Sometimes it's all to easy to just focus solely on the big things - whether they be good, bad, dreams, worries. Sometimes we all need to take a step back and get things back into perspective. Combine that with my well-documented love for a good list and that is exactly why for today's post I'm breaking slightly from the usual sort of posts round here to bring you twenty-five small things that make me happy. They're not in any certain order and they're not particularly materialistic-type things that usually make their way onto these parts - that's not to say they don't make me happy, I think we can all agree they do - but for now I just want to focus on the smaller things that in most cases do not cost a thing but make all the difference in tougher times and will always be guaranteed to put a smile on my face...
- Ditsy floral prints. Obvs.
- A plate of my Mum's home cooking. Or any food for that matter.
- My bed. 'Nuff said.
- ...and managing to wake up just before my alarm goes off and I have to get out of it. It's always so much better naturally waking up.
- Having a really productive day.
- Laughing so hard I almost end up crying/ *whispers* having a little wee
- Managing to make my phone battery last all day - a darn hard task sometimes.
- Pamper nights where I basically spend an hour in the bathroom and emerge all preened and pampered.
- Miranda - as in the TV show. Probably my favourite show ever and it still makes me laugh even though I've seen each episode hundreds of times.
- Painting my nails and managing to not make too much of a mess.
- Listening to Girls Aloud and feeling like it's 2006 again.
- My YouTube subscription box when it's full of really good videos. Usually Sundays when pretty much everyone I subscribe to uploads.
- Big family gatherings.
- Finding new blogs that I instantly fall in love with and want to read every post on there.
- Having a really successful day diet/fitness-wise.
- Being inside all cosy when the weather's super-horrible outside - especially at night time.
- Catching up with friends I haven't seen in a while.
- Good hair and makeup days.
- Ticking everything off a to-do list. The classic 'instant happy'.
- Looking at old photos/listening to old songs and instantly feeling full of happy memories of that time.
- Watching my niece and nephew run around with huge smiles on their faces.
- Alone time - sometimes there's nothing better than your own company.
- Putting together a darn good outfit.
- Taking my contacts out at the end of a long day.
- Writing this blog of course!
What small things in life make you happy?
