Make Today Extraordinary

AUGUST 2013

Here at White Peacock, we believe in making the ordinary extraordinary. We believe in celebrating the little things in life, not just the big milestones like birthdays, weddings, and anniversaries. It’s too easy to coast through your day, to get too stressed out or busy to appreciate the beautiful little moments in the everyday. It’s time to toast the little things, to find something in each day to celebrate.

So often we save our best things for special occasions — our best dresses, our best dishes, our favorite foods. But what are we really saving them for? Why not make today feel like a holiday, and pull out that outfit you’ve been keeping in the back of your closet? Serve your daughters their morning milk or juice in your grandmother’s tea cups that are just collecting dust on the shelf. If you’re having a tough day, treat yourself to a cupcake or fancy coffee. If nothing else, painting your nails gold never fails to make a day feel special. Whatever it is, make time every day to take a breath, to notice the beautiful things in life, to find little ways to celebrate. And every once in a while, it doesn’t hurt to actually pop open some bubbly and give a toast to the extraordinary bits of every day!

So tell us, what do you do to make a day feel special? What’s your go-to pick-me-up? How are you going to celebrate today?
