal time; And, I always end my night with even more water. But I’ll admit: it can get a bit…dull to drink the same thing day in and day out. When I was introduced to Crystal Light’s new Crystal Light Liquids, I was excited to see how I could “spice up” my water, so to speak!
I love that you can simply add a squeeze of Crystal Light Liquid to your still water for a punch of flavor, but there are oh-so-many more options as well! The flavor combinations are fun (from Strawberry Lemonade to Blueberry Raspberry to Mango Passionfruit…and more!), and they really can kick your drink up a notch. And why stop with still water? There are a lot of amazing ideas Crystal Light came up with to add their Crystal Light Liquids to, like adding fresh mint and lime juice to a glass of the Mango Passionfruit. Make sure you visit their page and get inspired yourself!
My new favorite Crystal Light Liquid flavor is the Strawberry Lemonade. And, I couldn’t help but jazz it up in mocktail style–I simply poured sparkling water into a martini glass, added some Crystal Light Liquid (a half squeeze for my taste preference), and garnished with fresh lemons. It’s funny how a simple glass of water can fancy itself up! And, I’ll tell you a little secret: It actually satisfied my craving for soda with the combination of flavor and bubbles. Win-win!

I get a fresh new haircut to add vibrancy back in my life! Takes away that stale feeling if my hair is too long and boring.
I like buying a new accessory or piece of clothing. Something about wearing something new…totally adds an extra pep in my step!
No tricks, really, just add colorful cushions in the living room, use brightly colored bed sheets, do whatever to make so colorful changes when I need a change in my surrounding.

Every once in a while, I treat myself with a new accessory: like a new handbag, pair of shoes, or a statement necklace. (:

I love pulling out my summer clothes! After months of winter, my fun summer tops bring back the vibrancy!
Changing my hair color or even just my nail color adds vibrancy!

I add vibrancy by looking for brighter colors in my clothes and more shimmery hues for my makeup. I add a few special pieces to my wardrobe at a time. I find that sparkly jewelry also ads vibrancy to my look.

One of my little luxuries is fresh juice!
I add vibrancy to my look with hair accessories and to my home with dashes of color here and there.
Okay, I’ve got to check those out because I have to give up sodas now (ugh). But, they sound good so I’m kind of excited to try them.
Hmmmm if I had $100 to add vibrancy back to my life? I’d spend half on getting my hair done, and half on a few bright accessories. I feel like a frump now that I spend all of my time and money (gladly!) on my son, which I don’t mind at all. BUT. I have noticed how badly I’ve let myself go in doing so, so…yeah. I could use some vibrancy! BADLY.
I like to buy something new for my home or a new outfit for me!

I guess you can say I cut my hair to add vibrancy! Although that decision was out of my control 🙂
Paint my toes fun colors!
I like to get my hair done – last year I cut 10 inches off but now, getting it colored helps bring some vibrancy back. This yeah I brought some life back to the house after a long Boston winter by planting flowers (for the first time…!)

I love getting a new hair cut and a pedicure to add some vibrancy to my life. Of course, summer calls for bright colored toenails, like fuschia.
I also love using color in my wardrobe to liven things up! 🙂

When I get too deep in a rut, it’s time to bust out the haircolor!
bright colors, mix & match
I do something to lighten my mood, whether it’s watching a favorite TV show, painting my nails, decorating my home, reading, or simply going for a walk.
My trick is to follow my daughters examples! They have new, exciting and fresh ideas so all I have to do is follow their lead 🙂
