Romance the Every Day is a lovely and well curated collection of week-by-week suggestions for slowing down and luxuriating outside the daily grind, written by Andrea Kasprzak. Released 1st Oct 2024 by Chronicle Books, it's 120 pages and is available in hardcover and ebook formats.
Daily mental healthcare, self-care, and support are vitally important, especially given the current state of *everything* and the author has compiled a lovely creative list of things for readers which are do-able, relatively simple, and which will bring a whiff of luxury to the every day.
The suggestions run the gamut from meditative thoughtful pauses and routines to get mind and body working, to edible treats, and moments of commune with nature walking and enjoying the outdoors. The book's graphic are restful and calm, enhanced throughout with watercolor illustrations by Katharina Puritscher. They're mostly pastels and full of small cozy details which support and enhance the text very well.
Four and a half stars. This would make a lovely gift, for home use, and for library acquisition.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
