How are you surviving with all this home time? On the blog I’ve talked about what to do with your extra time at home, inexpensive things you can get that make staying at home better, cute and cozy at-home outfits, and nowwww I’m bringing you ways to feel better about yourself in spite of all this extra time we’ve been spending at home! When you spend 24/7 at home it’s easy to feel blah and over it. Hopefully, with these tips, you’re on your way to feeling better about yourself!
How to Feel Better About Yourself at Home
1. Don’t binge on {too much} alcohol and junk food
Did you know that junk food and alcohol sales are soaring right now? And though a glass of wine with popcorn at night when the kiddos go to sleep is a great way to end the day, it’s important not to go too crazy. Too much of these things can make you feel terrible both mentally and physically…and we have enough that we’re dealing with right now as it is! Certain foods can actually help improve your mood too, like fatty fish, dark chocolate, and fruit.

2. Paint your nails
There’s something about painted nails that makes you look down and smile! Pick a color that is proven to boost your mood, like yellow, orange, or red. Or just pick your favorite color (even if it’s black) for a guaranteed mood booster!
3. Put on perfume (even if no one else will smell it)
Perfume for me is the final touch to my outfit and the signal to head out. I feel put together and it makes me feel ready to move on to whatever I have next. Being surrounded by a good smell (and knowing it’s coming from you) just makes you feel better about yourself!
4. Put on jeans (or something other than leggings)
Not saying you have to be in them all day, because at the end of the day, #comfortwins, but it does help you to feel better about yourself when you dress in something nice and close to what you used to wear!
5. Wear lipstick
What is it about lipstick that makes you feel so pretty? Whether you want to do a full face or go natural with a bit of color on your lips, having some sort of makeup on makes you feel better and more put together. Lipstick and mascara are great options too so you don’t have to cake your face in foundation if you don’t want to!
6. Cute undergarments
Even if you’re the only one that knows they’re there…Hopefully, they feel good on your body too and knowing that you’re wearing something cute underneath your clothes makes a big difference!
top | jeans (h&m, similar) | duvet | duvet cover | pillowcases | ruffled pillowcases
Usually, I don’t talk about something like bedding, but if you’re in the market for a new set then you have to check out this duvet comforter & cover that’s pictured in this post. It’s as fluffy as it looks and a complete gamechanger. When I first got it I legit kept thinking about my bed all day haha… #soweird.
Okay, now that I’ve said my piece about the bedding… 😉

It’s fun to look down and see a pretty color!
I love these ideas! This is a crazy time right now and this post is so uplifting!!

cute & little
I’m happy that you found it uplifting!
I agree with all of this, especially about putting on a pair of jeans. I try to wear jeans a few times a week now, just to make sure they still fit at all haha!
Haha I can understand that 😉
I’ve been neglecting myself whilst being home. I’m going to do a pamper day to day. My nails need help! I think fixing yourself up at home does lift your spirits and mood. I need to do more of this.
A pamper day sounds so fun!
Love love LOVE this article, friend! I wore jeans AND red lipstick today – and you’re right .. it made me feel a thousand times better! I can’t wait to try more of these tips out as the days go on. Cute undies and good food tomorrow? Now it’s on the agenda hehe!
Aw, I’m so glad you loved it! I love it too when something simple like lipstick can make a big difference!
Love these ideas! I’m hardly washing my hair, let alone painting my nails. Ha! I do need to get my act together a bit, though. Great tips!
These are such great ideas!! I’ve been trying to cut back on drinking because you’re right: it definitely does not do anything to boost your mood! I love painting my nails too. Such a great feeling!
Well, maybe one glass boosts the mood but more than one doesn’t really help 😉 Thanks for stopping by!
Yes! ??? I love this! Honestly, wearing cute undergarments is SUCH an act of self-care! Even if no one sees them, I think it makes us feel more put-together & confident! Also, I love the “put on lipstick” tip! There’s something about a bold lipstick shade that just makes me happy! Excellent post! So many simple & doable tips!
