10 Things To Make Your Day

Recent events have led me to reflect on the shortness of life. After losing the beautiful blogger Carly Lovett in the Tunisia Attack on Friday, it was a sharp awakening; the loss of lives of any of those claim in terrorist attacks is always saddening, but as a blogger myself who recognised her name popping up in blog comments and chats, it just brought things close to home. The same weekend, I woke up to the news that my dear friend, Frances Cassandra had suddenly passed away, too.

Shocks like this make you think a little more about the important things in life, which is why I have 10 things to make your day, today. RIGHT NOW. Go on, try it. I dare you…

1. Pay someone a compliment today. Just one sincere compliment a day, and although you might think receiving them might feel nice – just try giving one. It’s dreamy to see someone’s face light up.
2. Eat that slice of pizza. Damn, one slice won’t be the tipping factor between whether you look hot in your bikini this year or not. Just eat it and enjoy all the cheesy gooey loveliness. Yum.
3. Paint your nails. A fresh set of fingertips can do wonders for your mood.
4. Wear that outfit that you usually save for best, you know, that one that makes you feel like a million dollars. You should feel like that all the time.
5. Make someone a lovely cup of tea; your mum, your friend, your colleague. Anyone, and have a chat. Tea soothes the soul.
6. Eat your lunch outside. So what if it’s a bit chilly? Put a cardigan on, take your salad out on the grass and have 10 minutes to yourself in the fresh air.
7. Just buy the damn shoes.
8. Change your bedsheets and your pyjamas on the same day, and savour every moment of diving into a bed of freshness and light. Mmm. It smells amazing.
9. If you like him, text him first. He’s probably not going to think it’s cringe, and is probably gonna think it’s kinda cute.
10. Love yourself. I know it’s hard, but even just a little bit will help. Don’t be so harsh on yourself – your bum doesn’t look big in that, and your hair looks great. You’re beautiful.

So kittens, I hope that gives you a little idea of how to make yourself happy, right now. The pictures in this post actually remind me of happy times, taken on holiday with my family; we’re cute, I know. Now, go off and have a lovely day.
