My Top Ten Happy Things :)

-






































So, this isn't a post about something new...but it's just a fun one. So for today, I'm going to list the top ten things that make happy, no matter what mood I'm in!

1) Being with friends/family. Even just talking with them usually gets me in a good mood pretty quickly. I forget about my problems and just lose myself in the conversation.

2) Reading a book. Now I know for some people this won't work, but for me it does. It always has, I guess 'cause I can just forget about what I was upset about and just lose myself in the book. Just make sure that the book isn't going to make you cry, 'cause that doesn't really improve your mood.

3) Listening to music. This usually does the same as books for me. Singing along usually makes it even better :-)

4) Being with my cat. Her purr could make anyone's day ten times better, so cuddling with her definitely helps.

5) Playing music. I play guitar, piano, and clarinet...so playing one of those makes me happier, or at least in a better mood, since I just focus on what I'm playing.

6) Sleeping. Take it from a sleep lover: sleeping your worries off definitely helps!

7) Writing. I, for one, enjoy writing a lot, so this helps to take my mind off whatever is making me upset.

8) Thinking about things that make me happy. This may seem kind of obvious and maybe even slightly overused...but it's true. It really does work.

9) Exercising. Besides being good for you, it really does make you feel better. Score! :)

10) Doing something exciting/spontaneous. Even if it's just a trip to the mall...it can still be fun! Just think of something random...and do it! Listen to something new, go somewhere you haven't before...or hang out with someone you haven't really hung out with before! You might be surprised, it can be really fun if you let it! And it takes your mind off whatever was bothering you.

So, there you have it! Ten things that make me happy. Do you do any of these things? Or are there anymore you can think of? Let me know in the comments! I want to know :) Anyways, I gotta go now so...'till next time!

Hey hey hey! How are you all? So, it's Sunday! Meaning, I'M BACK :)))) Okay, so I thought I'd do a combination post, since I only got one question haha :D So first for the question from  +Paige Petrovsky  : What made you want to start a blog ? THANKS FOR YOUR QUESTION :))))))  I had always kind of wanted to do something like this, before I started. I loved (and still love) writing, and photography. I had just read Zoella's book, Girl Online, and so decided that it would be super cool to start a blog myself!! And here we are, two years later, still lovin' it :)) Alright. Now, I'm super excited to be doing a tag today!!!! The lovely  Sweet Treats  nominated me for the Mystery Bloggers Award!! A massive thank you to them, I'm honoured!! You should definitely go check out their blog cause it is pretty freaking awesome!! :) Also, the creator of this award is  Okoto Enigma , who is also pretty cool!!

  Hello! Long time no see, haha oops. It's been a minute. So today, I wanted to do a mini recap on my fave shows so far since quarantine! I'm sure I'm not alone in watching significantly more netflix since quarantine began lol. However, I wanted to give it a bit of a twist. So without further ado, I give you my quarantine thus far, as told through TV shows. Friends/The Goodwife - March/April/May Okay this is back when quarantine first began. My life consisted of watching Friends, doing schoolwork, procrastinating, doing more schoolwork, watching the Goodwife, and studying for exams. I can't actually remember which one I watched first - I think I watched them together. Luckily by this time there wasn't too much schoolwork left haha. But I watched all of both these shows those 3 months...I was a bit obsessed if you can't tell. But the episodes for friends were only 20ish minutes long! I would 100% recommend both of these shows though, amazing pieces of work.  10/1...

Heeey y'all. Sorry I'm late again :/ I always think I'll have time to post on the weekends but I always have too much homework D: I have a little time now though, so I thought I'd try and post :) It's that time of year. It's dreary, dark, wet/snowy (depending on where you live I guess haha), and it seems to be a common theme, to lose inspiration during winter. BUT NO MORE!!! For I have come to you with 7 tips on staying inspired throughout winter!!! SO LEGGO!!! :) 1. Set goals. If you have something to work towards, I think it's much easier to get through these months.
