Hello, my love. Welcome back to the busy yet pretty podcast. I'm your host, Jaden Haley. This episode was so unbelievably requested. I think one of the most requested episodes I've ever had. And most importantly, I am so excited to talk about today's episode because without this, what is life? Honestly, life is supposed to be the best, feeling the best, feeling the happiest. And in order to do that, sometimes you have to romanticize your life. So I'm so excited for today's episode. And if you are new here, welcome to the busy yet pretty community. Over this podcast, I talk all about how to become the best version of you and ultimately love yourself, live your dream life, and become the dream version of you. With that being said, let's get into our weekly review. This week, actually, I mean last week, I didn't have an

episode come out because this was Kitty's time and I had to put my childhood cat down and it's been so unbelievably hard and trying to just cope with grieving is just something I have never experienced before that has to do with a death so I was really heartbroken to have to do this and my mom and I have been crying almost every single day but if you have struggled with a pet loss please let me know how you coped with it because I'd love to hear it but honestly I am doing better every single day and just celebrating the beautiful life and memories he's had. Another thing this week is I have been trying out dairy again. If you guys know and have heard from past episodes, I have not had dairy in so long, but started having Greek

yogurt and cut his cheese again. And let me just say my life has changed. I am feeling so good. Honestly, my skin has not broken out too bad. And I'm feeling like a good path going forward where dairy may be in my food groups now. And the last thing, is I have been getting new swimsuits for the summer. I feel like everyone just needs to get some new swimsuits for the summer. It can feel so rewarding and so exciting to just get something to feel good, sexy, and confident in. So I have stocked up on about 10 new bathing suits this past week, and I'm feeling so excited. Now on to the current obsession.

My current obsession at the moment is having a high protein diet. I just feel so much better when I eat a lot of protein, and I feel much stronger, awake, and energized, so I've been having more of a higher protein diet and feeling so good. Another current obsession right now is the quote, clean girl look. I just think it's so beautiful, so chic and classy, especially for the summer, very much Jurf Avenue-esque bubble bath, funny bunny nails type of a look.

And ultimately, the girl who just gets right out of the everything shower looking glowy, natural and fresh is what I'm going for. Now on to the goal of the week. My current goal of the week right now is to try a new exercise. I feel like trying out new exercises can help motivate you to work out and not only that, but try working out different parts of your body that can help you become stronger in places that you could not become stronger before. Another goal of the week right now is to look into acupuncture. I really want to try doing some acupuncture to help regulate my period in my hormones. As you guys probably know, acupuncture is great for fertility. No, I am not trying to get pregnant whatsoever, but fertility is, of course, linked with having a healthy cycle.

So whatever it has to do with me being able to get my period back, I will. In my last school week right now is to cook a new meal. I just love trying out new meals, especially in the summer because, you know, we don't want to eat out every single day and we want to have our own menu going at home. Now on to a self-love question. What do you love the most about your life? I love that question so much and I really recommend journaling that question. Now on to your affirmation. Life is always on my side and I am always at peace. I love that affirmation so much because when it gets stressful and honestly just becomes busy in our life, we can feel like the world and universe is turning against us and it's so good to remember that what is happening is not.

happening to you, it's happening for you. So I just love this affirmation so much. Now for your challenge, your challenge is every morning make yourself a cucumber mint water and it really just makes your water taste so much better and a really great way to romanticize your life. Now onto the podcast review and if you want to be featured on next week's episode, please feel free to leave a podcast review over Apple Podcasts. This review is from Kayla and Kayla said, I honestly wish I could give more stars to this podcast. Not going to lie, I did a complete change of lifestyle with this podcast in the best way possible. I always recommend it to all my girls and I adore how each episode is 15 minutes long, perfect for any time throughout the day. It's great for a pick me up,

self-love and care, discipline, beauty, and most importantly, being your greatest self. I have so much gratitude towards this podcast and the creator. If you're pondering about listening to it, just do it and you won't regret it. Kayla, that review made my absolute day. I just love how you said it's just the perfect self-care and discipline. And I really love how you pointed out the length of the episodes because I really try to do it and have a little bite size listen. So it's not too long and just too much information, but also the right amount that you can do it on your way to work or when you're taking a walk or just have a little time throughout

the day to have a little pick me up. I'm so glad you're enjoying the podcast. And without further ado, let's get into today's episode. Today we're going to talk about how you can romanticize your life, and I know it sounds cliche, it sounds basic, I know you've heard it on TikTok, you've heard it on reels, wherever you've heard it, you've heard romanticize your life, and that can just go past your head, but what I mean by romanticize your life is begin to fall in love with the life that you currently have, and of course, fall in love with the life that you're creating for yourself.

