THE HAPPINESS POST

I definitely have some days where I'm in a bit of a funk and nothing seems to be able to cheer me up. I have decided though that I now need to become a much more positive person and if something doesn't go my way then its something to learn from and not dwell on. For todays post I thought i'd go through 25 things that cheer me up, put a smile on my face or give me that warm fuzzy feeling inside.

1. A productive day - if I don't have any particular plans for the day I still try and be productive and will either get some blogging done, university work or maybe have a spring clean
2. A compliment from a stranger - I recently got complimented on my makeup whilst shopping and it definitely made my day
3. Unexpected texts/calls - there is nothing better than getting that text telling you something exciting you weren't expecting
4. Online deliveries - its almost like giving yourself a present
5. A fresh lipstick - a new shade in my lipstick collection is always a bonus and as soon as your wear it you can feel like a new woman
6. When your makeup goes perfectly - if your eyebrows and winged eyeliner both match then you are ready to conquer the world
7. A sunny day - not only does the sunshine instantly lift your mood but it is also the perfect weather for a blog photography session
8. The holiday countdown - if you have a trip coming up there is no better feeling that knowing you'll be soon heading off to the airport and on that plan
9. A duvet day - although I love being productive have a day in front of the TV in my pyjamas is also amazing 
10. End of the day Friday - when I was working full time finally reaching Friday evening always put a smile on my face knowing I had two days off
11. Days out with loved ones - if you have plans for an exciting day out then the countdown to that can sometimes be just as good as a holiday
12. Shopping trip - as a self confessed shopaholic there is no better day then checking out all the new clothes and leaving with some treats.
13. Hunting down something in your size - if you've had a product on your wish list for a while then finally finding it in your size is amazing
14. A delicious meal - I mean who doesn't find that food makes you happy
15. Breakfast in bed - a chilled Saturday morning watching tv and eating breakfast in bed is perfect (especially if its bought by someone else)
16. Positive feedback on your work - whether its my uni work or blog getting positive feedback is incredible
17. A new outfit - If I ever buy new clothes when I first wear them I always feel so much more confident
18. A fresh hair do - I love the look and feeling of my hair after its been done at the hairdressers
19. Losing weight - if I'm on a diet and going to the gym then seeing it pay off is a great feeling
20. A night out/in with friends - whether we're hitting the clubs or getting a takeaway spending time with my friends is the best
21. A clean room and fresh bed sheets - as a bit of a clean freak having a clean room and fresh sheets always puts me in a good mood
22. Unexpected presents - receiving a gift, whatever it is, unexpectedly is always a reason to put a smile on my face
23. Spending time with my mum - I would probably say my mum is my best friend so spending quality time with her when I'm home from university is the best
24. Fresh nails - painting my nails and seeing them all nice and shiny is an instant mood lifter
25. A smile from a stranger - on a bad day a simple smile can lift my mood and remind me that not all is bad

What things make you happy?
