Simple Pleasures

I’m all for favorite things and obsessions and what not, but there are so many little parts of my life that make me happy, too.

How could this not make you happy?

How could this not make you happy?

Dogs: Most notably, my dogs. When my mom or dad sends me pictures of them it honestly makes my day. There’s something about their little faces that just puts me in a good mood.

Honey Wheat Pretzel Twists: I’m not even joking when I say that this was my treat whenever I had a bad day at my internship last semester. They’re just so….good. It could be funny, or it could be sad.

New Socks: I’m sorry, but if you don’t love putting on a new pair of fluffy, clean socks, there’s something wrong with you. They make my feet just so…happy. Bonus points for really cute patterned new socks.

Clean Sheets and Pillowcases: My favorite day is laundry day, not because I love doing laundry because I hate it but because I think I sleep a million times better when my sheets and pillowcases are fresh and clean.

Freshly Made Bed: I try to avoid my bed during the day, especially after making this resolution for myself, but, if there’s one thing I do love it’s making my bed perfectly and refluffing my pillows and curling up with my iPad under my napping blanket. And yes, I have a napping blanket.

Green Tea Lemonade: I used to be strongly opposed to Starbucks after a near allergic reaction over 7 years ago. However, necessity and convenience forced me to conquer this aversion and I haven’t looked back. My favorite drink on rough mornings (even in the cold) is a nice green tea lemonade. It’s so good and gives me the perfect pick me up. I always order a grande and I always wish I had a venti. It’s that good.

Thoughtful Texts: Whether they’re from Andrew or my mom or a close friend, a sweet or funny little message when I’m having a rough day will always boost my mood, at least a little. It’s always just nice to know someone’s thinking about you, especially on the days when I hate the world it feels like everyone hates me.
