Monday Morning Inspiration: From Just My Type

Hello hello pretties! i'm ann michele from just my type, and i'm so excited to share with you today. sam and I not only share a love of the blogging world, but we also are good friends through our church here in houston. now enjoy and be inspired!

i'm going to let you in on a little secret... i detest mondays. it's a cruel reminder that your weekend-o-fun is over and that it's time to resume the daily grind. now please know that i'm a very joyful person who loves glitter and sunshine just as much as the next girl, but i struggle with starting my week off right. even in college when they gave us t-shirts that said 't.g.i.m.' for 'thank God it's monday' claiming we should be so excited to go to work doing what we love, i purposefully would wear the shirt on fridays just to protest the very idea : )

but have no fear, i have found a solution!! (imagine me wearing a cape here) i treat myself on mondays. it's the only way i can sanely get through the day with a big smile on my face. so here are 7 ideas of how to treat yourself when you have a case of the mondays



download your favorite to your iPad or pick up one on your lunch hour!




shoes, throw pillows, music, or candles... shopping doesn't have to break the bank.




pinterest is great for finding new ideas of tasty creations!



pack up the car with a picnic and find the perfect spot! (even if it's with a friend)






try a new place for lunch! that break in the day will help monday speed by even faster!




i happen to love bubble baths, but do whatever that helps you get to your happy place.



grande iced white mocha w/ whip please!

(1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.)


now go treat yourself gorgeous!! you deserve it ; ) also a big thank you to sam for having me and letting me share some monday morning inspiration! for more tidbits of design, yumminess, interiors, and sunshine head over to my blog to see what's just my type. xoxo!



Ann Michele is beyond talented at all things design.  She also happens to be a good friend! Now go check out her beautiful blog.  Thanks for sharing, Ann Michele!

  2. Very cute post! And great ideas for the Monday blues...those shrimp wontons look amazing.. I like to go to lunch with girlfriends during the week, as often as possible, to combat the work from home, not-getting-out blues! I love your list, and it is all of the things I love to do..

  6. This is such a great idea! Now I bet you love Mondays. I need to take this advice and apply it to all things I dislike. It would make those little chores/days something to look forward to instead or dreading and/or procrastinating.

  23. Great post! Mondays are diff for me now that I am a SAHM. I hate that hubs has to go back to work or fly across the country for the week (for work, blah). So I like to take a little trip to the mall, just me and baby, and look around! Helps it go by faster! Great list! Def going to indulge a little next monday!
