Good Times At All Times :)

Thursday again ! 

I've been thinking about what the days of the week mean to me this week ... that sounds weird and probably doesn't make much sense but let me explain :) I noticed on Monday that I was in a good mood, usually in my head if I think Monday I think; blue, good or fresh start . This Monday I decided that I would think of Mondays as good . Tuesday reminds me of a great blog I read called BeNiceItsTuesday so on Tuesdays I will try and focus extra hard on being nice and aim to leave a hopeful note somewhere or change in a vending machine, just something nice like that :) Wednesdays automatically reminded me of oranges ... mainly because of Odeon orange Wednesday deals aha . But I decided as oranges are lovely and fresh that Wednesdays would be fresh starts ! Thursdays , I struggled with so I've decided that it will be positive Thursday :) Fridays I'm thinking will be Fairy Fridays because I think they'd be a good day to try and see the wonder and magic in everything <3 I haven't decided how I want to think about Saturdays and Sundays yet but I guess I need to channel the majority of my positivity into school days so I will consider them at a later date :) 

I'm not sure if that was understandable or relevant but I thought it might help inject some magical positivity into my outlook on the week :) What do you think about the way we look at the week ? Comment ways you think you could pop a lil bit more happiness or kindness into your week <3 

I know today was meant to be a top ten pins post but I have changed the schedule a lil bit again and this kind of balances it out . So from now on Mondays will be a post about whatever I fancy, DIY's, Books and Positivity ! Thursdays or Fridays will be a Top Ten Weekly Pins post for the first three weeks of every month but the fourth of the month will be a monthly favourites :) I Hope you don't mind the new schedule and that you enjoy the new stuff I've got planned ! There's definitely going to be some valentines DIY's coming up in the next two weeks so be sure to check back for that <3 

Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley :)

Self Esteem Penguin !

Happy Thursday !! 

Today I over heard someone call to someone else as they walked off, " Have a positive day!" and that made me smile :) So here's this weeks top ten pins to try make you smile  <3 

This is sooooo cute ! And easy ! I'm definitely going to start making these as gifts :) 

I have no words ... 

The Doctor... quoted Mary Poppins... I'm not sure I can handle how weirdly happy this is making me ! This is not how normal people should react ... I probably need medicine for my weirdness , and a spoon full of sugar to make it go down ;) 

Always something to remember :) This reminds me of a video Carrie Hope Fletcher did a while ago called "Easier Said Than Done" Which is great and you should definitely check it out :)

Important messages brought to you by a penguin... look at him waving his little flippers around ! ^.^

Less than a month till Valentine day ! I will be putting this to good use <3 

soooo if I love fairy dust then is that extra strong magic then ? Because for a teenager, I buy and awful lot of fairy dust :) 

Can this be my excuse for wearing my sparkly car ears in public ? Don't judge me aha Carrie has a pair so I wanted some ;) 

How do these all work ? This is some weird hedgehog-ology that I don't know about ! I really need a hedgehog now , I've always wanted a hedgehog :) My birthdays July 19th if anyone knows where they can get me a hedgehog aha ;) 

oooo new challenge for the week ! Tell one person that you love them each day of this week :) Even if you just leave "I love you" on a post it note for a stranger, wouldn't that be nice ? <3

I hope you have a lovely week :) Comment your favourite pin and if you want some more positivity from pinterest then you can follow me here for quotes, happy stuff and cute things all week long :) 

Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley :) 

Check back on  Monday for a new DIY post ^.^

Silver Linings :)

Heyyy :)

It's no secret that I love positivity ( hence the positivity blog aha ) Some times loads of bad things happen and it's really difficult to see through them because in those moments nothing seems good and the whole world feels really rubbishy and super sad . But in the last 6 months I have set myself the challenge of looking for the good or at least the good that's massively outweighed but I promise you is in there somewhere :) The phrase " Every cloud has a silver lining " is passed around a lot but I noticed that no one seems to say it until something actually happens and the good thing becomes clearly apparent . But the good thing doesn't always just show itself , sometimes you have to find it and more often than not it is incredibly difficult to find ! So that means you should just deal with the sad and wait for something to make you happy right ? Wrong :) Silver linings are what get you through tough days and hold together the cracks on your heart, keeping them from dropping to broken fragments lying on the floor <3 They can be well hidden but they're well worth it :)