And let me just tell you, right now when you're listening to this, there is no. no better time to start romanticizing your life than now. You are here for a reason listening to this episode. Whatever made you click on this episode, whether you got a notification, alarming you that it's a new episode, or you just happen to see it from someone's TikTok, someone's story, or you just randomly clicked on it. You are here listening to this for a reason because it's time for you to change the way you think about your life and most importantly how you live your life. So there is no better time than to start romanticizing your life then now. So of course we want to fall in love with the life that we're creating and the life that we will one day have, but it's also so important to live in the present because

this time is going to swipe past you and you're not enjoying the process. And the most beautiful thing about this is that every single person in this world can romanticize their life. It doesn't matter if you have a really expensive car or you can't afford a car. Whatever it is, let me just say anyone can romanticize their life. There are no guidelines or requirements for you to begin romanticizing your life. All you have to do is start now. It is so easy to want somebody else's life or a different life, but we forget how lucky we are to have what we actually have at this moment. Do not feel anxious and just wanting something else because let me just tell you, you can have that life one day. You are going to have your dream life. You're going to have your

dream car, your dream vanity, your dream room, your dream house, your dream significant other, you're going to have that one day. So don't worry about it and don't stress about it because you're working towards that and you're on your way there. But right now, begin enjoying what you have. It's so important to fall in love with your days and how you're living your everyday life. You want to wake up excited and looking forward to things. So we're going to talk about today how you can enjoy your dash. And what I mean by dash, is the time, the day you enter this earth and the day you leave this earth. And again, what I mean by the dash is if you look at a tombstone or at someone's day to birth and when they died, there's a dash in the middle.

So it's not necessarily how many years we can get for our life, but how we spend the years that we have in our life. First things first you need to start doing is stop taking things so seriously and stop taking things so closely to heart. You need to begin living with a less crowded mind. Where is my overthinkers at? If you're an overthinker and you're raising your hand right now, babe, I am raising my hand as well. Most of us on this earth are overthinkers and that is okay but we need to learn how to manage it. And something that so often comes with overthinking is perfectionism and just caring way too much to have everything perfect. Yes, your dinner that you may have spent all evening on cooking,

buying ingredients for turned out awful. It may have turned out absolutely awful and you're so bummed. But instead of dwelling on the negative, instead of turn it around to a positive and begin romanticizing that situation, still go plate your dinner on a pretty plate, light a candle, and have yourself a date night. Maybe it didn't turn out exactly how you wanted it to do. But wouldn't you rather have a little of the night saved by doing something nice for yourself, by lighting a candle, watching a movie, and doing that, or by dwelling on how it tasted awful, how you did so bad, and just freaking out and not eating anything for dinner. That is not the route you want to take.

You have to look on the bright side of things, or you'll be living unhappy and always chasing what you can't have. The ultimate way for you to begin romanticizing your life is get inspo. For you, that may be going on YouTube and watching YouTube videos of how people live out their days or going on Pinterest and see how other people romanticize their life. I find looking at things visually can be so helpful to give you that motivation and inspiration you need to start living happier throughout your days and how you can incorporate fun things into your day. Personally, I am such a Pinterest girl, so I will go on Pinterest, scroll when I feel unmotivated or burnt out,

and I'm just seeing other girls how they live their life and it makes me excited because I think that look so beautiful and I want to reflect that onto my own life. Let's say you have a job that you don't love. You can search up that job and go on Pinterest and see how people romanticize that. Let's say you work a corporate job. You can search up corporate job aesthetic on a Pinterest. I kid you not, tons of cute corporate outfits will come up and just how other people live their life and make it fun making the best out of it. If you have to go to school and and you want a way to make school more fun, search up school aesthetic,

and a ton of inspo will come up for you how you could make school better and fun and exciting. Same with if you are a mom, you can search up mom aesthetic, morning routines for moms, self-care mom night, like anything, anything to make you feel like you're personally building out your own time for yourself.

