Do you play in your daily life? What says “playtime” to you?

Play isn’t just for kids; it’s for anyone who needs a break from the weight of adulting (which, let’s be honest, is all of us). In my life, play shows up in a hundred different ways. Some days, it’s dancing barefoot in the kitchen while waiting for my latte to brew, twirling like I’m in some kind of movie montage. Other days, it’s pulling out my wildest sequins—not for a night out, but just for a trip to the grocery store because why not? There’s something about the sparkle catching the light that instantly lifts my mood.

Playtime is also deeply tied to creativity for me. Writing has always been a way to tap into my imagination, so sometimes I’ll take a detour from structured projects to just jot down something silly, unexpected, or completely out of the box. Then there’s fashion—it’s not just about wearing clothes, but about styling a mood. I’ve spent afternoons mixing textures, trying on outfits I’d never wear out just to see what works. (Spoiler: Velvet and sequins always win.)

And let’s not forget the hilariously unplanned moments that play sneaks into life. Like that time I decided to try a Pinterest baking hack and ended up with cookies that looked like abstract art. Or when I joined my kids in an impromptu snowball fight and got completely soaked but laughed until my sides hurt.

What says “playtime” to me? It’s freedom. Freedom to be silly, creative, and unapologetically myself. It’s letting go of the need to be polished and productive for a little while and simply enjoying the moment.

For me, play is more than a distraction—it’s fuel. It keeps me inspired, connected to my family, and in touch with that childlike spark that makes life fun. So yes, I play—and I play often. Because life is better when you add a little glitter, a little laughter, and a whole lot of joy.

What about you? How do you bring play into your life?
