50 Things That Make Me Happy

50 Things That Make Me Happy

You know those days when you feel down, and you just can’t seem to think of one thing that makes you happy? I’ve recently had a few of those. The gloomy, dark weather is upon us here in Northern England and if you add in some home-sickness, missing my boyfriend, family and dog, it can be a terrible combination. I wanted to jot down a few things that make me smile, for when those winter blues start taking their toll…

Here’s the countdown:

50. Figure skating

49. Chipotle

48. A really delicious and creamy cappuccino

47. Eating Nutella out of the jar

46. The endorphins and high you feel after accomplishing something at the gym

45. Receiving letter in the post

44. Goats cheese in my salad

43. Planning for my next trip/adventure

42. Receiving birthday cards/valentine’s day cards/any occasion cards

41. Putting on my nightly face cream (it feels so darn good! I use Nspa Ever Youthful Bouncy Night Cream and it is amazing!)
