A week of happy #7


1. My friends – being home this weekend I was able to meet up for coffee with someone who means an awful lot to me. It was so so lovely to see her, catch up, have a laugh, and just chat – sometimes I think she knows me better than I know myself, I'm so glad to have people like her in my life. I also got to see my best friend and so that’s always hilarious (especially when he dances around a car park).

2, “I’m in my mums car, broom broom” – if you’ve seen this video then you’ll completely know what I’m talking about. If you’ve been living under a rock, here’s a link to it for you. I’m obsessed with it, and all the little things that have come from it. I tweeted about it a few days ago and it was RT’d by someone; within a few hours it had reached 200+ favourites. (thisis link to that tweet)

3. Laughing – I’ve spent this weekend with my grandparents and we like to play cards (a lot). It’s so funny and my Grandad and I have such a similar sense of humour that we just feed off of each other’s energy. At one stage I was on the floor crying my eyes out over a little joke – it was a ‘you had to be there’ moment, so I won’t bore you! I actually felt sick after laughing so hard which very rarely happens.

4. Not being hot in bed – it’s been ridiculously hot in the UK recently, but for the past few nights I’ve actually been able to snuggle down in to my duvet which is blissful!

5. Coffee – it’s such a comfort for me and with it being cooler I’ve been able to enjoy it a lot more which I’m super happy about. I like mine white with 1.5 sugars (the .5 really does make the difference!).

6. Greek yoghurt – it’s healthy and taste amazing! I love the one’s with the fruit compot as it just gives it a little extra flavour and sweetness.

7. Josh Record’s new album ‘Pillars’ – perfect for the summer. It’s light and airy and just the perfect accompaniment to any good summer chill-out day. My favourite song is definitely “Find Her Way To Me”. His voice is so velvety and gorgeous! It does good things to my soul.

8. Pinterest – I know I said it quite recently, but boy-oh-boy I’m hooked. Seriously I cannot even find words to describe how in love I am with it. It’s the first thing I do when I wake up, the last thing I do before I go to bed. Whenever I am bored I just find myself pinning away inspirational quotes, or funny meme’s, bedroom décor, and wedding ideas (I’m single – not getting married any time soon. Is it ever too early though?).

9. Quotes – it kind of links back to the Pinterest thing, but I’ve always been a sucker for a good quote. I’ve been feeling pretty lost for the past few weeks they definitely help ground me, and I find they just make things make sense.

10. Having some ‘me’ time – I didn’t post anything over the weekend for a few reasons. One of the main reasons is that I just needed a bit of a break and to get in touch with my reality again. I adore writing and so I’m never going to give it up. It’s just that from time to time you need a bit of R&R time. There’s nothing wrong with being a little selfish after all.

A week of happy #5


1. The weather - quite simply it has been glorious. A mixture of everything, the sun has shone, and there have been dramatic downpours, thunder and lightening - it's just been a right ol' mixed bag. 

2. Making changes - I'm fully aware this could sound a little callous - trust me it's not meant to. But this past week I decided that it was time to focus on making myself happier and some things just weren't working out. So even though I know other people were affected by the changes I made, I knew they had to be made for everyone involved to be happier - there's no need to carry on being unhappy just for the sake of it after all!

3. PINTEREST - I love this, so bloody much I can't even tell you. I've only just properly got in to it but I'm already a bit hooked. You can follow me here and see me pin pretty pictures/quotes and lots and lots of peonies!

4. Barbecue's - Friday night we had a little barbecue and it was just heavenly - burgers, sausages and salad galore! It's just the most perfect addition to a beautiful summers evening. 

5. Walking around the golf course - my Mum has recently taken up golf as a hobby, therefore to spend ANY time with her I have to accompany her around the 9 hole. No, in all honesty I love it. In the evening I stroll around the course bare-footed and take in the gorgeous scenery and evening breeze, it's blissful (until she hits you with a golf club that is... yes, it's really happened!).

6. Brownies - in my blogpost yesterday I spoke all about these, so I won't go off on one again about them, just trust my honest opinion that they are the best thing I have ever put in my mouth (insert dirty-minded pun here...). 

7. Dresses - yes, I got my legs out IN PUBLIC on Friday and I did not currrr. It was so nice to just get 'um out and get a bit of sun on them. The dress I wore was this one and it's served me very well so far!

8. Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging soundtrack - I adored the film, and even though it's a few years old now, I still the soundtrack is perfect for a summers day! It makes me such a happy little chappy :) 

9. Mary Berry's salad dressing - can I please get a hallelujah for this stuff. It transforms any salad in to the best darn thing I've ever eaten (apart from the brownies, obviously!). I got mine from Tesco's, but I'm sure they sell it all over. SRSLY, get some, it this one if you're interested. 

10. Sunsets - I mentioned earlier that the weather has been perfect, well so has some of the beautiful sunsets we've had - this is just one of them and I am completely in awe of it. It makes me feel really reflective and humble for everyone and everything I have in my life. 
 I've feel like I've been so sassy in this post, it's just because I'm very very content and happy right at this moment <3
What's made you happy this week? xx
