There’s nothing better than giving someone a reason to smile. You know what’s so fantastic about it too? We don’t have to give up hardly anything to do so.

We get what we give in life and there are so many little things we can give freely that will bring joy to those around us. And to ourselves too!

Today, be a giver and make someone smile by …

It’s hard to believe we’re already half-way through 2019. It feels like just yesterday we were clinking Champagne flutes and cheering to our best year yet.

So, how is your year going?

Summer’s in full swing here at Savvy Miss and while it’s hard to have a bad summer — what with beach days, yummy in-season fruits and chilled rosé — today we’re sharing our favorite ways to make your next few months even more memorable.

(We know it’s winter for our friends in the southern hemisphere, but your summer will come soon enough, so bookmark these ideas!)

See that stack of papers on your counter? Or the books piled by your nightstand you’re definitely going to read … eventually? Looks like you’ve got some clutter.

For most of us with clutter, seeing stuff just sitting there, piling up day by day, can really weigh on us. It can make us feel bad about ourselves and think negative things like, Why can’t I keep things clean? I’m a lazy mess!

It’s official — summer is here! That’s right, today is summer solstice, AKA the longest day of the year.

While this season may not be as exciting to you now that you’re a “grown-up,” and probably can’t take the next couple of months off like back in grade school, you can take time to enjoy special moments, like today.

You work hard all year and deserve it!

There are two kinds of secrets: Ones to keep (like what your best friend confided in you over wine last week) and those to let loose — like the fact you’ve always wanted to write a book!

It can feel scary to let out your “big goal” secret, but once you do, you take the first step to making it real.

Saying it out loud creates momentum and things begin to happen.

No matter what’s on your to-do list, the most important thing you can accomplish in any day is being good to yourself.

We’re not talking spa days and fancy dinners, but simple things we can all do to make a positive difference in our every day.

Here are 5 daily musts to be good to yourself…

Today, we want to share a little story with you from the book, Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff … and It’s All Small Stuff we think you’re going to LOVE.

There once was a village that had among its people a very wise old man. The villagers trusted this man to provide them answers to their questions and concerns.

While we’re big believers that happiness (for the most part!) is a choice — life isn’t always sunshine and rainbows.

Lows happen to all of us.

Sometimes there isn’t even a reason we feel sad, anxious, angry or blah. Blame it on the moon, stars or waking up on the wrong side of the bed.
