8 things for may
hello hello! i wish i could say things have been crazy lately but things are pretty relaxed in my world right now. i just finished finals (yay)! and just spending time with my people here. anyways, here are 8 things that make me happy right now.
pool days
there are few things better than laying on a floatie in a pool on a hot day. i love the feeling of the sun kissing my skin, that slight little burn haha. it’s nice listening to music or even just laying in silence. hearing the trees softly sway. and then the meal after a pool day?! and that nap!!! the best.
tequila
ok i know how this sounds… i don’t know what it is about this time, but everyone i know or follow is just drinking the days away, and i am one of them haha. i used to swear i was a vodka gal. but i went to a convention a while ago and there was a tequila tasting area, and after that it was over. i just think tequila adds that extra oomph needed. my favorite drink right now is tequila, pineapple juice with lime juice. soooo good.
letters
i’ve been writing letters back and forth with my friends and it just makes my day when i receive a letter in the mail. i love sending them out, drawing their names on the front, and sending them off. i’ve always loved writing letters. i remember before i moved to vegas i went to paper source (the best store ever) and bought a whole bunch of stationary and would send my friends and family letters all the time.
bleaching my clothes
i have shamelessly fallen into the trap of bleaching every article of clothing i own. seriously, it was so bad! i would pick up these $5 hoodies from walmart, and go to town. i think i have 4 bleached hoodies that i just wear every day!!
spending time with my mom at the flower shop
my mom works at a flower shop here and sometimes i go and hang out with her and she’ll work as i just sit around and play with the shop dog (bessie), and paint. sometimes when it gets too hot in the shop i’ll go in the flower cooler and it’s so nice! we will usually just eat and talk haha. it makes my day. plus the woman gives the best hugs so i really go for those.
trader joe runs
we don’t have a trader joes, rip. but anyways i went up there like a week ago and stocked up on all my favorite snacks there. it truly made my day walking through and just picking things up. i mean it felt weird because there was like 3 people in the store and i had a mask and gloves on, but still… it kind of felt normal.
watching movie collections
right now i am going through the lord of the ring movies, then the hobbit. i watched the entire hunger game movies, which brought me back to 7th grade gab who would write fan fiction. YES, i was that girl. i want to watch the twilight saga too, it’s been too long since i’ve seen them. but anyways, watching movie collections is like binge watching a tv show but with more investment in my opinion.
jump roping
i remember jump roping every day at school, doing double dutch with my friends, it was my favorite!! who remembers the corbin blue movie about jump roping?! i got a jump rope and it wears me out haha. seriously, i will try to go on a roll and it is EXHAUSTING. at first my ankles were so sore and i kept thinking, “how did i do this for hours when i was little?” i remember tying a rope to my tree and making my parents do the other side so i can jump rope— only child tingz. they were troopers.
so those are my 8 things that give me simple little joys in my life. i hope you all can find those little joys. i hope you all have hundreds of things that make you all so happy.