 I made this picture to stick on my wall to remind me in case I forget to look , that they're always there . For example . If you were playing guitar on stage for loads of people and you messed up and they now think your playing is awful and you're really embarrassed and upset then the silver lining is that next time, if you play it right because you've improved then they'll be even more impressed than they would've been if you'd played it perfectly first time round :) That's just an example ( It hasn't happened to me ) to show how you can twist anything in your mind to make it a positive situation or at least slightly better :) After all it's your mind that assumed the situation was negative ;) 

So give it a go and please comment anything that happened to you that was rubbish but you found a way to put a positive twist on it :) 

Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley :) 

Don't forget to check back later in the week for my weekly top 10 pins post :)

Skincare Routines :)

Hey there beautiful :) 

So Starting back at school or work after the Christmas holidays can be stressful, tiring and simply not as nice as staying in bed all day, eating chocolate and day dreaming about the new years resolution gym membership that you're definitely going to get tomorrow... yeah tomorrow .. 

It's no big beauty secret that stress is less than beneficial for your skin. So as I said in my 'New Years Resolutions' post , this year I want to get into a good skincare routine so I thought I'd share it with you and show you some of my favourite skin care products :) 

I'm not sure if it's that I'm too busy or too lazy or a bit of both , but I always forget to take my make up off which is hardly fantastic for my skin so I'm keeping all my make up wipes and skin care things next to my bed so I can do it without even moving at night so there will be no excuses ! Also for this reason, I'm keeping this skin care routine really simple ... and as cheap as possible whilst still being worth while . 

1) Remove make up !  
I'm not particularly picky about make up wipes but I prefer them to be for sensitive skin and as I only wear water proof mascara because my eyes water a lot ( I use 'Miss Sporty 24hr Pump Up Booster Water Proof Mascara' ) I need make up wipes to remove water proof mascara which anyone who wears it knows, is an absolute nightmare to get off ! Simple Kind To Skin make up wipes have 25 in a pack at £3.25 and are probably the best make up wipes I've tried :) Definitely my Favourite ! 

2) Cleanse ! 
I love Simple's Purifying Cleansing Lotion which is £3.29 in Superdrug :) It works even better if you can use it in the mornings as well . Just pop some of the cleansing lotion onto a cotton wool pad and move it over your face in upwards and downwards motions :) 

3) Tone ! 

This sounds weird but I really like using toner because it makes your face go all tingly and that amuses me , does anyone else get that ? ... no ? oh, okay then aha :) Toners shrink pores and rejuvenate your skin but mainly improves the appearance of your skin :) Boots Simply Sensitive Gently Refreshing Toner is £2.69 but right now it's half price so it's the Ideal time to start looking after YOU <3 

4) Moisturise ! 
This is the last thing  and my favourite product that I'm putting in this post :) The Simple Clear Skin Oil Balancing Moisturiser is £4.25 at Superdrug and will keep your skin nourished and as wonderful as you :) 

And that's it done ! This doesn't take me for than 2 minutes so it's perfect when you can't be bothered to do anything but sleep ;)

Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley :) 

I hope you have a lovely week :) filled with happiness and trying <3 

Much Love, Love Much-ly

#100happydays :day 23

Helloo :)

Oh my gosh I'm sooo tired aha :) As I've already written one post today because of not posting yesterday ( I explain here ) it turned out longer than expected so I will keep this short to avoid falling asleep at school tomorrow ... again ;) So today as I have mentioned I was practically asleep for the morning and to be honest a little bit moody. I didn't really notice anything good about the day until I got home and realised it was actually an okay day when I thought about it and all the things being moody made me miss like getting given the position of prefect, my science teacher showing me kindness and not getting annoyed about me sleeping in her lesson ;) a woman smiling at me when I held the gate for her and best of all my amazing mum bought me a new onesie ! :D But this isn't just any onesie . Oh no this is a Thumper from Bambi onesie ! Literally the best present ever :) So I think it's important to remember to never give up on a day and just label it as a bad day because there's still time to make it better . Please don't waste too much of that time being sad about something you can't change because you never know how much time you have ...isn't that an optimistic thought aha :) I'm sure you have lots of time left but I'm just saying,  just in case and lots of people would give a lot for your time so use it wisely because there's no point in having something as beautiful as a life and not using it :)

So today's quote is one that is simple but really made me think :

“Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?”

