Sunday Aesthetics: Bedside Manners
Imagine this, you are in bed possibly with a beloved four legged animal cuddled beside you and the only plans you’ve made for the next few hours is to stay in bed. Sundays in bed is a magical form of self care. You are where you want to be and surrounded by your favorite things. No one can bother you, rush you or ask non-sensical questions until Monday morning. You’re on Nespresso number 2 with a plate of fresh croissants you picked up from the bakery yesterday just for this moment of solitude.
You put the phone on vibrate, because it’s what you deserve and the only noise necessary is a favorite song from the Sunday Aesthetics playlist, Can’t Take My Eyes Off You, a classic tune that reminds you of your parents, which you now find yourself crooning aloud to your fur baby. Her ears perk up, so she approves.
This is what Sundays are for right?
Then you remember that Friday was payday and that whoever invented direct deposit was an utter genius. You look around you and consider that your bedside table is missing something - something.
Almost immediately, Sunday in bed turns into a peaceful hour of online shopping. You are a lucky girl, as the kids say on TikTok.