And of course, I always really recommend you have a wellness board, go on Pinterest, create a wellness board as well, pin everything that you think is pretty, that you want to go shopping for the next time you're at the grocery store, someone's morning routine that gives you inspo on how to organize your own mornings. Inspo really is so important and can work as the best motivator when trying to romanticize your life, which is why the more you consume, the more you internalize. So it's so important for you to consume uplifting content that, of course, does not wear you

down. When I can't be the only one who has this like dream item of theirs that they always see whether it's a bag, a sweater, a top and you're like, I just need that, but it's like sold out everywhere. That's me with this one, vintage, Duny and Burke bag. I literally was looking everywhere for it and I somehow found one on a Poshmark. But not just one. I found multiple of them at such a good price and I was like, wait, this is just too good to be true. So if you know me, you know I am a Poshamark girl.

But it doesn't have to be a lot of time, whether you're traveling or just having a spring refresh. Have something for your health that you can rely on. That's why I love AG1. AG1 is a daily health drink clinically shown to support your gut health and fill in common nutrient gaps. AG1 is so loved between me and my and.

and my family. I drink it all the time. My mom, my dad, my brothers. My grandpa, like, we all love AG1 here. Most importantly, because it's so easy, you can literally just pour it into water, shake it up, and you're done. And it just feels so good to know that your energy, your immune health, and your gut health is all being supported. I seriously could not have a spring refresh without it.

That's $72 yours free only while supplies last. Go to drinkag1.com slash pretty. When romanticizing your life, you also have to think of the dream version of

yourself. How would she live her life? Would she be watching these shows or would that make her feel bad and down? Or would she be watching this positive content and that would be making her feel great? in order to become the person you want to be and the life you want to have. You have to begin living and thinking that way. And I know at the beginning of the episode, I said live in the present and don't worry about the future. And I do mean that, but sometimes if we just take a look at what we are doing to ourselves in our situation, we sometimes don't realize that we have been self-sabotaging ourselves to not feel the best version of us. So if that means changing how you think and how you live your life, then do it.

Take action and start now. Another really important thing to romanticize your life is take yourself on a date. You have to date yourself. If you were someone who loves and wants the plans that you do when you have a boyfriend or a husband, such as going on a picnic or going on a cute walk, going to the fair in the summer, any of those things that you would do with a significant other, do it for yourself. You need to start providing all and everything you want because you, You are a golden girl.

It takes a lot to impress you, so let me just say you need to start impressing yourself first rather than trying to fill that void having someone else try to impress you. Set your standards high, provide for yourself. So in that case, when that great person does come along, you're seeing them and liking them for their own personalities and morals rather than just wanting them because you'll be able to go on that picnic or go on that date. So like I said, provide for yourself and start taking yourself. on a date. Another thing is get over your fear of embarrassment. Like, hello? Why are we embarrassed these

days? Nobody should be embarrassed. You should not be embarrassed about anything. If you trip and fall, pose, pose on the floor, make yourself look cute like you did it on purpose. Who cares? We are human. We are all living life for our first time. So stop being so hard on yourself. And being able to get over that fear of embarrassment can help you be able to take steps to romanticize your life even more. And something I absolutely love and really recommend to get over your fear of looking stupid is do things that will purposely try to embarrass you. Maybe go dress up in a really fancy outfit and go out in public. Maybe go up to a group of strangers and compliment all of them. Or when you're driving, wave past at all the cars that you pass. Do things that you feel like would be an

embarrassing and you will realize that each time you do one of those things you start to look at the world in a different lens that being life does not matter and you really just need to start living for yourself you doing some of these carefree and enjoyment activities putting you in those potentially embarrassing situations will put you in that main character mindset that you're looking for and when it comes to self-care there is no better self-care than taking off your bra when you get home. We all know the feeling of how uncomfortable having an underwire just jab into your ribs all day long. So this is your sign to pick up a bra that you can wear at home every day. Feel comfortable in and does not have an underwire. I got one the other day from Honeylove and let me tell you it has been my

favorite to wear around the house because it just is so much more comfortable than having a wire bra and I love how they cater to all bra sizes. So you never have to worry about your girls not being supported. Also, I feel like we all have just a buildup of too many bras in our drawer, so it's time to have a little good clean out to let go of the old and bring in the new. For a limited time, you can get Honeylove on sale for 20% off. Your entire order with the exclusive link, honeylove.com slash busy. That's honeylove.com slash busy to get some new comfortable bras and shapewear for the season. Another thing that is essential when romanticizing your life is be okay with being spontaneous.

