Enhance the Everyday

Look at all the talent blinking back at us in the mirror. We’re a one-stop-shop, a full-service operation for domestic fulfillment, business inspiration, designer trends, and family entertainment. It’s no wonder we’re embracing this concept of upgrading the everyday. We’re resetting expectations and spicing up the ordinary. Yes, we’ve decided to use the good stuff on ourselves - without calling it a splurge.

This idea of elevating essentials is what professionals are talking about across industries, from accessories to automobiles. It’s what we see on Zoom and social media as we forge a path into 2021. Words like personalized, authentic, handcrafted, and long-lasting are used to describe what we look for in our gifts and for ourselves. Experts like Jessica Richards of JMR Design suggest the “fantasy of everyday” has arrived. Luxury automakers claim to “make every drive thrilling.” I say bring it on. We’re dealing with difficult situations in unprecedented times (“FFT’s” as Brene Brown calls them on her recent podcast.). Whether the day is a shining success or a spectacular failure, we should acknowledge our effort.

So light that wonderful candle, take notes in your leather journal, sip drinks from a handcrafted tumbler. We’re tackling days that are a crazy mix of laundry, coffee, pets in our laps, podcasts, music playlists, checking in on Mom, online customer meetings, and digital events. Not to mention, kids all day. Holy smokes! Yes, we deserve to kick things up a notch and treat ourselves.

It’s up to us to spark some magic in our everyday moments. Pull out the colorful towels, rock the socks, and wear the beaded jewelry. Slide that leather jacket on for the Zoom call, and grab your most amazing hat. Allow your personal style to shine, even if it’s through the lens of a laptop camera. Now, where did I put my sparkly green pen…?
