8 things that make me happy right now
sometimes in the busyness of my life, i forget the simple pleasures that are around me. like right now, whoever is reading this, can use their eyes to see things! what a crazy cool thing that is. anyways, i’ve been stressing myself out a lot lately between school, work, internships, future, everything!! sometimes i like to just slow down. here are 8 things that are making me really happy right now :’)
reusable tumblrs
for christmas, my parents got me the coolest orange tumblr and i love it! then, my best friend, jayden, gave me a purple one for secret santa! Then, i just got the cutest one with a handle! i know its so simple, but taking my water or red bull (my dad is shaking his head at me right now… i love you dad, sorry!!) it is just so fun. plus, i love the discount i get at dutch bros when i bring my tumblr!
2. essential oils
in a previous blog i talked about revive, and well ever since then i’ve been ordering about 3-4 oils every other week, its bad!!! my go-to favorite blend right now is ylang-ylang with lemon and sometimes cedarwood when im feeling adventurous. such a happy and bright blend! also, the peace and calming oil from young living has to be one of my favorite oils of ALL time and i just ran out so im hoping to get a new one soon!! but its just so fun to make a blend for bedtime or right when i wake up (i realize how lame i sound), i feel like a little ~mixologist~ i have this little yellow legal pad that i write down all my blends in lol
3. my heated blanket
i literally cant help but laugh at myself right now as i type this because WOW my life has really come down to the fact that i find so much joy in a heated blanket!!!!! back to the point, my friend kasey was telling me about her heated mattress pad so OBVIOUSLY i was like, “i want that” so i went out and bought a heated blanket. im telling you, turn that baby on before your night shower and get into toasty bed, not much better than that.
4. phone calls with my parents
i think being an only child has made me exceptionally close to my parents. so usually, i call my parents on my way to class, while i drive, at the store, etc. we just talk about our days or what we’re doing at the time. i think my parents are probably annoyed with me but also like the fact that i call them like 90 times a day.
5. the goop lab on netflix
i knew i liked gwenyth paltrow but after this series, i’m obsessed. the whole show is just about maximizing your self for the one life that we have here. the whole goop staff puts themselves through crazy things, its so interesting! after watching the show, i try to take one cold shower a day… its MISERABLE.
6. getting things in the mail
i love getting mail so much, i shop so i can get packages like once a week! this week, i got a billie razor subscription, which i already luv!! a little backpack that my friend bonna got and i liked it so much i got one of my own lol. and then i got those pretty little prints (in the picture above). my dad always sends me letters erg its the sweetest thing ever!!
7. cycling classes
i’ve been to a couple cycling classes here and there but it never will stuck with me. my butt was always too sore after, or i didn’t like the intensity/vibe of the class. however, i took a cycling class at my gym, and i swear i thought i was going to pass out but also the endorphin rush after!!! whew! incredible! the best part? only 45 minutes! i’ve mixed more work out classes into my routine and it just makes me feel so good!
8. making my bed before i leave for the day
it’s such a good feeling coming back after a long day to a clean room! my bubbi used to always tell me to make my bed first thing in the morning, i never really listened but after she passed away, i’ve made my bed every day. it just makes me happy getting it all nice and tidy!
now that you read a brief description of an elderly woman, i hope you have a wonderful day!
thanks for letting me gab!
