Have you guys ever watched The League? I wrote about how awesome it is a couple of months ago. Anyway, there are several husbands in the show and one of them is generally messing up with his wife. One guy, Ruxin, starts treating his wife to a “Terrific Lady Day” every now and again, where she gets to do anything she wants and doesn’t have to talk about football at all.
But I’m thinking, why not treat yourself to a terrific lady day whenever you want? I like to do this often, and I sometimes also call it “doing Chanelle stuff”.
I had a terrific lady day the other night for no reason at all. It was extra terrific because it included a bottle of VOVETI prosecco, and I never turn down a glass of bubbles. VOVETI is a craft prosecco, and there are only 15,000 cases produced each year. But still it manages to be both upscale and affordable (under $20!) so you can have your cake and eat it too, so to speak.
So on my terrific lady day, I didn’t do anything too crazy. I just spent some relaxing time doing a few things I enjoy doing.
I washed my makeup off and put some leggings on.
I made a little plate of grapes.
I poured myself some VOVETI prosecco. It was light, crisp, and fresh. I loved it.
I turned on my most relaxing playlist, which is entitled “Soporific Schlombola“. << Click to listen if you have Spotify!
I lit some Nag Champa incense.
I lit some candles.
And I got some writing done!
It was a really refreshing way to spend a weeknight and was a good reminder that spending a night here and there in my own company doesn’t make me a lonely spinster, it makes me a super terrific lady.
So in conclusion, I leave you with these words of wisdom from Lil’ Jon:
Go get yourself some VOVETI prosecco and have your own affordable & luxurious terrific lady day!

My best friend introduced me to prosecco years ago. I’ve grown to love it and it always reminds me of her.

christina aliperti says
That sounds like a perfect weekend to me! I love to stay in once in a while and light candles. I drink some wine and watch a movie or read a good book.

Some days you just have to treat yo’self! Otherwise you just might go crazy!

Michele says
I think I might have commented on this before but since I can’t seem to find it I’ll just comment again! Yes everyone needs a day or two a month just for themselves to do whatever it is that makes them feel relaxed and beautiful and comfortable in their own skin. For me this means taking a hot bubble bath with scented oils and then curling up under my quilt with a good book or two.
Jasmine says
I can definitely use a nice lady day.
Lynndee says
I definitely need an affordable and luxurious terrific lady day. One of these nights maybe? 🙂 We’ll see.

Tonight is a homeschool mom’s night out at a friends house. This sounds like a nice wine to enjoy for those moments!

I’d love to have a regular day to myself to read or write, all while in my pajamas! It’s much more special when a hubby treats his wife to something like this because he loves her, not because he’s in trouble. Lol
Chanelle says
Lol. I’d have to agree with that sentiment.
Wendy @ ABCs and Garden Peas says
I could definitely use a special Lady Day! Unfortunately, that may have to come in the New Year – or at least after Christmas!

Someone needs to call my husband…STAT… and tell him all about this wonderful day!!
Jennifer says
I’ve never heard of the term “Terrific Lady Day” but yes yes yes! I think we all need a day to yourself every now and then. I don’t get many though, to be honest. Being a busy mom of 3, I can sometimes lose myself.

I think a Terrific Lady Day is going to go on my calendar each month! My kids are starting to get to an age where I feel like I can step away for a little bit and do something for just me.

I’m not sure that I’ve ever had a terrific lady day for myself. Too many kids, not enough time, it just sucks up every day of my life.
Crystal says
We deserve one. It should be a required holiday.
Paula Bendfeldt Diaz says
I think that treating yourself to a terrific lady day is an awesome idea and the Voveti Prosecco sounds like the ideal drink for it!
Cindy (Prime Beauty) says
I’m more relaxed just reading this!
Shauna says
Now this is my type of day… ha… It seems like the kids are going bonkers this past week and they have been driving me nuts. Ha! I love a great glass with some nice fresh fruit.

Taking time for yourself is so super important! Prosecco is a huge favorite of mine and would make a wonderful addition to any Lady Day.

Denise Gabbard says
Love this….but don’t think there needs to be a reason for a special day every now and then. I call these mental health days.

Cheers! We need to have more lady days – there’s not enough of them. 🙂

Last weekend we were at a restaurant and their feature drink was prosecco. It reminded me that I wanted to give it a try, so on the way we bought a bottle. Now we just need to pop it open too.

Heather lawrence says
Writing this brand name down..I have found myself with the “night off” and this would be the perfect way to relax! Watch a little tv, drink a little wine and unwind after a crazy couple of weeks. Sounds perfect!
Jenn @TheRebelChick says
I laughed my butt off when I heard about the “Lady Day” on The League (best show ever, btw). I have a bottle of Prosecco in the fridge…but it’s only 2:30 – too early to start a lady day, or too late?
Chanelle says
I say too late! Get a move-on! 🙂
Karissa @WithOurBest (@withourbest) says
I could enjoy this by the fire with a blanket and a book! Thanks for the reminder about taking out more me time!

I need a terrific lady day! I think I might just grab a bottle of wine and a little cheese and have myself a good night.
Thanks for the inspiration!
Jenn says
This is just the kind of evening I need to create for myself. Life has just been too busy lately. Thanks for the reminder – I know I can do it all myself. Also, I have to tell you these are some of my favorite photos. Very nice.
Lisa Joy Thompson says
I love the idea of a terrific lady day! My day would consist of a nap, a massage and maybe a trip to a casino. I could play the penny slots for hours! 🙂
Kristi says
That sounds like a relaxing terrific lady day… I take ones of those occasionally. Mine usually consist of going to a movie alone, some shopping at thrift stores and out to eat alone. Just to regroup and not be bugged for a day.
Chanelle says
Your plan for a day to yourself sounds mighty lovely. 🙂
Crystal says
My husband loves The League. He can watch that, and I’ll have a terrific lady day all by myself.
Mary Larsen says
I could use one of these every now and then. I love the emphasis on making this happen rather than waiting on someone else to make it happen for us. Thanks for the nudge!

Jeanette says
I could defiantly use a spoil day like this. It sounds divine! Great idea and I think I might take your advise and do it.
Michele says
I definitely give myself “Lady Days” without the wine. A relaxing hot bath with fragrant bubbles or oils–a couple of good books and I am good for the day. We all need some alone time once in a while.
Heather Johnson says
My lady day would involve peace and quiet by myself. I love my kiddos — but sometimes I just want quiet!
Chanelle says
I hear that!
Robin (Masshole Mommy) says
I love your style, Chanelle! I am always up for a lady day – especially since I have been crazy busy lately.
Dawn Lopez says
Ahhh your Terrific Lady Day sounds magnificent! What a great idea. Especially this time of year we could all use a little downtime to recharge and get ready to have a great holiday!
Heather D. (@GirlGoneMom) says
Nothing wrong with having a party by yoself. Wish I could join you!
Foodie. Wife. Life. says
The League is one of my favorite shows and that prosecco and evening sounds awesome! In fact, I dub today “Terrific Lady Day” and I think I’ll “Snap mah fingas & treat myself” 😉
Chanelle says
Hahah yes!
