1. Bake chocolate chip cookies from ultra-scratch... (as in, go out and get eggs from a real live chicken and make butter from fresh cream and all.)
2. Watch The Big Bang Theory and laugh till your ribs hurt (bazinga!)
3. Go out with all your cousins- the extended ones, the ones you haven't seen in ten years, the ones you forgot about! (this is what facebook is for!)
4. Read some Marian Keyes. I resisted it for so long, but thanks to my cousin Gugs, I finally gave in. I hardly ever read novels that are just for pure entertainment, and hers are by far the only ones that were worth my time.
5. Blast some really bad music- I'm talking Spice Girls, Britney, Backstreet Boys, Savage Garden. Dancing to bad music is a lost art.
6. Paint your nails the color of candy.
7. Wear a long skirt.
8. Watch "My Best Friend's Wedding". Cameron Diaz singing at karaoke, Julia Roberts talking into a giant mobile phone, and Rupert Everett acting straight are priceless moments. 90's rom-com at its best.
9. Go to the beach. Preferably a semi-deserted beach, and go in for a swim. You might not feel it right away, but the ocean will cleanse your soul. Do it at sunrise for extra mood boosting.
10. Make funny faces. If possible, photograph them and share it with others; it'll make them feel better too.
See?
