Here's a new feature I'm starting, that will run every Sunday.
Yes folks, stop on by every Sunday to spice up your lives. It's that easy, that good, that fun!
Has your life been stuck in a rut? Do you do the same things, day in and day out? Could you just SCREAM from all the mundane motions you feebly attempt, day after day? No adventure, no excitement, no exileration?
Then Spice up your Sunday is for YOU!
Yes, that's right, stop on by The Cozy Chickadee every Sunday, and get your tip for spicing up your average everyday ordinary life.
I actually got the motivation to start this little adventure from a book, which shall remain nameless, that suggest the simple and everyday things we can do to add adventure and fun to our lives.
I think we get stuck in a rut, and do the same things, over and over. We never shake up the routine, we never step outside the box, we never want to shake things up, or try anything different.
Well this, my friends, is the end of that! Go with me on a journey, to change your routine, your life, your outlook, by doing the simple things I suggest, once a week, and see that you don't find you're living a happier life!
Here's what I mean:
Have you bought the same 2-3 salad dressings, for years on end?
Do you drive the same way to work, the store, your friends house?
Can you remeber the last time you had 2 or more hours, all to yourself, to do whatever you wanted?
Have you tried that cute new restaraunt you keep driving by, or do you always end up at the old standby?
Have you ever bought yourself a new perfume or body spray, or do you just wear the same one?
I love this weeks Spice up my Sunday challenge. It is simply this:
This week, I want you to go to your local florist, and pick out some flowers that speak to your soul. Not your regular one that you would pick, mind you! Something different.
I think everyone has a favorite "standby" flower, that they love to pick up or receive now and again. My favorite has always been tulips. Love the cheery colors, the shape, the memories of Spring that they envoke.
I want you to just wander around, and look at all the different flowers they have to offer, and pick something else beside your regular favorite.
Enjoy the colors, the shapes, the scents, and just being in such a pretty place. Bring them home, and give them a prominent place in your home. Place them in a creative container, depending on your style. Here are a couple of ideas I love:

Are the throw pillows on your sofa or bed the SAME ones from years ago?
Is your closet full of safe, predictable clothes, in the same color pallet as you've always worn?
See what I mean?
It's a proven fact that people who try new things, and shake up the old routine, stimulate their brain on a regular basis, and lead happier lives. Don't be afraid to try or do something new. There are so many cool things out there, just calling your name, if you'll open up and hear them.
I'm going to start with easy things, to give you some motivation to get going. I will be doing these things as well, and reporting back. So let's get started, shall we.I love this weeks Spice up my Sunday challenge. It is simply this:

I believe having fresh flowers in your home makes you feel so good, and adds a cheeriness all it's own.
If you can't get to the florists, or don't have one nearby, the market will have to do, and even they have a decent selection of flowers and plants.
It is finally starting to warm up here in Colorado, and I itch to be out in the soil, digging it up, and getting my beds ready for the Spring. Until I can cut my own fresh flowers, I'll have to make do with some from the store.
If you'd like to take the Spice challenge, leave a comment below, and let me know what you picked from the store. If you post about it, leave the link to your blog, I'd love to see all the pictures.
Have a flowery day!