― Mary Oliver

I also found a really nice blog today that's written by three hopefuls :) I really like the style and I thought their content was good so I thought Id share it with you :) So click here if you fancy trying out a new blog that has provided my with a few smiles this week :)

Good night :)
Remember to Stay String <3 Stay Smiley :)
Just want to quickly point out that you're amazing and should absolutely under no circumstances change for anyone <3

#100happydays: day 15

Good afternoon :)

 

How are we all today?  :) I'm grand if anyone wondering in fact " I'm on a roller coaster that only goes up " :) you have no idea how desperate I was to quote that haha :) I've been re-reading The Fault in our Stars by John Green before the film comes out this week . I'm about half way through and actually finding it painful to continue reading whilst being aware of the tragedy I know awaits me, drawing closer and closer with every page I turn ... yet I can't turn them fast enough :) If anyone reading hasn't read it ... just go and read it I can't say anything that will make you love the book more that reading it :) You wont regret it .

 

Today's been nice I hope your today has also been nice because then you will be smiley and smiling's good :) I'm sure your beautiful when you smile ... well beautiful-er <3 cheesy but true . Wearing your smile whether your feeling it or forcing it ; smiling's proven to make you feel better and I guess if you smile at someone else whether it's a friend or a stranger they will quite likely smile back and then they will feel happier because they're smiling and BAM you've just set off a chain reaction of smiling and people feeling better , aren't you a fantastic human being ;) 17 muscles, one tiny movement , it's not that much effort but it could do so much  :) So a quick challenge, not even a challenge because it's so easy but worth while all the same : Smile at someone, anyone just let them know that you're happy and it's okay for them to be too :) I found a blog that seems pretty positive and I really enjoyed reading here if you have time you should definitely check it out :)

 

“Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.”
― Thích Nhất Hạnh

 

of smiling and happiness; My #100happydays today was kind of difficult to choose , there were lots of things but none of them are massive but little things make up big days :) In the end I chose a photo of a box of quotes a friend gave me at Christmas, she found them , wrote them out ( I'm mean like a hundred of them or something ridiculously sweet) , and gave them to me to keep me smiling.. I have to admit , I cried ( I know it's ironic) But happy tears I promise you ;) I have kept them and looked through them when I'm down. Today I decided my room needed brightening up so I stuck up a world map to remind me if things aren't always going so well here it doesn't even matter how bad it is because I have the rest of the world to explore , a lot more people to meet and so many more smile's to come...I think that's a important thing to remember :) I then found some blue tack and stuck all the quotes to my door to make it like a doorway of positivity :) I only got about a third the way down but I'm going to write up some more quotes and get to half the door and then I think I will find a positive poster to cover the bottom half :) If anyone knows any good quotes to use for this sort of thing then please feel free to comment them :)

 

Remember to Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley :)

If your having a bad day try making a box of positive quotes, it will distract you from the bad day and you will have something to turn to if you get another bad day :)

Much love, love much-ly

#100happydays: day 12

Good Evening All :) 

I hope you are well and filled with positivity and smiles ... if your not check out my #100happydays: day 4 blog post, I left one of my spare smiles for you there so feel free to use it any time :) Erghh I just did self promotion within my own blog ... that wasn't intended honestly you don't have to read it or anything  haha I mean if you do that's great and very lovely of you but feel free to just take the free smile and ex the page ... why not ? free stuffs cool everyone likes free stuff ;)

Right now I should probably say something interesting or at least valid ...I'll try my best but as you know; I spend a lot of time living amongst my own thoughts of which are a conveyor belt of Carrie Hope Fletcher and Llamas ( My friend has a llama army of 5003 llamas's in her head .. the last 3 are paramedics :) ) What am I even meant to be talking about ... oh yeah #100happydays umm can't we just talk about ice cream . I really like ice cream especially Ben and Jerry's. People tell me that I can't eat a whole tub to myself because it's like a billion calories ... but let me tell you It's so worth every single one of those calories :) Anyway's I can burn it off with a the diet starts tomorrow workouts as I call them ;) My favourite Ben and Jerry's is probably the Half baked one because its got all those amazing mouth-watering cookie dough bits but this time it's in chocolate ice cream so the whole things one big taste sensation ! The brownie bit's are just a fantastic bonus ;) 