I am a huge planner. I've always loved planning things out perfectly, and I feel like you maybe are the same way because it is so easy to want to plan everything out, but sometimes the best memories are made with no initial plan. I really encourage you to try to go into things with no plans sometimes and just go with the flow. That could be you booking a vacation,

not having any plans and just figuring it out as you go. That could be also you planning a friend date and you don't know exactly what you're going to do, but you just show up and go with the flow. The best memories are sometimes made when there has been no plan at the start. Another thing that I really, really recommend when romanticizing your life

and to get that main character energy. And remember, we can all be main characters in our own minds, okay? It doesn't matter what age you are, what gender you are, however you identify. Every single person is their own main character. It's just how you view yourself and how you treat yourself. But as I was saying, listen to more music. Make yourself a busy yet pretty playlist

or a main character playlist for you to really be able to just tap into that playlist at any time when you need that energy and to feel uplifted. Okay, this one is a classic, it's a classic Jaden move. and a classic thing that every single girl should do. Buy yourself flowers. You need to start making your space feel so lively and happy and positive. In that case, buy yourself some flowers. And don't let it stop there.

Buy yourself some treats, some desserts, and in result, just pamper yourself. Something else that is so essential is write your future self-note. A self-loved note, this could be talking about how much you love yourself in talking to your future self or what you feel at this moment right now but just write yourself a note that you can open years down the line

because let me just say it can be so cute to just open this up years later and see oh my gosh look at all the growth I've had since then and it just feels so beautiful to have something from your past self I know I have so many business listeners in here

and I've seen some of your guys's work you guys are insane with your own little shop. And since I started my podcast, I know the feeling of putting so much time to something and wanting the recognition that you deserve. So when it comes to your own shop and selling, of course you want the recognition, which is why I love Shopify. Shopify is a global commerce platform that helps sell at every stage of your business. From the launch or online shop stage to the first real-life store stage, all the way to the we did it. We hit a million order stage. Shopify's here to help you grow.

Macha or Pilates equipment, Shopify is there to help you grow your business and reach your target audience.

Shopify.com slash busy yet pretty. I promise you guys will not regret using Shopify. Another way to romanticize your life is begin being a hoster. Start hosting things. You can host a picnic, a dinner party, or gather your friends for a girl's movie night, or your family, or you can just even host yourself. I will sometimes just make an entire brunch and host my own little solo brunch for myself. And I have the best time. You have to start putting the same energy you would into yourself as if you're planning this

for your friends or your family. You would go get dressed up if you were to go to dinner with your friends. So go get dressed up for you now. Go do it for yourself. And of course, I know I mentioned this earlier, but my favorite way to romanticize my day is make yourself cucumber mint water. I'm telling you, it is the best thing ever. And if you don't like cucumber or mint,

do strawberry water or blackberry water. Do something that just adds a little fruit or touch into your water. and I'm telling you it makes it look gorgeous throughout the day while you're drinking it and tastes so good. Something that is so important to romanticize your life is create a sustainable morning and evening routine. That morning routine can be you waking up in your gorgeous pink lingerie or your Victoria's Secret pajamas. Give yourself a hug in the morning. Tell yourself how you actually love yourself. Think about how grateful you are.

Put on some jazz music and go start journaling. And of course, make yourself that healthy breakfast that you see on Pinterest to feel your mind, body, and soul. And for your night routine, it can be taking your everything shower, exfoliating, putting on your favorite body lotion, putting on your favorite cute pajamas, then getting a wine glass and pouring yourself a probiotic soda that will make you feel great in the evening. It's so important to have the mindset that you deserve the best, where it is so important to treat yourself, whether that be a foot soap, getting your nails done with the girls, having a spa day, a facial, anything to actually make you feel good about yourself. And if you choose the top option for everything in life, why settle for a doctor? This is your health. As you guys know, I'm a huge health advocate, and I truly believe you investing in your health is one of the best things that you could do for yourself and longevity.

The way you live your mornings and nights will literally shape your day and how you feel. So why are you not doing this for yourself?

You have to start right now. Stop just sitting all day on your phone, scrolling on TikTok, eating bags and bags of chips as you're feeling gross. You want to feel great. You want to feel happy and sexy and energized. So be kind for yourself and care for yourself. Even though some of these things sound so minimal and so little, but it makes a huge difference. You need to start doing these little things that are cute and that bring you joy into your daily life. because even doing these little things and putting in a little bit of effort

builds up and accumulates into huge differences in your life where it's having positive change. In order to become the best version of you, you have to care for yourself, and it all starts from within and how you live your life.
