Doing Little Things That Make You Happy

Good morning loves !

I've been up since 6:46am & I must say I feel great ! I'm typically not a morning person, but I fell asleep early last night & ended up waking up early as well. I've had a small vacation from the real world (a pleasant surprise,) & it's coming to an end. I must say, I have enjoyed it quite a lot because it was needed ! 

I've come the conclusion that if you don't bring yourself joy no one else truly will. You have to find the small things that make you happy....& do them ! Today, I woke up, hung out in bed for a couple hours under my covers. I watched YouTube videos (love makeup tutorials,) got up-heated some leftover homemade pizza at 10am ! Turned on Hulu & watched Mob Wives while I ate pizza for breakfast !! Now, this isn't healthy nor is it something I do every day BUT I was in the mood to do something that made my little soul feel better. Sometimes it's the small things that count ! I challenge you to do something that you've always wanted to do that maybe isn't ordinary- & do it !! You'll surprisingly find that, that one thing makes you happy :-) share in the comments down below your favorite thing you do that you feel is a minor way to bring self joy! Talk to you soon....I'm enjoying some John Mayer right now !!

NEW BLOG & QUICK UPDATE

I didn't realize it has been exactly 11 months since my last post !!! I started this blog to mainly focus on beauty related posts but looking at it this blog is looking a little more personal. So, I went ahead and created a new blog solely focused on that ! I will keep this blog (though I contemplated deleting it) and update you all on what is going on with life in general. I mean it is named after my thoughts. I will talk about person opinions on controversial topics, what is going on in the world, personal updates, etc. Not exactly sure what exactly else there is that I would like to talk about on here. All I know is, is I hope to help you change and somehow inspire you ! Much love, stay blessed xx

Start Living for YOU !

Sooooo it has been almost a year since I last wrote in this blog. Truth is -I have dealt with a lot of events that have changed me as a person and the way I think. It took a lot of emotional turmoil and dwelling to get over it. I am beginning finally accept everything for what it is & move forward !! I have slowly started mapping out my life goals & what I would like to accomplish while I am on this earth. The video above truly inspired me to start living life to its fullest. It is a list of what you should do before you settle down. Now, I don't necessarily agree that you have to be single or in a non serious relationship to do something you have always wanted to do or accomplish a goal you've set your mind on ! No, matter of fact I believe if you maintain a mindset filled with positivity, you can achieve anything you commit yourself to. I have committed to start doing what is on that checklist while adding my own twists to them & probably coming up with some more items to add on that list. I have already achieved #24 which is to keep a journal. I know not many if anyone at all has really read this blog, but if you're reading this-I hope to inspire you someway, somehow to be....YOU! Live it up because life should be lived and LOVED under your own expectations. I remember someone once told me "you are the driver of your life, drive it how you want it and in whatever direction you want to head into." That was some awesome advice. Now I would like you- YES YOU - to make a goal, list, whatever you wanna call it and stick to it. I will keep you updated as I accomplish my list. I know it may take a while, but eventually I will get them done. I will share my stories. Sorry for the late post, I will do my best to update as often as I can. Love yourself & put yourself first. Self love is the best love :-) Watch the video above and comment your thoughts below !