Just to give you an insight into how quickly my mind wonders ... This post was meant to be about being healthy and stuff but oh well maybe I'll do it another day because I really do want to do some posts about fitness ect. if you'd be interested but I want to make it clear that happiness is most important . Do what makes you happy because I care about you honestly , i pinkie promise that i care about you and love you so and you're happiness means a lot to me <3 The reason I'm into fitness is that a while ago I was very uncomfortable with myself and I wasn't happy because I was self-concious and to be honest just very negative ... That's not a way to live because there is no need to live like that . Positivity is an attitude choice and you can make that choice , I guarantee you will feel better for it :) Fitness is simply a way of helping to boost your positivity because it realises endorphins which put you on a natural high ... warning when I'm being even slightly technical I think and hope it's right but it's me sooo it could be wrong ;) There are lots of ways to boost positivity , maybe I will do I blog with a list ( woooo lists ) of my happy boosters or something like that :) 

Furthermore if nothing else.. I agree with Herm Albright :

"A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort"

- Herm Albright

I kinda want to follow this by quoting the Madagascar penguins with " Smile and wave boys, Smile and wave" but I dont think that's relevant ... It makes sense in my head ;)

If anyone's confused; my #100happydays was the treat of a Ben and Jerry's ice cream .. I actually didn't eat any tonight but we bought it in for tomorrow night so I could eat it while watching a movie so it's more the plans it symbolises that makes me happy ... Okay please excuse me, I realise how utterly ridiculous I am when I'm tired I'm very sorry for talking about symbolic ice cream haha ;) 

On That note I think it might be time for me to go to bed,

Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley :)

I hope your feeling a little more positive .. If nothing else you got a free smile I guess ;) 

Much love, Love much-ly

#100happydays: day 11

 

Helloooo :)

 

Interesting fact ... well not that interesting if I'm being honest with you but its really cute :

Baby hedgehogs are called hoglets :D

 

I feel better now I've told someone that :) Now , on with the post . Today's #100happydays changed about ten minutes ago when I got a text from my friends saying "have a look in your bag" so I did ... I found an origami hearts just like the ones I frequently make with letters in an put in people's bags ... she'd done the same for me :) I don't mean just a note though, I mean a full on letter and it was beautiful and it meant so much to me :)

 

 

Hopeful notes are something I'm extremely passionate about as you would probably of guessed from the amount I talk/ waffle about them ;)
However when you know someone personally and you know they really aren't feeling great well perhaps you know them well enough to write them a  whole letter :) Letters aren't as commonly written nowadays with the ever increasing use of social media and mobile phones ( don't get me wrong I use them a lot and I think they're fabulous inventions) However I do love a good letter :) I think they're wonderful to receive and great to write ... I like to write mine with each paragraph in a different coloured pen , just to brighten it up ;) In addition too my love for letters and coloured pens I love stationary and projects ... you know those people who get annoying enthusiastic about a new project they've taken on. So they just dance around as the positivity of a new passion rains down on them , the good sort of rain where you can already see the rainbow before it stops because the sun's shining so bright ... yeah I'm one of them :) I've been to WHSmith's because you can't start a project without new stationary that's the rule right ? That better be the rule ... If it's not I've well umm consider it officially changed so that is the rule because seriously any chance for new stationary especially notebooks is like someone handing me a ticket to heaven .. I did warn you I was one of those ;) So firstly I'm going to try and write a letter to a friend once a week. Just one that looks like they need ; as Jodi Ann Bickley calls it " a hug in a envelope" .Secondly there is a fantastic website called PostPals that allows you to write to seriously ill children which you can find here : http://www.postpals.co.uk/
Imagine how much a surprise letter could brighten the day of an ill child or a sibling. It takes like ten minutes to write a letter. I'm always saying how we don't know how many minutes we have left but for a lot of these children they're pretty sure they have less minutes than us and I think it would be awesome if we could put a smile on their faces for some of those minutes :)

So let's try brighten some days :)
"To send a letter is a good way to go somewhere without moving anything but your heart." 
-Phyllis Theroux
Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley :)
I hope you have a lovely day and write letters enjoying some wonderful stationary ;)

#100happydays: day 10

Good Afternoon :)

I know, I know ... It's a miracle that I'm writing this and its not even eleven at night yet ;)

Today's been tiring ( actually I say that quite a lot... maybe it's just me an I need to go bed earlier instead of writing midnight blog's aha ) However today I've spent a lot of time at the hospital doing blood tests and being poked and prodded all day :/ "SUCH FUN" ... sorry, I just couldn't resist slipping a Miranda reference in there :) Nothing serious tho. 

Despite being shattered on the way home ( woo got the afternoon off school to revise... *cough* YouTube *cough* ;) ) On they out of the hospital i noticed a market stall selling fruit and veg' and ... STRAWBERRIES :D Have I ever told you how much I love strawberries because I really really really love strawberries ... a lot :) I love the sweetness and the freshness colliding together in your mouth in moments of amazingly perfect bliss .... You know how yesterday I said you couldn't become a perfect human being ... well the doesn't apply to strawberries as they can very clearly become objects beyond perfection. 

