This one is kinda niche, but I’m a hairstylist. Whenever I wash my clients hair, as I give them a head massage with the conditioner I send loving thoughts into the universe over whatever is going on in their life.
Not really whimsical but I always tell random girls they r pretty because when someone calls me pretty I think about it for like a week and I hope they think about it too
I teach the dog how to do things either to make them more interesting for me ('Let me show you how to start a load of laundry') or just to make him feel included ('Do you remember how to make coffee or should I walk you through it again? I know it's hard to remember since you can't practice without thumbs.')
I always set my alarm clock to weird times like 8:52 am or 4:47pm because I don’t want less used numbers to be lonely or sad.
I buy all the cross stitch’s/needlepoint I see at thrift stores because someone took the time to make it and I have them hung up all over my apartment
I kiss my cat on both cheeks then she kisses me on both cheeks then I explain 'she's European' to no one.
Whenever I buy something online and it asks 'is this a gift?' I write a little gift message to myself, usually along the lines of 'you are awesome and deserve these little treats.'
Every time I see the moon, I shout 'Hey gurrrl! Looking amazing, you are glowing!' and just compliment the hell out of her because she’s my bestie.
I wear matching pajamas every time I change my sheets so I can have what I call fancy sleep
i like to lift my pets up so they can look outside of windows they can’t normally look out of
I heat a towel for my daughter in the dryer during her bath and then when I wrap her in it I say “here at Spa Mama we strive for a luxury 5 star experience”
I say “congrats team we made it through another day” when I get into bed at night. It’s just me
forever a whimsical girl because when i was little my mum used to bring me outside every night to say goodnight to the moon and stars
I like to think when i’m putting on make up i’m enhancing my features I.E ( mascara = seeing the good in people or Lip liner / gloss = speaking gratitude and positivity )
I like drinking water at night ouf of small wooden bowls. It makes me feel like I'm being nursed back to health by spirits.
I hold 'office hours' every Tuesday at a local coffee shop, which means I sit on the couch and order drinks for 4-5 hours while various friends and acquaintances visit me to yap abt books and gossip.
Sometimes, a couple hours before bed, I go in my room and turn down the bed, spray a bit of lavender, maybe light a candle, put my water with lemon on my bedside table. Then when I get ready to go to bed a couple hours later I walk in and say 'I love turndown service!' as though it’s a pleasant surprise.
When I feed my dog I say, “the usual?” And when he’s done I say, “how was everything this evening?”
If I have a big scary day ahead of me I look at the front door and wave at my future self to give me courage - I wave back when I get home and say ‘we did it!’ 🎀
i make mini versions of all the books i read and keep them in a mini bookshelf on my normal bookshelf
listen to french music in my headphones while I grocery shop. Makes it more romantic and less mundane feeling
i get so insansly excited about smaller versions of regular sized things, they are my passion
i have an imaginary friend Charlotte that i’m always trying to impress by being a good person
I carry around a small trinket sack in my purse and fill it with trinkets that I collect which remind me of happy memories!
I shout 'NO, not YOU! I don’t even know you!' in the voice of Lilly Moscocvitz when I’m looking for something and find something else unrelated.
Any time I make a mistake at work I giggle to myself, apologize, and say 'it’s my first day.' I’ve worked for the same company for 5 and a half years.
whenever i get a journal i give it a name and write all my entires as letters addressed to that name
when I do my chores I like to pretend I'm in a rush for some sort of fantasy event like the snail queen's coronation!! :3
Idk if this is whimsical but my favorite color was orange as a child because I felt like everyone liked all of the other colors more and I didn’t want it to feel left out or under appreciated 😅
i take a picture of anything heart shaped that isn't meant to be (chips, gum on the floor, pickles) and save it into an album ❤️
saying hello and goodbye to inanimate objects i leave the house bye house bye door arrive at the store hello Walmart
I'm a guy, so maybe I'm not supposed to be here, lol -- but these were all adorable and wonderful,.
Whimsy isn't just for women! It's for men, women, non-binary people, and genderfluid people! <3
