Have a Say "YES" Day ~ Cozy Slow Moments

Hello Beautiful friends!  If you haven't noticed yet, I am all about cozy. It is my language. I love slow and calm moments, even in the midst of busy must live life moments. Join me as I share about a much needed restful day simply saying yes to things that make me feel refreshed, slow me down and enjoy some COZY!

When our children were little, I read a parenting book and there was a suggestion to have a say yes day (within reason) with your kids. If they want to paint, then paint. If they want to cook with you, let them. If they want to build a fort, let them. As a very routine person and super type A I needed this balance in my life. It was a wonderful tip and it was foundational to me as a young mom. 

Well, every now and then we need to say yes to ourselves too!!! I am an empty nester now and so it is a little easier BUT even when our children were at home, I was very good about balancing a day of slowness and coziness to recharge myself during our busy lives.

So, I had one of those days this past Saturday! I slept in. Enjoyed a cozy bath, cup of coffee, read my devotions and then ordered take out! YES! Yes! I did. I never ever do this but I did. I enjoyed my early lunch while reading and catching up on blogs and watching my favorite YouTube creators. 

I picked up this delicious fall scented bath wash from Bath & Body! It is so perfect for this time of year.

I enjoyed a body scrub, face scrub, a face mask, and pampering my eyes and nails. LONG OVERDUE!!

While I was doing this I curled up in my cozy bed to finish reading my book on my Kindle. It was pretty good. I began reading it on vacation and finished it up on Saturday.

Then I continued curled up and watched an older Fall Hallmark Movie called, Falling for Vermont, that Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Blog suggested. I loved it. It was fitting for MY COZY day!

I decided I needed to move my body and work my mind a little besides staying in bed ALL DAY! So, I worked on my Book Nook and took an evening walk.

It was a perfect ending to a lovely SLOW COZY SAY YES DAY!!!

I hope this will encourage you to take a day, a morning, an afternoon or evening. Or even take an hour to slow down and get cozy. Say yes to something you keep putting off that will refresh you!!!

With Love,