BLISS , Ruby Red Succulent BLISS :)

I know you wont believe this... but it actually gets even better :) I then experienced a random act of kindness by the man who was selling me them . It may seem so small and I sincerely doubt he knew how much I appreciated it but as I paid for my strawberries the man handed me them and then saw that I was carrying paper work and prescriptions in my bag so he got me a bag and said this should make it easier to carry all that :) I'm aware of how small this is ... I'm also aware it was a nice thing to do that he didn't have to do and I was most definitely grateful for him to do :) This just proves that if you catch the right person with your Random act of kindness on what for them wasn't a particularly great day .. You might just make their day. In fact its very , very likely :)

Kindness is for everyone , Everyone can receive it and everyone can give it ... If we all did then everyone would receive it and if everyone's day was made by a random act of kindness in dark times just think how much happier the world would be :) 

“Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.” 
― Mark Twain


So how about you leave a hopeful note ? Or smile at a stranger ? Or send a loving text to a friend who's not feeling great ... However small your random act of kindness it will be soooo appreciated :) Plus you will probably feel happy because of making someone else happy so yayyy its win, win :D 

Byes 
have a nice day 
Much love, Love much-ly :)

#100happydays: day 4

Helloo :)

 

How are you today ?

 I hope your feeling good . You know why ?

because I love you :) and because you should be feeling good because you my friend are alive .

 

Okay... that got a little deep for an opening sentence but the point stands :) I want you to know that no matter how you feel you need to stay strong, positive and smiley because you're worth it and it will get better . However this isn't what I wanted to talk about . As much as I care about you, I want you to think ; when I need a smile what could someone say to me , either a friend or a stranger to make me smile just a little bit ... and go say it to someone else who needs it .

 

whhhhhyyyyy ? I hear you ask :) well:

 

1) Its nice and its not costing you anything but it might just make their day when they really need it. 

 

2) Maybe... just maybe someone might do the same for you :)

 

3) I guarantee you will feel a little better for making someone smile . They say trust is a two way street, well happiness can be too .

 

And voila ! You both feel better :) it's definitely worth it .

 

The reason I'm talking about this is because today my #100happydays picture is a cropped screenshot of a text my friend sent me after a singing lesson of mine didn't go so well. The important thing is she boosted my confidence, she made me smile and it really meant a lot . Another important thing to remember is that I know she wasn't feeling particularly great either today but she still found time to try and make me feel better.

How you make people feel is important , being happy is important and you can make someone happy! So go and make someone happy, be the reason they smile ... be the little bit of good in their day :) In the words of an amazing poet :

“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel"
- Mary Angelou

One person who is constantly bringing smile's to the people's face's who need it the most, whom has actually made it her life to do so is Jodi Ann Bickley :) This wonderfully inspiring woman created a website 15 months ago after becoming ill causing her to stay in her house and the majority of the time in her bed. On her website she stated " this is a call out. To every other person other than me on the planet - I’m going to write you a letter. A letter just to make the day a bit better or to remind you of the bloody amazing stuff about you that you’ve forgotten because we all forget once in a while". Ms Bickley has written "3000" letters in the last 15 months and currently has 4000 more waiting to be written :) All I ask of you today is to leave one post it note with a nice message on for a stranger or a friend ....If they don't have a smile lend them one of yours , if you don't have a smile; here have one of mine ^  

So I hope you've had a nice day too and that you might now feel like making someone else's day a bit nicer :) If you would like to help Jodi Ann Bickley in her "One Million Lovely Letters " Project then I will leave the links to her website and her kickstarter page here :

#100happydays: day 3

Good night :) 

I know this is very late however I've had a very busy night, a good day :) but busy . I will have to make this quick an I'm sorry about that but i will make it better tomorrow , pinkie promise ;) A lot of good things happened today even if the day didn't start out great with losing my favourite earrings, bursting into tears and having an English exam .... but it got better :) My English teacher bought in lots of chocolaty breakfast treats which was really nice of her , my mum found my earring's ( I swear mums be given some sort of magic finding things power when giving birth ) the exam went no where near as badly as I expected , I saw my boyfriend and then I came home to find  my sister had bought me some heart shaped post it notes for me to use as hopeful notes :) 

