7 Tips for surviving Blue Monday!


Blue Monday? No way! These are our 7 tips to beat the blues.  

1. Dance and sing your way to happiness! Put on a playlist of your favourite (vintage) songs and dance and sing your heart out (sorry neighbours). Because singing and dancing have positive effects on your mood and well-being. So, turn up the volume and let’s dance!  

2.
 Keep on smiling : this causes the release of so-called endorphins, which will elevate your mood. Watch those funny cat videos, a show of your favourite comedian or relive some happy memories by going through pictures either on your phone or in a photo album. This way you’ll be smiling through Monday!

 
3. Get creative with our DIY Nipple Tassels! That’s right… nipple tassels. With an activity like this, a fun-filled night with your bestie is guaranteed. Have fun and be sure to share your creations with us.

4. 
Try complimenting the people around you throughout the day. Once you start doing this, you’ll find you’ll get complimented in return. Besides, giving someone a compliment will not only make them but also yourself feel good! It’s a win-win! 

5. Exercise for at least half an hour. It doesn’t matter how you work out, just do it. Exercise also releases endorphins, so you start feeling better automatically. And who said that you can’t have fun while exercising? How about some roller skating (using retro skates of course) or a nice walk? You won’t regret it!

6. Meet up with one of your friends. Even if it’s a Monday. You don’t need to wait until the weekend to do something fun. Monday nights are just as great for organising a film night or doing a jigsaw puzzle together (tip: these fabulous vintage puzzles from the New York Puzzle Company that are part of our collection). You can find an overview of some fun retro series in this blog!

7. Last but not least: treat yourself to a new pair of shoes or a pretty dress (have you already seen our new Vintage Diva collection)?
This is guaranteed to improve your mood.
