Did you ever want to be a princess?
As a child, I often dreamt of being a beautiful princess who was always pretty, going to fancy balls and wearing pretty princess dresses and tiaras.
Even though we can’t all be like Grace Kelly and marry a real-life prince. That doesn’t mean we don’t have what it takes to be a princess!
Being a princess isn’t just about having some fancy title, tiaras, or a grand palace (although I certainly wouldn’t complain)! But, it is about creating a life that embraces your inner princess and makes you feel regal and cherished.
Welcome to my guide on “how to feel like a princess.” Today on Sidewalks, we discuss 17 ways to live like the princess you already are.
Be a kind human
Being a princess goes beyond wearing a crown – it starts from within. It’s about being kind, caring, respectful, and pleasant to those around you. Show patience and kindness to everyone. And always remember to be humble and gracious.
Become the essence of elegance
Remember, elegance has hardly much to do with wealth. It’s about carrying yourself with grace, style, poise, and confidence. Talking loudly and swearing is a huge turn-off if you want to feel and be treated like a princess. Treating others with kindness and respect is the truest form of elegance.
Take the time to look fabulous at all times.
Always make sure to exude a magnetic charm in your aura. If you want to command attention, you have to dress the part. Can you honestly expect anyone to take a princess seriously if she’s wearing sweatpants and your appearance is poorly put together? Invest time in dressing well and choose stunning outfits that make you feel like royalty.
Eat energy-giving foods
Give yourself a bright start to the day with a delightful breakfast, and add some fruits, nuts, and avocados for that extra oomph. In the words of legendary Virginia Woolf, “One cannot think well, love well, sleep well if one has not dined well.”
Embrace personal growth
Treat yourself to solo adventures for self-discovery and devote time to hobbies and skills that nurture your personal development. Last summer, I spent two months living in NYC and enrolled in a scriptwriting workshop. It was a life-changing experience that pushed me out of my comfort zone. My advice to all the women reading this is to keep pushing yourself to grow, and you have the unlimited capacity to make your life anything you want.
Get Moving
Take regular long walks/hikes in nature, go for a refreshing swim in the pool, or channel your inner Pilates princess. The key is to carve out time for positive and healthy activities for your body.
Embrace royal etiquette
As a princess, taking etiquette seriously is essential. Carry yourself gracefully with poise and impeccable posture in any setting. Master the art of conversation by knowing which topics are suitable and which to avoid in public gracefully.
Don’t give up on your dreams, princess!
Remember, as a princess, the sky’s the limit, and no dream is too big for you. Always maintain a sense of motivation. It’s the secret to leading a fulfilling and happy life. A true, honest, beautiful princess dedicates herself to making her dreams come true and giving herself the best life can offer.
Freshen up the energy in your space
The first thing I love to do each morning when I wake up is to open my windows and light a candle or incense to sweep away any lingering negative vibes. This clears up the air, fills it with fresh and soothing aroma, and puts me in a positive mood.
Romanticize daily tasks
Savour your morning tea/coffee in your cherished teacup instead of a plain glass. Adorn yourself with lovely jewelry simply because it brings you joy. Let the delicate pieces you wear remind you that you deserve to feel special daily. Decorate your space with beautiful, soothing things that bring you peace and joy. Take time to admire and enjoy the little things within and around your home.
Keep it clean
Establish a daily beauty routine for cleaning your face, teeth, nails, lips, hands, and hair in the morning and at night. Make it fun by using colourful soaps or decorating them with cute stickers.
Always smell divine
Use scented lotion (nothing too strong that gives you a headache) and spray perfume before leaving the house. And remember to keep a travel-sized deodorant or perfume with you for quick touch-ups throughout the day!
Handle everything with grace
Even though you’re a princess, you’ve got to learn how to handle the inner Diva. There may be moments when you get mad, but you never want to get all Mean Girls and bitchy on someone. Remember: Classy always wins.
Learn to appreciate the finer things in life
To run with royalty, you must learn to appreciate the finer things in life. Become a jewellery connoisseur and learn about different artists and their works. For instance, you can learn about the works of pioneers such as Leonardo Da Vinci and Van Gogh. Or immerse yourself in the opera world. You get the point.
Indulge in a day of pure indulgence
Unwind with a relaxing massage, rejuvenate your skin with a luxurious facial, or treat yourself to any other spa treatment that pampers your body and soul. Take the time to relax and let the stresses of life melt away as you embrace the pure bliss of a luxurious spa day.
Surround yourself with beauty
Sprinkle your living space with vibrant fresh flowers, infuse the air with the scent of roses, and adorn your home with charming decorations. Surrounding yourself with beauty will whisk you into a world of relaxation and luxury.
Treat yourself to something extraordinary
Whether it’s a stunning piece of jewelry, a delightful indulgence, or a rejuvenating yoga retreat, pampering yourself with something unusual is a beautiful way to feel like a princess.