So remember, even if a day starts out bad it don't have to finish that way . It's up to you and your attitude to change it :) 

" everyone wants happiness,  no one wants pain. But you can't get a rainbow without a little rain " 

Stay strong and keep going . Things will get better :) 

Good night 

Much love, love much-ly

#100happydays: day 2

Good Evening :) 

So today's not been particularly spectacular however it's in no way been bad . When I came to writing today's #100happydays I'm not going to lie, I panicked just a little bit . I know, I know it's only day 2 and I'm struggling ;) So I sat down and made a list of everyday good that happened today and made me smile. This is something I truly recommend you do because its really helps you see the great things you miss in a day that really wasn't that bad and has plenty of hidden smiles that your mind just glossed over when you remembered your day ... and why on earth would you want to forget the moments that make you smile however small they are :) I love Dr. Zeus quotes I find them incredibly uplifting and they often carry a positive can do attitude, something of which we could all benefit from a little of . My apologies for the rambling ( its a bad habit of mine ) but I promise this is going somewhere :) One of my favourite Dr.Zeus quotes is " Don't give up. I believe in you all. A person's a person, no matter how small."

Now I ask you, shouldn't the same theory apply for those moments that tease those 17 muscles into a smile no matter how small be just as important ?

I quickly realised that the best happy moment I had today was around lunch time when I was with my friends in the library . Me and my best friend were telling them a story about the time me and her set off the smoke alarm in my house at 2 am while everyone slept ... well they were asleep ;) In a nut shell, following the being told off repeat-ably for making too much noise , we burnt some chips , set off the smoke alarm , didn't even eat the chips and then on our way to bed I forgot my bedroom door was open so with my laptop in hand I ever so gracefully fell straight through the door and face planted the floor ... I truly am a sophisticated, elegant young woman ;) This was then followed by numerous shouts from across the house after waking everyone for the fifth time that evening telling me to shut up :O I am so grateful to be blessed with such a caring family haha ;)

So today's photo is not one I took because I simply couldn't think of a photo I could take to capture the happiness of a moment of laughter shared with friends. The sort of laughter where you laugh so hard you snort and struggle to breath but you couldn't care less because you're with people you love and there's a smile imprinted in your face for at least a good ten minutes :) What could be better . So instead I choose a picture that I thought symbolised the magic powers of a story that makes you laugh .. after all I guess laughters a form of magic in its self! 

It is my firm belief that as the lovable Charlie Chaplin so beautifully put :

" A day without laughter is a day wasted " 

Laughter is a fantastic thing that can bring light in the darkest of times. So next time your feeling down ; find something to make you laugh. Surround yourself with friends that make you feel good about yourself, the ones who know how to make a joke out of life, who you know will leave you in stitches! Alternatively turn to my online haven ... YOUTUBE ! :) I can always rely on my favourite YouTuber's to cheer me up .. try Danisnotonfire he will without a doubt leave you laughing uncontrollably . A good laugh might not fix your problems but it will definitely make you feel a lot better about them, even if its just for  a  little while :) 

Have a nice day 
bye for now 
much love, love much-ly

#100happydays : day 1

Hiii :) 

As I've previously mentioned , I am very much a fan of positivity. Recently one of my friends started posting everyday something that made her happy in that day with the hashtag #100happydays . I looked into this and it turned out to be a challenge to post a picture of something that made you happy each day for 100 days :) If you would like to try

 Anyways, today I'm happy for a lot of reasons :) I'm  in a fantastically bubbly mood . I had a lovely lunch at my grandad's , walked his dog in the sunshine and I spent the afternoon laughing with my dad :) and of course, being myself the highlight of my day came when my wildlife apricot yogurt played on the brand name wildlife and labelled the yogurt ... Wait for it * drum roll *  "ape-ricot yogurt " for someone who is a 5 year old child at heart this made my smile therefore making my day, because as I like to say; smiling is good for you :)

I Hope you're having a lovely day today, and if you're not I hope it gets a lot better :) Remember:

" Every day may not be good, but there's something good in everyday. "


Keep your head up and look for your smile in today because it might be as small as a pun on a yogurt packet but I guarantee it's there :) And if you honestly , truly can't find it, I personally believe you need to look harder . However if all else fails,  get up and go make that something good in your day happen. You could simply bake a cake for your grandma or write a hopeful note (a post it note with a nice message on left somewhere for a stranger) and spread a little happiness because I'm pretty sure you won't be able to help getting a little on yourself :)

much love , love much-ly
