It's Monday.
Again.
I'm convinced Mondays arrive approximately three times faster than Fridays. 😂
One minute you're enjoying the weekend, telling yourself you'll definitely get organised on Monday...
And suddenly Monday morning is standing at the end of the bed saying:
"Well? I'm here. What are we doing?"
So today I thought we'd forget about the usual Monday blues and have ourselves a little Monday Reset instead.
And naturally...
We're starting with the knickers. 🩲
☀️ Monday Doesn't Have to Be Miserable
There's something about Monday that makes us think we need to completely reinvent our lives.
New diet.
Perfect house.
Empty inbox.
Ten thousand steps.
Drink more water.
Answer every email.
Become incredibly successful before lunchtime.
Meanwhile I'm standing in the kitchen at 9am wondering where I left my cup of tea.
😂
Perhaps we're expecting a little too much from ourselves.
What if Monday wasn't about becoming a completely new person?
What if it was simply about starting again?
🩷 Start With Something Small
I've always believed little things can change your mood.
Fresh bedding.
Your favourite perfume.
A proper cup of tea.
Putting some music on while you work.
And yes...
Choosing a beautiful pair of silky satin knickers.
Nobody at work knows.
The person standing beside you in the supermarket certainly doesn't know.
But you know.
And there's something rather lovely about beginning Monday with a tiny secret luxury underneath an otherwise completely ordinary outfit.
😂 Choosing Monday's Knickers
Actually, I think your Monday knickers say quite a lot about how the week is going to go.
Black satin?
"I've got this. Don't mess with me." 🖤
Bright pink?
"Monday isn't ruining my mood." 🩷
Pretty lace?
"I may have 47 emails, but at least I'm fabulous." ✨
Big comfortable bloomers?
"Nobody speak to me until I've finished this tea." ☕
All perfectly acceptable Monday personalities.
📦 Monday at Gloss Glam
Monday in my little lingerie world usually means checking orders, answering messages, looking at stock, planning blogs, sorting photographs and convincing myself that I absolutely do not need to look at any more new lingerie.
That last one normally lasts approximately seven minutes.
Then I spot something with a satin bow.
And suddenly...
"Well, perhaps I should order one just to see what it's like..."
It's called business research.
Obviously.
😂
🌸 Don't Carry Last Week Into This One
This is probably the part of the Monday reset I like most.
Last week doesn't get to decide what happens this week.
Maybe you didn't finish everything.
Maybe something went wrong.
Maybe you weren't as productive as you'd hoped.
Maybe you spent Sunday eating biscuits and watching television when you were supposed to be "getting organised."
So what?
Today is another chance.
You don't need a new year.
You don't need a new month.
Sometimes you just need a Monday.
💕 Give Yourself Something to Look Forward To
I think every Monday needs one little treat waiting somewhere in the week.
It doesn't need to cost much—or anything at all.
Maybe it's...
☕ Coffee with a friend.
🌸 Fresh flowers.
📖 An evening with a good book.
💕 Date night.
🛍️ A little browse online.
🩲 Wearing the gorgeous knickers you've been saving.
Or simply deciding that one evening this week belongs entirely to you.
Having something small to look forward to can make an ordinary week feel completely different.
✨ My Monday Promise
So here's mine:
This week I'm going to try not to measure a good day purely by how much work I get done.
I'm going to celebrate the little wins too.
An order packed.
A customer helped.
A blog written.
A good cup of tea enjoyed while it's actually still hot.
That last one might be the most ambitious goal of all. 😂

Tell me in the comments—I suspect we're going to have quite a few members of Team Ask Me Tuesday!
Thank you for starting another week with me.
Whatever happened last week...
Whatever's waiting in your inbox...
Whatever Monday throws at you...
Start small.
Be kind to yourself.
Put the kettle on.
Choose the knickers that make you smile.
And let's try again.
Until tomorrow...
💕 New week. Fresh knickers. Fresh start. We've got this.
