How To Spend a Day like Ariel from the Little Mermaid
Fridays are my Disney Princess Inspiration Days, where I spend the day embodying the energy of a different Disney Princess to bring more magic into my life. It helps me stay present, connect with the unique energy of each princess, and structure my day in new and exciting ways.
This past Friday was my best one yet—because I spent the entire day inspired by Ariel from The Little Mermaid! Here’s exactly what I did, how it ties into Ariel’s story, and how you can infuse a little extra Disney Princess magic into your day, too.
🧜♀️ Morning Magic: Rise and Shine Like Ariel
I started my day with:
A loving kindness meditation
An intention: “Today, I follow my curiosity and let joy lead the way.”
A Disney-inspired outfit: green pants and a purple top (my shell bra is in the laundry 😄)
🌊 Explore the Surface World
Next, I went on a morning walk in the sunshine with The Little Mermaid soundtrack playing in my headphones.
I stopped by a smoothie shop and got a tropical smoothie with spirulina (aka mermaid algae)
I took my smoothie on a seaside path stroll, soaking up the view like Ariel gazing at the shore
🧘♀️ Pilates Under the Sea
When I got home, it was time for some graceful, ocean-inspired movement.
I did a gentle Pilates session
Some moves felt like I was literally a fish out of water, which made it even more fun!
I hydrated like a proper mermaid afterward 🫧
🛁 Ariel’s Bubble Bath Moment
Then came my favorite moment: my shower ritual—aka my version of a royal bubble bath.
A long, steamy shower
Moisturizer, perfume, and a little self-care glam
I brushed my hair with a "dinglehopper" (yes, really 🐚)
🎨 Crafting in the Grotto
After lunch, it was time to retreat to my version of Ariel’s treasure cove:
I worked on bead embroidering my Taylor Swift Eras Tour tote bag using beads from friendship bracelets I got at her concerts
I listened to Taylor Swift music while I crafted
Surrounded by glittering beads, I totally felt like Ariel with her human treasures
🎥 A Princess Movie Screening
Next up: the star of the day—watching The Little Mermaid with fresh eyes.
I aimed to see it with a beginner’s mind and let it spark new inspiration
I reflected on themes of voice, longing, transformation, and following your heart
📓 Journaling + Reflection
After the movie, I journaled about:
What resonated most from Ariel’s journey
My own creative voice, curiosity, and dreams
How I could carry that energy into my own life and business
💫 A Royal Evening Date
To wrap up the day:
I got ready for dinner with my fiancé
I imagined I was Ariel and he was Prince Eric, and we were off for a royal seaside date
✨ Why Try a Disney Princess Day?
Spending a full day immersed in Ariel’s energy helped me:
Stay present
Feel more grateful and magical
Reconnect with my creativity, play, and joy
If you ever feel stuck in a routine or disconnected from your inner sparkle, I highly recommend planning your own Disney Princess day!
